An agreement of rash men (a conspiracy).
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Study carefully, the character of the one you recommend, lest their misconduct bring you shame.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue. [Lat., Nam quae voluptate, quasi mercede aliqua, ad officium impellitur, ea non est virtus sed fallax imitatio simulatioque virtutis.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who obeys with modesty appears worthy of being some day a commander.
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

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He is an eloquent man who can treat humble subjects with delicacy, lofty things impressively, and moderate things temperately.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I cannot find a faithful message-bearer, he wrote to his friend, the scholar Atticus. How few are they who are able to carry a rather weighty letter without lightening it by reading.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Jews belong to a dark and repulsive force. One knows how numerous this clique is, how they stick together and what power they exercise through their unions. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is the power of habit. It teaches us to bear fatigue and to despise wounds and pain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
