Marcus Tullius Cicero

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
Friendship makes prosperity brighter, while it lightens adversity by sharing its griefs and anxieties. [Lat., Secundas res splendidiores facit amicitia, et adversas partiens communicansque leviores.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let the punishment match the offense.

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Like, according to the old proverb, naturally goes with like.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Promises are not to be kept, if the keeping of them is to prove harmful to those to whom you have made them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To-morrow will give some food for thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Silent enim leges inter arma (Laws are silent in times of war).
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Care must be taken that the punishment does not exceed the offence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The happiest end of life is this: when the mind and the other senses being unimpaired, the same nature which put it together takes asunder her own work.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Ill gotten gains will be ill spent.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
So it may well be believed that when I found him taking a complete holiday, with a vast supply of books at command, he had the air of indulging in a literary debauch, if the term may be applied to so honorable an occupation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let art, then, imitate nature, find what she desires, and follow as she directs. For in invention nature is never last, education never first rather the beginnings of things arise from natural talent, and ends are reached by discipline.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
