More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.
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
The spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which can be pointed out by your finger.

There is in superstition a senseless fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
