I'm coming home, I'm coming home, Tell the world I'm coming home.

Hello all, sorry for being so inactive lately but I'll be back on shortly once I'm finished with finals. I'll probably be doing Brilliant for like 5 hours a day minimum over summer so I'll be more active then.

I just was curious, does anyone perchance know where/in what text Cicero stated something like "I don't want the money, but to be remembered for what I've done"? I've tried searching the web but I'm still empty handed. Any help is appreciated.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Hey, Trevor, glad to hear you're still alive and kicking. I had to laugh at the juxtaposition of this quote and your hashtag #Easymoney. :) The wording you've provided doesn't sound all that Ciceroesque. It seems to have a similar sentiment to

"Virtue is its own reward",
"In prosperity let us avoid pride, disdain and arrogance",
"If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains", and even
"Friendship makes prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it",

but I haven't found anything with the key words "money" and "remembered" in it. Gave it my best shot. :(

P.S.. You'll still be the first to know when I finally post my "special" 1000 follower question. Did I ever mention that I am a consummate procrastinator? :)
