Hatred is inveterate anger.

A life of peace, purity and refinement leads to a calm and untroubled old age.

A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.

The judgment of posterity is truer, because it is free from envy and malevolence.

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.

For the laws are dumb in the midst of arms.

Like associates with like.
