More quotes by 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
Thrift is a great revenue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no statement so absurd that no philosopher will make it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our liberality should not exceed our ability.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
O philosophy, you leader of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Care must be taken that the punishment does not exceed the offence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The avarice of the old: it's absurd to increase one's luggage as one nears the journey's end.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No liberal man would impute a charge of unsteadiness to another for having changed his opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The good of the people is the greatest law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The gardener plants trees, not one berry of which he will ever see: and shall not a public man plant laws, institutions, government, in short, under the same conditions?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Justice is the crowning glory of the virtues.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They condemn what they do not understand.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All I can do is to urge on you to regard friendship as the greatest thing in the world for there is nothing which so fits in with our nature, or is so exactly what we want in prosperity or adversity.
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
They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Since an intelligence common to us all makes things known to us and formulates them in our minds, honorable actions are ascribed by us to virtue, and dishonorable actions to vice and only a madman would conclude that these judgments are matters of opinion, and not fixed by nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I have never yet known a poet who did not think himself super-excellent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim munus reiplicae afferre majus, meliusve possumus, quam si docemus atque erudimus juventutem?]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
While all other things are uncertain, evanescent, and ephemeral, virtue alone is fixed with deep roots it can neither be overthrown by any violence or moved from its place.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
