More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not a virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue, when we are led to the performance of duty by pleasure as its recompense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who obeys with modesty appears worthy of being some day a commander.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am never less alone than when alone.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I prefer the wisdom of the uneducated to the folly of the loquacious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument.

They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sound conviction should influence us rather than public opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every stage of human life, except the last, is marked out by certain and defined limits old age alone has no precise and determinate boundary.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I know not any season of life that is past more agreeably than virtuous old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thus in the beginning the world was so made that certain signs come before certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body. [Lat., Oculi, tanquam, speculatores, altissimum locum obtinent.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You may never be less alone than when you are alone.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Law stands mute in the midst of arms.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After victory, you have more enemies.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
