More quotes by 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
What is morally wrong can never be advantageous, even when it enables you to make some gain that you believe to be to your advantage. The mere act of believing that some wrongful course of action constitutes an advantage is pernicious.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
A s laws multiply, injustice increases.
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
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
It is the stain and disgrace of the age to envy virtue, and to be anxious to crush the very flower of dignity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we are forced, at every hour, to watch or listen to horrible events, this constant stream of ghastly impressions will deprive even the most delicate among us of all respect for humanity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature has planted in our minds an insatiable longing to see the truth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a shameful thing to be weary of inquiry when what we search for is excellent.
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
Like, according to the old proverb, naturally goes with like.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
That, Senators, is what a favour from gangs amounts to. They refrain from murdering someone then they boast that they have spared him!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
O wretched man, wretched not just because of what you are, but also because you do not know how wretched you are!
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Man is his own worst enemy.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
No one can speak well, unless he thoroughly understands his subject.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a common saying that many pecks of salt must be eaten before the duties of friendship can be discharged.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The false is nothing but an imitation of the true.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
