Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in superstition a senseless fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
On the subject of the nature of the gods, the first question is Do the gods exist or do the not? It is difficult you may say to deny that they exist. I would agree if we were arguing the matter in a public assembly, but in a private discussion of this kind, it is perfectly easy to do so.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man is his own worst enemy. [Lat., Nihil inimicius quam sibi ipse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
