More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Please go on, make your threats. I don't like to submit to mere implication.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man is his own worst enemy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you would abolish covetousness, you must abolish its mother, profusion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For out of such an ungoverned populace one is usually chosen as a leader, someone bold and unscrupulous who curries favor with the people by giving them other men's property. To such a man the protection of public office is given, and continually renewed. He emerges as a tyrant over the very people who raised him to power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Brevity is a great charm of eloquence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no life without friendship
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Vicious habits are so great a stain to human nature, and so odious in themselves, that every person actuated by right reason would avoid them, though he were sure they would be always concealed both from God and man, and had no future punishment entailed upon them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We forget our pleasures, we remember our sufferings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. [Lat., Gratus animus est una virtus non solum maxima, sed etiam mater virtutum onmium reliquarum.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wars, therefore, are to be undertaken for this end, that we may live in peace, without being injured but when we obtain the victory, we must preserve those enemies who behaved without cruelty or inhumanity during the war.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquities.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is graceful is virtuous, and whatever is virtuous is graceful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though liberty is established by law, we must be vigilant, for liberty to enslave us is always present under that very liberty. Our Constitution speaks of the general welfare of the people. Under that phrase all sorts of excesses can be employed by lusting tyrants to make us bondsmen.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Read at every wait read at all hours read within leisure read in times of labor read as one goes in read as one goest out. The task of the educated mind is simply put: read to lead.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do nothing twice over.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
