More quotes by 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
The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.
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
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Certain signs are the forerunners of certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We must not say that every mistake is a foolish one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men resemble the gods in nothing so much as in doing good to their fellow creatures.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fortune, not wisdom, rules lives.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we are forced, at every hour, to watch or listen to horrible events, this constant stream of ghastly impressions will deprive even the most delicate among us of all respect for humanity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a promise, what you thought, and not what you said, is always to be considered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in fact a true law namely right reason, which is in accordance with nature, applies to all men and is unchangeable and eternal. ... It will not lay down one rule at Rome and another at Athens, nor will it be one rule today and another tomorrow. But there will be one law eternal and unchangeable binding all times and upon all peoples.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The first duty of man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A s laws multiply, injustice increases.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All men have a feeling, that they would rather you told them a civil lie than give them a point blank refusal.... If you make a promise, the thing is still uncertain, depends on a future day, and concerns but few people but if you refuse you alienate people to a certainty and at once, and many people too.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The injuries that befall us unexpectedly are less severe than those which are deliberately anticipated.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is the power, great is the authority of a senate that is unanimous in its opinions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is nothing else than entire fellow feeling as to all things human and divine with mutual good-will and affection and I doubt whether anything better than this, wisdom alone excepted, has been given to man.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There has never been a poet or orator who thought another better than himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
