"Would that I could discover truth as..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.”

“In ancient times music was the foundation of all the sciences. Education was begun with music with the persuasion that nothing could be expected of a man who was ignorant of music.”

“A bureaucrat is the most despicable of men, though he is needed as vultures are needed, but one hardly admires vultures whom bureaucrats so strangely resemble. I have yet to meet a bureaucrat who was not petty, dull, almost witless, crafty or stupid, an oppressor or a thief, a holder of little authority in which he delights, as a boy delights in possessing a vicious dog. Who can trust such creatures?”

“Remember that what pulls the strings is the force hidden within; there lies the power to persuade, there the life, - there, if one must speak out, the real man.”

“I think if the people of this country can be reached with the truth, their judgment will be in favor of the many, as against the privileged few”

“If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself. Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”

“Dissembling harlot, thou art false in all!”

“Officers, what offence have these men done? DOGBERRY Marry, sir, they have committed false report; moreover, they have spoken untruths; secondarily, they are slanders; sixth and lastly, they have belied a lady; thirdly, they have verified unjust things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves.”

“So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.”
