More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Summer lasts not for ever seasons succeed each other.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory takes root, and even spreads all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground nor can any counterfeit last long.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let flattery, the handmaid of the vices, be far removed (from friendship). [Lat., Assentatio, vitiorum adjutrix, procul amoveatur.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.

The hours pass and the days and the months and the years, and the past time never returns.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body. [Lat., Oculi, tanquam, speculatores, altissimum locum obtinent.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Persistence in a single view has never been regarded as a merit in political leaders.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Orators are most vehement when they have the weakest cause, as men get on horseback when they cannot walk.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
More laws, less justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows a weak mind not to bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All soils are not fertile.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dissimulation creeps gradually into the minds of men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He has no worse enemy than himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is sufficient reward in the mere consciousness of a good action.
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
Our generosity never should exceed our abilities.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
