Cicero on philosophy

A room without books is like a body without a soul.

In the very books in which philosophers bid us scorn fame, they inscribe their names.

Wise men are instructed by reason; men of less understanding, by experience; the most ignorant, by necessity; the beasts, by nature.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Socrates470–399 BCThe Apology of Socrates (399 BC)

Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
