Tot Facienda Parum Factum
“So much to do, so little done”
Last words uttered by Cecil John Rhodes, British businessman, mining magnate and founder of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe and Zambia) on his deathbed.

This was the motto of my high school and whenever I remember these words, I recall my teachers, trying vainly to drum it into my mind that I was to find more time to study.
Good or bad, the words had little or no effect on a young man who found dreaming of far greater excitement and comfort.
