More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being, for whom death is not only necessary, but frequently even desirable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us not go over the old ground but rather prepare for what is to come.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so unpredictable as a throw of the dice, and yet every man who plays often will at some time or other make a Venus-cast: now and then he indeed will make it twice and even thrice in succession.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
No deceit is so veiled as that which lies concealed behind the semblance of courtesy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is nothing else than entire fellow feeling as to all things human and divine with mutual good-will and affection and I doubt whether anything better than this, wisdom alone excepted, has been given to man.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is foolish to pluck out one's hair for sorrow, as if grief could be assuaged by baldness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every animal loves itself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Long life is denied us therefore let us do something to show that we have lived.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It has seemed to be more necessary to have regard to the weight of words rather than to their number.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
