It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.
Cicero
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Cicero
For every man's nature is concealed with many folds of disguise, and covered as it were with various veils. His brows, his eyes, and very often his countenance, are deceitful, and his speech is most commonly a lie.
Cicero
