Apollo, sacred guard of earth's true core, Whence first came frenzied, wild prophetic word.

Inability to tell good from evil is the greatest worry of man's life.

It is a man's own dishonesty, his crimes, his wickedness, and boldness, that takes away from him soundness of mind; these are the furies, these the flames and firebrands, of the wicked.

It is as hard for the good to suspect evil, as it is for the bad to suspect good.

If some lose their whole fortunes, they will drag many more down with them . . . believe me that the whole system of credit and finance which is carried on here at Rome in the Forum, is inextricably bound up with the revenues of the Asiatic province. If Those revenues are destroyed, our whole system of credit will come down with a crash.

Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.
