More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who acknowledges a kindness has it still, and he who has a grateful sense of it has requited it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I prefer the wisdom of the uneducated to the folly of the loquacious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hours pass and the days and the months and the years, and the past time never returns.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
But in every matter the consensus of opinion among all nations is to be regarded as the law of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not the place that maketh the person, but the person that maketh the place honorable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age by nature is rather talkative.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ignorance of impending evil is far better than a knowledge of its approach.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The roots of knowledge are bitter, but its fruit are sweet.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I believe that no characteristic is so distinctively human as the sense of indebtedness we feel, not necessarily for a favor received, but even for the slightest evidence of kindness and there is nothing so boorish, savage, inhuman as to appear to be overwhelmed by a favor, let alone unworthy of it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice renders to every one his due.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If a man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age: the crown of life, our play's last act.
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
