To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.
From Marcus Tullius Cicero
Brevity is the best recommendation of speech, whether in a senator or an orator.
Peace is liberty in tranquillity.
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
The higher we are placed, the more humbly we should walk.
Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
Brevity is a great charm of eloquence.
Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.
We must conceive of this whole universe as one commonwealth of which both gods and men are members.
Any man is liable to err, only a fool persists in error.
