"A man would have no pleasures in..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“He has no other recommendation, save an assumed and crafty solemnity of demeanour.”

“The leaders should all relate to this principle: the governed must be as happy as possible.”

“Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?”

“Are you so unobservant as not to have found out that sanity and happiness are an impossible combination?”

“There is an excess both in happiness and misery above our power of sensation.”

“and the whole forest would give itself up to jollification for weeks on end.”

“Live and learn and pass it on.”

“Love, what is love? I don't think you can really put it into words. Love is understanding someone, caring for him, sharing his joys and sorrows. This eventually includes physical love. You've shared something, given something away and received something in return, whether or not you're married, whether or not you have a baby. Losing your virtue doesn't matter, as long as you know that for as long as you live you'll have someone at your side who understands you, and who doesn't have to be shared with anyone else!”

“The cure for materialism is to have enough for everybody and to share. When people are sure of having what they need they cease to think about it.”
