Additional quotes by Cicero

A: I will now follow Reason whithersoever she shall lead me.

In all matters, before beginning, a diligent preparation should be made.

There is no doubt that a person who is called generous and open-handed has duty in mind, not gain. So likewise justice looks for no prize and no price; it is sought for itself, and is at once the cause and meaning of all the virtues.

But of all motives, none is better adapted to secure influence and hold it fast than love; nothing is more foreign to that end than fear. - Cicero
