Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to have knowledge of what happened before you were born is to be condemned to live as a child.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Brevity is the best recommendation of speech, whether in a senator or an orator.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtue is increased by the smile of approval and the love of renown is the greatest incentive to honourable acts.

Nothing is so secure as that money will not defeat it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
