Cato the Elder

                                                           We, as a Civilization, need Models .  Below is one of my Most Intense .

                                              Plutarch writing of Cato the Elder (Priscus) [a Roman] .

                            "What was even more remarkable was that he followed the same habits, not merely while he was young and full of ambition, but even when he was old and gray-headed and had served as Consul and celebrated a Triumph, and that he continued, like some Champion Athlete, to observe the rules of his Training and maintain his SEL-DISCIPLINE to the end .

                             "... he would rather do what was right and go unrewarded than do wrong and go unpunished, and that he was prepared to forgive everyone's mistakes except his own ."

                                       I LOVE this MAN  and I LOVE Plutarch for his Observations .
