Marcus Tullius Cicero

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.

It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.

Nature abhors annihilation.

Time destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature.

While there's life, there's hope.

Love is the attempt to form a friendship inspired by beauty.

Laws are silent in time of war.
