More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
For one day spent well, and agreeably to your precepts, is preferable to an eternity of error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no duty more indispensible than that of returning a kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
People don't know the value of what they have until it is gone: Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered....

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
All men have a feeling, that they would rather you told them a civil lie than give them a point blank refusal.... If you make a promise, the thing is still uncertain, depends on a future day, and concerns but few people but if you refuse you alienate people to a certainty and at once, and many people too.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Slowly and imperceptibly old age comes creeping on.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death approaches, which is always impending like the stone over Tantalus: then comes superstition with which he who is imbued can never have peace of mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the soul itself which sees and hears, and not those parts which are, as it were, but windows to the soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To teach is a necessity, to please is a sweetness, to persuade is a victory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The thirst of desire is never filled, nor fully satisfied.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
