More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
No poet or orator has ever existed who believed there was any better than himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever you do, do with all your might.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We should be as careful of our words as of our actions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
By Hercules! I prefer to err with Plato, whom I know how much you value, than to be right in the company of such men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I shall always consider the best guesser the best prophet.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is virtue, virtue, which both creates and preserves friendship. On it depends harmony of interest, permanence, fidelity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Mathematics is an obscure field, an abstruse science, complicated and exact yet so many have attained perfection in it that we might conclude almost anyone who seriously applied himself would achieve a measure of success.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows nobility to be willing to increase your debt to a man to whom you already owe much.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
