These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation 
of age; they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of 
adversity; they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance 
abroad; they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our 
rural retreats.
  [Lat., Haec studia adolecentiam alunt, senectutem oblectant, 
secundas res ornant, adversis solatium et perfugium praebent, 
delectant domi, non impediunt foris, pernoctant nobiscum, 
peregrinantur, rusticantur.
 — Cicero (Marcus Tullius Cicero)
