More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Laws should be interpreted in a liberal sense so that their intention may be preserved.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within....for the traitor appears not to be a traitor...he rots the soul of a nation...he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man may make a mistake none but a fool will stick to it. Second thoughts are best as the proverb says. [Lat., Cujusvis hominis est errare nullius, nisi insipientis, in errore perseverae. Posteriores enim cogitationes (ut aiunt) sapientiores solent esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Endless money forms the sinews of war. [Lat., Nervi belli pecunia infinita.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation. [Lat., Ab interitu naturam abhorrere.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man's best support is a very dear friend.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If some lose their whole fortunes, they will drag many more down with them . . . believe me that the whole system of credit and finance which is carried on here at Rome in the Forum, is inextricably bound up with the revenues of the Asiatic province. If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No poet or orator has ever existed who believed there was any better than himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue. [Lat., Nam quae voluptate, quasi mercede aliqua, ad officium impellitur, ea non est virtus sed fallax imitatio simulatioque virtutis.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us not go over the old ground but rather prepare for what is to come.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Summer lasts not for ever seasons succeed each other.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Prudence must not be expected from a man who is never sober. [Lat., Non est ab homine nunquam sobrio postulanda prudentia.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The false is nothing but an imitation of the true.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole of virtue consists in its practice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Since an intelligence common to us all makes things known to us and formulates them in our minds, honorable actions are ascribed by us to virtue, and dishonorable actions to vice and only a madman would conclude that these judgments are matters of opinion, and not fixed by nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hours pass and the days and the months and the years, and the past time never returns.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
