Armed forces abroad are of little value unless there is prudent counsel at home
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
In all great arts, as in trees, it is the height that charms us we care nothing for the roots or trunks, yet it could not be without the aid of these.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For it is commonly said: accomplished labours are pleasant.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For out of such an ungoverned populace one is usually chosen as a leader, someone bold and unscrupulous who curries favor with the people by giving them other men's property. To such a man the protection of public office is given, and continually renewed. He emerges as a tyrant over the very people who raised him to power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rashness belongs to youth prudence to old age.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There are two ways to resolve conflicts, through violence or through negotiation. Violence is for wild beasts, negotiation is for human beings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Mathematics is an obscure field, an abstruse science, complicated and exact yet so many have attained perfection in it that we might conclude almost anyone who seriously applied himself would achieve a measure of success.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the stain and disgrace of the age to envy virtue, and to be anxious to crush the very flower of dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Great is the power, great is the authority of a senate that is unanimous in its opinions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
