Cicero: “This attitude demolishes the whole structure of civil society.”

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.

The first office of justice is to keep one man from doing harm to another, unless provoked by wrong; and the next is to lead men to use common possessions for the common interests, private property for their own.

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

From this attitude come greatness of soul and a sense of superiority to worldly conditions.
