More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
As I breathe, I hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For there is assuredly nothing dearer to a man than wisdom, and though age takes away all else, it undoubtedly brings us that.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A careful physician . . . before he attempts to administer a remedy to his patient, must investigate not only the malady of the man he wishes to cure, but also his habits when in health, and his physical constitution.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exile is terrible to those who have, as it were, a circumscribed habitation but not to those who look upon the whole globe but as one city.
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
Probability is the very guide of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He has no worse enemy than himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in superstition a senseless fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The great theatre for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To add a library to a house is to give that house a soul.
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
I am never less alone than when alone.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silent enim leges inter arma (Laws are silent in times of war).
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The life given us, by nature is short but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hours pass and the days and the months and the years, and the past time never returns.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Persistence in a single view has never been regarded as a merit in political leaders.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
