About this Quote

This quote by Cicero speaks to the idea that achievement is not something that can be attained without some type of magnificent intervention. He is recommending that achievement is something that is bestowed upon us by a greater power, and that it is not something that can be attained with our very own initiatives alone. This idea is echoed in numerous religious and spiritual traditions, which highlight the value of magnificent guidance in accomplishing success. It is likewise a suggestion that we need to not take our successes for provided, however rather acknowledge that they are presents from a higher power. By recognizing this, we can be much more humble and also appreciative for the true blessings we have actually been offered. Inevitably, this quote acts as a pointer that achievement is something that is past our control, which we need to be thankful for the magnificent motivation that has actually been presented upon us.
