"The high-minded man
must care more for the truth
than for what people think."
Aristotle
It was during their reign that Saturn suddenly disappeared, and Janus then devised means to add to his honors. First he gave the name Saturnia to all the land which acknowledged his rule; and then he built an altar, instituting rites as to a god and calling these rites the Saturnalia—a fact which goes to show how very much older the festival is than the city of Rome. And it was because Saturn had improved the conditions of life that, by order of Janus, religious honors were paid to him, as his effigy indicates, which received the additional attribute of a sickle, the symbol of harvest.
Saturn is credited with the invention of the art of grafting, with the cultivation of fruit trees, and with instructing men in everything that belongs to the fertilizing of the fields. Furthermore, at Cyrene his worshipers, when they offer sacrifice to him, crown themselves with fresh figs and present each other with cakes, for they hold that he discovered honey and fruits. Moreover, at Rome men call him “Sterculius,” as having been the first to fertilize the fields with dung (stercus). His reign is said to have been a time of great happiness, both on account of the universal plenty that then prevailed and because as yet there was no division into bond and free—as one may gather from the complete license enjoyed by slaves at the Saturnalia.
Macrobius
- Mas ele me bateu tanto, tanto, Portuga. Não faz mal...
Funguei compridamente.
– Não faz mal, eu vou matar ele.
- Que é isso menino, matares teu pai?
- Vou sim. Eu já até que comecei. Matar não quer dizer a gente pegar revolver de Buck Jones e fazer bum! Não é isso. A gente mata no coração. Vai deixando de querer bem. E um dia a pessoa morreu.

- But he beat me so, so, Portuga. But no problem ...
I long sniffled.
- Never mind, I'll kill him.
- What is that boy, kill your father?
- Yes, I will. I've even started it. Killing does not mean we get revolver from Buck Jones and do bum! Not that. We kill in the heart. We stop wishing well. And one day the person died.

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
Abraham Lincoln
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.
Lord Byron
Every spirit makes its house, and we can give a shrewd guess from the house to the inhabitant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
William Shakespeare
