More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment match the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
People do not understand what a great revenue economy is.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Probability is the very guide of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.
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
Wisdom is the only thing which can relieve us from the sway of the passions and the fear of danger, and which can teach us to bear the injuries of fortune itself with moderation, and which shows us all the ways which lead to tranquility and peace.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Pardon is granted to necessity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.

Virtue is its own reward.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long. [Lat., Mature fieri senem, si diu velis esses senex.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Study carefully, the character of the one you recommend, lest their misconduct bring you shame.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The proof of a well-trained mind is that it rejoices in which is good and grieves at the opposite.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I criticize by creation - not by finding fault.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
