Cicero: “For fear is but a poor safeguard of lasting power; while affection, on the other hand, may be trusted to keep it safe…”

For self-control is the foe of the passions, and the passions are the handmaids of pleasure.

For nothing is more commendable, nothing more becoming in a pre-eminently great man than courtesy and forbearance.

Such acts of generosity are not to be so highly esteemed as those which are performed with judgment, deliberation, and mature consideration.

For there are men who for fear of giving offence do not dare to express their honest opinion, no matter how excellent.
