To such a man the protection of public office is given, and continually renewed. He emerges as a tyrant over the very people who raised him to power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtue is its own reward.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do nothing twice over.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fortune is not only blind herself, but blinds the people she has embraced.

Nothing is more disgraceful than insincerity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The judgment of posterity is truer, because it is free from envy and malevolence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rashness belongs to youth prudence to old age.
