#1 Big fan of the ancient Greeks myself.

Heraclitus, circa 500 bc

'You cannot step into the same river twice.'

'That doesn't stop you drowning every time.'

#3 Looks to me like Cicero was foretelling modern-day leftist progressives.

#4 By the way, here are all six of Cicero's mistakes - “Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
1. Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
2. Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
6. Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”

#5 #2 smacks a little too much of "inshallah" for my taste

Besides Cicero ended up with a sword in his neck - maybe he should have done a little worrying, then a little scurrying....

#6 Bobby, I think the Dali Lama borrowed and slightly rewrote a couple of those.
