"It is not the place that maketh..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The man who backbites an absent friend, nay, who does not stand up for him when another blames him, the man who angles for bursts of laughter and for the repute of a wit, who can invent what he never saw, who cannot keep a secret -- that man is black at heart: mark and avoid him.”

“I follow nature as the surest guide, and resign myself with implicit obedience to her sacred ordinances.”

“What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.”

“In other words, character is far more important than intellect to the race as to the individual. We need intellect, and there is no reason why we should not have it together with character; but if we must choose between the two we choose character without a moment's hesitation.”

“Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way.”

“Servants must be big people. Big enough to go on, remembering the right and forgetting the wrong.”

“Every true man is a cause, a country, and an age; requires infinite spaces and numbers and time fully to accomplish his design;--and posterity seem to follow his steps as a train of clients.”

“One of the roles of the Presidency is to lead a political party. Having a President in office is usually a huge advantage to a party because it gives the party a mouthpiece and an advocate at the highest level.”

“You know, if Michael Jordan can scream at the refs, me as Kanye West, as the Michael Jordan of music, can go and say, 'This is wrong.'”
