Quote by Cato the Elder (234 BC-149 BC)

• We cannot control the evil tongues of others; but a good life enables us to disregard them.

• Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise.

• An orator is a good man who is skilled in speaking.

• After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one.

• Anger so clouds the mind, that it cannot perceive the truth.

• Even though work stops, expenses run on.
