More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Mathematics is an obscure field, an abstruse science, complicated and exact yet so many have attained perfection in it that we might conclude almost anyone who seriously applied himself would achieve a measure of success.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The impulse which directs to right conduct, and deters from crime, is not only older than the ages of nations and cities, but coeval with that Divine Being who sees and rules both heaven and earth.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is fortune, not wisdom, that rules man's life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
To teach is a necessity, to please is a sweetness, to persuade is a victory.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The avarice of the old: it's absurd to increase one's luggage as one nears the journey's end.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature abhors annihilation.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Grief is not in the nature of things, but in opinion.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Hours and days and months and years go by the past returns no more, and what is to be we cannot know but whatever the time gives us in which we live, we should therefore be content.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is disgraceful when the passers-by exclaim, O ancient house! alas, how unlike is thy present master to thy former one.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The roots of knowledge are bitter, but its fruit are sweet.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Enmity is anger watching the opportunity for revenge.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The master sometimes serves, and the servant sometimes is master.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Care must be taken that the punishment does not exceed the offence.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Can there be greater foolishness than the respect you pay to people collectively when you despise them individually?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let a man practise the profession he best knows. [Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
