More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
O philosophy, you leader of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In a promise, what you thought, and not what you said, is always to be considered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No man in his senses will dance.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The wise man knows nothing if he cannot benefit from his wisdom. Wisdom is not only to be acquired, but also to be utilized.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Brevity is a great charm of eloquence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Calamus fortior gladio.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.
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
Piety and holiness of life will propitiate the gods. [Lat., Deos placatos pietas efficiet et sanctitas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let every man practise the trade which he best understands.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A careful physician . . . before he attempts to administer a remedy to his patient, must investigate not only the malady of the man he wishes to cure, but also his habits when in health, and his physical constitution.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Fewer possess virtue, than those who wish us to believe that they possess it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friends are proved by adversity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our liberality should not exceed our ability.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A wise man does nothing by constraint.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Virtue is increased by the smile of approval and the love of renown is the greatest incentive to honourable acts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
