More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Mental stains can not be removed by time, nor washed away by any waters. [Lat., Animi labes nec diuturnitate vanescere nec omnibus ullis elui potest.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The beauty of the world and the orderly arrangement of everything celestial makes us confess that there is an excellent and eternal nature, which ought to be worshiped and admired by all mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Leisure consists in all those virtuous activities by which a man grows morally, intellectually, and spiritually. It is that which makes a life worth living.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument.

They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is too absurd to be said by some of the philosophers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We must not only obtain Wisdom: we must enjoy her.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To freemen, threats are impotent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You must therefore love me, myself, and not my circumstances, if we are to be real friends.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our liberality should not exceed our ability.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
