Marcus Tullius Cicero Republic Quotations

In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.

"What greater gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth?"

What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim munus reiplicae afferre majus, meliusve possumus, quam si docemus atque erudimus juventutem?]

How great an evil do you see that may have been announced by you against the Republic? - Videtis quantum scelus contra rem publicam vobis nuntiatum sit?
