More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rightly defined philosophy is simply the love of wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum. (Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The chief recommendation is modesty, then dutiful conduct toward parents, then affection for kindred.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no opinion so stupid that it can't be expressed by some philosopher.

Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A good man will not lie, although it be for his profit.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Scurrility has no object in view but incivility if it is uttered from feelings of petulance, it is mere abuse if it is spoken in a joking manner, it may be considered raillery.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Guilt is present in the very hesitation, even though the deed be not committed.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All men have a feeling, that they would rather you told them a civil lie than give them a point blank refusal.... If you make a promise, the thing is still uncertain, depends on a future day, and concerns but few people but if you refuse you alienate people to a certainty and at once, and many people too.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is the power, great is the authority of a senate that is unanimous in its opinions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everyone has his besetting sin.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in superstition a senseless fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
