Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
When time and need require, we should resist with all our might, and prefer death to slavery and disgrace.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We study history not to be clever in another time, but to be wise always.
