More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Philosophy is true mother of the arts [of science].
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of evils one should choose the least. [Lat., Ex malis eligere minima oportere.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no statement so absurd that no philosopher will make it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For hardly any man dances when sober, unless he is insane. Nor does he dance while alone, nor at a respectable and moderate party. Dancing is the final phase of a wild party with fancy decorations and a multitude of delights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what people have always sought is equality before the law. For rights that were not open to all alike would be no rights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When money is unreasonably coveted, it is a disease of the mind which is called avarice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To reduce man to the duties of his own city, and to disengage him from duties to the members of other cities, is to break the universal society of the human race.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am pleased to be praised by a man so praised as you, father. [Words used by Hector.] [Lat., Laetus sum Laudari me abs te, pater, laudato viro.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A liar is not believed even though he tell the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A wise man does nothing by constraint.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what is there more hideous than avarice, more brutal than lust, more contemptible than cowardice, more base than stupidity and folly?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a promise, what you thought, and not what you said, is always to be considered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silent enim leges inter arma (Laws are silent in times of war).
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty consists in the power of doing that which is permitted by the law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The avarice of the old: it's absurd to increase one's luggage as one nears the journey's end.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
