Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

Summary

This quote suggests that even though peace may not always be perfect or just, it is still preferable to engaging in a war that is supposedly just. It implies that the consequences of war and the inherent violence and destruction that accompany it cannot outweigh any perceived notion of achieving justice. Therefore, the quote advocates for finding alternatives to war, even if the resulting peace may not meet all the requirements of fairness and justice.

Public lives are lived out on the job and in the marketplace

Public lives are lived out on the job and in the marketplace, where certain rules, conventions, laws, and social customs keep most of us in line. Private lives are lived out in the presence of family, friends, and neighbors who must be considered and respected even though the rules and proscriptions are looser than what's allowed in public. But in our secret lives, inside our own heads, almost anything goes.

I did not obey your instructions. No. I conformed to the instructions of truth and Nature, and maintained your interest, against your opinions, with a constancy that became me. A representative worthy of you ought to be a person of stability. I am to look, indeed, to your opinions,but to such opinions as you and I must have five years hence. I was not to look to the flash of the day. I knew that you chose me, in my place, along with others, to be a pillar of the state, and not a weathercock on the top of the edifice, exalted for my levity and versatility, and of no use but to indicate the shiftings of every fashionable gale.
