We are bound by the law, so that we may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Certain signs are the forerunners of certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so unpredictable as a throw of the dice, and yet every man who plays often will at some time or other make a Venus-cast: now and then he indeed will make it twice and even thrice in succession. Are we going to be so feebleminded then as to aver that such a thing happened by the personal intervention of Venus rather than by pure luck?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Laws are inoperative in war
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men, in whatever anxiety they may be, if they are men, sometimes indulge in relaxation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
People don't know the value of what they have until it is gone: Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.... Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude. Don't wait till freedom is gone before you enjoy, value, support, protect and make the most of it!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice is the crowning glory of the virtues.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fewer possess virtue, than those who wish us to believe that they possess it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is certain that memory contains not only philosophy, but all the arts and all that appertain to the use of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
I never heard of an old man forgetting where he had buried his money. Old people remember what interests them: the dates fixed for their lawsuits, and the names of their debtors and creditors.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Falsehoods border on truths.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The more laws, the less justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friends are proved by adversity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age.
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
Let every man practise the trade which he best understands.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thrift is a great revenue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What an ugly beast the ape, and how like us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The chief recommendation is modesty, then dutiful conduct toward parents, then affection for kindred.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
