More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing contributes to the entertainment of the reader more, than the change of times and the vicissitudes of fortune.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The judgment of posterity is truer, because it is free from envy and malevolence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
While all other things are uncertain, evanescent, and ephemeral, virtue alone is fixed with deep roots it can neither be overthrown by any violence or moved from its place.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has granted the use of life like a loan, without fixing any day for repayment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When trying a case [the famous judge] L. Cassius never failed to inquire Who gained by it? Man's character is such that no one undertakes crimes without hope of gain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one sees what is before his feet: we all gaze at the stars. [Lat., Quod est ante pedes nemo spectat: coeli scrutantur plagas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hours and days and months and years go by the past returns no more, and what is to be we cannot know but whatever the time gives us in which we live, we should therefore be content.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let every man practice the art that he knows best.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.
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
Hatred is settled anger.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is the only point in human affairs concerning the benefit of which all, with one voice, agree.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ignorance of impending evil is far better than a knowledge of its approach.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
