More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
But as to the affection which anyone may have for us, it is the first demand of duty that we do most for him who loves us most but we should measure affection, not like youngsters, by the ardour of its passion, but rather by its strength and constancy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Leisure consists in all those virtuous activities by which a man grows morally, intellectually, and spiritually. It is that which makes a life worth living.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Time is the herald of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
O philosophy, you leader of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though liberty is established by law, we must be vigilant, for liberty to enslave us is always present under that very liberty. Our Constitution speaks of the general welfare of the people. Under that phrase all sorts of excesses can be employed by lusting tyrants to make us bondsmen.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all the rewards of virtue, . . . the most splendid is fame, for it is fame alone that can offer us the memory of posterity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so secure as that money will not defeat it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fewer possess virtue, than those who wish us to believe that they possess it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The man who is always fortunate cannot easily have a great reverence for virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thou shouldst eat to live not live to eat. [Lat., Esse oportet ut vivas, non vivere ut edas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let art, then, imitate nature, find what she desires, and follow as she directs. For in invention nature is never last, education never first rather the beginnings of things arise from natural talent, and ends are reached by discipline.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Morals today are corrupted by our worship of riches.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The gardener plants trees, not one berry of which he will ever see: and shall not a public man plant laws, institutions, government, in short, under the same conditions?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In everything, without doubt, truth has the advantage over imitation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Please go on, make your threats. I don't like to submit to mere implication.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
