Cicero

Roman Philosopher & Statesman

An accomplished poet, philosopher, rhetorician, and humorist, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC-43 BC) was also the greatest forensic orator Rome ever produced.

We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life; for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Like associates with like.
Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.
I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know.
The eyes like sentinel occupy the highest place in the body.
Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.
What an ugly beast the ape, and how like us.
A letter does not blush.
One who sees the Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies and who understands that neither the soul nor the Supersoul is ever destroyed, actually sees.
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
