Marcus Tullius Cicero Quotes

"The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory""It is not enough to possess wisdom; it should be used.""Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others.""The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.""The evil was not in bread and circuses, per se, but in the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of the games which would serve as the instrument of their decay.""The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter.""The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory in surmounting it.""Nothing is so absurd that it has not been said by one philosopher or another.""As you have sown, so shall you reap.""He removes the greatest ornament of friendship, who takes away from it respect.""To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one's self to die.""The sinews of war are infinite money.""The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.""Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.""For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?""Brevity is the soul of command""The more laws, the less justice""The greater the state, the more wrong and injustice it commits""The wise man is always similar to himself""The beginnings of all things are small"
