Marcus Tullius Cicero

But there will be one law eternal and unchangeable binding all times and upon all peoples.

Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue. [Lat., Nam quae voluptate, quasi mercede aliqua, ad officium impellitur, ea non est virtus sed fallax imitatio simulatioque virtutis.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What greater gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth?
