More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The men who administer public affairs must first of all see that everyone holds onto what is his, and that private men are never deprived of their goods by public men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A liar is not believed even though he tell the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the soul itself which sees and hears, and not those parts which are, as it were, but windows to the soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Before beginning, prepare carefully.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our country is wherever we are well off. [Lat., Patria est, ubicunque est bene.]
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
Sound conviction should influence us rather than public opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows a weak mind not to bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
