Marcus Tullius Cicero

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.

Sweet is the memory of past troubles.

We must conceive of this whole universe as one commonwealth of which both gods and men are members.

The eyes like sentinel occupy the highest place in the body.

When you are aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the second or even the third rank.

More law, less justice.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.

For a tear is quickly dried, especially when shed for the misfortunes of others.

No one has the right to be sorry for himself for a misfortune that strikes everyone.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.

A tear dries quickly when it is shed for troubles of others.
