More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Frivolity is inborn, conceit acquired by education.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is difficult to persuade mankind that the love of virtue is the love of themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
An army abroad is of little use unless there are prudent counsels at home. [Lat., Parvi enim sunt foris arma, nisi est consilium domi.]
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
If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Favours out of place I regard as positive injuries.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Memory is the receptacle and sheath of all knowledge
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men, in whatever anxiety they may be, if they are men, sometimes indulge in relaxation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is the power, great is the authority of a senate that is unanimous in its opinions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The rabble estimate few things according to their real value, most things according to their prejudices.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silent enim leges inter arma (Laws are silent in times of war).
