Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Nothing is so unpredictable as a throw of the dice, and yet every man who plays often will at some time or other make a Venus-cast: now and then he indeed will make it twice and even thrice in succession. Are we going to be so feebleminded then as to aver that such a thing happened by the personal intervention of Venus rather than by pure luck?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
What is impossible by the nature of things is not confirmed by any law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Ability without honor is useless.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
By Hercules! I prefer to err with Plato, whom I know how much you value, than to be right in the company of such men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Diseases of the soul are more dangerous and more numerous than those of the body.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
We can more easily avenge an injury than requite a kindness on this account, because there is less difficulty in getting the better of the wicked than in making one's self equal with the good.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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
Image
Let the punishment match the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Judge not by the number, but by the weight.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Ye immortal gods! where in the world are we?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
If a man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The man who commands efficiently must have obeyed others in the past, and the man who obeys dutifully is worthy of someday being a commander.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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
Image
What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
For what people have always sought is equality before the law. For rights that were not open to all alike would be no rights.
