More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who obeys with modesty appears worthy of being some day a commander.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are eloquent who can speak low things acutely, and of great things with dignity, and of moderate things with temper.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is as hard for the good to suspect evil, as it is for the bad to suspect good.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
What the object of senile avarice may be I cannot conceive. For can there be anything more absurd than to seek more journey money, the less there remains of the journey?
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man may make a mistake none but a fool will stick to it. Second thoughts are best as the proverb says. [Lat., Cujusvis hominis est errare nullius, nisi insipientis, in errore perseverae. Posteriores enim cogitationes (ut aiunt) sapientiores solent esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Honor is the reward of virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?
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
They who dare to ask anything of a friend, by their very request seem to imply that they would do anything for the sake of that friend.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment match the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
How great an evil do you see that may have been announced by you against the Republic? - Videtis quantum scelus contra rem publicam vobis nuntiatum sit?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No deceit is so veiled as that which lies concealed behind the semblance of courtesy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All the arts of refinement have mutual kinship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
