Bad men hate sin through fear of punishment; good men hate sin through their love of virtue.
All things may be bought in Rome with money.
The sweetest pleasures soonest cloy, And its best flavour temperance gives to joy.
One man meets an infamous punishment for that crime which confers a diadem on others.
So much greater is our thirst for glory than for virtue.
But with what incessant and grievous ills is old age surrounded!
