Time destroys the groundless conceits of men; it confirms decisions founded on reality.
Opinionum enim commenta delet dies; naturæ judicia confirmat.

More quotes by Cicero
I never cease urging peace, which, however unfair, is better than the justest war in the world.
Every one is least known to himself, and it is very difficult for a man to know himself.

A generation which ignores history has no past —and no future.
Nothing is there to come, and nothing past,
But an eternal now does always last.
