cicero

Concerning rhetoric, classical resources are vast, ranging from works by Aristotle to Cicero to many others.

The Latin word patria is feminine, and Cicero and others personified Roma as a woman.

I look back to Plato, Aristotle, and Cicero far more than I do Locke.

Nitpick: Cicero was murdered on 7 December 43 BC.

I would not doubt Cicero would have said that regarding Eleusian Mysteries.

I haven't found any evidence that Mark Twain or Cicero said it.

Al Capone once walked into City Hall and pushed the Mayor of Cicero (which was a former independent city in the Chicago area) down the stairs and nobody touched him.

Of whom I suppose I find Ovid, Catullus, Livy, Cicero and Virgil enjoyable to read, others would disagree or choose different writers I am sure.

It seems that Cicero would have been between a rock and a hard place, on the one hand advocating republican ideals, and on the other appearing loyal to Caesar in the midst of imperial ambitions.

In terms of philosophers alone, I suppose only Cicero or Seneca would spring to mind, and Seneca in particular followed closely in Epicurus' footsteps (I think, it's been a long long time, please correct if wrong).

As Cicero pointed out (in "De Republica"), these things would prevent humans from living together in cities.

The more laws, the less justice" Marcus Tullius Cicero "The more laws that governments pass, the less individual freedom there is.

"Remember," says Cicero to Marcellus in exile, "wherever you are, you are equally within of the power of conqueror.".

It was idiomatic to occasionally use the first person plural to refer to oneself (you can see this in Cicero's letters), but it had nothing to do with formality or some sort of "royal we."

Not to be too critical, but that quote is traditionally ascribed to Cicero, not Michelangelo.

Once you get past the innermost (ie: oldest) suburbs (Evanston, Park Ridge, Oak Park, Cicero) you're in Suburban hell.

Reminds me of a quote often attributed to Cicero, Pascal, Twain etc.
