More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another's heart.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To give counsel, as well as to take it, is a feature of true friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows a brave and resolute spirit not to be agitated in exciting circumstances.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Leisure with dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The sinews of war are infinite money.
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
Men do not realize how great an income thrift is.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The searching-out and thorough investigation of truth ought to be the primary study of man.
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
A true friend is a sort of second self.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
By doubting we come at truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Quacks pretend to cure other men's disorders, but fail to find a remedy for their own.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In our amusements a certain limit is to be placed that we may not devote ourselves to a life of pleasure and thence fall into immorality.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not the place that maketh the person, but the person that maketh the place honorable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let every man practise the trade which he best understands.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
