Marcus Tullius Cicero

What is impossible by the nature of things is not confirmed by any law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
True glory strikes root, and even extends itself all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can any feigned thing be lasting.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
We are not born, we do not live for ourselves alone our country, our friends, have a share in us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Rashness attends youth, as prudence does old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
We must not say that every mistake is a foolish one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Virtue is increased by the smile of approval and the love of renown is the greatest incentive to honourable acts.
