A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is truely the witness of times past, the light of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
