Another man is a famous lawyer. People fight to get him to take their cases. He draws huge crowds to the courthouse — so many that most can't even hear him speak. But he says, "When will vacation time come?" Every person rushes through life. They long for the future and feel tired of the present. But a person who uses all his time for his own purposes — who plans each day like he's planning his whole life — neither wishes for tomorrow nor fears it. What new pleasure could any hour bring him? He knows all pleasures and has enjoyed them to the point of being sick of them.
another is an advocate who is fought for in all the courts, and who draws immense audiences, who crowd all the forum to a far greater distance than they can hear him; "When," says he, "will vacation-time come?" Every man hurries through his life, and suffers from a yearning for the future, and a weariness of the present: but he who disposes of all his time for his own purposes, who arranges all his days as though he were arranging the plan of his life, neither wishes for nor fears the morrow: for what new pleasure can any hour now bestow upon him? he knows it all, and has indulged in it all even to satiety.
