Marcus Tullius Cicero on Unjust Accusations

Check us out at Best Philosophy Books!

"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."

-Marcus Tullius Cicero

Not many good videos out there on Cicero, so I found this video with a collection of his quotes:

Primary Source: Selected Works (Penguin Classics) by Marcus Tullius Cicero translated by Michael Grant

Secondary Source: Cicero and the Roman Republic (Greece and Rome: Texts and Contexts) by John Murrell
