Marcus Tullius Cicero
When time and need require, we should resist with all our might, and prefer death to slavery and disgrace.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim munus reiplicae afferre majus, meliusve possumus, quam si docemus atque erudimus juventutem?]
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The comfort derived from the misery of others is slight.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let art, then, imitate nature, find what she desires, and follow as she directs. For in invention nature is never last, education never first rather the beginnings of things arise from natural talent, and ends are reached by discipline.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thus in the beginning the world was so made that certain signs come before certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not a moment without some duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For hardly any man dances when sober, unless he is insane. Nor does he dance while alone, nor at a respectable and moderate party. Dancing is the final phase of a wild party with fancy decorations and a multitude of delights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life is nothing without friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
