Quote

There is a difference between justice and consideration in one's relations to one's fellow men. It is the function of justice not to do wrong to one's fellow men of considerateness, not to wound their feelings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
If a man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Nature has lent us life at interest, like money, and has fixed no day for its payment.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
While all other things are uncertain, evanescent, and ephemeral, virtue alone is fixed with deep roots it can neither be overthrown by any violence or moved from its place.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Extreme justice is extreme injustice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The thirst of desire is never filled, nor fully satisfied.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Any man is liable to err, only a fool persists in error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
If you wish to persuade me, you must think my thoughts, feel my feelings, and speak my words.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Frivolity is inborn, conceit acquired by education.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
