More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silent enim leges inter arma (Laws are silent in times of war).
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 you do, do with all your might.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which and be pointed out by your finger.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
On the subject of the nature of the gods, the first question is Do the gods exist or do the not? It is difficult you may say to deny that they exist. I would agree if we were arguing the matter in a public assembly, but in a private discussion of this kind, it is perfectly easy to do so.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After victory, you have more enemies.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life is nothing without friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The injuries that befall us unexpectedly are less severe than those which are deliberately anticipated.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory takes root, and even spreads all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground nor can any counterfeit last long.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
More laws, less justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in superstition a senseless fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We are not born, we do not live for ourselves alone our country, our friends, have a share in us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
An acute first-class brain is the finest asset anyone can have- and, if we want to be happy, it is an asset we must exploit to the uttermost.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He has no worse enemy than himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so unpredictable as a throw of the dice, and yet every man who plays often will at some time or other make a Venus-cast: now and then he indeed will make it twice and even thrice in succession. Are we going to be so feebleminded then as to aver that such a thing happened by the personal intervention of Venus rather than by pure luck?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
