More quotes by 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
Nothing is too absurd to be said by some of the philosophers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Favours out of place I regard as positive injuries.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
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
It is virtue, virtue, which both creates and preserves friendship. On it depends harmony of interest, permanence, fidelity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To give and receive advice - the former with freedom, and yet without bitterness, the latter with patience and without irritation - is peculiarly appropriate to geniune friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let flattery, the handmaid of the vices, be far removed (from friendship). [Lat., Assentatio, vitiorum adjutrix, procul amoveatur.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You may never be less alone than when you are alone.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in superstition a senseless fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
O wretched man, wretched not just because of what you are, but also because you do not know how wretched you are!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history.
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.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This excessive licence, which the anarchists think is the only true freedom, provides the stock, as it were, from which a tyrant grows.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A perverse temper and fretful disposition will make any state of life whatsoever unhappy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
