Marcus Tullius Cicero
The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For out of such an ungoverned populace one is usually chosen as a leader, someone bold and unscrupulous who curries favor with the people by giving them other men's property. 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
I know not any season of life that is past more agreeably than virtuous old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of evils one should choose the least. [Lat., Ex malis eligere minima oportere.]

Non nobis solum nati sumus. (Not for ourselves alone are we born.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who acknowledges a kindness has it still, and he who has a grateful sense of it has requited it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man of courage is also full of faith.

Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
