More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not a moment without some duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.

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
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If nature does not ratify law, then all the virtues may lose their sway.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defence can actually be just.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ability without honor is useless.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Vicious habits are so odious and degrading that they transform the individual who practices them into an incarnate demon.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
