"The popular breeze - Aura popularis..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The man who commands efficiently must have obeyed others in the past, and the man who obeys dutifully is worthy of someday being a commander.”

“A youth of sensuality and intemperance delivers over to old age a worn-out body.”

“Never can custom conquer nature, for she is ever unconquered.”

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

“If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.”

“Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.”

“Our part is to pursue with steadiness what is right, turning neither to right nor left for the intrigues or popular delusions of the day, assured that the public approbation will in the end be with us.”

“I fear the popular notion of success stands in direct opposition in all points to the real and wholesome success. One adores public opinion, the other, private opinion; one, fame, the other, desert; one, feats, the other, humility; one, lucre, the other, love; one, monopoly, and the other, hospitality of mind.”

“I have more fans and more followers and more supporters. Because the people who actually saw the Joe Frazier Muhammad Ali fight, they saw me win at least nine rounds - the people who know boxing.”
