It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death approaches, which is always impending like the stone over Tantalus: then comes superstition with which he who is imbued can never have peace of mind.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
For surely to be wise is the most desirable thing in all the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Tomorrow will give us something to think about
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To freemen, threats are impotent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all the rewards of virtue, . . . the most splendid is fame, for it is fame alone that can offer us the memory of posterity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
