More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
Laws are inoperative in war
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is graceful in a man to think and to speak with propriety, to act with deliberation, and in every occurrence of life to find out and persevere in the truth. On the other hand, to be imposed upon, to mistake, to falter, and to be deceived, is as ungraceful as to rave or to be insane.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
It is a crime to put a Roman citizen in chains, it is an enormity to flog one, sheer murder to slay one: what, then, shall I say of crucifixion? It is impossible to find the word for such an abomination.
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
What one has, one ought to use: and whatever he does he should do with all his might.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The spirit is the true self.
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
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
Vicious habits are so great a stain to human nature, and so odious in themselves, that every person actuated by right reason would avoid them, though he were sure they would be always concealed both from God and man, and had no future punishment entailed upon them.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
In our amusements a certain limit is to be placed that we may not devote ourselves to a life of pleasure and thence fall into immorality.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
As I breathe, I hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
All things are full of God.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Let us not go over the old ground but rather prepare for what is to come.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
History is truely the witness of times past, the light of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity.
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
A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Probability is the very guide of life.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Non nobis solum nati sumus. (Not for ourselves alone are we born.)
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We cannot employ the mind to advantage when we are filled with excessive food and drink.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There is nothing more shocking than to see assertion and approval dashing ahead of cognition and perception.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
