More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is there that is illustrious that is not also attended by labor?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To teach is a necessity, to please is a sweetness, to persuade is a victory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
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.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
O wretched man, wretched not just because of what you are, but also because you do not know how wretched you are!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Vicious habits are so odious and degrading that they transform the individual who practices them into an incarnate demon.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friends are proved by adversity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a crime to put a Roman citizen in chains, it is an enormity to flog one, sheer murder to slay one: what, then, shall I say of crucifixion? It is impossible to find the word for such an abomination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Can there be greater foolishness than the respect you pay to people collectively when you despise them individually?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Brevity is the best recommendation of speech, whether in a senator or an orator.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief, The doves of Noah ne'er had roost Nor found an olive-leaf.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No liberal man would impute a charge of unsteadiness to another for having changed his opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who acknowledges a kindness has it still, and he who has a grateful sense of it has requited it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The rabble estimate few things according to their real value, most things according to their prejudices.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation. [Lat., Ab interitu naturam abhorrere.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am of the opinion which you have always held, that viva voce voting at elections is the best method. [Lat., Nam ego in ista sum sententia, qua te fuisse semper scio, nihil ut feurit in suffragiis voce melius.]
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
Our country is wherever we are well off. [Lat., Patria est, ubicunque est bene.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
