More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The avarice of the old: it's absurd to increase one's luggage as one nears the journey's end.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Probability is the very guide of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
People do not understand what a great revenue economy is.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is nothing else than entire fellow feeling as to all things human and divine with mutual good-will and affection and I doubt whether anything better than this, wisdom alone excepted, has been given to man.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Neither can embellishments of language be found without arrangement and expression of thoughts, nor can thoughts be made to shine without the light of language.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I will go further, and assert that nature without culture can often do more to deserve praise than culture without nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
O philosophy, you leader of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For there is but one essential justice which cements society, and one law which establishes this justice. This law is right reason, which is the true rule of all commandments and prohibitions. Whoever neglects this law, whether written or unwritten, is necessarily unjust and wicked.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
On the subject of the nature of the gods, the first question is Do the gods exist or do the not? It is difficult you may say to deny that they exist. I would agree if we were arguing the matter in a public assembly, but in a private discussion of this kind, it is perfectly easy to do so.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man should so act as to make a gain out of the ignorance of another.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?
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
In everything truth surpasses the imitation and copy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Memory is the receptacle and sheath of all knowledge
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There were poets before Homer.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For one day spent well, and agreeably to your precepts, is preferable to an eternity of error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
