More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
To teach is a necessity, to please is a sweetness, to persuade is a victory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is truely the witness of times past, the light of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thrift is a great revenue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We ought to regard amiability as the quality of woman, dignity that of man.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let art, then, imitate nature, find what she desires, and follow as she directs. For in invention nature is never last, education never first rather the beginnings of things arise from natural talent, and ends are reached by discipline.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship embraces innumerable ends turn where you will it is ever at your side no barrier shuts it out it is never untimely and never in the way.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If a man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We should be as careful of our words as of our actions.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men in no way approach so nearly to the gods as in doing good to men. [Lat., Homines ad deos nulla re propius accedunt, quam salutem hominibus dando.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To live long it is necessary to live slowly.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Orators are most vehement when their cause is weak.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
On the subject of the nature of the gods, the first question is Do the gods exist or do the not? It is difficult you may say to deny that they exist. I would agree if we were arguing the matter in a public assembly, but in a private discussion of this kind, it is perfectly easy to do so.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.
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
Always the same thing.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The first duty of man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
