[Many have today off to celebrate the 4th of July. Let's remember this sage
advice from thousands of years ago.]
“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt
should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and
controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest
Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on
public assistance.”
From ‘A Pillar of Iron’, Taylor Caldwell’s account of the life of Roman
Senator Cicero. Most of the “quotations” were simply paraphrase of speeches,
of course, but you get the thinking!
