Marcus Tullius Cicero
The life given us, by nature is short but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Grief is not in the nature of things, but in opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the soul itself which sees and hears, and not those parts which are, as it were, but windows to the soul.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body. [Lat., Oculi, tanquam, speculatores, altissimum locum obtinent.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though liberty is established by law, we must be vigilant, for liberty to enslave us is always present under that very liberty. Our Constitution speaks of the general welfare of the people. Under that phrase all sorts of excesses can be employed by lusting tyrants to make us bondsmen.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The most desirable thing in life after health and modest means is leisure with dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After victory, you have more enemies.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Promises are not to be kept, if the keeping of them is to prove harmful to those to whom you have made them.
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
It is besides necessary that whoever is brave should be a man of great soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what people have always sought is equality before the law. For rights that were not open to all alike would be no rights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The dutifulness of children is the foundation of all virtues.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
O tempora! O mores! O what times (are these)! what morals!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
