More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man in his senses will dance.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
But as to the affection which anyone may have for us, it is the first demand of duty that we do most for him who loves us most but we should measure affection, not like youngsters, by the ardour of its passion, but rather by its strength and constancy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The enemy is within the gates it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is sufficient reward in the mere consciousness of a good action.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Judge not by the number, but by the weight.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
While all other things are uncertain, evanescent, and ephemeral, virtue alone is fixed with deep roots it can neither be overthrown by any violence or moved from its place.
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
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment match the offense.
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
Probability is the very guide of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Intellect engages us in the pursuit of Truth. The Passions impel us to Action.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a common saying that many pecks of salt must be eaten before the duties of friendship can be discharged.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is not the place that maketh the person, but the person that maketh the place honorable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever you do, do with all your might.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All places are filled with fools. [Lat., Stultorum plenea sunt omnia.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Exile is terrible to those who have, as it were, a circumscribed habitation but not to those who look upon the whole globe but as one city.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Rightly defined philosophy is simply the love of wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Inability to tell good from evil is the greatest worry of man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I hear Socrates saying that the best seasoning for food is hunger for drink, thirst.
