Peace is liberty in tranquillity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The human mind ever longs for occupation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Each part of life has its own pleasures. Each has its own abundant harvest, to be garnered in season. We may grow old in body, but we need never grow old in mind and spirit. No one is as old as to think he or she cannot live one more year.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing troubles you for which you do not yearn.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you would abolish covetousness, you must abolish its mother, profusion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue. [Lat., Nam quae voluptate, quasi mercede aliqua, ad officium impellitur, ea non est virtus sed fallax imitatio simulatioque virtutis.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Reason is the mistress and queen of all things. [Lat., Domina omnium et regina ratio.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I criticize by creation - not by finding fault.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not a moment without some duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am pleased to be praised by a man so praised as you, father. [Words used by Hector.] [Lat., Laetus sum Laudari me abs te, pater, laudato viro.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no opinion so stupid that it can't be expressed by some philosopher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A careful physician . . . before he attempts to administer a remedy to his patient, must investigate not only the malady of the man he wishes to cure, but also his habits when in health, and his physical constitution.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man in his senses will dance.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If a man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everyone cleaves to the doctrine he has happened upon, as to a rock against which he has been thrown by tempest.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man must suffer to be wise.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
