Cato the Elder was a famous Senator in Rome. His famous demand that “Carthage must be destroyed” led to the Third Punic War and the fulfillment of his dream. One day a friend remarked to him: “It’s a scandal that no statue has been erected to you in Rome! I am going to form a committee to see that this is done.” Cato: “No. I would rather have people ask ‘why is there no statue of Cato?’ than have them ask ‘why is there a statue of Cato?’”
