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

“We all are imbued with the love of praise.”

“A sensual and intemperate youth hands over a worn-out body to old age.[Lat., Libidinosa etenim et intemperans adolescentiam effoetum corpus tradit senectuti.]”

“The men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.”

“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.”

“I believe that one can never leave home. I believe that one carries the shadows, the dreams, the fears and the dragons of home under one's skin, at the extreme corners of one's eyes and possibly in the gristle of the earlobe.”

“I liked St. Louis, when they were in the American League, because that was going home. I had all my family and friends there.”

“A lonely impulse of delight”

“In the highest civilization the book is still the highest delight.”

“Everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy kind of delight.”
