More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you wish to remove avarice you must remove its mother, luxuries. [Lat., Avaritiam si tollere vultis, mater ejus est tollenda, luxuries.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The foundation of justice is good faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?
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
A man of courage is also full of faith.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To give and receive advice - the former with freedom, and yet without bitterness, the latter with patience and without irritation - is peculiarly appropriate to geniune friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The human mind ever longs for occupation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of evils one should choose the least. [Lat., Ex malis eligere minima oportere.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We cannot employ the mind to advantage when we are filled with excessive food and drink.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This is our special duty, that if anyone specially needs our help, we should give him such help to the utmost of our power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
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
Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let flattery, the handmaid of the vices, be far removed (from friendship). [Lat., Assentatio, vitiorum adjutrix, procul amoveatur.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Orators are most vehement when they have the weakest cause, as men get on horseback when they cannot walk.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Study carefully, the character of the one you recommend, lest their misconduct bring you shame.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one has leave to sin.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
