Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Promises are not to be kept, if the keeping of them is to prove harmful to those to whom you have made them.
