More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one has lived a short life who has performed its duties with unblemished character.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No liberal man would impute a charge of unsteadiness to another for having changed his opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtue is its own reward.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has granted the use of life like a loan, without fixing any day for repayment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no castle so strong that it cannot be overthrown by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This seems to be advanced as the surest basis for our belief in the existence of gods, that there is no race so uncivilized, no one in the world so barbarous that his mind has no inkling of a belief in gods.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man's own manner and character is what most becomes him.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
On the subject of the nature of the gods, the first question is Do the gods exist or do the not? It is difficult you may say to deny that they exist. I would agree if we were arguing the matter in a public assembly, but in a private discussion of this kind, it is perfectly easy to do so.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing contributes to the entertainment of the reader more, than the change of times and the vicissitudes of fortune.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We all are imbued with the love of praise.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is generally said, Past labors are pleasant, Euripides says, for you all know the Greek verse, The recollection of past labors is pleasant. [Lat., Vulgo enim dicitur, Jucundi acti labores: nec male Euripides: concludam, si potero, Latine: Graecum enim hunc versum nostis omnes: Suavis laborum est proeteritorum memoria.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue. [Lat., Nam quae voluptate, quasi mercede aliqua, ad officium impellitur, ea non est virtus sed fallax imitatio simulatioque virtutis.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
