More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Old age: the crown of life, our play's last act.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The first duty of man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let a man practice the profession which he best knows.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Brevity is a great charm of eloquence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life is nothing without friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.
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
This is our special duty, that if anyone specially needs our help, we should give him such help to the utmost of our power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
