About This Quote

Self-doubt imprisons those that never overcome it. This quote is a part of Cicero’s speech in the book “On Duties.” He was speaking to the people of Rome at that time because he did not have hope that his message would be heard. “Self-doubt imprisons those that never overcome it,” he said. “There are too many of you who are slaves bowing before the tyranny of others, so you must get rid of this tyrant within yourselves, or you will always remain slaves.”
