"Some people take pleasure in regaling one and all with details of their poor health. They are happy to give an organ recital to anyone who will listen."

Some men make a womanish complaint that it is a great misfortune to die before our time. I would ask what time? Is it that of Nature? But she, indeed, has lent us life, as we do a sum of money, only no certain day is fixed for payment. What reason then to complain if she demands it at pleasure, since it was on this condition that you received it.

— Marcus Tullius Cicero
