Marcus Tullius Cicero
Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men in no way approach so nearly to the gods as in doing good to men. [Lat., Homines ad deos nulla re propius accedunt, quam salutem hominibus dando.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Physicians, when the cause of disease is discovered, consider that the cure is discovered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For out of such an ungoverned populace one is usually chosen as a leader, someone bold and unscrupulous who curries favor with the people by giving them other men's property. To such a man the protection of public office is given, and continually renewed. He emerges as a tyrant over the very people who raised him to power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one could ever meet death for his country without the hope of immortality.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let flattery, the handmaid of the vices, be far removed (from friendship). [Lat., Assentatio, vitiorum adjutrix, procul amoveatur.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men do not realize how great an income thrift is.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is sufficient reward in the mere consciousness of a good action.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I know not any season of life that is past more agreeably than virtuous old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In the very books in which philosophers bid us scorn fame, they inscribe their names.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When money is unreasonably coveted, it is a disease of the mind which is called avarice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Inability to tell good from evil is the greatest worry of man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a common saying that many pecks of salt must be eaten before the duties of friendship can be discharged.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death approaches, which is always impending like the stone over Tantalus: then comes superstition with which he who is imbued can never have peace of mind.
