More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Image
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
To wonder at nothing when it happens, to consider nothing impossible before it has come to pass.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

No one can speak well, unless he thoroughly understands his subject.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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
Image
Man is his own worst enemy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Laws should be interpreted in a liberal sense so that their intention may be preserved.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Can there be greater foolishness than the respect you pay to people collectively when you despise them individually?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
The impulse which directs to right conduct, and deters from crime, is not only older than the ages of nations and cities, but coeval with that Divine Being who sees and rules both heaven and earth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
This, therefore, is a law not found in books, but written on the fleshly tablets of the heart, which we have not learned from man, received or read, but which we have caught up from Nature herself, sucked in and imbibed the knowledge of which we were not taught, but for which we were made we received it not by education, but by intuition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Rashness attends youth, as prudence does old age.
