More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
If nature does not ratify law, then all the virtues may lose their sway.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I believe that no characteristic is so distinctively human as the sense of indebtedness we feel, not necessarily for a favor received, but even for the slightest evidence of kindness and there is nothing so boorish, savage, inhuman as to appear to be overwhelmed by a favor, let alone unworthy of it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Honor is the reward of virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A letter does not blush.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a great proof of talents to be able to recall the mind from the senses, and to separate thought from habit.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As I breathe, I hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in superstition a senseless fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Superstition is an unreasoning fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Time obliterates the fictions of opinion and confirms the decisions of nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We forget our pleasures, we remember our sufferings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is besides necessary that whoever is brave should be a man of great soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For just as some women are said to be handsome though without adornment, so this subtle manner of speech, though lacking in artificial graces, delights us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea tollit verecudiam.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The injuries that befall us unexpectedly are less severe than those which are deliberately anticipated.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ill gotten gains will be ill spent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
