Marcus Tullius Cicero
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our country is wherever we are well off. [Lat., Patria est, ubicunque est bene.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We study history not to be clever in another time, but to be wise always.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
