More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A man of courage is also full of faith.
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
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is indeed the witness of the times, the light of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The wise man knows nothing if he cannot benefit from his wisdom. Wisdom is not only to be acquired, but also to be utilized.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no quality I would rather have, and be thought to have, than gratitude. For it is not only the greatest virtue, but is the mother of all the rest.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make a mistake only a fool keeps making the same one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For what people have always sought is equality before the law. For rights that were not open to all alike would be no rights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let every man practise the trade which he best understands.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All soils are not fertile.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is infinitely better than kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I cannot find a faithful message-bearer, he wrote to his friend, the scholar Atticus. How few are they who are able to carry a rather weighty letter without lightening it by reading.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is, I know not how, a certain presage, as it were, of a future existence and this takes the deepest root, and is most discoverable, in the greatest geniuses and most exalted souls.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you would abolish covetousness, you must abolish its mother, profusion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To reduce man to the duties of his own city, and to disengage him from duties to the members of other cities, is to break the universal society of the human race.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ignorance of impending evil is far better than a knowledge of its approach.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life without learning is death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
