More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This is a proof of a well-trained mind, to rejoice in what is good and to grieve at the opposite.
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
Laws are inoperative in war
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I will go further, and assert that nature without culture can often do more to deserve praise than culture without nature.

The house should derive dignity from the master, not the master from the house.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Democritus maintains that there can be no great poet without a spite of madness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing quite new is perfect.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Prudence must not be expected from a man who is never sober. [Lat., Non est ab homine nunquam sobrio postulanda prudentia.]
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
The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a crime to put a Roman citizen in chains, it is an enormity to flog one, sheer murder to slay one: what, then, shall I say of crucifixion? It is impossible to find the word for such an abomination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When time and need require, we should resist with all our might, and prefer death to slavery and disgrace.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To-morrow will give some food for thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wisdom often exists under a shabby coat.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man's life is ruled by fortune, not by wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
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
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
Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
