More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Old age, especially an honored old age, has so great authority, that this is of more value than all the pleasures of youth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Vicious habits are so odious and degrading that they transform the individual who practices them into an incarnate demon.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The roots of knowledge are bitter, but its fruit are sweet.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Jews belong to a dark and repulsive force. One knows how numerous this clique is, how they stick together and what power they exercise through their unions. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Persistence in a single view has never been regarded as a merit in political leaders.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The sinews of war are infinite money.
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
Who does not know history's first law to be that an author must not dare to tell anything but the truth? And its second that he must make bold to tell the whole truth? That there must be no suggestion of partiality anywhere in his writings? Nor of malice?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There are two ways to resolve conflicts, through violence or through negotiation. Violence is for wild beasts, negotiation is for human beings.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Morals today are corrupted by our worship of riches.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The rabble estimate few things according to their real value, most things according to their prejudices.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A good man will not lie, although it be for his profit.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To stumble twice against the same stone, is a proverbial disgrace. [Lat., Culpa enim illa, bis ad eundem, vulgari reprehensa proverbio est.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No sensible man (among the many things that have been written on this kind) ever imputed inconsistency to another for changing his mind. [Lat., Nemo doctus unquam (multa autem de hoc genere scripta sunt) mutationem consili inconstantiam dixit esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For hardly any man dances when sober, unless he is insane. Nor does he dance while alone, nor at a respectable and moderate party. Dancing is the final phase of a wild party with fancy decorations and a multitude of delights.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The works of nature must all be accounted good.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For it is commonly said: accomplished labours are pleasant.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
