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 generosity never should exceed our abilities.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Philosophy is true mother of the arts [of science].
Marcus Tullius Cicero
