More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is difficult to persuade mankind that the love of virtue is the love of themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though laughter is allowable, a horse-laugh is abominable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Care must be taken that the punishment does not exceed the offence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Extreme justice is extreme injustice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Each part of life has its own pleasures. Each has its own abundant harvest, to be garnered in season. We may grow old in body, but we need never grow old in mind and spirit. No one is as old as to think he or she cannot live one more year.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The proof of a well-trained mind is that it rejoices in which is good and grieves at the opposite.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Reason is the mistress and queen of all things. [Lat., Domina omnium et regina ratio.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not a virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue, when we are led to the performance of duty by pleasure as its recompense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ye immortal gods! where in the world are we?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exile is terrible to those who have, as it were, a circumscribed habitation but not to those who look upon the whole globe but as one city.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This, therefore, is a law not found in books, but written on the fleshly tablets of the heart, which we have not learned from man, received or read, but which we have caught up from Nature herself, sucked in and imbibed the knowledge of which we were not taught, but for which we were made we received it not by education, but by intuition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every evil in the bud is easily crushed: as it grows older, it becomes stronger.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Judge not by the number, but by the weight.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The thirst of desire is never filled, nor fully satisfied.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Prudence must not be expected from a man who is never sober. [Lat., Non est ab homine nunquam sobrio postulanda prudentia.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Calamus fortior gladio.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
