More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
I cannot find a faithful message-bearer, he wrote to his friend, the scholar Atticus. How few are they who are able to carry a rather weighty letter without lightening it by reading.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What is thine is mine, and all mine is thine.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To freemen, threats are impotent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no duty more obligatory than the repayment of kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For every man's nature is concealed with many folds of disguise, and covered as it were with various veils. His brows, his eyes, and very often his countenance, are deceitful, and his speech is most commonly a lie.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fire and water are not of more universal use than friendship.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though laughter is allowable, a horse-laugh is abominable.
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
The aim of justice is to give everyone his due.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Dum Spiro, spero- As long as I breathe, I hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
While there's life, there's hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We should not be so taken up in the search for truth, as to neglect the needful duties of active life for it is only action that gives a true value and commendation to virtue.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The injuries that befall us unexpectedly are less severe than those which are deliberately anticipated.
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
True glory takes root, and even spreads all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground nor can any counterfeit last long.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men ought to be most annoyed by the sufferings which come from their own faults.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no one who can give you wiser advice than you can give yourself: you will never make a slip, if you listen to your own heart.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
