More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wisdom is the only thing which can relieve us from the sway of the passions and the fear of danger, and which can teach us to bear the injuries of fortune itself with moderation, and which shows us all the ways which lead to tranquility and peace.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Neither can embellishments of language be found without arrangement and expression of thoughts, nor can thoughts be made to shine without the light of language.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body. [Lat., Oculi, tanquam, speculatores, altissimum locum obtinent.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.

Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable longing to see the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There are two ways to resolve conflicts, through violence or through negotiation. Violence is for wild beasts, negotiation is for human beings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are eloquent who can speak low things acutely, and of great things with dignity, and of moderate things with temper.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A letter does not blush.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I am mistaken in my opinion that the human soul is immortal, I willingly err nor would I have this pleasant error extorted from me and if, as some minute philosophers suppose, death should deprive me of my being, I need not fear the raillery of those pretended philosophers when they are no more.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
How great an evil do you see that may have been announced by you against the Republic? - Videtis quantum scelus contra rem publicam vobis nuntiatum sit?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
