More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is indeed the witness of the times, the light of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is truely the witness of times past, the light of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Persistence in a single view has never been regarded as a merit in political leaders.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After victory, you have more enemies.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
People do not understand what a great revenue economy is.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All the arts of refinement have mutual kinship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ability without honor is useless.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In the master there is a servant, in the servant a master.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Read at every wait read at all hours read within leisure read in times of labor read as one goes in read as one goest out. The task of the educated mind is simply put: read to lead.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If nature does not ratify law, then all the virtues may lose their sway.
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
Through doubt we arrive at the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Intellect engages us in the pursuit of Truth. The Passions impel us to Action.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
