Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is graceful is virtuous, and whatever is virtuous is graceful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We forget our pleasures, we remember our sufferings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a disturbed mind, as in a body in the same state, health can not exist.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If a man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The gardener plants trees, not one berry of which he will ever see: and shall not a public man plant laws, institutions, government, in short, under the same conditions?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
