Marcus Tullius Cicero
Armed forces abroad are of little value unless there is prudent counsel at home
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every evil in the bud is easily crushed: as it grows older, it becomes stronger.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing more shocking than to see assertion and approval dashing ahead of cognition and perception.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The chief recommendation is modesty, then dutiful conduct toward parents, then affection for kindred.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
