Many, whose hearts are conquered by acute spite, roll out balanced tales from their own heart, which do not balance when you weigh words against deeds.
— Lucius Accius
Indeed, wretched the man whose fame makes his misfortunes famous.
Not at all do I trust augurs, who enrich the ears of others, so that they can enrich their own homes with gold.
A man whose life has been dishonourable is not entitled to escape disgrace in death.
Let them hate so long as they fear.
