Marcus Tullius Cicero
Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hours and days and months and years go by the past returns no more, and what is to be we cannot know but whatever the time gives us in which we live, we should therefore be content.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The man who is always fortunate cannot easily have a great reverence for virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
How much in love with himself, and that too without a rival!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Orators are most vehement when they have the weakest cause, as men get on horseback when they cannot walk.
