More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
In the master there is a servant, in the servant a master.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no life without friendship
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age by nature is rather talkative.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
No sensible man (among the many things that have been written on this kind) ever imputed inconsistency to another for changing his mind. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam (multa autem de hoc genere scripta sunt) mutationem consili inconstantiam dixit esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
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
We forget our pleasures, we remember our sufferings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
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
