Let the soldier yield to the civilian.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They condemn what they do not understand.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one can speak well, unless he thoroughly understands his subject.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Who does not know history's first law to be that an author must not dare to tell anything but the truth? And its second that he must make bold to tell the whole truth? That there must be no suggestion of partiality anywhere in his writings? Nor of malice?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What the object of senile avarice may be I cannot conceive. For can there be anything more absurd than to seek more journey money, the less there remains of the journey?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life without learning is death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wars, therefore, are to be undertaken for this end, that we may live in peace, without being injured but when we obtain the victory, we must preserve those enemies who behaved without cruelty or inhumanity during the war.
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
It was fear that was then making you a good citizen, which is never a lasting teacher of duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In everything, without doubt, truth has the advantage over imitation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The gardener plants trees, not one berry of which he will ever see: and shall not a public man plant laws, institutions, government, in short, under the same conditions?
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
The whole glory of virtue resides in activity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age by nature is rather talkative.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Even the ablest pilots are willing to receive advice from passengers in tempestuous weather.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I have never yet known a poet who did not think himself super-excellent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
