More quotes by 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
It is as hard for the good to suspect evil, as it is for the bad to suspect good.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No wise man has called a change of opinion in constancy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not only arrogant, but it is profligate, for a man to disregard the world's opinion of himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That is probable which for the most part usually comes to pass, or which is a part of the ordinary beliefs of mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We must not say that every mistake is a foolish one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If some lose their whole fortunes, they will drag many more down with them . . . believe me that the whole system of credit and finance which is carried on here at Rome in the Forum, is inextricably bound up with the revenues of the Asiatic province. If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea tollit verecudiam.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man is his own worst enemy.
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
Summer lasts not for ever seasons succeed each other.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is the power, great is the authority of a senate that is unanimous in its opinions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The man who is always fortunate cannot easily have a great reverence for virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Politeness and an affable address are our best introduction.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is a difference between justice and consideration in one's relations to one's fellow men. It is the function of justice not to do wrong to one's fellow men of considerateness, not to wound their feelings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
