Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am pleased to be praised by a man so praised as you, father. [Words used by Hector.] [Lat., Laetus sum Laudari me abs te, pater, laudato viro.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I am mistaken in my opinion that the human soul is immortal, I willingly err nor would I have this pleasant error extorted from me and if, as some minute philosophers suppose, death should deprive me of my being, I need not fear the raillery of those pretended philosophers when they are no more.
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
Time is the herald of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquities.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We are bound by the law, so that we may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is becoming is honest, and whatever is honest must always be becoming.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Who does not know history's first law to be that an author must not dare to tell anything but the truth? And its second that he must make bold to tell the whole truth? That there must be no suggestion of partiality anywhere in his writings? Nor of malice?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A community is like the ones who govern it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Physicians, when the cause of disease is discovered, consider that the cure is discovered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Vicious habits are so great a stain to human nature, and so odious in themselves, that every person actuated by right reason would avoid them, though he were sure they would be always concealed both from God and man, and had no future punishment entailed upon them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
