More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
A careful physician . . . before he attempts to administer a remedy to his patient, must investigate not only the malady of the man he wishes to cure, but also his habits when in health, and his physical constitution.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ill gotten gains will be ill spent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Certain signs are the forerunners of certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Where is there dignity unless there is honesty?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no statement so absurd that no philosopher will make it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thus in the beginning the world was so made that certain signs come before certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Vicious habits are so odious and degrading that they transform the individual who practices them into an incarnate demon.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am of opinion that there is nothing so beautiful but that there is something still more beautiful, of which this is the mere image and expression,--a something which can neither be perceived by the eyes, the ears, nor any of the senses we comprehend it merely in the imagination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Leisure consists in all those virtuous activities by which a man grows morally, intellectually, and spiritually. It is that which makes a life worth living.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
O philosophy, you leader of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The judgment of posterity is truer, because it is free from envy and malevolence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In the very books in which philosophers bid us scorn fame, they inscribe their names.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Can you also, Lucullus, affirm that there is any power united with wisdom and prudence which has made, or, to use your own expression, manufactured man? What sort of a manufacture is that? Where is it exercised? when? why? how?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one has leave to sin.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let flattery, the handmaid of the vices, be far removed (from friendship). [Lat., Assentatio, vitiorum adjutrix, procul amoveatur.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
