More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
We cannot employ the mind to advantage when we are filled with excessive food and drink.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ill gotten gains will be ill spent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not the place that maketh the person, but the person that maketh the place honorable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He removes the greatest ornament of friendship who takes away from it respect.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquities.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defence can actually be just.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All places are filled with fools. [Lat., Stultorum plenea sunt omnia.]
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
Calamus fortior gladio.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For there is but one essential justice which cements society, and one law which establishes this justice. This law is right reason, which is the true rule of all commandments and prohibitions. Whoever neglects this law, whether written or unwritten, is necessarily unjust and wicked.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let a man practise the profession he best knows. [Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.]
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
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice is the crowning glory of the virtues.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of evils one should choose the least. [Lat., Ex malis eligere minima oportere.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole glory of virtue resides in activity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
