More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men resemble the gods in nothing so much as in doing good to their fellow creatures.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No sensible man (among the many things that have been written on this kind) ever imputed inconsistency to another for changing his mind. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam (multa autem de hoc genere scripta sunt) mutationem consili inconstantiam dixit esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
For just as some women are said to be handsome though without adornment, so this subtle manner of speech, though lacking in artificial graces, delights us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole of virtue consists in its practice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no opinion so stupid that it can't be expressed by some philosopher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man's own manner and character is what most becomes him.
