"All great men are partially inspired...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Honor is the reward of virtue.”

“Friendship is not to be sought for its wages, but because its revenue consists entirely in the love which it implies.”

“Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.”

“Spira, spera. (breathe, hope)”

“When I write, I aim in my mind not toward New York but toward a vague spot a little to the east of Kansas.”

“I write some country music. There's a song called 'I Hope You Dance.' Incredible. I was going to write that poem; somebody beat me to it.”

“I'm not a corny-ass booty freak! I'm the greatest musician of all-time.”

“The great man does not think beforehand of his words that they may be sincere, nor of his actions that they may be resolute- he simply speaks and does what is right.”

“We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.”
