"The nobler a man, the harder it..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“I hate all children of precocious talent.”

“No man in his senses will dance.”

“It is a great thing to know your vices.”

“O lady, nobility is thine, and thy form is the reflection of thy nature!”

“Noble fathers have noble children.”

“The heroic soul does not sell its justice and its nobleness.”

“The mark of the man of the world is absence of pretension. He does not make a speech; he takes a low business-tone, avoids all brag, is nobody, dresses plainly, promises not at all, performs much, speaks in monosyllables, hugs his fact.”

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

“Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.”
