Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am of opinion that there is nothing so beautiful but that there is something still more beautiful, of which this is the mere image and expression,--a something which can neither be perceived by the eyes, the ears, nor any of the senses we comprehend it merely in the imagination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
