More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Vicious habits are so great a stain to human nature, and so odious in themselves, that every person actuated by right reason would avoid them, though he were sure they would be always concealed both from God and man, and had no future punishment entailed upon them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature loves nothing solitary, and always reaches out to something, as a support, which ever in the sincerest friend is most delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who acknowledges a kindness has it still, and he who has a grateful sense of it has requited it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Even the ablest pilots are willing to receive advice from passengers in tempestuous weather.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The avarice of the old: it's absurd to increase one's luggage as one nears the journey's end.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
By doubting we come at truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body. [Lat., Oculi, tanquam, speculatores, altissimum locum obtinent.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fortune is not only blind herself, but blinds the people she has embraced.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Laws should be interpreted in a liberal sense so that their intention may be preserved.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No liberal man would impute a charge of unsteadiness to another for having changed his opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is difficult to persuade mankind that the love of virtue is the love of themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What an ugly beast the ape, and how like us.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It shows a weak mind not to bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is infinitely better than kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The house should derive dignity from the master, not the master from the house.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make a mistake only a fool keeps making the same one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Anyone may fairly seek his own advantage, but no one has a right to do so at another's expense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
