Marcus Tullius Cicero
I have sworn with my tongue, but my mind is unsworn. [Lat., Juravi lingua, mentem injuratem gero.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To teach is a necessity, to please is a sweetness, to persuade is a victory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.
