CDZ Have you Read Cicero?

Apparently he was very influential with the Enlightenment era writers, Locke, Kirk, Adams and all theose white dudes, which in turn made them popular among the Founding Fathers.

Here are a few quotations from that dead white guy:

“Never injure a friend, even in jest.”
“Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.”
“The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.”
“Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful good society' which shall now be Rome, interpreted to mean 'more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.'”
“If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.”
“Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”
“Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.”
“The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.”
“Read at every wait; read at all hours; read within leisure; read in times of labor; read as one goes in; read as one goes out. The task of the educated mind is simply put: read to lead.”
“It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity that great things are achieved, but by reflection, force of character, and judgment.”
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
“Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.”
“Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.”
“It is the peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others and to forget his own.”
“The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.”
“Extreme justice is extreme injustice.”
Wow superb,,,,,,there is nothing new under the sun
 
Jews were a significant demographic in the Roman Empire. The Babylonian cult went into decline as it alienated more and more Jews and so many converted to the Christian Jewish sect and assimilated. They were anywhere from 5% to 15% of the Roman empire, and probably over 20% of the eastern empire. Modern 'Judaism' was fabricated in the 2nd Century A.D., a consolidation of the dominant faction of the Pharisee sect, and an even less popular cult. The racial purity rubbish from the times of Ezra went into high gear under 'Orthodox' Judaism, and it had almost nothing in common with the real Torah and Moses, outside of some lip service.

And as usual, politicians rarely practice what they preached, and it's no different with Cicero. Lots of pithy one liners, though.

Joe Biden and the entire Democrat Party
That's where you lose me, Not every registered Democrat Always vote for just one party,
or think only what one person tells them is the total truth.
WHEN IN FACT your daily complaints show that most have minds of there own.
From party line, to extreme,. most don't idolize any single human, or their plans.
 
You succinctly dissembled the Democrat Party and their Deep State handlers,,,be careful. If you posted Cicero in China, you would be arrested for trying to de-program the brain dead.
 
when people talk about "The Jews", what they really mean is a SMALL CLICHE of Zionists who dont give a rats ass about the common working jew arab ( yes they are arabs).
