Cicero: “Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.”

But if I am wrong in thinking the human soul immortal, I am glad to be wrong; nor will I allow the mistake which gives me so much pleasure to be wrested from me as long as I live.

Don't you think that the soul which has the clearer and longer sight sees that it is starting for better things, while the soul whose vision is dimmer does not see it?

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

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