More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Each part of life has its own pleasures. Each has its own abundant harvest, to be garnered in season. We may grow old in body, but we need never grow old in mind and spirit. No one is as old as to think he or she cannot live one more year.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rashness attends youth, as prudence does old age.
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
Falsehoods border on truths.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole of virtue consists in its practice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men resemble the gods in nothing so much as in doing good to their fellow creatures.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature loves nothing solitary, and always reaches out to something, as a support, which ever in the sincerest friend is most delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A true friend is a sort of second self.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The foundation of justice is good faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For every man's nature is concealed with many folds of disguise, and covered as it were with various veils. His brows, his eyes, and very often his countenance, are deceitful, and his speech is most commonly a lie.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wars, therefore, are to be undertaken for this end, that we may live in peace, without being injured but when we obtain the victory, we must preserve those enemies who behaved without cruelty or inhumanity during the war.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is the character of a brave and resolute man not to be ruffled by adversity and not to desert his post.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age: the crown of life, our play's last act.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is difficult to remember all, and ungracious to omit any.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Endless money forms the sinews of war. [Lat., Nervi belli pecunia infinita.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
