More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is certain that memory contains not only philosophy, but all the arts and all that appertain to the use of life.
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
The popular breeze - Aura popularis
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When you have no basis for an argument, abuse the plaintiff.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He removes the greatest ornament of friendship who takes away from it respect.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
To freemen, threats are impotent. [Lat., Nulla enim minantis auctoritas apud liberos est.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil nor temperate, who considers pleasure the highest god. [Lat., Fortis vero, dolorem summum malum judicans aut temperans, voluptatem summum bonum statuens, esse certe nullo modo potest.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Philosophy is true mother of the arts [of science].
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no thing which God cannot accomplish.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has granted the use of life like a loan, without fixing any day for repayment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature loves nothing solitary, and always reaches out to something, as a support, which ever in the sincerest friend is most delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We are not born, we do not live for ourselves alone our country, our friends, have a share in us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We can more easily avenge an injury than requite a kindness on this account, because there is less difficulty in getting the better of the wicked than in making one's self equal with the good.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is pleasant to recall past troubles.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
