Marcus Tullius Cicero

Simplified Meaning:

People's well-being is the most important rule. Think of a leader of a country. Their main job should be making sure everyone has what they need to live a good life. When deciding on laws or actions, they should always think about how it will help or harm the people. For example, if a government is planning a new road, they shouldn't just think about how it's faster for cars. They should also think about how it impacts families living nearby and the environment. This advice means showing care and fairness, aiming for happiness and health for everyone when making decisions. If you run a small business, you could apply this idea by treating your employees well and ensuring customers are happy. When people are treated kindly and fairly, communities and workplaces become stronger and better for everyone involved.
