More quotes by 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
The freedom of poetic license.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For there is but one essential justice which cements society, and one law which establishes this justice. This law is right reason, which is the true rule of all commandments and prohibitions. Whoever neglects this law, whether written or unwritten, is necessarily unjust and wicked.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Opinionum enim commenta delet dies naturæ judicia confirmat. Time destroys the groundless conceits of men it confirms decisions founded on reality.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The first duty of man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

There is no quality I would rather have, and be thought to have, than gratitude. For it is not only the greatest virtue, but is the mother of all the rest.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not a moment without some duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No sane man will dance.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am never less alone than when alone.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one has leave to sin.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For one day spent well, and agreeably to your precepts, is preferable to an eternity of error.

It is difficult to remember all, and ungracious to omit any.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
