Cicero: “To be mistaken, on the other hand, to miss the truth, to fall into error, to be led astray--that is as improper as to be…”

But had it not been the case that souls were immortal, it would not have been the souls of all the best men that made the greatest efforts after an immortality of fame.

But my soul, I know not how, refusing to be kept down, ever fixed its eyes upon future ages, as though from a conviction that it would begin to live only when it had left the body.

For nature has given us a place of entertainment, not of residence.

For nature puts a limit to living as to everything else.
