Whatever is unknown is magnified.
The lust of fame is the last that a wise man shakes off.
Rumor is not always wrong
All things atrocious and shameless flock from all parts to Rome.
Secure against the designs of men, secure against the malignity of the Gods, they have accomplished a thing of infinite difficulty; that to them nothing remains even to be wished.
The desire of glory is the last infirmity cast off even by the wise.
