Let the punishment match the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friends are proved by adversity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sed nescio quo modo nihil tam absurde dici potest quod non dicatur ab aliquo philosphorum. (There is nothing so absurd but some philosopher has said it.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What one has, one ought to use: and whatever he does he should do with all his might.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We can more easily avenge an injury than requite a kindness on this account, because there is less difficulty in getting the better of the wicked than in making one's self equal with the good.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. [Lat., Gratus animus est una virtus non solum maxima, sed etiam mater virtutum onmium reliquarum.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For one day spent well, and agreeably to your precepts, is preferable to an eternity of error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For there is but one essential justice which cements society, and one law which establishes this justice. This law is right reason, which is the true rule of all commandments and prohibitions. Whoever neglects this law, whether written or unwritten, is necessarily unjust and wicked.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory takes root, and even spreads all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground nor can any counterfeit last long.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rashness is the companion of youth, prudence of old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What the object of senile avarice may be I cannot conceive. For can there be anything more absurd than to seek more journey money, the less there remains of the journey?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age: the crown of life, our play's last act.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
An old man with something of the youth in him, may feel young in mind and heart only.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.
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
