More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I am mistaken in my opinion that the human soul is immortal, I willingly err nor would I have this pleasant error extorted from me and if, as some minute philosophers suppose, death should deprive me of my being, I need not fear the raillery of those pretended philosophers when they are no more.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fortune, not wisdom, rules lives.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All places are filled with fools. [Lat., Stultorum plenea sunt omnia.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death approaches, which is always impending like the stone over Tantalus: then comes superstition with which he who is imbued can never have peace of mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Where is there dignity unless there is honesty?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For every man's nature is concealed with many folds of disguise, and covered as it were with various veils. His brows, his eyes, and very often his countenance, are deceitful, and his speech is most commonly a lie.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature herself makes the wise man rich.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Aristoteles quidem ait: 'Omnes ingeniosos melancholicos esse.' Aristotle says that all men of genius are melancholy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In all great arts, as in trees, it is the height that charms us we care nothing for the roots or trunks, yet it could not be without the aid of these.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being, for whom death is not only necessary, but frequently even desirable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing contributes to the entertainment of the reader more, than the change of times and the vicissitudes of fortune.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Slowly and imperceptibly old age comes creeping on.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Religion is the pious worship of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Strain every nerve to gain your point.
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
