More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
From all sides there is equally a way to the lower world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.
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
We study history not to be clever in another time, but to be wise always.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All soils are not fertile.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though liberty is established by law, we must be vigilant, for liberty to enslave us is always present under that very liberty. Our Constitution speaks of the general welfare of the people. Under that phrase all sorts of excesses can be employed by lusting tyrants to make us bondsmen.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do not hold the delusion that your advancement is accomplished by crushing others.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A dissolute and intemperate youth hands down the body to old age in a worn-out state.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory strikes root, and even extends itself all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can any feigned thing be lasting.
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
Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is indeed the witness of the times, the light of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A true friend is a sort of second self.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The house should derive dignity from the master, not the master from the house.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The life given us, by nature is short but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thou shouldst eat to live not live to eat. [Lat., Esse oportet ut vivas, non vivere ut edas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains if you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
More laws, less justice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
