More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is not a moment without some duty.
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
Not to have knowledge of what happened before you were born is to be condemned to live as a child.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing troubles you for which you do not yearn.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

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
The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong.
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
Rightly defined philosophy is simply the love of wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For out of such an ungoverned populace one is usually chosen as a leader, someone bold and unscrupulous who curries favor with the people by giving them other men's property. To such a man the protection of public office is given, and continually renewed. He emerges as a tyrant over the very people who raised him to power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The beginnings of all things are small.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For it is commonly said: accomplished labours are pleasant.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice renders to every one his due.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
