Thou knowest how numerous this tribe is, how united and how powerful in the assemblies. I will plead in a low voice so that only the judges may hear, for instigators are not lacking to stir up the crowd against me, and against all the best citizens. To scorn, in the interest of the Republic, this multitude of Jews so often turbulent in the assemblies shows a singular strength of mind. The money is in the Treasury; they do not accuse us of theft; they seek to stir up hatreds.
Marcus Tullius CiceroMost happy is he who is entirely self-reliant, and who centers all his requirements in himself alone.
Marcus Tullius CiceroIt is as hard for the good to suspect evil, as it is for the bad to suspect good.
