Piety and holiness of life will propitiate the gods. [Lat., Deos placatos pietas efficiet et sanctitas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let a man practise the profession he best knows. [Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero
A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what is there more hideous than avarice, more brutal than lust, more contemptible than cowardice, more base than stupidity and folly?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All places are filled with fools. [Lat., Stultorum plenea sunt omnia.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we are forced, at every hour, to watch or listen to horrible events, this constant stream of ghastly impressions will deprive even the most delicate among us of all respect for humanity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The mansion should not be graced by its master, the master should grace the mansion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defence can actually be just.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
