The man who is always fortunate cannot easily have a great reverence for virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
I have always been of the opinion that unpopularity earned by doing what is right is not unpopularity at all, but glory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
In the master there is a servant, in the servant a master.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
For what people have always sought is equality before the law. For rights that were not open to all alike would be no rights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
For out of such an ungoverned populace one is usually chosen as a leader, someone bold and unscrupulous who curries favor with the people by giving them other men's property. To such a man the protection of public office is given, and continually renewed. He emerges as a tyrant over the very people who raised him to power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Nature herself makes the wise man rich.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Life is nothing without friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
There are two ways to resolve conflicts, through violence or through negotiation. Violence is for wild beasts, negotiation is for human beings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Physicians, when the cause of disease is discovered, consider that the cure is discovered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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
Image
Hmm... That's like telling you about the cold of space, or terror of midnight. Sithis is all those things. He is... the Void.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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
Image
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
It shows a brave and resolute spirit not to be agitated in exciting circumstances.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Scurrility has no object in view but incivility if it is uttered from feelings of petulance, it is mere abuse if it is spoken in a joking manner, it may be considered raillery.
