Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
From Marcus Tullius Cicero
Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.
The safety of the people shall be the highest law.
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.
Honor is the reward of virtue.
