Quotation: Cicero on Children

Follow me on:

Faithful Reader Malcolm Davidson sends along this quotation to add to our pile:

Bust of Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC).

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.

Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC). 55 BC. De Oratore, Section 120

I've more or less lost count, but I believe this is Quotation #220.
