"Old age by nature is rather talkative...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Too much liberty leads both men and nations to slavery.”

“Anyone may fairly seek his own advantage, but no one has a right to do so at another's expense.”

“It is our duty, my young friends, to resist old age.”

“The best Armour of Old Age is a well spent life preceding it; a Life employed in the Pursuit of useful Knowledge, in honourable Actions and the Practice of Virtue; in which he who labours to improve himself from his Youth, will in Age reap the happiest Fruits of them; not only because these never leave a Man, not even in the extremest Old Age; but because a Conscience bearing Witness that our Life was well-spent, together with the Remembrance of past good Actions, yields an unspeakable Comfort to the Soul”

“A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.”

“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.”

“I have known some men possessed of good qualities which were very serviceable to others, but useless to themselves; like a sun-dial on the front of a house, to inform the neighbours and passengers, but not the owner within.”

“Except a person be part coward, it is not a compliment to say he is brave.”

“It would not be better if things happened to men just as they wish.”
