- 106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Cato Maior De Senectute 3.9:
- Aptissima omnīnō sunt, Scīpiō et Laelī, arma senectūtis artēs exercitātiōnēsque virtūtum, quae in omnī aetāte cultae, cum diū multumque vīxerīs, mīrificōs ecferunt frūctūs, nōn sōlum quia numquam dēserunt, nē extrēmō quidem tempore aetātis (quamquam id quidem maximum est), vērum etiam quia cōnscientiā bene actae vītae multōrumque bene factōrum recordātiō iūcundissima est.
- Altogether, Scipio and Laelius, the most effective weapons of old age are the principles and the constant practice of the virtues. When these have been cultivated throughout every stage of life — after one has lived a long and full life — they yield wonderful fruits. This is true not only because they never fail you, not even at the very end of life (though that is certainly of the highest importance), but also because the consciousness of a life well-spent and the memory of many good deeds is a source of the greatest possible joy.
