"We are all excited by the love..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The beginnings of all things are small.”

“Trust no one unless you have eaten much salt with him.”

“An ancient custom obtains force of nature.”

“The mark of extraordinary merit is to see those most envious of it constrained to praise.”

“We often make use of envenomed praise, that reveals on the rebound, as it were, defects in those praised which we dare not exposeany other way.”

“Nothing ought more to humiliate men who have merited great praise than the care they still take to boast of little things.”

“Always there is something worth saying about glory, about gratitude.”

“I have always been of the opinion that unpopularity earned by doing what is right is not unpopularity at all, but glory.”

“There is a certain virtue in every good man, which night and day stirs up the mind with the stimulus of glory, and reminds it that all mention of our name will not cease at the same time with our lives, but that our fame will endure to all posterity.”
