More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to have knowledge of what happened before you were born is to be condemned to live as a child.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When trying a case [the famous judge] L. Cassius never failed to inquire Who gained by it? Man's character is such that no one undertakes crimes without hope of gain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing troubles you for which you do not yearn.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Leisure with dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
But as to the affection which anyone may have for us, it is the first demand of duty that we do most for him who loves us most but we should measure affection, not like youngsters, by the ardour of its passion, but rather by its strength and constancy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man should so act as to make a gain out of the ignorance of another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I follow nature as the surest guide, and resign myself with implicit obedience to her sacred ordinances.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no thing which God cannot accomplish.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
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
Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I will adhere to the counsels of good men, although misfortune and death should be the consequence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
