Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
By Hercules! I prefer to err with Plato, whom I know how much you value, than to be right in the company of such men.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make a mistake only a fool keeps making the same one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Each part of life has its own pleasures. Each has its own abundant harvest, to be garnered in season. We may grow old in body, but we need never grow old in mind and spirit. No one is as old as to think he or she cannot live one more year.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hmm... That's like telling you about the cold of space, or terror of midnight. Sithis is all those things. He is... the Void.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though liberty is established by law, we must be vigilant, for liberty to enslave us is always present under that very liberty. Our Constitution speaks of the general welfare of the people. Under that phrase all sorts of excesses can be employed by lusting tyrants to make us bondsmen.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in fact a true law namely right reason, which is in accordance with nature, applies to all men and is unchangeable and eternal. ... It will not lay down one rule at Rome and another at Athens, nor will it be one rule today and another tomorrow. But there will be one law eternal and unchangeable binding all times and upon all peoples.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Calamus fortior gladio.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Jews belong to a dark and repulsive force. One knows how numerous this clique is, how they stick together and what power they exercise through their unions. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers.
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 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
Action is the language of the body and should harmonize with the spirit within.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is becoming is honest, and whatever is honest must always be becoming.
