Cicero: “Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.”

For we are all attracted and drawn to a zeal for learning and knowing; and we think it glorious to excel therein, while we count it base and immoral to fall into error, to wander from the truth, to be ignorant, to be led astray.

So, then, it is truth that is, as it were, the stuff with which this virtue has to deal and on which it employs itself.

And so, when we have leisure from the demands of business cares, we are eager to see, to hear, to learn something new, and we esteem a desire to know the secrets or wonders of creation as indispensable to a happy life.

Again, there are certain duties that we owe even to those who have wronged us.
