More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
An army abroad is of little use unless there are prudent counsels at home. [Lat., Parvi enim sunt foris arma, nisi est consilium domi.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rashness attends youth, as prudence does old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquities.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we are forced, at every hour, to watch or listen to horrible events, this constant stream of ghastly impressions will deprive even the most delicate among us of all respect for humanity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Are we going to be so feebleminded then as to aver that such a thing happened by the personal intervention of Venus rather than by pure luck?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Quacks pretend to cure other men's disorders, but fail to find a remedy for their own.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The enemy is within the gates it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men, in whatever anxiety they may be, if they are men, sometimes indulge in relaxation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let art, then, imitate nature, find what she desires, and follow as she directs. For in invention nature is never last, education never first rather the beginnings of things arise from natural talent, and ends are reached by discipline.
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
Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
