Quote of the day by Roman emperor Augustus: 'We write our names in the sand and then the waves roll in and wash them away' and how all human achievements eventually fade away
- 'We write our names in the sand and then the waves roll in and wash them away'Walking along any beach at sunset, one can sometimes see children and couples writing their names in the wet sand with a stick or a finger.
- Within minutes, the rising waves cover the letters and smooth the shoreline back into a blank surface.
- This small act is a universal human ritual, a simple but powerful attempt to leave a mark against the enormous scale of the ocean.
