More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the soul itself which sees and hears, and not those parts which are, as it were, but windows to the soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum. (Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Physicians, when the cause of disease is discovered, consider that the cure is discovered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After victory, you have more enemies.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
All men have a feeling, that they would rather you told them a civil lie than give them a point blank refusal.... If you make a promise, the thing is still uncertain, depends on a future day, and concerns but few people but if you refuse you alienate people to a certainty and at once, and many people too.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Prudence must not be expected from a man who is never sober. [Lat., Non est ab homine nunquam sobrio postulanda prudentia.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Time is the herald of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dissimulation creeps gradually into the minds of men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I know not any season of life that is past more agreeably than virtuous old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For out of such an ungoverned populace one is usually chosen as a leader, someone bold and unscrupulous who curries favor with the people by giving them other men's property. To such a man the protection of public office is given, and continually renewed. He emerges as a tyrant over the very people who raised him to power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a promise, what you thought, and not what you said, is always to be considered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is disgraceful when the passers-by exclaim, O ancient house! alas, how unlike is thy present master to thy former one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows a brave and resolute spirit not to be agitated in exciting circumstances.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has granted the use of life like a loan, without fixing any day for repayment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the soldier yield to the civilian.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A happy life consists in tranquility of mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
