"The mansion should not be graced by..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“He cannot be strict in judging, who does not wish others to be strict judges of himself.”

“Whatever is graceful is virtuous, and whatever is virtuous is graceful.”

“This is the part of a great man, after he has maturely weighed all circumstances, to punish the guilty, to spare the many, and in every state of fortune not to depart from an upright, virtuous conduct.”

“It is in their 'good' characters that novelists make, unawares, the most shocking self- revelations.”

“Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinction. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit. It is like ice, on which no beauty of form, no majesty of carriage, can plead any immunity; they must walk gingerly, according to the laws of ice, or down they must go, dignity and all.”

“for he is such a disagreeable man, that it would be quite a misfortune to be liked by him.”

“I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime.”

“The chief glory of a woman is not to be talked of, said Pericles, himself a much-talked-of-man.”

“Nothing in his life became him like leaving it.”
