If a man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.
Marcus Tullius CiceroIn men of the highest character and noblest genius there is to be found an insatiable desire for honor, command, power, and glory.
Marcus Tullius CiceroAll men have a feeling, that they would rather you told them a civil lie than give them a point blank refusal.... If you make a promise, the thing is still uncertain, depends on a future day, and concerns but few people; but if you refuse you alienate people to a certainty and at once, and many people too.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
