More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every evil in the bud is easily crushed: as it grows older, it becomes stronger.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Your enemies can kill you, but only your friends can hurt you.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature herself makes the wise man rich.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For just as some women are said to be handsome though without adornment, so this subtle manner of speech, though lacking in artificial graces, delights us.
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
Whatever you do, do with all your might.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When money is unreasonably coveted, it is a disease of the mind which is called avarice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing quite new is perfect.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man is his own worst enemy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
We are not born, we do not live for ourselves alone our country, our friends, have a share in us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The house should derive dignity from the master, not the master from the house.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exile is terrible to those who have, as it were, a circumscribed habitation but not to those who look upon the whole globe but as one city.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The thirst of desire is never filled, nor fully satisfied.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That, Senators, is what a favour from gangs amounts to. They refrain from murdering someone then they boast that they have spared him!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Superstition is an unreasoning fear of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
