More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Each part of life has its own pleasures. Each has its own abundant harvest, to be garnered in season. We may grow old in body, but we need never grow old in mind and spirit. No one is as old as to think he or she cannot live one more year.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is foolish to pluck out one's hair for sorrow, as if grief could be assuaged by baldness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no duty more indispensible than that of returning a kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
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
What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The absolute good is not a matter of opinion but of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To freemen, threats are impotent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
We must not say that every mistake is a foolish one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is the power, great is the authority of a senate that is unanimous in its opinions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are eloquent who can speak low things acutely, and of great things with dignity, and of moderate things with temper.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Physicians, when the cause of disease is discovered, consider that the cure is discovered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A community is like the ones who govern it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You might as well take the sun out of the sky as friendship from life: for the immortal gods have given us nothing better or more delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
