More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Mental stains can not be removed by time, nor washed away by any waters. [Lat., Animi labes nec diuturnitate vanescere nec omnibus ullis elui potest.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let war be so carried on that no other object may seem to be sought but the acquisition of peace. [Lat., Bellum autem ita suscipiatur, ut nihil aliud, nisi pax, quaesita videatur.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Peace is so beneficial that the word itself is pleasant to hear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All the arts, which have a tendency to raise man in the scale of being, have a certain common band of union, and are connected, if I may be allowed to say so, by blood-relationship with one another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who acknowledges a kindness has it still, and he who has a grateful sense of it has requited it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let art, then, imitate nature, find what she desires, and follow as she directs. For in invention nature is never last, education never first rather the beginnings of things arise from natural talent, and ends are reached by discipline.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not the place that maketh the person, but the person that maketh the place honorable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is besides necessary that whoever is brave should be a man of great soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
From all sides there is equally a way to the lower world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After victory, you have more enemies.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? In heaven's name,Catiline, how long will you abuse ourpatience?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable longing to see the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This is our special duty, that if anyone specially needs our help, we should give him such help to the utmost of our power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do nothing twice over.
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
