More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice is the crowning glory of the virtues.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Intellect engages us in the pursuit of Truth. The Passions impel us to Action.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When money is unreasonably coveted, it is a disease of the mind which is called avarice.
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
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?

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
Let every man practise the trade which he best understands.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The avarice of the old: it's absurd to increase one's luggage as one nears the journey's end.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The higher our position the more modestly we should behave.
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
Virtue is a habit of the mind, consistent with nature and moderation and reason.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a crime to put a Roman citizen in chains, it is an enormity to flog one, sheer murder to slay one: what, then, shall I say of crucifixion? It is impossible to find the word for such an abomination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Long life is denied us therefore let us do something to show that we have lived.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
