More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Image

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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

Death is not natural for a state as it is for a human being, for whom death is not only necessary, but frequently even desirable.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
It is difficult to persuade mankind that the love of virtue is the love of themselves.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
He who suffers, remembers.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
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
Image
The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Reason is the mistress and queen of all things. [Lat., Domina omnium et regina ratio.]
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.
