More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
All places are filled with fools. [Lat., Stultorum plenea sunt omnia.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I am mistaken in my opinion that the human soul is immortal, I willingly err nor would I have this pleasant error extorted from me and if, as some minute philosophers suppose, death should deprive me of my being, I need not fear the raillery of those pretended philosophers when they are no more.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtue is increased by the smile of approval and the love of renown is the greatest incentive to honourable acts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a man's own dishonesty, his crimes, his wickedness, and boldness, that takes away from him soundness of mind these are the furies, these the flames and firebrands, of the wicked.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The man who commands efficiently must have obeyed others in the past, and the man who obeys dutifully is worthy of someday being a commander.
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
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The man who is always fortunate cannot easily have a great reverence for virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Philosophy is true mother of the arts [of science].
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no opinion so stupid that it can't be expressed by some philosopher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Live as brave men and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a shameful thing to be weary of inquiry when what we search for is excellent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
On the subject of the nature of the gods, the first question is Do the gods exist or do the not? It is difficult you may say to deny that they exist. I would agree if we were arguing the matter in a public assembly, but in a private discussion of this kind, it is perfectly easy to do so.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so unbelievable that oratory cannot make it acceptable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To teach is a necessity, to please is a sweetness, to persuade is a victory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice is the crowning glory of the virtues.
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
By Hercules! I prefer to err with Plato, whom I know how much you value, than to be right in the company of such men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
