"There is no place more delightful than..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Friendship is the only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed.”

“Ability without honor is useless.”

“Laws are silent in time of war.”

“Should not every apartment in which man dwells be lofty enough to create some obscurity overhead, where flickering shadows may play at evening about the rafters?”

“We Are All the SameListen to the reeds as they sway apart;Hear them speak of lost friends.At birth, you were cut from your bed,Crying and grasping in separation.Everyone listens, knowing your song.You yearn for others who know your name,And the words to your lament.We are all the same, all the same,Longing to find our way back;Back to the one, back to the only one.”

“When I speak of home, I speak of the place where in default of a better--those I love are gathered together; and if that place where a gypsy's tent, or a barn, I should call it by the same good name notwithstanding.”

“Console-toi, tu ne me chercherais pas si tu ne m'avais trouve . Comfort yourself.You would not seek me if you had not found me.”

“The most unendurable thing, to be sure, the really terrible thing, would be a life without habits, a life which continually required improvisation.”

“The home is a tryst-the place where we retire and shut the world out.”
