"Nature has circumscribed the field of life..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“The name of peace is sweet, the thing itself is most salutary.”

“History is the teacher of life”

“Tall oaks grow from little acorns.Testing. This is the text of an item. Testing. Origin. Testing. Quoted. Testing. Source. The diligent farmer plants trees, of which he himself will never see the fruit.”

“To a father who loves his children victor has no charms. When the heart speaks, glory itself is an illusion.”

“We are all excited by the love of praise, and the noblest are most influenced by glory.”

“(Man,) the glory and the scandal of the universe.”

“So long as human beings stay human, death and life are the same thing.”

“While the sick man has life, there is hope.”

“The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit ~ not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic. Its throes will heave our exuviæ from their graves ... You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can; they will never excite me like the forms which this molten earth flows out into.”
