More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give everyone else his due.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.
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
O wretched man, wretched not just because of what you are, but also because you do not know how wretched you are!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The master sometimes serves, and the servant sometimes is master.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The dutifulness of children is the foundation of all virtues.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man may make a mistake none but a fool will stick to it. Second thoughts are best as the proverb says. [Lat., Cujusvis hominis est errare nullius, nisi insipientis, in errore perseverae. Posteriores enim cogitationes (ut aiunt) sapientiores solent esse.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is infinitely better than kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no duty more indispensible than that of returning a kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sound conviction should influence us rather than public opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The great theatre for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
