"It is pleasant to recall past troubles...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Nulla (enim) res tantum ad dicendum proficit, quantum scriptio Nothing so much assists learning as writing down what we wish to remember.”

“Generosity should never exceed ability.”

“Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? In heaven's name,Catiline, how long will you abuse ourpatience?”

“And when I am forgotten, as I shall be, And asleep in dull cold marble, where no mention Of me must be heard of, say, I taught thee.”

“All of childhood's unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment. In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.”

“Friends, though absent, are still present.”

“You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

“Every talent must unfold itself in fighting.”

“The cruelest foe is a masked benefactor. The wars which make history so dreary have served the cause of truth and virtue.”
