"It might be pardonable to refuse to defend some men, but to defend them negligently is nothing short..." — Marcus Tullius Cicero

No obligation to do the impossible is binding.

Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.

The false is nothing but an imitation of the true.

No poet or orator has ever existed who believed there was any better than himself.
