Tips of Ancient Wisdom 6

Nec vero dubitat agricola, quamvis sit senex, quaerenti, cui serat respondere: 'Dis immortalibus, qui me non accipere modo haec a maioribus voluerunt, sed etiam posteris prodere.' 




And if you ask a farmer, however old, for whom he is planting, he will unhesitatingly reply, "For the Immortal Gods, who have willed not only that I should receive these blessings from my ancestors, but also that I should hand them on to posterity."

Cicero De Senectute per. 25
