Quote by Pliny the Younger (61-113)

• An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.

• However often you may have done them a favour, if you once refuse they forget everything except your refusal.

• That indolent but agreeable condition of doing nothing.

• There is nothing to write about, you say. Well then, write and let me know just this - that there is nothing to write about; or tell me in the good old style if you are well. That's right. I am quite well.
