"The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living"

- Cicero

About this Quote

This quote by Cicero speaks to the concept that the tradition of those who have actually died lives on in the memories of those who stay. It suggests that the life of the deceased is not truly gone, however rather is kept alive in the minds of those who knew them. This concept is particularly pertinent in today's world, where innovation allows us to keep memories of our loved ones alive in a variety of methods. We can share stories, images, and videos of those who have actually passed away, permitting us to keep their memory alive. We can also honor their tradition by continuing to do the important things they loved, or by handling their causes and enthusiasms. In this way, the life of the dead is put in the memory of the living, and their legacy can survive on.
