Quote of the day

"From Alexander the Platonist: that we should not often or without due necessity either say to anyone or write in a letter, 'I am too busy,' nor in this way should we constantly try to evade the obligations imposed on us by our social relationships by pleading the excuse of urgent business." - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

This advice from nearly two thousand years ago has certainly held up well and is as relevant as ever.
