More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no castle so strong that it cannot be overthrown by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This, therefore, is a law not found in books, but written on the fleshly tablets of the heart, which we have not learned from man, received or read, but which we have caught up from Nature herself, sucked in and imbibed the knowledge of which we were not taught, but for which we were made we received it not by education, but by intuition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
So it may well be believed that when I found him taking a complete holiday, with a vast supply of books at command, he had the air of indulging in a literary debauch, if the term may be applied to so honorable an occupation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a crime to put a Roman citizen in chains, it is an enormity to flog one, sheer murder to slay one: what, then, shall I say of crucifixion? It is impossible to find the word for such an abomination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a common saying that many pecks of salt must be eaten before the duties of friendship can be discharged.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
But in every matter the consensus of opinion among all nations is to be regarded as the law of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Vicious habits are so great a stain to human nature, and so odious in themselves, that every person actuated by right reason would avoid them, though he were sure they would be always concealed both from God and man, and had no future punishment entailed upon them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
