「 Tempus edax rerum, tuque invidiosa vetustas omnia destruitis vitiatque dentibus aevi paulatum lenta consumitis omnia morte 」
— Ovid's Metamorphoses Book XV
ALT Herman Posthumus: Tempus Edax Rerum (1536). “Time the devourer, and the jealous years that pass, destroy all things, and nibbling them away, consume them gradually in a lingering death”
من أثقال جمال المرء، وبالتبع ما كسب بها من هالة وامتياز، أنها تورث في الإنسان موقفاً نفسياً معقداً تجاه التغير وظرف التقلب كما هي الحالة الطبيعية للإنسان؛ فينشئ عن ذلك تشوه وتأزم وجودي قلما أن يرتضي له علاجاً في غير ديمومة ذلك الجمال، وإذ به من نعمة إلى نقمة، ومن ملاحة إلى دمامة.

يوليوس قيصر لعوام روما، ٤٥-٤٦ ق.م، ملون:
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This repeats a promise Trump made in September 2026. The US has approximately 250 million adult citizens so the total cost would be over 1.25 trillion dollars. Congress must approve any such federal spending.

He wears no quivering and changeable human face, but, as it were, a mask with dignified, symmetrical features. He does not cry; he doesn't even alter his voice. When a real storm cloud thunders above him, he wraps himself in his cloak, and with slow steps he walks from beneath it
