Cicero

First of all, despite what you've been told, Mr Cicero never said most of the following,

Although, maybe he should have.

What he did say however, was this,

"If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it."

"The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others."

"The higher we are placed, the more humbly we should walk."

"If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains; if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains."

"I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own."

"I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know."

"Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief."

"A tear dries quickly when it is shed for troubles of others."

"I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity."

“In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.”

“The wise are instructed by reason; ordinary minds by experience; the stupid, by necessity; and brutes by instinct.”

"The more laws, the less justice."

"He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason."

“Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.”

"The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory."

"Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable."
