More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I know that it is likely that as worship of the gods declines, faith between men and all human society will disappear, as well as that most excellent of all virtues, which is justice.
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
Live as brave men and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no duty more indispensible than that of returning a kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so difficult to believe that oratory cannot make it acceptable, nothing so rough and uncultured as not to gain brilliance and refinement from eloquence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
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
It is not only arrogant, but it is profligate, for a man to disregard the world's opinion of himself.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one has lived a short life who has performed its duties with unblemished character.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Armed forces abroad are of little value unless there is prudent counsel at home
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This, therefore, is a law not found in books, but written on the fleshly tablets of the heart, which we have not learned from man, received or read, but which we have caught up from Nature herself, sucked in and imbibed the knowledge of which we were not taught, but for which we were made we received it not by education, but by intuition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Can there be greater foolishness than the respect you pay to people collectively when you despise them individually?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
