More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The chief recommendation is modesty, then dutiful conduct toward parents, then affection for kindred.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To add a library to a house is to give that house a soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man is his own worst enemy. [Lat., Nihil inimicius quam sibi ipse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The mansion should not be graced by its master, the master should grace the mansion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am of opinion that there is nothing so beautiful but that there is something still more beautiful, of which this is the mere image and expression,--a something which can neither be perceived by the eyes, the ears, nor any of the senses we comprehend it merely in the imagination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
But as to the affection which anyone may have for us, it is the first demand of duty that we do most for him who loves us most but we should measure affection, not like youngsters, by the ardour of its passion, but rather by its strength and constancy.
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
Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
An army abroad is of little use unless there are prudent counsels at home. [Lat., Parvi enim sunt foris arma, nisi est consilium domi.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ill gotten gains will be ill spent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I hear Socrates saying that the best seasoning for food is hunger for drink, thirst.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The consciousness of good intention is the greatest solace of misfortunes.
