Cicero: “I use as many terms as possible to brand this vice of light-minded, untrustworthy men, whose sole object in speaking is…”

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.

But I quit life as I would an inn, not as I would a home.

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

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.
