Cicero's Life Laws to Learn in Youth and Avoid Regrets in Old Age

Cicero was a Roman statesman and philosopher who tried to uphold optimate principles during the political crises that led to the establishment of the Roman Empire. Cicero is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists. Cicero's influence on the Latin language was immense. He wrote more than three-quarters of extant Latin literature that is known to have existed in his lifetime, and it has been said that subsequent prose was either a reaction against or a return to his style, not only in Latin but in European languages up to the 19th century.
