NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER

Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman philosopher, lawyer, and statesman.  He is one of Rome's greatest orators, and his influence on the Latin language was stronger than any literary scholar during his lifetime.  Fifteen hundred years later, his philosophy was central in the thinking of the early Renaissance as well as the writings of 18th century Enlightenment.  More than 900 letters of Cicero survive.  He promoted, justice, truth, peaceful resolution to conflict, and respect for fellow human beings.

TEXT

O magnum vim veritatis quae contra hominum ingenia, 
calliditatem sollertiam contraque fictas omnium 
insidias facile se per se ipsa defendant!
Non nobis solun nati sumus.

How mighty is the power of truth, which by its own force defends itself against human cleverness, cunning, and deception,  and against all evil and treachery.
Truth will reign victorious. 
Not for ourselves were we born.
