More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though laughter is allowable, a horse-laugh is abominable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I have always been of the opinion that unpopularity earned by doing what is right is not unpopularity at all, but glory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The house should derive dignity from the master, not the master from the house.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We all are imbued with the love of praise.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A community is like the ones who govern it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
So you see, old age is really not so bad. May you come to know the condition!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you would abolish covetousness, you must abolish its mother, profusion.
