There is, I know not how, a certain presage, as it were, of a future existence and this takes the deepest root, and is most discoverable, in the greatest geniuses and most exalted souls.

More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The happiest end of life is this: when the mind and the other senses being unimpaired, the same nature which put it together takes asunder her own work.
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. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable longing to see the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Physicians, when the cause of disease is discovered, consider that the cure is discovered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We cannot employ the mind to advantage when we are filled with excessive food and drink.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so difficult to believe that oratory cannot make it acceptable, nothing so rough and uncultured as not to gain brilliance and refinement from eloquence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To give counsel, as well as to take it, is a feature of true friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we are forced, at every hour, to watch or listen to horrible events, this constant stream of ghastly impressions will deprive even the most delicate among us of all respect for humanity.
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
People don't know the value of what they have until it is gone: Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.... Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude. Don't wait till freedom is gone before you enjoy, value, support, protect and make the most of it!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
How great an evil do you see that may have been announced by you against the Republic? - Videtis quantum scelus contra rem publicam vobis nuntiatum sit?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is difficult to persuade mankind that the love of virtue is the love of themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I follow nature as the surest guide, and resign myself with implicit obedience to her sacred ordinances.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The impulse which directs to right conduct, and deters from crime, is not only older than the ages of nations and cities, but coeval with that Divine Being who sees and rules both heaven and earth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This wine is forty years old. It certainly doesn't show its age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
So it may well be believed that when I found him taking a complete holiday, with a vast supply of books at command, he had the air of indulging in a literary debauch, if the term may be applied to so honorable an occupation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You must therefore love me, myself, and not my circumstances, if we are to be real friends.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
