It is a man's own dishonesty, his crimes, his wickedness, and boldness, that takes away from him soundness of mind these are the furies, these the flames and firebrands, of the wicked.

More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is generally said, Past labors are pleasant, Euripides says, for you all know the Greek verse, The recollection of past labors is pleasant. [Lat., Vulgo enim dicitur, Jucundi acti labores: nec male Euripides: concludam, si potero, Latine: Graecum enim hunc versum nostis omnes: Suavis laborum est proeteritorum memoria.
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
There is in superstition a senseless fear of God religion consists in the pious worship of Him.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For one day spent well, and agreeably to your precepts, is preferable to an eternity of error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a disturbed mind, as in a body in the same state, health can not exist.
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
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
Always the same thing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The impulse which directs to right conduct, and deters from crime, is not only older than the ages of nations and cities, but coeval with that Divine Being who sees and rules both heaven and earth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everyone has his besetting sin.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man was ever great without divine inspiration. [Lat., Nemo vir magnus aliquo afflatu divino unquam fuit.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Leisure with dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Peace is liberty in tranquillity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
How much in love with himself, and that too without a rival!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Piety and holiness of life will propitiate the gods. [Lat., Deos placatos pietas efficiet et sanctitas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exile is terrible to those who have, as it were, a circumscribed habitation but not to those who look upon the whole globe but as one city.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
While there's life, there's hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
