Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one sees what is before his feet: we all gaze at the stars. [Lat., Quod est ante pedes nemo spectat: coeli scrutantur plagas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wisdom often exists under a shabby coat.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That, Senators, is what a favour from gangs amounts to. They refrain from murdering someone then they boast that they have spared him!
