More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Do nothing twice over.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
When I consider the wonderful activity of the mind, so great a memory of what is past, and such a capacity of penetrating into the future: when I behold such a number of arts and sciences, and such a multitude of discoveries hence arising,--I believe and am firmly persuaded that a nature which contains so many things within itself cannot be mortal.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
For surely to be wise is the most desirable thing in all the world.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That is probable which for the most part usually comes to pass, or which is a part of the ordinary beliefs of mankind.
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
Men in no way approach so nearly to the gods as in doing good to men. [Lat., Homines ad deos nulla re propius accedunt, quam salutem hominibus dando.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Piety and holiness of life will propitiate the gods. [Lat., Deos placatos pietas efficiet et sanctitas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The whole glory of virtue resides in activity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is so strongly fortified that it cannot be taken by money.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Not to have knowledge of what happened before you were born is to be condemned to live as a child.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment be proportionate to the offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
An agreement of rash men (a conspiracy).
Marcus Tullius Cicero
So you see, old age is really not so bad. May you come to know the condition!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
This seems to be advanced as the surest basis for our belief in the existence of gods, that there is no race so uncivilized, no one in the world so barbarous that his mind has no inkling of a belief in gods.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you wish to remove avarice you must remove its mother, luxuries. [Lat., Avaritiam si tollere vultis, mater ejus est tollenda, luxuries.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I never heard of an old man forgetting where he had buried his money. Old people remember what interests them: the dates fixed for their lawsuits, and the names of their debtors and creditors.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
