"Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years"
- Ausonius
About this Quote
In this quote, Ausonius motivates us to focus on today and the happiness that comes with it, rather than stressing over aging. He suggests that we ought to not dwell on the idea of old age, but rather accept the joy that each moment brings. By not counting the years, we can fully value the experiences and memories that time brings us. Ausonius advises us that life is meant to be resided in the present, and that we must not let the fear of aging overshadow the appeal and delight that can be found in every passing minute.
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
