We are all excited by the love of praise, and the noblest are most influenced by glory.
Trahimur omnes laudis studio, et optimus quisque maxime gloria ducitur.

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.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
