Sivu 265 - Caesar any new power, but to apply that which he had acquired by his own vigour to the public service and the ruin of Antony ; in which he succeeded even beyond expectation, and would certainly have gained his end, had he not been prevented by accidents which could not be foreseen.
Sivu 337 - Disertissime Romuli nepotum, quot sunt quotque fuere, Marce Tulli, quotque post aliis erunt in annis, gratias tibi maximas Catullus agit pessimus omnium poeta, tanto pessimus omnium poeta, quanto tu optimus omnium patronus.
Sivu 328 - His industry was incredible, beyond the example or even conception of our days : this was the secret by which he performed such wonders, and reconciled perpetual study with perpetual affairs. He suffered no part of his leisure to be idle, or the least interval of it to be lost.

Sivu 50 - I undertook the care of the shews, which young " Caesar exhibited for the victory of his uncle : this " was an affair of private, not of public duty : it was " what I ought to have performed to the memory and " honour of my dead friend ; and what I could not " therefore deny to a youth of the greatest hopes, and
Sivu 15 - There were several things, however, very artfully proposed and carried by Antony, on the pretence of public concord, of which he afterwards made a most pernicious use ; particularly, a decree for the confirmation of all Caesar's acts...
Sivu 368 - be one law now, and another hereafter; but the same eternal immutable law comprehends all nations, at all times, under one common master and governor of all — GOD.
