Marcus Tullius Cicero Quotes

"The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory""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 well-being of the people is the highest law""Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.""A man of courage is also full of faith.""A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.""The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.""The safety of the people shall be the highest law.""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.""Silence is one of the great arts of conversation""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.""Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others""The good of the people is the chief law""The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil"
