Image
What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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
Image
Any man may make a mistake none but a fool will stick to it. Second thoughts are best as the proverb says. [Lat., Cujusvis hominis est errare nullius, nisi insipientis, in errore perseverae. Posteriores enim cogitationes (ut aiunt) sapientiores solent esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
What fervent love of herself would Virtue excite if she could be seen!

Always the same thing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
That is probable which for the most part usually comes to pass, or which is a part of the ordinary beliefs of mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The aim of justice is to give everyone his due.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
It has seemed to be more necessary to have regard to the weight of words rather than to their number.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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
Image
Laws should be interpreted in a liberal sense so that their intention may be preserved.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Let the soldier yield to the civilian.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
I shall always consider the best guesser the best prophet.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Dissimulation creeps gradually into the minds of men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
No man in his senses will dance.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Justice is the crowning glory of the virtues.
