Book excerpt: "Treatises on Friendship and Old Age" by Marcus Tullius Cicero is a timeless exploration of two fundamental aspects of the human experience: friendship and aging. In this classic work, Cicero, one of ancient Rome's greatest thinkers and orators, reflects on the nature of true friendship and offers wisdom on how to navigate the challenges of growing older with grace and dignity. In the first treatise on friendship, Cicero delves into the essence of genuine companionship, extolling its virtues and illustrating its importance in a fulfilling life. Drawing upon examples from his own experiences and the lives of historical figures, Cicero outlines the qualities of a true friend and offers practical advice on cultivating and maintaining meaningful relationships. In the second treatise on old age, Cicero explores the inevitable process of aging and confronts the fears and anxieties associated with growing older. Rather than lamenting the passage of time, Cicero celebrates the wisdom and perspective that come with age, offering reassurance and guidance to those facing the challenges of later life. Throughout both treatises, Cicero's prose is marked by its clarity, elegance, and depth of insight. His reflections on friendship and old age transcend the boundaries of time and culture, speaking to the universal human experience with empathy and understanding. "Treatises on Friendship and Old Age" stands as a testament to Cicero's enduring legacy as a philosopher and moralist. His timeless wisdom continues to inspire readers today, offering guidance on how to cultivate meaningful relationships, confront the passage of time with courage and resilience, and embrace the fullness of life's journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following work is a collection of essays by Cicero, regarding friendship and old age. The Treatise on Friendship is written as a dialogue between prominent figures of the Middle Roman Republic and is set after the death of the younger Scipio Africanus (otherwise known as Scipio Aemilianus, Scipio Africanus Minor or Scipio the Younger). The interlocutors of the dialogue chosen by Cicero are Gaius Laelius, a close friend of the late statesman, and Laelius's two sons-in-law, Gaius Fannius, and Quintus Mucius Scaevola. As for The Treatise of Old Age, it was written by Cicero in his sixty-third year, and is addressed to his friend Atticus. Cicero represents the discourse as delivered by the elder Cato (in his eighty-fourth year) on occasion of young Scipio and Laelius expressing their admiration at the wonderful ease with which he still bore the load of life. Cicero acknowledges that the sentiments put into the mouth of Cato are really Cicero's own. His purpose is to show that old age is not only tolerable, but comfortable by internal resources of happiness.

Bosanquet Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name "Harvard Classics," this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard University's longest-serving president. Also known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it represented Eliot's belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf. Volume IX features: [ three works by Roman philosopher MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO (106 Bi43 Be: the dialogue On Friendship, a timeless consideration of that happy state; the essay On Old Age, his reflections on aging and death; and his Letters, including his thoughts on matters both personal and political [ the Letters of Roman lawyer PLINY THE YOUNGER (61-c. 112), which remain some of the most valuable firsthand documents we have of the period, particularly since he moved in politically important circles; the letters include his eyewitness account of the disastrous eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To his contemporaries Cicero was primarily the great forensic and political orator of his time, and the fifty-eight speeches which have come down to us bear testimony to the skill, wit, eloquence, and passion which gave him his pre-eminence. But these speeches of necessity deal with the minute details of the occasions which called them forth, and so require for their appreciation a full knowledge of the history, political and personal, of the time. The letters, on the other hand, are less elaborate both in style and in the handling of current events, while they serve to reveal his personality, and to throw light upon Roman life in the last days of the Republic in an extremely vivid fashion. Cicero as a man, in spite of his self-importance, the vacillation of his political conduct in desperate crises, and the whining despondency of his times of adversity, stands out as at bottom a patriotic Roman of substantial honesty, who gave his life to check the inevitable fall of the commonwealth to which he was devoted. The evils which were undermining the Republic bear so many striking resemblances to those which threaten the civic and national life of America to-day that the interest of the period is by no means merely historical. As a philosopher, Cicero's most important function was to make his countrymen familiar with the main schools of Greek thought. Much of this writing is thus of secondary interest to us in comparison with his originals, but in the fields of religious theory and of the application of philosophy to life he made important first-hand contributions. From these works have been selected the two treatises, on Old Age and on Friendship, which have proved of most permanent and widespread interest to posterity, and which give a clear impression of the way in which a high-minded Roman thought about some of the main problems of human life
