More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?
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
Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Aristoteles quidem ait: 'Omnes ingeniosos melancholicos esse.' Aristotle says that all men of genius are melancholy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which can be pointed out by your finger.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I have sworn with my tongue, but my mind is unsworn. [Lat., Juravi lingua, mentem injuratem gero.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All I can do is to urge on you to regard friendship as the greatest thing in the world for there is nothing which so fits in with our nature, or is so exactly what we want in prosperity or adversity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Honor is the reward of virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The wise man never loses his temper.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life is nothing without friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The wise man knows nothing if he cannot benefit from his wisdom. Wisdom is not only to be acquired, but also to be utilized.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A bachelor's bed is the most pleasant.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No poet or orator has ever existed who believed there was any better than himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one could ever meet death for his country without the hope of immortality.
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
To-morrow will give some food for thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man is liable to err, only a fool persists in error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
