More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The roots of knowledge are bitter, but its fruit are sweet.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sound conviction should influence us rather than public opinion.
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
Thus in the beginning the world was so made that certain signs come before certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To-morrow will give some food for thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no one who can give you wiser advice than you can give yourself: you will never make a slip, if you listen to your own heart.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not only arrogant, but it is profligate, for a man to disregard the world's opinion of himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He is an eloquent man who can treat humble subjects with delicacy, lofty things impressively, and moderate things temperately.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Since an intelligence common to us all makes things known to us and formulates them in our minds, honorable actions are ascribed by us to virtue, and dishonorable actions to vice and only a madman would conclude that these judgments are matters of opinion, and not fixed by nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Certain signs are the forerunners of certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man's own manner and character is what most becomes him.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In all matters, before beginning, a diligent preparation should be made.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If nature does not ratify law, then all the virtues may lose their sway.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Enmity is anger watching the opportunity for revenge.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil nor temperate, who considers pleasure the highest god. [Lat., Fortis vero, dolorem summum malum judicans aut temperans, voluptatem summum bonum statuens, esse certe nullo modo potest.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No deceit is so veiled as that which lies concealed behind the semblance of courtesy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fortune is not only blind herself, but blinds the people she has embraced.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
