Marcus Tullius Cicero

They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No wise man has called a change of opinion in constancy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To teach is a necessity, to please is a sweetness, to persuade is a victory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Promises are not to be kept, if the keeping of them is to prove harmful to those to whom you have made them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief, The doves of Noah ne'er had roost Nor found an olive-leaf.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Physicians, when the cause of disease is discovered, consider that the cure is discovered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They who dare to ask anything of a friend, by their very request seem to imply that they would do anything for the sake of that friend.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
