Philosophy Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We must not only obtain Wisdom: we must enjoy her.”

“While there's life, there's hope.”

“No power on earth, if it labours beneath the burden of fear, can possibly be strong enough to survive.”

“I criticize by creation, not by finding fault.”

“What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.”

“It's the truth, even if it didn't happen...”

“In this lifetime”

“Death plucks my ear and says, 'Live—I am coming.”

“In the pragmatist, streetwise climate of advanced postmodern capitalism, with its scepticism of big pictures and grand narratives, its hard-nosed disenchantment with the metaphysical, 'life' is one among a whole series of discredited totalities. We are invited to think small rather than big – ironically, at just the point when some of those out to destroy Western civilization are doing exactly the opposite. In the conflict between Western capitalism and radical Islam, a paucity of belief squares up to an excess of it. The West finds itself faced with a full-blooded metaphysical onslaught at just the historical point that it has, so to speak, philosophically disarmed. As far as belief goes, postmodernism prefers to travel light: it has beliefs, to be sure, but it does not have faith.”

“Faith in God is optional, but faith in the self – in the spirit within, is imperative.”
