Famous Quotes (6)

The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall.

Marcus Tullius Cicero writing in 55 BC

Also as he has been translated into modern times

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

Cannot people realize how large an income is thrift?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
