"Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Excessive liberty leads both nations and individuals into excessive slavery.[Lat., Nimia libertas et populis et privatis in nimiam servitutem cadit.]”

“Take from a man his reputation for probity, and the more shrewd and clever he is, the more hated and mistrusted he becomes.”

“The higher our position the more modestly we should behave.”

“A friend is the hope of the heart.”

“Be civil to all; serviceable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.”

“Virtuous men alone possess friends.”

“The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.”

“Conservation and rural-life policies are really two sides of the same policy; and down at the bottom this policy rests upon the fundamental law that neither man nor nation can prosper unless, in dealing with the present, thought is steadily given for the future.”

“Industry, commerce and security are the surest roads to the happiness and prosperity of people.”
