Rome, if you do not wish me to betray you, make enemies that I can hate!
I am master of myself as of the universe, so I am; so I wish to be.
It matters more how one gives than what one gives
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Ambition displeases when it has been sated ... having reached the peak, it aspires to descend.
Every brave man is a man of his word; to such base vices he cannot stoop, and shuns more than death the shame of lying.
