Man's best support is a very dear friend.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Calamus fortior gladio.
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
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
Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All places are filled with fools. [Lat., Stultorum plenea sunt omnia.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero
A wise man does nothing by constraint.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you would abolish covetousness, you must abolish its mother, profusion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sound conviction should influence us rather than public opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I will adhere to the counsels of good men, although misfortune and death should be the consequence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no life without friendship
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Learning maketh young men temperate, is the comfort of old age, standing for wealth with poverty, and serving as an ornament to riches.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
