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
Wisdom is the only thing which can relieve us from the sway of the passions and the fear of danger, and which can teach us to bear the injuries of fortune itself with moderation, and which shows us all the ways which lead to tranquility and peace.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no duty more indispensible than that of returning a kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Strain every nerve to gain your point.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Brevity is a great charm of eloquence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice renders to every one his due.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every one is least known to himself, and it is very difficult for a man to know himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Each part of life has its own pleasures. Each has its own abundant harvest, to be garnered in season. We may grow old in body, but we need never grow old in mind and spirit. No one is as old as to think he or she cannot live one more year.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We cannot employ the mind to advantage when we are filled with excessive food and drink.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A home without books is a body without soul.
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
Dum Spiro, spero- As long as I breathe, I hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The sinews of war are infinite money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
More laws, less justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I never heard of an old man forgetting where he had buried his money. Old people remember what interests them: the dates fixed for their lawsuits, and the names of their debtors and creditors.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature loves nothing solitary, and always reaches out to something, as a support, which ever in the sincerest friend is most delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing more shocking than to see assertion and approval dashing ahead of cognition and perception.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hatreds not vowed and concealed are to be feared more than those openly declared.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
