More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The proof of a well-trained mind is that it rejoices in which is good and grieves at the opposite.
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
The searching-out and thorough investigation of truth ought to be the primary study of man.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To wonder at nothing when it happens, to consider nothing impossible before it has come to pass.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let flattery, the handmaid of the vices, be far removed (from friendship). [Lat., Assentatio, vitiorum adjutrix, procul amoveatur.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men think they may justly do that for which they have a precedent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defence can actually be just.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so difficult to believe that oratory cannot make it acceptable, nothing so rough and uncultured as not to gain brilliance and refinement from eloquence.
