More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our generosity never should exceed our abilities.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To reduce man to the duties of his own city, and to disengage him from duties to the members of other cities, is to break the universal society of the human race.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
An acute first-class brain is the finest asset anyone can have- and, if we want to be happy, it is an asset we must exploit to the uttermost.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within....for the traitor appears not to be a traitor...he rots the soul of a nation...he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dissimulation creeps gradually into the minds of men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Each part of life has its own pleasures. Each has its own abundant harvest, to be garnered in season. We may grow old in body, but we need never grow old in mind and spirit. No one is as old as to think he or she cannot live one more year.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no life without friendship
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I will adhere to the counsels of good men, although misfortune and death should be the consequence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Philosophy is true mother of the arts [of science].

No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil nor temperate, who considers pleasure the highest god. [Lat., Fortis vero, dolorem summum malum judicans aut temperans, voluptatem summum bonum statuens, esse certe nullo modo potest.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The false is nothing but an imitation of the true.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
