More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The happiest end of life is this: when the mind and the other senses being unimpaired, the same nature which put it together takes asunder her own work.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thrift is of great revenue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend Gold some decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winde But love once planted in a perfect and pure minde indureth weale and woe The frownes of fortune, come they never so unkinde, cannot the same overthrowe.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what is there more hideous than avarice, more brutal than lust, more contemptible than cowardice, more base than stupidity and folly?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A person who is wise does nothing against their will, nothing with sighing or under coercion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is truely the witness of times past, the light of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I shall always consider the best guesser the best prophet.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The law is silent during war. [Lat., Silent leges inter arma.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The existence of virtue depends entirely upon its use.
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
What is becoming is honest, and whatever is honest must always be becoming.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The nobler a man, the harder it is for him to suspect inferiority in others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is difficult to remember all, and ungracious to omit any.
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
Calamus fortior gladio.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life without learning is death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
