More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It has seemed to be more necessary to have regard to the weight of words rather than to their number.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I am mistaken in my opinion that the human soul is immortal, I willingly err nor would I have this pleasant error extorted from me and if, as some minute philosophers suppose, death should deprive me of my being, I need not fear the raillery of those pretended philosophers when they are no more.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We cannot employ the mind to advantage when we are filled with excessive food and drink.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Summer lasts not for ever seasons succeed each other.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I follow nature as the surest guide, and resign myself with implicit obedience to her sacred ordinances.
