I never heard of an old man forgetting where he had buried his money! Old people remember what interests them: the dates fixed for their lawsuits, and the names of their debtors and creditors.
From Marcus Tullius Cicero
The sinews of war are infinite money.
In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy.
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.
In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.
When you have no basis for an argument, abuse the plaintiff.
