“Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.”

Roman statesman and orator of the late Republican era Cicero is best known for his influential speeches and letters, which shaped Roman political thought and rhetoric. His works on philosophy, law, and governance remain foundational in Western political theory.
