"The man who backbites an absent friend,..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.”

“Friends are proved by adversity.”

“Let us remember that justice must be observed even to the lowest.”

“Blow, blow, thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As mans ingratitude Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Heigh-ho sing, heigh-ho unto the green holly Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly. Then heigh-ho the holly This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend rememberd not.”

“The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.”

“Friendship of the wise is good; a wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.”

“Your enemies can kill you, but only your friends can hurt you.”

“O, Men's vows are women's traitors! All good seeming, By thy revolt, O husband, shall be thought Put on for villainy, not born where't grows, But worn a bait for ladies.”

“Et tu Brute! (You too, Brutus!)”
