More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Virtue is its own reward.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil nor temperate, who considers pleasure the highest god. [Lat., Fortis vero, dolorem summum malum judicans aut temperans, voluptatem summum bonum statuens, esse certe nullo modo potest.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We are all excited by the love of praise, and the noblest are most influenced by glory.
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
So you see, old age is really not so bad. May you come to know the condition!
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The soul in sleep gives proof of its divine nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Anyone may fairly seek his own advantage, but no one has a right to do so at another's expense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Through doubt we arrive at the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so difficult to believe that oratory cannot make it acceptable, nothing so rough and uncultured as not to gain brilliance and refinement from eloquence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
An acute first-class brain is the finest asset anyone can have- and, if we want to be happy, it is an asset we must exploit to the uttermost.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
