Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC) quotes
© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008
A happy life consists in tranquillity of mind.
A life of peace, purity, and refinement leads to a calm and untroubled old age.
A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.
Advice is judged by results, not by intentions.
All action is of the mind and the mirror of the mind is the face, its index the eyes.
Art is born of the observation and investigation of nature.
As the old proverb says “Like readily consorts with like.”
Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself; the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which and be pointed out by your finger.
Vi Et Armis (By force of arms.)
Cicero was one of the greatest writers and politicians of Ancient Rome.
