More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
I criticize by creation - not by finding fault.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This is our special duty, that if anyone specially needs our help, we should give him such help to the utmost of our power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Since an intelligence common to us all makes things known to us and formulates them in our minds, honorable actions are ascribed by us to virtue, and dishonorable actions to vice and only a madman would conclude that these judgments are matters of opinion, and not fixed by nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fortune, not wisdom, rules lives.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
He who obeys with modesty appears worthy of being some day a commander.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sound conviction should influence us rather than public opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For out of such an ungoverned populace one is usually chosen as a leader, someone bold and unscrupulous who curries favor with the people by giving them other men's property. To such a man the protection of public office is given, and continually renewed. He emerges as a tyrant over the very people who raised him to power.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If I am mistaken in my opinion that the human soul is immortal, I willingly err nor would I have this pleasant error extorted from me and if, as some minute philosophers suppose, death should deprive me of my being, I need not fear the raillery of those pretended philosophers when they are no more.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To add a library to a house is to give that house a soul.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The safety of the people shall be the highest law.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Live as brave men and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
By Hercules! I prefer to err with Plato, whom I know how much you value, than to be right in the company of such men.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
By doubting we come at truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Orators are most vehement when they have the weakest cause, as men get on horseback when they cannot walk.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.
