For now my life is approaching its evening.
ἤδη γὰρ ὁ βίος οὑμὸς ἑσπέραν ἄγει.

More quotes by Alexis
His nose he anoints, and thinks it plain
'Tis good for health with scents to feed the brain.
For no long time the flatterer flourishes,
For none can brook a grey-haired parasite.
Not in vain oaths should prudent men believe,
But put their trust in actions.
