Herodotus

The trials of living and the pangs of disease make even the short span of life too long.
Herodotus
It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a days journey and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed.
Herodotus
In peace children inter their parents, war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.
