"Natural ability without education has more often attained glory
than education without natural ability." Cicero
than education without natural ability." Cicero
The Ancient Roman statesman and politician was considered the most effective orator of his day. His speeches in the Roman Senate and the writings that have survived are of such an eloquence they are considered models of Classical Latin.
When Rome fell under a power struggle between Pompey and Julius Caesar, Cicero was forced to choose sides, and he picked the loser (Pompey). Although Caesar, now dictator, pardoned Cicero, the orator relished in Caesar's assassination two years later.
