More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you wish to remove avarice you must remove its mother, luxuries. [Lat., Avaritiam si tollere vultis, mater ejus est tollenda, luxuries.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Tomorrow will give us something to think about
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no quality I would rather have, and be thought to have, than gratitude. For it is not only the greatest virtue, but is the mother of all the rest.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The rabble estimate few things according to their real value, most things according to their prejudices.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory strikes root, and even extends itself all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can any feigned thing be lasting.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All I can do is to urge on you to regard friendship as the greatest thing in the world for there is nothing which so fits in with our nature, or is so exactly what we want in prosperity or adversity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing quite new is perfect.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We can more easily avenge an injury than requite a kindness on this account, because there is less difficulty in getting the better of the wicked than in making one's self equal with the good.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Philosophy is true mother of the arts [of science].
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we are forced, at every hour, to watch or listen to horrible events, this constant stream of ghastly impressions will deprive even the most delicate among us of all respect for humanity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Extreme justice is extreme injustice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Probability is the very guide of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Prudence must not be expected from a man who is never sober. [Lat., Non est ab homine nunquam sobrio postulanda prudentia.]
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
As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To live long it is necessary to live slowly.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
