"The higher our position the more modestly..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“To live long, live slowly.”

“Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason.”

“No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil; nor temperate, who considers pleasure the highest good.”

“It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs.”

“Pray, do not mock me.I am a very foolish fond old man,Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less;And, to deal plainly,I fear I am not in my perfect mind.”

“The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride; The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside; The doorband strong enough from robbers to defend; This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend.”

“I know what I would do if I were coach. I'd determine our strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. And it's pretty clear what our strength is.”

“The India I want, I'll never tire of repeating, is a more just and less poor India, one entirely free of foreign influences. If I thought the country was already marching toward these objectives, I'd give up politics immediately and retire as prime minister.”

“Any Idiot can point out a problem .... A leader is willing to do something about it! Leaders solve problems!”
