Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another's heart.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
