"It shows a weak mind not to..." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“There is nothing so absurd that some philosopher has not already said it.”

“So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.”

“There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.[Lat., Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ac molliat.]”

“Prosperity demands of us more prudence and moderation than adversity.”

“One has to know the size of one's stomach.”

“More than one cigar at a time is excessive smoking.”

“He could even think about how fast he was thinking about things.”

“I rarely think in words at all.”

“Let us realise [that] we are the infinite power. Who put a limit to the power of mind? Let us realise we are all mind. Every drop has the whole of the ocean in it. That is the mind of man. The Indian mind reflects upon these [powers and potentialities] and wants to bring [them] all out. For himself he doesn't care what happens. It will take a great length of time [to reach perfection]. If it takes fifty thousand years, what of that!”
