What a lot of work it was to found the Roman race.
Each of us bears his own Hell.
Then endure for a while, and live for a happier day!
Persevere and preserve yourselves for better circumstances.
Roman, remember that you shall rule the nations by your authority, for this is to be your skill, to make peace the custom, to spare the conquered, and to wage war until the haughty are brought low.
That man is the most loyal who aims at the noblest motive, and that motive the public good.
