"I believe that no characteristic is so distinctively human as the sense of indebtedness we feel, not necessarily for a favor received, but even for the slightest evidence of kindness; and there is nothing so boorish, savage, inhuman as to appear to be overwhelmed by a favor, let alone unworthy of it."
Marcus Tullius CiceroA mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.
Marcus Tullius CiceroWe are not born, we do not live for ourselves alone; our country, our friends, have a share in us.
