Tusculan Disputations Quotes

“There is also a tradition about Socrates. He liked walking, it is recorded, until a late hour of the evening, and when someone asked him why he did this he said he was trying to work up an appetite for his dinner.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero, Tusculan Disputations

“Fieri autem potest ut recte quis sentiat et id, quod sentit, polite eloqui non possit; sed mandare quemquam litteris cogitationes suas, qui eas nec disponere nec illustrare possit nec delectatione aliqua adlicere lectorem, hominis est intemperanter abutentis et otio et litteris.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero, Tusculan Disputations

“Aut igitur negemus quidquam ratione confici, cum contra nihil sine ratione recte fieri possit aut, cum philosophia ex rationum collatione constet, ab ea, si et boni et beati esse volumus, omnia adjumenta ex auxilia petamus bene beateque vivendi”
― Cicero, Tusculan Disputations
