Ignorance of impending evil is far better than a knowledge of its approach.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
This is our special duty, that if anyone specially needs our help, we should give him such help to the utmost of our power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole glory of virtue resides in activity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
