More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Please go on, make your threats. I don't like to submit to mere implication.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is in fact a true law namely right reason, which is in accordance with nature, applies to all men and is unchangeable and eternal. ... It will not lay down one rule at Rome and another at Athens, nor will it be one rule today and another tomorrow. But there will be one law eternal and unchangeable binding all times and upon all peoples.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is no opinion so stupid that it can't be expressed by some philosopher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Piety and holiness of life will propitiate the gods. [Lat., Deos placatos pietas efficiet et sanctitas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The law is silent during war. [Lat., Silent leges inter arma.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No liberal man would impute a charge of unsteadiness to another for having changed his opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
You might as well take the sun out of the sky as friendship from life: for the immortal gods have given us nothing better or more delightful.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Peace is so beneficial that the word itself is pleasant to hear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Friendship is infinitely better than kindness.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
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. Indeed the authority of those who set out to teach is often an impediment to those who wish to learn. They cease to use their own judgment and regard as gospel whatever is put forward by their chosen teacher.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is difficult to remember all, and ungracious to omit any.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Judge not by the number, but by the weight.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thou shouldst eat to live not live to eat. [Lat., Esse oportet ut vivas, non vivere ut edas.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In the very books in which philosophers bid us scorn fame, they inscribe their names.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
True glory strikes root, and even extends itself all false pretensions fall as do flowers, nor can any feigned thing be lasting.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Men think they may justly do that for which they have a precedent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Live as brave men and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Of evils one should choose the least. [Lat., Ex malis eligere minima oportere.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Sound conviction should influence us rather than public opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
