Prudence must not be expected from a man who is never sober. [Lat., Non est ab homine nunquam sobrio postulanda prudentia.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing troubles you for which you do not yearn.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A s laws multiply, injustice increases.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The happiest end of life is this: when the mind and the other senses being unimpaired, the same nature which put it together takes asunder her own work.
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
Everyone cleaves to the doctrine he has happened upon, as to a rock against which he has been thrown by tempest.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hatred is inveterate anger.
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
There is, I know not how, a certain presage, as it were, of a future existence and this takes the deepest root, and is most discoverable, in the greatest geniuses and most exalted souls.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I have never yet known a poet who did not think himself super-excellent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Diligence which, as it avails in all things, is also of the utmost moment in pleading causes. Diligence is to be particularly cultivated by us it is to be constantly exerted it is capable of effecting almost everything.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Care must be taken that the punishment does not exceed the offence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a shameful thing to be weary of inquiry when what we search for is excellent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing more shocking than to see assertion and approval dashing ahead of cognition and perception.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
