They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
In all great arts, as in trees, it is the height that charms us we care nothing for the roots or trunks, yet it could not be without the aid of these.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquities.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This is a proof of a well-trained mind, to rejoice in what is good and to grieve at the opposite.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is our duty, my young friends, to resist old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature herself makes the wise man rich.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hmm... That's like telling you about the cold of space, or terror of midnight. Sithis is all those things. He is... the Void.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
