As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Philosophy is true mother of the arts [of science].
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A letter does not blush.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All men have a feeling, that they would rather you told them a civil lie than give them a point blank refusal.... If you make a promise, the thing is still uncertain, depends on a future day, and concerns but few people but if you refuse you alienate people to a certainty and at once, and many people too.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Time is the herald of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We should be as careful of our words as of our actions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For it is commonly said: accomplished labours are pleasant.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ye immortal gods! where in the world are we?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you wish to persuade me, you must think my thoughts, feel my feelings, and speak my words.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The law is silent during war. [Lat., Silent leges inter arma.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though liberty is established by law, we must be vigilant, for liberty to enslave us is always present under that very liberty. Our Constitution speaks of the general welfare of the people. Under that phrase all sorts of excesses can be employed by lusting tyrants to make us bondsmen.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Generosity should never exceed ability.
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
In our amusements a certain limit is to be placed that we may not devote ourselves to a life of pleasure and thence fall into immorality.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everyone cleaves to the doctrine he has happened upon, as to a rock against which he has been thrown by tempest.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory takes root, and even spreads all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground nor can any counterfeit last long.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man is liable to err, only a fool persists in error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
