More quotes by 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

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I know that it is likely that as worship of the gods declines, faith between men and all human society will disappear, as well as that most excellent of all virtues, which is justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
So you see, old age is really not so bad. May you come to know the condition!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Peace is liberty in tranquillity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Honor is the reward of virtue.
