More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
These (literary) studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For there is but one essential justice which cements society, and one law which establishes this justice. This law is right reason, which is the true rule of all commandments and prohibitions. Whoever neglects this law, whether written or unwritten, is necessarily unjust and wicked.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature herself makes the wise man rich.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you wish to persuade me, you must think my thoughts, feel my feelings, and speak my words.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of evils one should choose the least. [Lat., Ex malis eligere minima oportere.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What the object of senile avarice may be I cannot conceive. For can there be anything more absurd than to seek more journey money, the less there remains of the journey?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thrift is of great revenue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
After victory, you have more enemies.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
