The Old Romans All Wished To Have

Prosperity Engenders Sloth.

It Is Easier To Criticize Than To Correct Our Past Errors.

Thus, If There Is Anyone Who Is Confident That He Can Advise Me As To The Best Advantage Of The State In This Campaign Which I Am About To Conduct, Let Him Not Refuse His Services To The State, But Come With Me Into Macedonia. I Will Furnish Him With His Sea-passage, With A Horse, A Tent, And Even Travel-funds. If Anyone Is Reluctant To Do This And Prefers The Leisure Of The City To The Hardships Of Campaigning, Let Him Not Steer The Ship From On Shore.

It Is Better That A Guilty Man Should Not Be Brought To Trial Than That He Should Be Acquitted.

In Adversity Assume The Countenance Of Prosperity, And In Prosperity Moderate The Temper And Desires.
