Marcus Tullius Cicero quotes
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.
The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.
An unjust peace is better than a just war.
A friend is, as it were, a second self.
A man of courage is also full of faith.
A man's own manner and character is what most becomes him.
A tear dries quickly when it is shed for troubles of others.
Ability without honor is useless.
Advice in old age is foolish; for what can be more absurd than to increase our provisions for the road the nearer we approach to our journey's end.
All pain is either severe or slight, if slight, it is easily endured; if severe, it will without doubt be brief.
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.
