More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is truely the witness of times past, the light of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Since an intelligence common to us all makes things known to us and formulates them in our minds, honorable actions are ascribed by us to virtue, and dishonorable actions to vice and only a madman would conclude that these judgments are matters of opinion, and not fixed by nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For it is commonly said: accomplished labours are pleasant.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sed nescio quo modo nihil tam absurde dici potest quod non dicatur ab aliquo philosphorum. (There is nothing so absurd but some philosopher has said it.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
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
Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In everything, without doubt, truth has the advantage over imitation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
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
Men think they may justly do that for which they have a precedent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Superstition is an unreasoning fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more disgraceful than insincerity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No sensible man (among the many things that have been written on this kind) ever imputed inconsistency to another for changing his mind. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam (multa autem de hoc genere scripta sunt) mutationem consili inconstantiam dixit esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Calamus fortior gladio.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one could ever meet death for his country without the hope of immortality.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
