Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The higher we are placed, the more humbly we should walk.
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
I believe that no characteristic is so distinctively human as the sense of indebtedness we feel, not necessarily for a favor received, but even for the slightest evidence of kindness; and there is nothing so boorish, savage, inhuman as to appear to be overwhelmed by a favor, let alone unworthy of it.
What is permissible is not always honorable.
Wise men are instructed by reason; men of less understanding, by experience; the most ignorant, by necessity; the beasts, by nature.
There is nothing so absurd but some philosopher has said it.
