More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man's life is ruled by fortune, not by wisdom.

Scurrility has no object in view but incivility if it is uttered from feelings of petulance, it is mere abuse if it is spoken in a joking manner, it may be considered raillery.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To freemen, threats are impotent. [Lat., Nulla enim minantis auctoritas apud liberos est.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
