"The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil." ― Marcus Tullius Cicero Topic(s): History Tags: function, wisdom More From Marcus Tullius Cicero "I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability." "Hatred is inveterate anger." "The good of the people is the greatest law." More In History "The Democrats co-opted the credit for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But if you go back and look at the history, a larger percentage of Republicans voted for that than did Democrats. But a Democrat president signed it, so they co-opted credit for having passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965."― Herman Cain "Jews have a special relationship to books, and the Haggadah has been translated more widely, and reprinted more often, than any other Jewish book. It is not a work of history or philosophy, not a prayer book, user’s manual, timeline, poem or palimpsest – and yet it is all these things."― Jonathan Safran Foer "I don’t like rap music at all. I don’t think it’s music. It’s just a beat and rapping."― Nina Simone
