Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
A s laws multiply, injustice increases.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Leisure consists in all those virtuous activities by which a man grows morally, intellectually, and spiritually. It is that which makes a life worth living.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
People don't know the value of what they have until it is gone: Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.... Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude. Don't wait till freedom is gone before you enjoy, value, support, protect and make the most of it!
Marcus Tullius Cicero

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
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
Vicious habits are so great a stain to human nature, and so odious in themselves, that every person actuated by right reason would avoid them, though he were sure they would be always concealed both from God and man, and had no future punishment entailed upon them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Probability is the very guide of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Aristoteles quidem ait: 'Omnes ingeniosos melancholicos esse.' Aristotle says that all men of genius are melancholy.
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
God's law is 'right reason.' When perfectly understood it is called 'wisdom.' When applied by government in regulating human relations it is called 'justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men think they may justly do that for which they have a precedent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtue is increased by the smile of approval and the love of renown is the greatest incentive to honourable acts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice renders to every one his due.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
