Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
No sane man will dance.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

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
We are all excited by the love of praise, and the noblest are most influenced by glory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We are not born, we do not live for ourselves alone our country, our friends, have a share in us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make a mistake only a fool keeps making the same one.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
