What day is so festal it fails to reveal some theft?

There is no reliance to be placed on appearance.

Men who ape the saint and play the sinner.

Nothing is more audacious than these women when detected; they assume anger, and take courage from the very crime itself.

The people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions, and all else, now concerns itself no more, and longs eagerly for just two things: bread and circuses!

But with what incessant and grievous ills is old age surrounded!

Many commit the same crimes with a very different result. One bears a cross for his crime; another a crown.
