People don't know the value of...

People don't know the value of what they have until it is gone: Freedom suppressed and again regained bites with keener fangs than freedom never endangered.... Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude. Don't wait till freedom is gone before you enjoy, value, support, protect and make the most of it!

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

A nation can survive its fools...

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

I remember the very thing that...

I remember the very thing that I do not wish to; I cannot forget the things I wish to forget.

A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

The best Armour of Old Age is ...

The best Armour of Old Age is a well spent life preceding it; a Life employed in the Pursuit of useful Knowledge, in honourable Actions and the Practice of Virtue; in which he who labours to improve himself from his Youth, will in Age reap the happiest Fruits of them; not only because these never leave a Man, not even in the extremest Old Age; but because a Conscience bearing Witness that our Life was well-spent, together with the Remembrance of past good Actions, yields an unspeakable Comfort to the Soul

There is no life without friendship

To give counsel, as well as to take it, is a feature of true friendship.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

To be ignorant of the past is ...

To be ignorant of the past is to be forever a child.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

The recovery of freedom is so ...

The recovery of freedom is so splendid a thing that we must not shun even death when seeking to recover it.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

There exists a law, not writte...

There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

If nature does not ratify law,...

If nature does not ratify law, then all the virtues may lose their sway.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

My precept to all who build, i...

My precept to all who build, is, that the owner should be an ornament to the house, and not the house to the owner.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

It is not a virtue, but a dece...

It is not a virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue, when we are led to the performance of duty by pleasure as its recompense.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

Time is the herald of truth....

Time is the herald of truth.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

In all great arts, as in trees...

In all great arts, as in trees, it is the height that charms us; we care nothing for the roots or trunks, yet it could not be without the aid of these.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

The memory of past troubles is...

The memory of past troubles is pleasant.
[Lat., Jucunda memoria est praeteritorum malorum.]

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

Oh, how great is the power of ...

Oh, how great is the power of truth! which of its own power can easily defend itself against all the ingenuity and cunning and wisdom of men, and against the treacherous plots of all the world.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

He who has once deviated from ...

He who has once deviated from the truth, usually commits perjury with as little scruple as he would tell a lie.
[Lat., Qui semel a veritate deflexit, hic non majore religione ad perjurium quam ad mendacium perduci consuevit.]
