"I prefer silent prudence to loquacious folly...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Little by little old age renders the body less powerful.”

“Whatever befalls in accordance with nature should be accounted good.”

“It is not enough to acquire wisdom, it is necessary to employ it.”

“Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise.”

“One must have deeper motives and judge everything accordingly, but go on talking like an ordinary person.”

“I prefer silent prudence to loquacious folly.[Lat., Malo indisertam prudentiam, quam loquacem stultitiam.]”

“All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The key to turning dreams into reality is action. People who have great ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their dreams and ideas are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you.”

“So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind; Sometimes breathing is hard, sometimes it comes easily; Sometimes there is strength and sometimes weakness; Sometimes one is up and sometimes down. Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency.”

“Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own: [I hate a sage who is not wise for himself]”
