More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The happiest end of life is this: when the mind and the other senses being unimpaired, the same nature which put it together takes asunder her own work.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I am of opinion that there is nothing so beautiful but that there is something still more beautiful, of which this is the mere image and expression,--a something which can neither be perceived by the eyes, the ears, nor any of the senses we comprehend it merely in the imagination.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silent enim leges inter arma (Laws are silent in times of war).
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everything is alive... Everything is interconnected.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The mansion should not be graced by its master, the master should grace the mansion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thus in the beginning the world was so made that certain signs come before certain events.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The freedom of poetic license.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Aristoteles quidem ait: 'Omnes ingeniosos melancholicos esse.' Aristotle says that all men of genius are melancholy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows a weak mind not to bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
