MY TWO CENTS
If you have a garden and a library… what more could one want, but food and love. This quote reminds me to appreciate what I have and not want for more than flowers and reading, as they can fill my days gladly.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Marcus Tullius Cicero was a lawyer, scholar, writer and statesmen of Rome. He was born in 106 bc and was beheaded in 43 bc. He wrote numerous letters to family and friends and for political reasons. They were rediscovered during the 14th century, which had a profound effect on the Renaissance of classical Roman culture and had an even more profound effect during the eighteenth century Enlightenment period. His work is one of the most influential in writing the history of Rome and the Roman Republic. How great is his quote! What I see is from it is the simplicity and appreciation of life.
