For what is there more hideous...

For what is there more hideous than avarice, more brutal than lust, more contemptible than cowardice, more base than stupidity and folly?

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

That, Senators, is what a favour from gangs amounts to. They refrain from murdering someone; then they boast that they have spared him!

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

Can you also, Lucullus, affirm...

Can you also, Lucullus, affirm that there is any power united with wisdom and prudence which has made, or, to use your own expression, manufactured man? What sort of a manufacture is that? Where is it exercised? when? why? how?

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

Come now: Do we really think t...

Come now: Do we really think that the gods are everywhere called by the same names by which they are addressed by us? But the gods have as many names as there are languages among humans. For it is not with the gods as with you: you are Velleius wherever you go, but Vulcan is not Vulcan in Italy and in Africa and in Spain.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

For there is but one essential...

For there is but one essential justice which cements society, and one law which establishes this justice. This law is right reason, which is the true rule of all commandments and prohibitions. Whoever neglects this law, whether written or unwritten, is necessarily unjust and wicked.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

Do not blame Caesar, blame the...

Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful good society' which shall now be Rome, interpreted to mean 'more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.'

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

For books are more than books,...

For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

Not to know what happened befo...

Not to know what happened before you were born is to be a child forever. For what is the time of a man, except it be interwoven with that memory of ancient things of a superior age?

Like readily consorts with like.

Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.

No one dances sober, unless he is insane.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquillity, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.

Marcus Cicero 1236 quotes

There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly.

Most happy is he who is entirely self-reliant, and who centers all his requirements in himself alone.

Kindness is produced by kindness.

Wars are to be undertaken in order that it may be possible to live in peace without molestation.

Thus in the beginning the world was so made that certain signs come before certain events.

That he who hath the loan of money has not repaid it, and he who has repaid has not the loan; but he who has acknowledged a kindness has it still, and he who has a feeling of it has requited it.
