Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The dutifulness of children is the foundation of all virtues.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
