There is nothing here that has not been explained before
And I have no skill in the art of rhetoric;
Therefore, lacking any intention to benefit others,
I write this in order to acquaint it to my mind.

Was this the fella who said, “Do not waste your time thinking about the past, because it’s over. Do not waste your time thinking about the future, because it hasn’t happened yet. And do not waste your time thinking about the present, because I didn’t get you one.” ?
