Before beginning, prepare carefully.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
It is a great proof of talents to be able to recall the mind from the senses, and to separate thought from habit.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
I will adhere to the counsels of good men, although misfortune and death should be the consequence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Nothing is so unpredictable as a throw of the dice, and yet every man who plays often will at some time or other make a Venus-cast: now and then he indeed will make it twice and even thrice in succession. Are we going to be so feebleminded then as to aver that such a thing happened by the personal intervention of Venus rather than by pure luck?

Marcus Tullius Cicero

If I am mistaken in my opinion that the human soul is immortal, I willingly err nor would I have this pleasant error extorted from me and if, as some minute philosophers suppose, death should deprive me of my being, I need not fear the raillery of those pretended philosophers when they are no more.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
People don't know the value of what they have until it is gone: Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.... Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude. Don't wait till freedom is gone before you enjoy, value, support, protect and make the most of it!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
It is our duty, my young friends, to resist old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Rashness is the companion of youth, prudence of old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Quacks pretend to cure other men's disorders, but fail to find a remedy for their own.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
