I’m so sorry for any inconvenience because the sentence is too long to post on Thread topic.
There is a really widespread proverb on Chinese network and it’s said to be a quote of Cicero. But I have problems on finding the original Latin sentence.
I translated the sentence from Chinese to English as:
The happiness of a serious person does not lie in the contemptuous companion of romanticism, amusement and laughter, but in perseverance and fortitude.
I would appreciate it if you Latinists can find the original Latin sentence and the source of this quote. But in my opinion this quote looks quite suspicious.
