While there's life, there's hope. - Marcus Tullius Cicero

"The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal."

"I criticize by creation, not by finding fault."

"O philosophy, life's guide! O searcher-out of virtue and expeller of vices! What could we and every age of men have been without thee? Thou hast produced cities; thou hast called men scattered about into the social enjoyment of life."

"Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief."

"For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives."
