All I can do is to urge on you to regard friendship as the greatest thing in the world for there is nothing which so fits in with our nature, or is so exactly what we want in prosperity or adversity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
