More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history.
