Cicero
Friendship make prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it.
Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquility, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
