Cicero (Marcus Tullius, 106–43 BCE), Roman lawyer, orator, politician and philosopher, of whom we know more than of any other Roman, lived through the stirring era which saw the rise, dictatorship, and death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In his political speeches especially and in his correspondence we see the excitement, tension and intrigue of politics and the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches, delivered before the Roman people or the Senate if they were political, before jurors if judicial, 58 survive (a few of them incompletely). In the fourteenth century Petrarch and other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero and nearly 100 by others to him. These afford a revelation of the man all the more striking because most were not written for publication. Six rhetorical works survive and another in fragments. Philosophical works include seven extant major compositions and a number of others; and some lost. There is also poetry, some original, some as translations from the Greek.

評分剩下的文章還沒讀完,我卻把論友誼讀瞭三遍。我讀的時候也做瞭摘錄,真的學到瞭好多東西。其實,西塞羅最對也最影響我的觀點就是最後一節的那個標題:美德是友誼的基礎。的確,沒有美德的友誼是很難進行的,換句話說,友誼是好人和好人之間的事情。文章中對友誼和人性的分析也...
評分昨天和一個朋友見麵,他說過瞭這麼多年,我的外錶沒有太大變化。聽得我心花怒放,盡管知道也許是恭維或客套,我還是寜可信其有。許多人的心態都是這樣吧!被誇奬顯得年輕,心情就會好許多。 記得原來在機關的時候,常常聽到某位美人黯然地說,“我老瞭”。我還安慰說,“沒有...
