More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory strikes root, and even extends itself all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can any feigned thing be lasting.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sound conviction should influence us rather than public opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Things perfected by nature are better than those finished by art.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If some lose their whole fortunes, they will drag many more down with them . . . believe me that the whole system of credit and finance which is carried on here at Rome in the Forum, is inextricably bound up with the revenues of the Asiatic province. If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We must be ever on the search for some persons whom we shall love and who will love us in return. If good will and affection are taken away, every joy is taken from life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To teach is a necessity, to please is a sweetness, to persuade is a victory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everything is alive... Everything is interconnected.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Slowly and imperceptibly old age comes creeping on.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I do not understand what the man who is happy wants in order to be happier.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing quite new is perfect.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The beginnings of all things are small.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is difficult to remember all, and ungracious to omit any.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is a difference between justice and consideration in one's relations to one's fellow men. It is the function of justice not to do wrong to one's fellow men of considerateness, not to wound their feelings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Learning maketh young men temperate, is the comfort of old age, standing for wealth with poverty, and serving as an ornament to riches.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
But as to the affection which anyone may have for us, it is the first demand of duty that we do most for him who loves us most but we should measure affection, not like youngsters, by the ardour of its passion, but rather by its strength and constancy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
