This man is from a very long time ago. He was born on January 3rd, 106 B.C. He was from Rome (where most of the people were from around this time, just kidding). Cicero was a philosopher in his time. He also served in the military in his time and was a great soldier. Cicero is supposedly known to have died December 7th, 43 B.C.E. This is all possibly not true, because it seems nearly impossible to find information on someone who lived so long ago. But if you look on google this is what it tells you.
The quote I have from Marcus Tullius Cicero says, "The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends." To me it seems like it is saying that if your having good luck you'll be able to see which of your friends are reliable. To me that isn't something I truly look forward to. Yes, it is always nice to know which of your friends are true friends or not, but if you ever have to question it, then why be their friend? A true friend would always be there for you and would not do things to hurt you physically or mentally.
The word for today is: Laconic, which means brief in speech.
