Marcus Tullius Cicero
They who dare to ask anything of a friend, by their very request seem to imply that they would do anything for the sake of that friend.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I am mistaken in my opinion that the human soul is immortal, I willingly err nor would I have this pleasant error extorted from me and if, as some minute philosophers suppose, death should deprive me of my being, I need not fear the raillery of those pretended philosophers when they are no more.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not a moment without some duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
