Herodotus Quotes
Seventy Years I Regard As The Limit Of The Life Of Man. In These Seventy Years Are Contained, Without Reckoning Intercalary Months, Twenty-five Thousand And Two Hundred Days. Add An Intercalary Month To Every Other Year, That The Seasons May Come Round At The Right Time, And There Will Be, Besides The Seventy Years, Thirty-five Such Months, Making An Addition Of One Thousand And Fifty Days. The Whole Number Of The Days Contained In The Seventy Years Will Thus Be Twenty-six Thousand Two Hundred And Fifty, Whereof Not One But Will Produce Events Unlike The Rest. Hence Man Is Wholly Accident.
