More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
I do not wish to die: but I care not if I were dead. [Lat., Emori nolo: sed me esse mortuum nihil aestimo.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man was ever great without divine inspiration. [Lat., Nemo vir magnus aliquo afflatu divino unquam fuit.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.
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
They are eloquent who can speak low things acutely, and of great things with dignity, and of moderate things with temper.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What an ugly beast the ape, and how like us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Frivolity is inborn, conceit acquired by education.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For hardly any man dances when sober, unless he is insane. Nor does he dance while alone, nor at a respectable and moderate party. Dancing is the final phase of a wild party with fancy decorations and a multitude of delights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
They condemn what they do not understand.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole glory of virtue resides in activity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole of virtue consists in its practice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Before beginning, prepare carefully.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no quality I would rather have, and be thought to have, than gratitude. For it is not only the greatest virtue, but is the mother of all the rest.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
