"A letter does not blush...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.”

“History illumes reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life”

“The man who commands efficiently must have obeyed others in the past, and the man who obeys dutifully is worthy of someday being a commander.”

“Men of few words are the best men." (3.2.41)”

“I live in terror of not being misunderstood.”

“There is a way between voice and presence, where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens; with wandering talk it closes.”

“Art is to beauty what honor is to honesty.”

“When you are influential and highly respected, people tend to tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear. They are seeking your approval, or they flatter you. Unfortunately, this creates a gap between what you hear and reality. If you find yourself in that situation, you will need to work extra hard to get the people close to you to speak honestly into your life. And you will have to become highly intentional in observing and listening.”

“Homely truth is unpalatable.”
