Wars, therefore, are to be undertaken for this end, that we may live in peace, without being injured but when we obtain the victory, we must preserve those enemies who behaved without cruelty or inhumanity during the war.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

No sensible man (among the many things that have been written on this kind) ever imputed inconsistency to another for changing his mind. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam (multa autem de hoc genere scripta sunt) mutationem consili inconstantiam dixit esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Any man is liable to err, only a fool persists in error.

The master sometimes serves, and the servant sometimes is master.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
