More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Always the same thing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To give and receive advice - the former with freedom, and yet without bitterness, the latter with patience and without irritation - is peculiarly appropriate to geniune friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The name of peace is sweet and the thing itself good, but between peace and slavery there is the greatest difference.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtue is increased by the smile of approval and the love of renown is the greatest incentive to honourable acts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We study history not to be clever in another time, but to be wise always.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.
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
To freemen, threats are impotent. [Lat., Nulla enim minantis auctoritas apud liberos est.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rashness attends youth, as prudence does old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To-morrow will give some food for thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Laws are inoperative in war
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one sees what is before his feet: we all gaze at the stars. [Lat., Quod est ante pedes nemo spectat: coeli scrutantur plagas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Summer lasts not for ever seasons succeed each other.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No sensible man (among the many things that have been written on this kind) ever imputed inconsistency to another for changing his mind. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam (multa autem de hoc genere scripta sunt) mutationem consili inconstantiam dixit esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
