If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make a mistake only a fool keeps making the same one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For one day spent well, and agreeably to your precepts, is preferable to an eternity of error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Piety and holiness of life will propitiate the gods. [Lat., Deos placatos pietas efficiet et sanctitas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Enmity is anger watching the opportunity for revenge.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dissimulation creeps gradually into the minds of men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men do not realize how great an income thrift is.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
One who sees the Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies and who understands that neither the soul nor the Supersoul is ever destroyed, actually sees.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The forehead is the gate of the mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Orators are most vehement when they have the weakest cause, as men get on horseback when they cannot walk.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
