More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hatreds not vowed and concealed are to be feared more than those openly declared.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a republic this rule ought to be observed: that the majority should not have the predominant power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For there is assuredly nothing dearer to a man than wisdom, and though age takes away all else, it undoubtedly brings us that.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Scurrility has no object in view but incivility if it is uttered from feelings of petulance, it is mere abuse if it is spoken in a joking manner, it may be considered raillery.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who has a garden and a library wants for nothing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
While there's life, there's hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To give counsel, as well as to take it, is a feature of true friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing quite new is perfect.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A bachelor's bed is the most pleasant.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is infinitely better than kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so unpredictable as a throw of the dice, and yet every man who plays often will at some time or other make a Venus-cast: now and then he indeed will make it twice and even thrice in succession. Are we going to be so feebleminded then as to aver that such a thing happened by the personal intervention of Venus rather than by pure luck?
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
More laws, less justice.
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
There are two ways to resolve conflicts, through violence or through negotiation. Violence is for wild beasts, negotiation is for human beings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
