More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For every man's nature is concealed with many folds of disguise, and covered as it were with various veils. His brows, his eyes, and very often his countenance, are deceitful, and his speech is most commonly a lie.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You might as well take the sun out of the sky as friendship from life: for the immortal gods have given us nothing better or more delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Before beginning, prepare carefully.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what people have always sought is equality before the law. For rights that were not open to all alike would be no rights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If some lose their whole fortunes, they will drag many more down with them . . . believe me that the whole system of credit and finance which is carried on here at Rome in the Forum, is inextricably bound up with the revenues of the Asiatic province. If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Morals today are corrupted by our worship of riches.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though liberty is established by law, we must be vigilant, for liberty to enslave us is always present under that very liberty. Our Constitution speaks of the general welfare of the people. Under that phrase all sorts of excesses can be employed by lusting tyrants to make us bondsmen.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. [Lat., Gratus animus est una virtus non solum maxima, sed etiam mater virtutum onmium reliquarum.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man should so act as to make a gain out of the ignorance of another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fortune is not only blind herself, but blinds the people she has embraced.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men resemble the gods in nothing so much as in doing good to their fellow creatures.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
