More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man may make a mistake none but a fool will stick to it. Second thoughts are best as the proverb says. [Lat., Cujusvis hominis est errare nullius, nisi insipientis, in errore perseverae. Posteriores enim cogitationes (ut aiunt) sapientiores solent esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Politeness and an affable address are our best introduction.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What the object of senile avarice may be I cannot conceive. For can there be anything more absurd than to seek more journey money, the less there remains of the journey?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As I breathe, I hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Neither can embellishments of language be found without arrangement and expression of thoughts, nor can thoughts be made to shine without the light of language.
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
The house should derive dignity from the master, not the master from the house.
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
To wonder at nothing when it happens, to consider nothing impossible before it has come to pass.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is nothing else than entire fellow feeling as to all things human and divine with mutual good-will and affection and I doubt whether anything better than this, wisdom alone excepted, has been given to man.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is infinitely better than kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
So it may well be believed that when I found him taking a complete holiday, with a vast supply of books at command, he had the air of indulging in a literary debauch, if the term may be applied to so honorable an occupation.
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
Everything is alive... Everything is interconnected.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Frugality includes all the other virtues.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
