Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is nothing else than entire fellow feeling as to all things human and divine with mutual good-will and affection and I doubt whether anything better than this, wisdom alone excepted, has been given to man.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who has a garden and a library wants for nothing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For surely to be wise is the most desirable thing in all the world.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Frivolity is inborn, conceit acquired by education.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what is there more hideous than avarice, more brutal than lust, more contemptible than cowardice, more base than stupidity and folly?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let art, then, imitate nature, find what she desires, and follow as she directs. For in invention nature is never last, education never first rather the beginnings of things arise from natural talent, and ends are reached by discipline.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I know that it is likely that as worship of the gods declines, faith between men and all human society will disappear, as well as that most excellent of all virtues, which is justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Who can love the man he fears. or by who he thinks he is himself feared?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being, for whom death is not only necessary, but frequently even desirable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
