Marcus Tullius Cicero
We are bound by the law, so that we may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Taxes are the sinews of the state.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Things perfected by nature are better than those finished by art.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one sees what is before his feet: we all gaze at the stars. [Lat., Quod est ante pedes nemo spectat: coeli scrutantur plagas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is as hard for the good to suspect evil, as it is for the bad to suspect good.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is graceful is virtuous, and whatever is virtuous is graceful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Frugality includes all the other virtues.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable longing to see the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If some lose their whole fortunes, they will drag many more down with them . . . believe me that the whole system of credit and finance which is carried on here at Rome in the Forum, is inextricably bound up with the revenues of the Asiatic province. If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We must not say that every mistake is a foolish one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
