And, again, the fact that men who were born
at the very same instant, are unlike in character,
career, and in destiny, makes it very clear that the
time of birth has nothing to do in determining man's
course in life. That is, unless perchance we are to
believe that nobody else was conceived and born
at the very same time that Africanus was. For
was there ever anyone like him?
