Marcus Tullius Cicero
Freedom is a man's natural power of doing what he pleases, so far as he is not prevented by force or law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Diseases of the soul are more dangerous and more numerous than those of the body.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Who can love the man he fears. or by who he thinks he is himself feared?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every animal loves itself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The existence of virtue depends entirely upon its use.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wisdom often exists under a shabby coat.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You must therefore love me, myself, and not my circumstances, if we are to be real friends.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
