More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The first duty of man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.
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
What is impossible by the nature of things is not confirmed by any law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Mental stains can not be removed by time, nor washed away by any waters. [Lat., Animi labes nec diuturnitate vanescere nec omnibus ullis elui potest.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The most desirable thing in life after health and modest means is leisure with dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Persistence in a single view has never been regarded as a merit in political leaders.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dogs wait for us faithfully.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
So it may well be believed that when I found him taking a complete holiday, with a vast supply of books at command, he had the air of indulging in a literary debauch, if the term may be applied to so honorable an occupation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wisdom often exists under a shabby coat.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is generally said, Past labors are pleasant, Euripides says, for you all know the Greek verse, The recollection of past labors is pleasant. [Lat., Vulgo enim dicitur, Jucundi acti labores: nec male Euripides: concludam, si potero, Latine: Graecum enim hunc versum nostis omnes: Suavis laborum est proeteritorum memoria.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For just as some women are said to be handsome though without adornment, so this subtle manner of speech, though lacking in artificial graces, delights us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Taxes are the sinews of the state.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum. (Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For it is commonly said: accomplished labours are pleasant.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
