More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
We study history not to be clever in another time, but to be wise always.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I never heard of an old man forgetting where he had buried his money. Old people remember what interests them: the dates fixed for their lawsuits, and the names of their debtors and creditors.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is indeed the witness of the times, the light of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We must not only obtain Wisdom: we must enjoy her.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Can there be greater foolishness than the respect you pay to people collectively when you despise them individually?
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
Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief, The doves of Noah ne'er had roost Nor found an olive-leaf.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Peace is so beneficial that the word itself is pleasant to hear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You might as well take the sun out of the sky as friendship from life: for the immortal gods have given us nothing better or more delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am pleased to be praised by a man so praised as you, father. [Words used by Hector.] [Lat., Laetus sum Laudari me abs te, pater, laudato viro.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is virtue, virtue, which both creates and preserves friendship. On it depends harmony of interest, permanence, fidelity.
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.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Strain every nerve to gain your point.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Judge not by the number, but by the weight.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hours and days and months and years go by the past returns no more, and what is to be we cannot know but whatever the time gives us in which we live, we should therefore be content.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no duty more obligatory than the repayment of kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The forehead is the gate of the mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
