Do nothing twice over.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If some lose their whole fortunes, they will drag many more down with them . . . believe me that the whole system of credit and finance which is carried on here at Rome in the Forum, is inextricably bound up with the revenues of the Asiatic province. If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The proof of a well-trained mind is that it rejoices in which is good and grieves at the opposite.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole of virtue consists in its practice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man must suffer to be wise.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a promise, what you thought, and not what you said, is always to be considered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Jews belong to a dark and repulsive force. One knows how numerous this clique is, how they stick together and what power they exercise through their unions. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers.
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
Nothing is too absurd to be said by some of the philosophers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It was fear that was then making you a good citizen, which is never a lasting teacher of duty.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? In heaven's name,Catiline, how long will you abuse ourpatience?
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
Ability without honor is useless.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To know the laws is not to memorize their letter but to grasp their full force and meaning.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in superstition a senseless fear of God religion consists in the pious worship of Him.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The most desirable thing in life after health and modest means is leisure with dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thou shouldst eat to live not live to eat. [Lat., Esse oportet ut vivas, non vivere ut edas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
