More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within....for the traitor appears not to be a traitor...he rots the soul of a nation...he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What one has, one ought to use: and whatever he does he should do with all his might.
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
Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A good man will not lie, although it be for his profit.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The impulse which directs to right conduct, and deters from crime, is not only older than the ages of nations and cities, but coeval with that Divine Being who sees and rules both heaven and earth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If some lose their whole fortunes, they will drag many more down with them . . . believe me that the whole system of credit and finance which is carried on here at Rome in the Forum, is inextricably bound up with the revenues of the Asiatic province. If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every animal loves itself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is the only point in human affairs concerning the benefit of which all, with one voice, agree.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Non nobis solum nati sumus. (Not for ourselves alone are we born.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not a virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue, when we are led to the performance of duty by pleasure as its recompense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
An old man with something of the youth in him, may feel young in mind and heart only.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Intellect engages us in the pursuit of Truth. The Passions impel us to Action.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is our admiration of the orator who speaks with fluency and discretion.
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
Vicious habits are so great a stain to human nature, and so odious in themselves, that every person actuated by right reason would avoid them, though he were sure they would be always concealed both from God and man, and had no future punishment entailed upon them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He has no worse enemy than himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
