More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I believe that no characteristic is so distinctively human as the sense of indebtedness we feel, not necessarily for a favor received, but even for the slightest evidence of kindness and there is nothing so boorish, savage, inhuman as to appear to be overwhelmed by a favor, let alone unworthy of it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being, for whom death is not only necessary, but frequently even desirable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It was fear that was then making you a good citizen, which is never a lasting teacher of duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea tollit verecudiam.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man may make a mistake none but a fool will stick to it. Second thoughts are best as the proverb says. [Lat., Cujusvis hominis est errare nullius, nisi insipientis, in errore perseverae. Posteriores enim cogitationes (ut aiunt) sapientiores solent esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
