Marcus Tullius Cicero

Here is a man whose life and actions the world has already condemned - yet whose enormous fortune...has already brought him acquittal!

Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.

Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

It is foolish to tear one__ hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.

The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal.

For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.

When you wish to instruct, be brief; that men's [children's] minds take in quickly what you say, learn its lesson, and retain it faithfully. Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind.

Freedom is a man's natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law.

More law, less justice.

The safety of the people shall be the highest law.

A home without books is a body without soul.
