Vivit is qui multis usui est, vivit is qui se utitur; qui vero latitant et torpent sic in domo sunt quomodo in conditivo. Horum licet in limine ipso nomen marmori inscribas: mortem suam antecesserunt.

-- L. Annaei Senecae Epistula VI, 60, 4

The man who is useful to many and to himself is really alive; those who hide and get lazy stay in their homes as if it were a tomb. You could as well write their name on marble and put it on their threshold, because they are already dead.
