More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
No wise man has called a change of opinion in constancy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no mortal whom pain and disease do not reach.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The injuries that befall us unexpectedly are less severe than those which are deliberately anticipated.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Your enemies can kill you, but only your friends can hurt you.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Promises are not to be kept, if the keeping of them is to prove harmful to those to whom you have made them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no opinion so stupid that it can't be expressed by some philosopher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Freedom is a possession of inestimable value.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We cannot employ the mind to advantage when we are filled with excessive food and drink.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no thing which God cannot accomplish.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
