More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Honor is the reward of virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
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
The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After victory, you have more enemies.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no castle so strong that it cannot be overthrown by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Live as brave men and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the nature of every person to error, but only the fool perseveres in error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Certain signs are the forerunners of certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though liberty is established by law, we must be vigilant, for liberty to enslave us is always present under that very liberty. Our Constitution speaks of the general welfare of the people. Under that phrase all sorts of excesses can be employed by lusting tyrants to make us bondsmen.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The searching-out and thorough investigation of truth ought to be the primary study of man.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Time is the herald of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Always the same thing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To give and receive advice - the former with freedom, and yet without bitterness, the latter with patience and without irritation - is peculiarly appropriate to geniune friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ye immortal gods! where in the world are we?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
