Icons - Cicero Quotes and 'Rome'

[artyartie]

To be fair, I did do some studying tonight, but then I found a page of quotes from Cicero, after I was going through the book I got from Christmas from mayara13 and otterboy . Then I got just a little sidetracked. Well, maybe not a little. :) All icons totally gankable - I tried to pick quotes people might actually like - I have a feeling one or two sentiments will ring very true with everyone.

The friend one is an amazing quote. I'm floored by how true it is.

Oh my goodness... you were talking about the older Mr. Collins! O_O Well, that certainly rids me of some of my lingering confusion...

So much love for you Sam and Vala icon! M and I loved that scene. :)

Oh, Cicero has some wonderful sentiments on friendship - I will make sure to post more in nice, legible print.

*grins* I was watching the show and I was like - "He looks familiar! Oh, wait, it's Mr. Collins!" But David Bamber is truly wonderful in the role.

O Times, O Morals is always a favourite. ;D Though IMO the one about the books cannot be beaten.

Cicero is so quotable - I think he intended it! But that book quote, and "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need" is also lovely.

Prettiness! I think the Cicero icon you're currently using is the best. I also like the leaves, though. :)

Thank you! And I love the leaf brush - there's another one with different shaped leaves that I must use for something. :)

If you're a fan of Cicero, have you read the new Robert Harris book, Imperium? It's fantastic, and actually makes Cicero quite likable, which I would have previously sworn was impossible after surviving 10th grade Latin.

Ohhhh! I just read the synopsis on Amazon and I *must* read this novel! Thank you so very much for recommending it. :)
