Enough words, little wisdom. [Lat., Satis eloquentiae sapientiae parum.] - Catilina (V) [Words] The Romans assisted their allies and friends, and acquired friendships by giving rather than receiving kindness. [Lat., Sociis atque amicis auxilia portabant Romani, magisque dandis quam accipiundis beneficiis amicitias parabant.] - Catilina (VI) [Kindness] But assuredly Fortune rules in all things; she raised to eminence or buries in oblivion everything from caprice rather than from well-regulated principle. [Lat., Sed profecto Fortuna in omni re dominatur; ea res cunctas ex lubidine magis, quam ex vero, celebrat, obscuratque.] - Catilina (VIII) [Fortune] To desire the same things and to reject the same things, constitutes true friendship. [Lat., Idem velle et idem nolle ea demum firma amicitia est.] - Catilina (XX), from Cataline's Oration to his Associates [Friendship] He preferred to be good, rather than to seen so. [Lat., Esse quam videri bonus malebat.] - Catlina (LIV) [Goodness] As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay. [Lat., Corporis et fortunae bonorum ut initium finis est. Omnia orta occidunt, et orta senescunt.] - Jugurtha (II) [Change] No one has become immortal by sloth; nor has any parent prayed that his children should live forever; but rather that they should lead an honorable and upright life. [Lat., Ignavia nemo immortalis factus: neque quisquam parens liberis, uti aeterni forent, optavit; magis, uti boni honestique vitam exigerent.] - Jugurtha (LXXXV) [Life] The glory of ancestors sheds a light around posterity; it allows neither good nor bad qualities to remain in obscurity. [Lat., Majorum gloria posteris lumen est, neque bona neque mala in occulto patitur.] - Jugurtha (LXXXV) [Ancestry] By union the smallest states thrive, by discord the greatest are destroyed. [Lat., Concordia res parvae crescunt, discordia maximae dilabantur.] - Jugurtha (X) [Unity] Displaying page 2 of 2 for this author: << Prev 1 [2]
