Sic fluunt...

We are all stumblers, and the beauty of life is in the stumbling - in trying to become more graceful as the years go by. #theroadtocharacter

This should drive me back to one of Horace's Odes. Sic fluunt annes labuntur is the way I remember it. I wonder how close that is to what Horace actually wrote.
