Cato the Elder’s list of regrets.

>He would likewise say that the soul of a lover lived in the body of another: and that in his whole life he most repented of three things; one was, that he had trusted a secret to a woman; another that he went by water when he might have gone by land; the third, that he had remained one whole day without doing any business of moment. _____________________________ **Note:** Here is the list in modern terms: Trusted a women; they are not to be trusted (lol). Took the easy way out of something. Spent an entire day doing nothing. _____________________________ **Source:** Plutarch, John Dryden, and Arthur Hugh Clough. "Marcus Cato." *Plutarch's Lives*.
