More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what is there more hideous than avarice, more brutal than lust, more contemptible than cowardice, more base than stupidity and folly?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the stain and disgrace of the age to envy virtue, and to be anxious to crush the very flower of dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Reason is the mistress and queen of all things. [Lat., Domina omnium et regina ratio.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our generosity never should exceed our abilities.
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
It is a common saying that many pecks of salt must be eaten before the duties of friendship can be discharged.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to have knowledge of what happened before you were born is to be condemned to live as a child.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let war be so carried on that no other object may seem to be sought but the acquisition of peace. [Lat., Bellum autem ita suscipiatur, ut nihil aliud, nisi pax, quaesita videatur.]
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
What is there that is illustrious that is not also attended by labor?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Quacks pretend to cure other men's disorders, but fail to find a remedy for their own.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hours pass and the days and the months and the years, and the past time never returns.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We should be as careful of our words as of our actions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
