More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
A home without books is a body without soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is indeed the witness of the times, the light of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Certain signs are the forerunners of certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Through doubt we arrive at the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
By Hercules! I prefer to err with Plato, whom I know how much you value, than to be right in the company of such men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Leisure consists in all those virtuous activities by which a man grows morally, intellectually, and spiritually. It is that which makes a life worth living.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are eloquent who can speak low things acutely, and of great things with dignity, and of moderate things with temper.
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
Quacks pretend to cure other men's disorders, but fail to find a remedy for their own.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so unpredictable as a throw of the dice, and yet every man who plays often will at some time or other make a Venus-cast: now and then he indeed will make it twice and even thrice in succession. Are we going to be so feebleminded then as to aver that such a thing happened by the personal intervention of Venus rather than by pure luck?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is the only point in human affairs concerning the benefit of which all, with one voice, agree.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man should so act as to make a gain out of the ignorance of another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The rabble estimate few things according to their real value, most things according to their prejudices.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You might as well take the sun out of the sky as friendship from life: for the immortal gods have given us nothing better or more delightful.
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
