More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Live as brave men and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wisdom is the only thing which can relieve us from the sway of the passions and the fear of danger, and which can teach us to bear the injuries of fortune itself with moderation, and which shows us all the ways which lead to tranquility and peace.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory takes root, and even spreads all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground nor can any counterfeit last long.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more disgraceful than insincerity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has granted the use of life like a loan, without fixing any day for repayment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hours and days and months and years go by the past returns no more, and what is to be we cannot know but whatever the time gives us in which we live, we should therefore be content.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I have sworn with my tongue, but my mind is unsworn. [Lat., Juravi lingua, mentem injuratem gero.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
You may never be less alone than when you are alone.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no thing which God cannot accomplish.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I will adhere to the counsels of good men, although misfortune and death should be the consequence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The name of peace is sweet and the thing itself good, but between peace and slavery there is the greatest difference.
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
Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This excessive licence, which the anarchists think is the only true freedom, provides the stock, as it were, from which a tyrant grows.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief, The doves of Noah ne'er had roost Nor found an olive-leaf.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
