| 7491 | Does one say No or Yes? 7491 Great thanks indeed did Thais render to me?" |
| 7491 | What are these? |
| 7491 | As for him, indeed who can deny that the issue has been to his pre- eminent glory? |
| 7491 | But do you see your father Paulus coming to you?" |
| 7491 | But what is more disgraceful than to be made game of? |
| 7491 | Did Africanus need me? |
| 7491 | Do you not see into the midst of what temples you have come? |
| 7491 | For how can one be a friend to him to whom he thinks that he may possibly become an enemy? |
| 7491 | For what house is so stable, what state so firm, that it can not be utterly overturned by hatred and strife? |
| 7491 | For what reputation from the speech of men, or what fame worth seeking, can you obtain? |
| 7491 | For where will you find him who prefers a friend''s promotion to his own? |
| 7491 | How could you have full enjoyment of prosperity, unless with one whose pleasure in it was equal to your own? |
| 7491 | I then asked him,"Even if he had wanted you to set fire to the Capitol, would you have done it?" |
| 7491 | In the first, place, as Ennius says;--"How can life be worth living, if devoid of the calm trust reposed by friend in friend? |
| 7491 | Indeed, to what purpose is it to say that among such men if one had asked anything wrong, he would not have obtained it? |
| 7491 | On the other hand, who is there that can fail to hate Tarquinius Superbus, Spurius Cassius, Spurius Maelius? |
| 7491 | Then, too, as regards the very persons who tell of your renown, how long will they speak of it? |
| 7491 | This is, indeed, the employing of force; for what matters the way in which you compel me? |
| 7491 | To what purpose am I saying this? |
| 7491 | What benefit, then, could he have derived from a few more years? |
| 7491 | What is the ease of which they speak? |
| 7491 | What like this had the Roman people ever heard or seen before? |
| 7491 | What may we suppose that they would have done, had the same thing occurred in real life? |
| 7491 | What more shall I say? |
| 7491 | What sweeter joy than in the kindred soul? |
| 7491 | What? |
| 7491 | When I had recovered from my amazement at these things I asked,"What is this sound so strong and so sweet that fills my ears?" |
| 7491 | While I was gazing more intently on the earth, Africanus said:"How long, I pray you, will your mind be fastened on the ground? |

| 7491 | Whose converse differs not from self- communion?" |
| 7491 | have aided them in the endeavor to usurp regal power? |
| 7491 | of his integrity in his relations with all men? |
| 7491 | such a life, and whom solitude would not render incapable of enjoying any kind of pleasure? |
| 2808 | Ah, but if he had wished it? |
| 2808 | Even if he had wished you to set fire to the Capitol? |
| 2808 | Is Thais really much obliged to me? |
| 2808 | After all, who is such a fool as to feel certain-- however young he may be-- that he will be alive in the evening? |
| 2808 | Again, in the case of Vecellinus or Spurius Maelius, ought their friends to have assisted them in their attempt to establish a tyranny? |
| 2808 | Again, is there not the fact that the wisest man ever dies with the greatest cheerfulness, the most unwise with the least? |
| 2808 | And should my service, Titus, ease the weight Of care that wrings your heart, and draw the sting Which rankles there, what guerdon shall there he? |
| 2808 | And this was at an incident in fiction: what would they have done, must we suppose, if it had been in real life? |
| 2808 | And what can be a nobler employment? |
| 2808 | Are there any occasions on which, assuming their worthiness, we should prefer new to old friends, just as we prefer young to aged horses? |
| 2808 | Are there then no old men''s employments to be after all conducted by the intellect, even when bodies are weak? |
| 2808 | As death, therefore, is hanging over our head every hour, how can a man ever be unshaken in soul if he fears it? |
| 2808 | As for him, who can say that all is not more than well? |
| 2808 | But what a poor dotard must he be who has not learnt in the course of so long a life that death is not a thing to be feared? |
| 2808 | But what can be more in accordance with nature than for old men to die? |
| 2808 | But what need of more? |
| 2808 | But who am I? |
| 2808 | But why mention others? |
| 2808 | Can anything be richer in product or more beautiful to contemplate? |
| 2808 | Can feet stand no more? |
| 2808 | Could such a high spirit fail to make old age pleasant? |
| 2808 | Did Africanus, for example, want anything of me? |
| 2808 | Do n''t you see in Homer how frequently Nestor talks of his own good qualities? |
| 2808 | Do you imagine that in his old age he used to address Aristides as Lysimachus? |
| 2808 | Do you mean from those carried on by youth and bodily strength? |
| 2808 | For can there be anything more absurd than to seek more journey money, the less there remains of the journey? |
| 2808 | For in what respect did old age steal upon manhood faster than manhood upon childhood? |
| 2808 | For instance, what scope would my affections have had if Scipio had never wanted my advice or co- operation at home or abroad? |
| 2808 | For instance: suppose Coriolanus to have had friends, ought they to have joined him in invading his country? |
| 2808 | For what blessing has life to offer? |
| 2808 | For what can be more foolish than to regard the uncertain as certain, the false as true? |
| 2808 | For what is more charming than old age surrounded by the enthusiasm of youth? |
| 2808 | For who, in heaven''s name, would choose a life of the greatest wealth and abundance on condition of neither loving or being beloved by any creature? |
| 2808 | From which of them? |
| 2808 | Had it not been much better to pass an age of ease and repose without any labour or exertion? |
| 2808 | Had the Roman people ever heard or seen the like before? |
| 2808 | His funeral speech over him is in wide circulation, and when we read it, is there any philosopher of whom we do not think meanly? |
| 2808 | How can a man be friends with another, if he thinks it possible that he may be his enemy? |
| 2808 | I mean, is its object an interchange of good offices, so that each may give that in which he is strong, and receive that in which he is weak? |
| 2808 | If then he had lived to his hundredth year, would he have regretted having lived to be old? |
| 2808 | In the first place, who compelled them to hug an illusion? |
| 2808 | In the next place, in what way would old age have been less disagreeable to them if they were in their eight- hundredth year than in their eightieth? |
| 2808 | Is it not rather the case with all these that the active pursuit of study only ended with life? |
| 2808 | Is not prosperity robbed of half its value if you have no one to share your joy? |
| 2808 | Is sense grown senseless? |
| 2808 | Mallet- shoots, slips, cuttings, quicksets, layers-- are they not enough to fill anyone with delight and astonishment? |
| 2808 | Nay, do not some even add to their stock of learning? |
| 2808 | Need I mention the greenery of meadows, the rows of trees, the beauty of vineyard and olive- grove? |
| 2808 | Need I mention the starting, planting, and growth of vines? |
| 2808 | Neither have you the strength of the centurion T. Pontius: is he the more eminent man on that account? |
| 2808 | Now what can be more degrading than to be thus hoodwinked? |
| 2808 | Now, what is the quality to look out for as a warrant for the stability and permanence of friendship? |
| 2808 | Or who but loathes Tarquinius Superbus, Spurius Cassius, Spurius Maelius? |
| 2808 | Shall we not allow old age even the strength to teach the young, to train and equip them for all the duties of life? |
| 2808 | Should we not rather say what labour? |
| 2808 | The question occurs in the poet Naevius''s_ Sport_: Pray, who are those who brought your State With such despatch to meet its fate? |
| 2808 | There are certain pursuits adapted to childhood: do young men miss them? |
| 2808 | There are others suited to early manhood: does that settled time of life called"middle age"ask for them? |
| 2808 | To rebel against nature-- is not that to fight like the giants with the gods? |
| 2808 | Was any family ever so well established, any State so firmly settled, as to be beyond the reach of utter destruction from animosities and factions? |
| 2808 | Was these men''s old age an object of pity who found their pleasure in the cultivation of the land? |
| 2808 | Well, then, what about friendship? |
| 2808 | What about lawyers, pontiffs, augurs, philosophers, when old? |
| 2808 | What can be more delightful than to have some one to whom you can say everything with the same absolute confidence as to yourself? |
| 2808 | What could be weaker than Milo of Croton''s exclamation? |
| 2808 | What could such a man have gained by the addition of a few years? |
| 2808 | What is the point of all this? |
| 2808 | What is the point of these remarks? |
| 2808 | What is the value of this"freedom from care"? |
| 2808 | What pleasures are there in feasts, games, or mistresses comparable to pleasures such as these? |
| 2808 | What sort of charge is this against old age, when you see that it is shared by youth? |
| 2808 | What then are the physical pleasures to be compared with the reward of influence? |
| 2808 | What then is the purpose of such a long disquisition on Maximus? |
| 2808 | What wonder, then, that old men are eventually feeble, when even young men can not escape it? |
| 2808 | Where can you find the man to prefer his friend''s advancement to his own? |
| 2808 | Which then of the two would you prefer to have given to you-- bodily strength like that, or intellectual strength like that of Pythagoras? |
| 2808 | Who can love one whom he fears, or by whom he knows that he is feared? |
| 2808 | Who could steel himself to endure such a life? |
| 2808 | Who was more famous and powerful in Greece than Themistocles? |
| 2808 | Who would not lose in his loneliness the zest for all pleasures? |
| 2808 | Why then do I spend so many words on the subject of pleasure? |
| 2808 | Why then should I be afraid if I am destined either not to be miserable after death or even to be happy? |
| 2808 | With these premises, then, let us first, if you please, examine the question-- how far ought personal feeling to go in friendship? |
| 2808 | and what ability have I? |
| 2808 | what is"long"in a man''s life? |
| 9776 | Or in what manner are these two objects to be distinguished? |
| 9776 | Through the whole length of it:--and if"What is the circumstance which gives them a pleasing effect?" |
| 9776 | Was you without a habitation? 9776 Why do they attack us by clandestine measures? |
| 9776 | ''Nay, or could you yourself, my Brutus, if the whole assembly was to leave you, as it once did Curio?" |
| 9776 | --"And what concern need_ that_ give you,"replied Atticus,"if it meets the approbation of Brutus?" |
| 9776 | --"And what is that?" |
| 9776 | --"And what then is the merit,"said Brutus,"which you mean to ascribe to these provincial Orators?" |
| 9776 | --"And what think you,"said I,"of Crassus, the son of that Licinia, who was adopted by Crassus in his will?" |
| 9776 | --"But does there,"said Brutus,"or will there ever exist a man, who is furnished with all the united accomplishments you require?" |
| 9776 | --"But is it possible to doubt,"cried Brutus,"whether this was a sensible quality, or a defect? |
| 9776 | --"But what occasion is there,"said Brutus,"to quote the example of other speakers to support your assertion? |
| 9776 | --"But why,"answered I,"would you expect that I would give you my opinion of men who are as well known to yourself as to me?" |
| 9776 | --"Do you mean that Granius,"said Brutus,"of whom Lucilius has related such a number of stories?" |
| 9776 | --"Do you really think, then,"said Atticus,"that Fannius was the author of that Oration? |
| 9776 | --"From the sole pleasure of the ear:"--If"What the method of blending and intermingling them?" |
| 9776 | --"In the different quantity of our syllables:"--If"From whence their_ origin_?" |
| 9776 | --"In what manner?" |
| 9776 | --"Mighty well,"said I;"and what think you of him you have heard so often?" |
| 9776 | --"What do you mean,"said Brutus? |
| 9776 | --"What do you refer to?" |
| 9776 | --"What else can I think,"replied he,"but that you will soon have an Orator, who will very nearly resemble yourself?" |
| 9776 | --"What fashionable delicacy do you mean?" |
| 9776 | --"_Nobody denies it; and these are the men we imitate._"--"But how? |
| 9776 | --''And what is that?'' |
| 9776 | --If"_ Where_ is their proper seat?" |
| 9776 | After the usual salutations,--"Well, gentlemen,"said I,"how go the times? |
| 9776 | Again, if a man of vivacity takes it into his head to write this way, what self- denial must he undergo, when bright points of wit occur to his fancy? |
| 9776 | Be it allowed, then, that Lysias, that graceful and most polite of Speakers, was truly Attic: for who can deny it? |
| 9776 | But after he has thus_ invented_ what is proper to be said, with what accuracy must he_ methodize_ it? |
| 9776 | But as you are thoroughly acquainted with these, my Brutus, what occasion is there to explain and exemplify them? |
| 9776 | But if untaught custom has been so ingenious in the formation of agreeable sounds, what may we not expect from the improvements of art and erudition? |
| 9776 | But is it possible, then, to exert the powers of Eloquence without discovering them? |
| 9776 | But it will here be enquired, What numbers should have the preference? |
| 9776 | But shall we call him an Orator? |
| 9776 | But should the former have begun his whining sing- song, after the manner of the Asiatics, who would have endured it? |
| 9776 | But were not those, then, true Attic Speakers, we have just been mentioning?" |
| 9776 | But what can be more delicate than our changing even the natural quantity of our syllables to humour the ear? |
| 9776 | But what can be more insipid, more frivolous, or more puerile, than that very concinnity of expression which he actually acquired?" |
| 9776 | But what need have I to say more? |
| 9776 | But wherefore do I offer such a question, when your elegant letters have informed me, that this is the chief object of your request? |
| 9776 | But wherefore do I say_ mine_? |
| 9776 | But which of them does he mean to fix upon? |
| 9776 | But who, when the use of corn has been discovered, would be so mad as to feed upon acorns? |
| 9776 | But why do I speak of a collision of vowels? |
| 9776 | But why must Lysias and Hyperides be so fondly courted, while Cato is entirely overlooked? |
| 9776 | For what is so remote from severity of manners as gentleness and affability? |
| 9776 | For what is the age of a single mortal, unless it is connected, by the aid of History, with the times of our ancestors? |
| 9776 | For who has ever heard of an Argive, a Corinthian, or a Theban Orator at the times we are speaking of? |
| 9776 | From the same capacity came those riper expressions,--"She was the spouse of her son- in- law, the step- mother of her own offspring? |
| 9776 | Have we not seen that a whole age could scarcely furnish two Speakers who really excelled in their profession? |
| 9776 | He goes on,"_ Cur clandestinis consiliis nos oppugnant? |
| 9776 | How difficult will he find it to reject florid phrases, and pretty embellishments of style? |
| 9776 | How then shall we strike out a general_ rule_ or_ model_, when there are several manners, and each of them has a certain perfection of its own? |
| 9776 | I answer,--"To gratify the ear:"--If"_ When_?" |
| 9776 | I may add, who made a warmer opposition to the rising fame of_ Isocrates_? |
| 9776 | I own it, and I admire them for it: but why not allow a share of it to Cato? |
| 9776 | I reply,"At all times:"--If"In what part of a sentence?" |
| 9776 | If it be farther enquired,"For what purpose they are employed?" |
| 9776 | If this is the case with them( and I can not think otherwise) will they reject the evidence of their own sensations? |
| 9776 | In all cases, therefore, we can not be too careful in examining the_ how far_? |
| 9776 | In this case, what necessity is there to await the sanction of a critic? |
| 9776 | In what cause, however, can_ prudence_ be idle? |
| 9776 | Let me further ask you, whether Demetrius Phalereus spoke in the Attic style? |
| 9776 | Nay, to go no farther, what is become of the ancient poems of our own countrymen?" |
| 9776 | Nay, when my own writings were in every body''s hands, with what face could I pretend that I had not studied? |
| 9776 | Not to omit his_ Antiquities_, who will deny that these also are adorned with every flower, and with all the lustre of Eloquence? |
| 9776 | Or could the Athenians improve their diet, and bodily food, and be incapable of cultivating their language? |
| 9776 | Or even in the same cause, would you always express yourself in the same strain, and without any variety? |
| 9776 | Or how alledge another argument in reply, which shall be still more plausible than that of his antagonist? |
| 9776 | Or is an Orator really thought to be no Orator, because he disclaims the title? |
| 9776 | Or is it likely that, in a great and noble art, the world will judge it a scandal to_ teach_ what it is the greatest honour to_ learn_? |
| 9776 | Or is there any sort of causes which your genius would decline? |
| 9776 | Or shall we content ourselves with the instructions which_ they_ have provided for us? |
| 9776 | Or who more different from either of them, than Aeschines? |
| 9776 | Or why should it not be a credit to_ teach_ what it is the highest honour to have_ learned_? |
| 9776 | Or, lastly, which of the Greek Orators has copied the style of Thucydides? |
| 9776 | Otherwise, how can he enlarge upon those which are most pertinent, and dwell upon such as more particularly affect his cause? |
| 9776 | Pecunia superabat? |
| 9776 | Scaevola?" |
| 9776 | Shall we pronounce him the rival of Lysias, who was the most finished character of the kind? |
| 9776 | Terence, therefore, has made use of both, as when he says,_ eho tu cognatum tuum non norâs_? |
| 9776 | That Brutus, who concealed the most consummate abilities under the appearance of a natural defect of understanding? |
| 9776 | That Brutus, who so readily discovered the meaning of the Oracle, which promised the supremacy to him who should first salute his mother? |
| 9776 | To conclude this head; If it should be enquired,"What are the numbers to be used in prose?" |
| 9776 | Was your pocket well provided? |
| 9776 | What advantage, then, it will be said, has the skilful critic over the illiterate hearer? |
| 9776 | What can be more difficult than to decide a number of suits, so as to be equally esteemed and beloved by the parties on both sides? |
| 9776 | What can be more opposite? |
| 9776 | What here can you find to censure? |
| 9776 | What news have you brought?" |
| 9776 | What, in the name of Heaven, can be intend by_ SPITATICAL? |
| 9776 | Where that ardour, that eagerness, which extorts the most pathetic language even from men of the dullest capacities? |
| 9776 | Where was that expression of resentment which is so natural to the injured? |
| 9776 | Wherefore, then, should not_ I_ also exert my efforts? |
| 9776 | Which of them, then, do you propose to imitate? |
| 9776 | Which of them, therefore, is not to be met with in my seven Invectives against_ Verres_? |
| 9776 | Who also was more nervous than Aristotle? |
| 9776 | Who dethroned and banished a powerful monarch, the son of an illustrious sovereign? |
| 9776 | Who had a richer style than Plato? |
| 9776 | Who sweeter than Theophrastus? |
| 9776 | Who, for instance, could be more unlike each other than Demosthenes and Lysias? |
| 9776 | Who, then, can have patience with those dull and conceited humourists, who dare to oppose themselves to such venerable names as these? |
| 9776 | Why, therefore, should we hesitate to follow her example, and to do our best to gratify the ear? |
| 9776 | With what patience, then, would a Mysian or a Phrygian have been heard at Athens, when even Demosthenes himself was reproached as a nuisance? |
| 9776 | Would_ you_, then, plead every cause in the same manner? |
| 9776 | You, who are possessed of a critical knowledge of the art, what more will you require? |
| 9776 | ], though I was afterwards sensible it was too warm and extravagant? |
| 9776 | ]; such as the following line in the tragedy of_ Thyestes_,"_ Quemnam te esse dicam? |
| 9776 | and afterwards,_ Stilphonem, inquam, noveras_? |
| 9776 | and with what emphasis did he enlarge upon the necessity of supporting the common forms of law? |
| 9776 | and yet who more venerable than yourself, or who more agreeable? |
| 9776 | cur de perfugis nostris copias comparant contra nos_?" |
| 9776 | have we not seen what has always been the wish of the defendant, and what the judgment of Hortensius, concerning yourself? |
| 9776 | how often did he urge the authority of his father, who had always been an advocate for a strict adherence to the letter of a testament? |
| 9776 | or in that of_ Cornelius_? |
| 9776 | or in the cause of_ Habitus_? |
| 9776 | or indeed in most of my Defences? |
| 9776 | or rather, who would not have ordered him to be instantly torn from the Rostrum? |
| 9776 | or than Demosthenes and Hyperides? |
| 9776 | or which of our ancestors, when the choice of a pleader was left to his own option, did not immediately fix it either upon Crassus or Antonius? |
| 9776 | qui in tardâ senectute_;"Whom shall I call thee? |
| 9776 | replied he;"and what miraculous composition could that be?" |
| 9776 | said Brutus;"and who was the Caius Rufius you are speaking of?" |
| 9776 | what of the accuracy and preciseness of the old and established forms; of law? |
| 9776 | when they are so very different, not only from each other, but from all the rest of their contemporaries?" |
| 9776 | why do they collect forces against us from our own deserters?" |
| 14988 | Ay,says Diagoras,"I see those who were saved, but where are those painted who were shipwrecked?" |
| 14988 | How am I then injured by being torn by those animals, if I have no sensation? |
| 14988 | How can I, when I do not know how learned or how good a man he is? |
| 14988 | How can you do that,they answer,"for you will not perceive them?" |
| 14988 | Is Archelaus, then, miserable? |
| 14988 | What are they? |
| 14988 | What do you mean? |
| 14988 | What less than this,says Aristotle,"could be inscribed on the tomb, not of a king, but an ox?" |
| 14988 | You can not, then, pronounce of the great king of the Persians whether he is happy or not? |
| 14988 | After all, what kind of a Deity must that be who is not graced with one single virtue, if we should succeed in forming this idea of such a one? |
| 14988 | Am I superior to Plato in eloquence? |
| 14988 | And Africanus boasts, Who, from beyond Mæotis to the place Where the sun rises, deeds like mine can trace? |
| 14988 | And as I continued to observe the earth with great attention, How long, I pray you, said Africanus, will your mind be fixed on that object? |
| 14988 | And as to other things, do not Epicurus and the rest of the philosophers seem sufficiently prepared? |
| 14988 | And as to the men, what shall I say? |
| 14988 | And can you, then, refuse to acknowledge also Codrus, and many others who shed their blood for the preservation of their country? |
| 14988 | And do we not see what the Lacedæmonians provide in their Phiditia? |
| 14988 | And do you set bounds to vice? |
| 14988 | And does it become a philosopher to boast that he is not afraid of these things, and that he has discovered them to be false? |
| 14988 | And if Hecate is a Goddess, how can you refuse that rank to the Eumenides? |
| 14988 | And if that really is the case-- for I say nothing either way-- what is there agreeable or glorious in it? |
| 14988 | And if the constant course of future time is to resemble that night, who is happier than I am? |
| 14988 | And if these are the effects of virtue, why can not virtue itself make men happy? |
| 14988 | And if they are admitted, what reason have we to reject the Gods of the barbarians? |
| 14988 | And in this state of things where can the evil be, since death has no connection with either the living or the dead? |
| 14988 | And is not the art of the soothsayers divine? |
| 14988 | And must not every one who sees what innumerable instances of the same kind there are confess the existence of the Gods? |
| 14988 | And shall not the great man found laws, institutions, and a republic? |
| 14988 | And should you observe any one of your friends under affliction, would you rather prescribe him a sturgeon than a treatise of Socrates? |
| 14988 | And thus there will be something better than a happy life: but what can be more absurd than such an assertion? |
| 14988 | And to what purpose? |
| 14988 | And what are those things of more consequence? |
| 14988 | And what is it that constitutes the happiness which you assert that he enjoys? |
| 14988 | And when it is thus explained, what can a warrior, a commander, or an orator want more? |
| 14988 | And where do the multitude of Gods dwell, if heaven itself is a Deity? |
| 14988 | And wherein doth poverty prevent us from being happy? |
| 14988 | And who is there whom pain may not befall? |
| 14988 | And whose images are they? |
| 14988 | And why should I be uneasy it I were to expect that some nation might possess itself of this city ten thousand years hence? |
| 14988 | And why should we worship them from an admiration only of that nature in which we can behold nothing excellent? |
| 14988 | And why so? |
| 14988 | And, again, how are we to conceive how much it is able to contain? |
| 14988 | Anything sudden or unforeseen? |
| 14988 | Are any of them hook- nosed, flap- eared, beetle- browed, or jolt- headed, as some of us are? |
| 14988 | Are not their opinions subversive of all religion? |
| 14988 | Are these parts necessary to immortality? |
| 14988 | Are these the good things which remove the most afflicting grief? |
| 14988 | Are these your words or not? |
| 14988 | Are they afraid of any attacks or blows? |
| 14988 | Are they all alike in the face? |
| 14988 | Are they conducive to the existence of the Deity? |
| 14988 | Are we to suppose the divine seed fell from heaven upon earth, and that men sprung up in the likeness of their celestial sires? |
| 14988 | Are we, then, to attribute the first of these characteristics to animals? |
| 14988 | Are you able to tell? |
| 14988 | Are you not acquainted with the first principles of logic? |
| 14988 | As to the beasts, do they not bear cold and hunger, running about in woods, and on mountains and deserts? |
| 14988 | As to the natural fortifications of Rome, who is so negligent and unobservant as not to have them depicted and deeply stamped on his memory? |
| 14988 | As, therefore, it is plain that what is moved by itself must be eternal, who will deny that this is the general condition and nature of minds? |
| 14988 | Besides, how can the world move itself, if it wants a body? |
| 14988 | Besides, how could that Deity, if it is nothing but soul, be mixed with, or infused into, the world? |
| 14988 | Besides, is not everything that had a beginning subject to mortality? |
| 14988 | Besides, what piety is due to a being from whom you receive nothing? |
| 14988 | But I ask you if I have effected anything or nothing in the preceding days? |
| 14988 | But I would demand of you both, why these world- builders started up so suddenly, and lay dormant for so many ages? |
| 14988 | But among men, do we not see a disparity of manners in persons very much alike, and a similitude of manners in persons unlike? |
| 14988 | But are any of these miserable now? |
| 14988 | But can not we have the pleasure of hearing you resume it, or are we come too late? |
| 14988 | But could not the Deity have assisted and preserved those eminent cities? |
| 14988 | But do not you, who are so great an adept in physics, see what a soothing flatterer, what a sort of procuress, nature is to herself? |
| 14988 | But do we imagine that he was afterward delighted with that variety with which we see the heaven and earth adorned? |
| 14988 | But do you mean, said Tubero, that he dared to speak thus to men almost entirely uneducated and ignorant? |
| 14988 | But do you really imagine them to be such? |
| 14988 | But do you think they were all madmen who thought that a Deity could by some possibility exist without hands and feet? |
| 14988 | But does your Epicurus( for I had rather contend with him than with you) say anything that is worthy the name of philosophy, or even of common- sense? |
| 14988 | But how can that be miserable for one which all must of necessity undergo? |
| 14988 | But how can wisdom reside in such shapes? |
| 14988 | But how can you assert that the Gods do not enter into all the little circumstances of life, and yet hold that they distribute dreams among men? |
| 14988 | But how does all this face of things arise from atomic corpuscles? |
| 14988 | But how does he speak on these subjects? |
| 14988 | But how is it that you take it for granted that life is nothing but fire? |
| 14988 | But how will any one be enabled to bear his misfortunes the better by knowing that it is unavoidable that such things should happen to man? |
| 14988 | But how will you get rid of the objections which Carneades made? |
| 14988 | But if a concourse of atoms can make a world, why not a porch, a temple, a house, a city, which are works of less labor and difficulty? |
| 14988 | But if it does not ease our pain, why should we debase ourselves to no purpose? |
| 14988 | But if their doctrine be true, of what avail is piety, sanctity, or religion? |
| 14988 | But if understanding, faith, virtue, and concord reside in human kind, how could they come on earth, unless from heaven? |
| 14988 | But if you decline those opinions, why should a single form disturb you? |
| 14988 | But if you think Latona a Goddess, how can you avoid admitting Hecate to be one also, who was the daughter of Asteria, Latona''s sister? |
| 14988 | But is that the truth? |
| 14988 | But it is not necessary at present to go through the whole: the question is, to what point are we to advance in order to abate our grief? |
| 14988 | But let us see what she will perform? |
| 14988 | But like what man? |
| 14988 | But must they, for that reason, be all eternal? |
| 14988 | But since the universe contains all particular beings, as well as their seeds, can we say that it is not itself governed by nature? |
| 14988 | But still, what was this extraordinary fortune? |
| 14988 | But suppose we are mistaken as to his pleasure; are we so, too, as to his pain? |
| 14988 | But supposing these were to be allowed, how can the rest be granted, or even so much as understood? |
| 14988 | But the question is, had he died, would he have been taken from good, or from evil? |
| 14988 | But to detract from another''s reputation, or to rival him with that vicious emulation which resembles an enmity, of what use can that conduct be? |
| 14988 | But what age is long, or what is there at all long to a man? |
| 14988 | But what are those degrees by which we are to limit it? |
| 14988 | But what are those images you talk of, or whence do they proceed? |
| 14988 | But what are those more important things about which you say that you are occupied? |
| 14988 | But what are we doing? |
| 14988 | But what can be more internal than the mind? |
| 14988 | But what conception can we possibly have of a Deity who is not eternal? |
| 14988 | But what do you think of those to whom a victory in the Olympic games seemed almost on a par with the ancient consulships of the Roman people? |
| 14988 | But what does the same man say in his funeral oration? |
| 14988 | But what is Chrysippus''s definition? |
| 14988 | But what is it, Epicurus, that you do for them? |
| 14988 | But what is that great and noble work which appears to you to be the effect of a divine mind, and from which you conclude that there are Gods? |
| 14988 | But what is that opinion of Epicharmus? |
| 14988 | But what is that peroration? |
| 14988 | But what is there more effectual to dispel grief than the discovery that it answers no purpose, and has been undergone to no account? |
| 14988 | But what is there of any excellency which has not its difficulty? |
| 14988 | But what life do they attribute to that round Deity? |
| 14988 | But what occasion is there to animadvert on the opinions of individuals, when we may observe whole nations to fall into all sorts of errors? |
| 14988 | But what occasion is there to philosophize here in a matter with which we see that philosophy is but little concerned? |
| 14988 | But what pleasures can they enjoy? |
| 14988 | But what said that chief of the Argonauts in tragedy? |
| 14988 | But what sense can the air have? |
| 14988 | But what shall I say of human reason? |
| 14988 | But what signifies that, if his defects were beauties to Catulus? |
| 14988 | But what think you of those whose mothers were Goddesses? |
| 14988 | But when virtue governs the Commonwealth, what can be more glorious? |
| 14988 | But whence comes that divination? |
| 14988 | But where is truth? |
| 14988 | But who can with correctness speak in praise of a mediocrity of evils? |
| 14988 | But who ever thanked the Gods that he was a good man? |
| 14988 | But why are we angry with the poets? |
| 14988 | But why are we to add many more Gods? |
| 14988 | But why do I mention Socrates, or Theramenes, men distinguished by the glory of virtue and wisdom? |
| 14988 | But why was not man endued with a reason incapable of producing any crimes? |
| 14988 | But would any one say of us, who do exist, that we want horns or wings? |
| 14988 | But would it not have been better that these inhumanities had been prevented than that the author of them should be punished afterward? |
| 14988 | But, do you not see how much harm is done by poets? |
| 14988 | But, indeed, who can dispute the antiquity of philosophy, either in fact or name? |
| 14988 | Can any one contradict himself more? |
| 14988 | Can any one in whom there is lust or desire be otherwise than libidinous or desirous? |
| 14988 | Can anything be natural that is against reason? |
| 14988 | Can anything show stupidity in a greater degree? |
| 14988 | Can he who does not exist be in need of anything? |
| 14988 | Can madness be of any use? |
| 14988 | Can there be any doubt that whatever may be lost can not be properly classed in the number of those things which complete a happy life? |
| 14988 | Can there be any glory or excellence in that nature which only contemplates its own happiness, and neither will do, nor does, nor ever did anything? |
| 14988 | Can we suppose any of them to be squint- eyed, or even to have a cast in the eye? |
| 14988 | Can we, then, think that this plentiful fountain of evil sprung from the immortal Gods? |
| 14988 | Can you deny, my Lælius, that this is a fair definition of a democracy, where the people are all in all, and where the people constitute the State? |
| 14988 | Can you, then, call yourself a brave man, of a great soul, endued with patience and steadiness above the frowns of fortune? |
| 14988 | Can you, then, think, after this plain refutation, that there is need to employ more subtle reasonings? |
| 14988 | Could he, then, be happy who occasioned the death of these men? |
| 14988 | Could the Scythian Anacharsis[69] disregard money, and shall not our philosophers be able to do so? |
| 14988 | Could the different courses of the stars be preserved by the uniform movement of the whole heaven? |
| 14988 | Could the earth at one season be adorned with flowers, at another be covered with snow? |
| 14988 | Could the flux and reflux of the sea and the height of the tides be affected by the increase or wane of the moon? |
| 14988 | Could these things subsist, I say, in such a harmony of all the parts of the universe without the continued influence of a divine spirit? |
| 14988 | Did he not follow his philosophical studies with the greatest satisfaction at Athens, although he was banished? |
| 14988 | Did not his colleague Junius, in the same war, lose his fleet in a tempest by disregarding the auspices? |
| 14988 | Did not they plainly deny the very essence of a Deity? |
| 14988 | Did not this grave and wise man sufficiently show that the public revenue was dissipated by the Sempronian law? |
| 14988 | Did she avoid labor? |
| 14988 | Did you ever observe anything like this, Epicurus? |
| 14988 | Did you ever see any world but this? |
| 14988 | Did you, then, say that it was your opinion that such a man was as naturally liable to perturbation as the sea is exposed to winds? |
| 14988 | Do I explain your opinion rightly? |
| 14988 | Do I talk of their men? |
| 14988 | Do not the Egyptians esteem their sacred bull, their Apis, as a Deity? |
| 14988 | Do not they put their names to those very books which they write on the contempt of glory? |
| 14988 | Do they not hate every virtue that distinguishes itself? |
| 14988 | Do those grandiloquent gentlemen state anything better than Epicurus in opposition to these two things which distress us the most? |
| 14988 | Do we look, then, on the libidinous, the angry, the anxious, and the timid man, as persons of wisdom, of excellence? |
| 14988 | Do we not observe that where those exercises called gymnastic are in esteem, those who enter the lists never concern themselves about dangers? |
| 14988 | Do you admit this-- that souls either exist after death, or else that they also perish at the moment of death? |
| 14988 | Do you believe an eagle, a lion, or a dolphin prefers any shape to its own? |
| 14988 | Do you believe that they thought that their names should not continue beyond their lives? |
| 14988 | Do you commit your affairs to the hands of many persons? |
| 14988 | Do you conceive him to have the least skill in natural philosophy who is capable of thinking anything to be everlasting that had a beginning? |
| 14988 | Do you imagine that Epaminondas groaned when he perceived that his life was flowing out with his blood? |
| 14988 | Do you imagine that I am angry when in pleading I use any extraordinary vehemence and sharpness? |
| 14988 | Do you intend all the laws indifferently? |
| 14988 | Do you not consider, Balbus, to what lengths your arguments for the divinity of the heaven and the stars will carry you? |
| 14988 | Do you not look upon him as unworthy of his own father''s light? |
| 14988 | Do you observe how he constrains himself? |
| 14988 | Do you see that I have much leisure? |
| 14988 | Do you see that city Carthage, which, though brought under the Roman yoke by me, is now renewing former wars, and can not live in peace? |
| 14988 | Do you suppose if beasts were endowed with reason that every one would not give the prize of beauty to his own species? |
| 14988 | Do you take that print of a horse''s hoof which is now to be seen on a stone at Regillus to be made by Castor''s horse? |
| 14988 | Do you take these for fabulous stories? |
| 14988 | Do you think the Deity is like either me or you? |
| 14988 | Do you think there is any creature on the land or in the sea that is not highly delighted with its own form? |
| 14988 | Do you, then, admit our idea of that governor of a commonwealth to whom we wish to refer everything? |
| 14988 | Do you, then, asked Scipio, believe in nothing which is not before your eyes? |
| 14988 | Do you, then, think that it can befall a wise man to be oppressed with grief, that is to say, with misery? |
| 14988 | Does not Dionysius, then, seem to have declared there can be no happiness for one who is under constant apprehensions? |
| 14988 | Does not Niobe here seem to reason, and by that reasoning to bring all her misfortunes upon herself? |
| 14988 | Does not Old age, though unregarded, still attend On childhood''s pastimes, as the cares of men? |
| 14988 | Does pain annoy us? |
| 14988 | Does the earth bring forth fruit and grain in such excessive abundance and variety for men or for brutes? |
| 14988 | Doth anything come nearer madness than anger? |
| 14988 | Eternal sorrows what avails to shed? |
| 14988 | For how is such a one judged to be best either in learning, sciences, or arts? |
| 14988 | For how without these qualities could it be infinitely perfect? |
| 14988 | For if that last day does not occasion an entire extinction, but a change of abode only, what can be more desirable? |
| 14988 | For let the soul perish as the body: is there any pain, or indeed any feeling at all, in the body after death? |
| 14988 | For piety is only justice towards the Gods; but what right have they to it, when there is no communication whatever between the Gods and men? |
| 14988 | For what can be thought better than the best? |
| 14988 | For what can possibly be more evident than this? |
| 14988 | For what can possibly ever have been put together which can not be dissolved again? |
| 14988 | For what can we pronounce more deplorable than folly? |
| 14988 | For what is Athos or the vast Olympus? |
| 14988 | For what is a republic but an association of rights? |
| 14988 | For what is better and more excellent than goodness and beneficence? |
| 14988 | For what is memory of words and circumstances? |
| 14988 | For what is more unbecoming in a man than to cry like a woman? |
| 14988 | For what is not only more miserable, but more base and sordid, than a man afflicted, weakened, and oppressed with grief? |
| 14988 | For what is that faculty by which we remember? |
| 14988 | For what is that love of friendship? |
| 14988 | For what is there in human knowledge, or the short span of this life, that can appear great to a wise man? |
| 14988 | For what is there in natures of that kind which has the power of memory, understanding, or thought? |
| 14988 | For what is there in this life that can appear great to him who has acquainted himself with eternity and the utmost extent of the universe? |
| 14988 | For what nation, what people are there, who have not, without any learning, a natural idea, or prenotion, of a Deity? |
| 14988 | For what now remains of those antique manners, of which the poet said that our Commonwealth consisted? |
| 14988 | For what shall we say? |
| 14988 | For what should he be concerned for who has not even any sensation? |
| 14988 | For what stronger argument can there be that it is of little use than that some very profound philosophers live in a discreditable manner? |
| 14988 | For what superior force can there be? |
| 14988 | For what was the State of Athens when, during the great Peloponnesian war, she fell under the unjust domination of the thirty tyrants? |
| 14988 | For what-- can such a man be disturbed by fear? |
| 14988 | For whence comes piety, or from whom has religion been derived? |
| 14988 | For who does not see this, that an appetite is the best sauce? |
| 14988 | For who that fears either pain or death, the one of which is always present, the other always impending, can be otherwise than miserable? |
| 14988 | For whom, then, will any one presume to say that the world was made? |
| 14988 | For why should I entreat him to be propitious? |
| 14988 | For why should a woman be disabled from inheriting property? |
| 14988 | For, in the first place, what are the pleasures of which we are deprived by that dreadful thing, blindness? |
| 14988 | For, with respect to him what better authority can we cite than Plato? |
| 14988 | From what would you derive Vejupiter and Vulcan? |
| 14988 | From whence arose those five forms,[83] of which the rest were composed, so aptly contributing to frame the mind and produce the senses? |
| 14988 | Granting, then, everything to be made of atoms, what advantage is that to your argument? |
| 14988 | Had there not been danger, we should say, who would have applied to you? |
| 14988 | Has it not even entered the heavens? |
| 14988 | Has our entrance at all interrupted any conversation of yours? |
| 14988 | Have I invented this? |
| 14988 | Have they any warts? |
| 14988 | Have they no names? |
| 14988 | Have you any grounds of complaint, then, that she recalls it at her pleasure? |
| 14988 | Have you, then, no commendation at all for any kind of democratical government? |
| 14988 | He determines to be miserable: and can any one determine on anything against his will? |
| 14988 | Here some people talk of moderate grief; but if such be natural, what occasion is there for consolation? |
| 14988 | How can anything of this kind befall one to whom nothing is sudden and unforeseen that can happen to man? |
| 14988 | How can he be brave and undaunted, and hold everything as trifles which can befall a man? |
| 14988 | How can it be right that you should voluntarily grieve, rather than take the trouble of acquiring what you want to have? |
| 14988 | How can that divine sense of the firmament be preserved in so rapid a motion? |
| 14988 | How comes it that no one is in love with a deformed young man, or a handsome old one? |
| 14988 | How could the Gods err? |
| 14988 | How could the air, fire, water, and earth pay obedience and submit to the will of the architect? |
| 14988 | How do the beasts live in the fields and in the forests? |
| 14988 | How is it that the very first moment that I choose I can form representations of them in my mind? |
| 14988 | How is it that they come to me, even in my sleep, without being called or sought after? |
| 14988 | How is it when some things do of themselves prevent your grieving at them? |
| 14988 | How much more reasonable is the doctrine of the Stoics, whom you censure? |
| 14988 | How shall we account for this? |
| 14988 | How so? |
| 14988 | How was it with T. Altibutius? |
| 14988 | How we are to behave in bed? |
| 14988 | How, then, can a life be pleasant without prudence and temperance? |
| 14988 | How, then, can we conceive this to be a Deity that makes no use of reason, and is not endowed with any virtue? |
| 14988 | How, therefore, can they be those persons? |
| 14988 | I desire, therefore, to know, Balbus, why this Providence of yours was idle for such an immense space of time? |
| 14988 | I perceive your gradations from happiness to virtue, and from virtue to reason; but how do you come from reason to human form? |
| 14988 | I should be glad to be confuted; for what am I endeavoring at but to clear up truth in every question? |
| 14988 | I would inquire of him which of his family the nephew of Africanus''s brother was like? |
| 14988 | I? |
| 14988 | If I ask, why? |
| 14988 | If I have not faculties for knowing all that I could desire to know, will you not even allow me to make use of those which I have? |
| 14988 | If a just man and a virtuous man is bound to obey the laws, I ask, what laws do you mean? |
| 14988 | If any sentiments, indeed, are communicated without obscurity, what is there that Velleius can understand and Cotta not? |
| 14988 | If he never heard a lecture on these Democritean principles, what lectures did he ever hear? |
| 14988 | If it is not the same, then why did she make the world mortal, and not everlasting, like Plato''s God? |
| 14988 | If it were not so, why should we pray to or adore them? |
| 14988 | If it were not so, why would not a bull become enamored of a mare, or a horse of a cow? |
| 14988 | If it were true, what occasion was there to come so gradually to it? |
| 14988 | If the Gods can exist without corporeal sense, and if there can be a mind without a body, why did he annex a mind to water? |
| 14988 | If the human mind were a Deity, how could it be ignorant of any thing? |
| 14988 | If there are Gods, are nymphs also Goddesses? |
| 14988 | If there be no such thing as a Deity, what is there better than man, since he only is possessed of reason, the most excellent of all things? |
| 14988 | If these are Deities, which we worship and regard as such, why are not Serapis and Isis[255] placed in the same rank? |
| 14988 | If they are Goddesses, are Pans and Satyrs in the same rank? |
| 14988 | If you did not deify one as well as the other, what will become of Ino? |
| 14988 | If you suppose that wisdom governs the State, is it not as well that this wisdom should reside in one monarch as in many nobles? |
| 14988 | If, then, honor and riches have no value, what is there else to be afraid of? |
| 14988 | If, therefore, she neglects whole nations, is it not very probable that she neglects all mankind? |
| 14988 | In afflictions, in labor, in danger? |
| 14988 | In short, how is he happy? |
| 14988 | In the first place, therefore, I ask you, Where is the habitation of your Deity? |
| 14988 | In what manner? |
| 14988 | In what other parts to the north or the south, or where the sun rises and sets, will your names ever be heard? |
| 14988 | In what respect are they superior to these ideas? |
| 14988 | In what was Epicurus happier, living in his own country, than Metrodorus, who lived at Athens? |
| 14988 | In what way, said Lælius, are you going to make me again support your argument? |
| 14988 | In what, therefore, can it be defective, since it is perfect? |
| 14988 | In which, how could I have acted if I had not been consul at the time? |
| 14988 | Is anger inflamed? |
| 14988 | Is any country of barbarians more uncivilized or desolate than India? |
| 14988 | Is he deprived of eyes? |
| 14988 | Is he destitute of children? |
| 14988 | Is he not involved in a very great error? |
| 14988 | Is it because the mere separation of the soul and body can not be effected without pain? |
| 14988 | Is it because you can not be liberal without pity? |
| 14988 | Is it for beasts? |
| 14988 | Is it in your innumerable worlds, some of which are rising, some falling, at every moment of time? |
| 14988 | Is it not easier, then, to find one man of such a spirit as we are inquiring after, than to meet with a whole city of such men? |
| 14988 | Is it not sufficient, if it is not disagreeable? |
| 14988 | Is it possible that you should attain any human applause or glory that is worth the contending for? |
| 14988 | Is it the contempt of honors? |
| 14988 | Is it the same man who calls pain the greatest of all evils? |
| 14988 | Is not a dog like a wolf? |
| 14988 | Is not the decree of the senate concerning Vatienus still subsisting? |
| 14988 | Is not the temple, built by Posthumius in honor of Castor and Pollux, to be seen in the Forum? |
| 14988 | Is not this the case with the people everywhere? |
| 14988 | Is poverty the subject? |
| 14988 | Is she not called Leucothea by the Greeks, and Matuta by us? |
| 14988 | Is that sufficient for beings who are supposed to enjoy all good things and the most supreme felicity? |
| 14988 | Is the face itself of use? |
| 14988 | Is there no natural charity in the dispositions of good men? |
| 14988 | Is there, then, anything that a disturbed mind can do better than one which is calm and steady? |
| 14988 | Is this all? |
| 14988 | Is this that Telamon so highly praised By wondering Greece, at whose sight, like the sun, All others with diminish''d lustre shone? |
| 14988 | It is an important question for us, Which has the most appearance of truth? |
| 14988 | It is reported that Cleanthes on that struck his foot on the ground, and repeated a verse out of the Epigonæ: Amphiaraus, hear''st thou this below? |
| 14988 | It may be said, on the other side, Who is so mad as to grieve of his own accord? |
| 14988 | Lastly, if fortitude is ascribed to the Deity, how does it appear? |
| 14988 | Lastly, what have the principal poets and the most learned men published of themselves in their poems and songs? |
| 14988 | Moreover, how can a good man avoid referring all his actions and all his feelings to the one standard of whether or not it is laudable? |
| 14988 | Moreover, who can think anything in human affairs of brilliant importance who has penetrated this starry empire of the gods? |
| 14988 | Must I now seek for arguments to refute this doctrine seriously? |
| 14988 | Must not the mind, then, when it is puffed up, or distended, be out of order? |
| 14988 | Must we conclude that some Deity appoints and directs these ebbings and flowings to certain fixed times? |
| 14988 | Must we not attribute prudence to a Deity? |
| 14988 | Nay, more; is not the whole of heaven( not to dwell on particulars) almost filled with the offspring of men? |
| 14988 | No beast has more sagacity than an elephant; yet where can you find any of a larger size? |
| 14988 | Nothing is more true, and he says very appropriately, What, are you sane, who at this rate lament? |
| 14988 | Now imagine a Democritus, a Pythagoras, and an Anaxagoras; what kingdom, what riches, would you prefer to their studies and amusements? |
| 14988 | Now what made these men so easy, but their persuasion that grief and lamentation was not becoming in a man? |
| 14988 | Now who that is acquainted with these instances can doubt that this motion of the mind is altogether in opinion and voluntary? |
| 14988 | Now, do you understand what is meant by quasi- body and quasi- blood? |
| 14988 | Now, does it not appear to you that he is here placing the whole of a happy life in virtue alone? |
| 14988 | Now, in what sense do you say there is nothing better than the world? |
| 14988 | Now, let our wise man be considered as protecting the republic; what can be more excellent than such a character? |
| 14988 | Now, that very warlike anger, which is of such service in war, what is the use of it to him when he is at home with his wife, children, and family? |
| 14988 | Now, what disorders can be worse to the body than these two distempers of the mind( for I overlook others), weakness and desire? |
| 14988 | Now, what ignominy can a wise man be affected with( for it is of such a one that I am speaking) who can be guilty of nothing which deserves it? |
| 14988 | Now, what were these inventions? |
| 14988 | Of what use is reason to him? |
| 14988 | Of what value is this philosophy, which, like old women and illiterate men, attributes everything to fate? |
| 14988 | On the other side, what disgrace, what ignominy, would he not submit to that he might avoid pain, when persuaded that it was the greatest of evils? |
| 14988 | Or are they free from imperfections? |
| 14988 | Or can any one be angry without a perturbation of mind? |
| 14988 | Or did Plato''s happiness exceed that of Xenocrates, or Polemo, or Arcesilas? |
| 14988 | Or do you think Æsopus was ever angry when he acted, or Accius was so when he wrote? |
| 14988 | Or for the sake of fools? |
| 14988 | Or how can that nature be called animated which neither regards nor performs anything? |
| 14988 | Or how can you, or any one else, be indebted to him who bestows no benefits? |
| 14988 | Or how, if it is in perpetual self- motion, can it be easy and happy? |
| 14988 | Or is it in your atomical corpuscles, which form such excellent works without the direction of any natural power or reason? |
| 14988 | Or is that city to be valued much that banishes all her good and wise men? |
| 14988 | Or the relations and sons of many other excellent men, whose names there is no occasion to mention? |
| 14988 | Or was Theseus in a passion when he seized on the horns of the Marathonian bull? |
| 14988 | Or were these things made, as you almost assert, by God for the sake of men? |
| 14988 | Or what is there that had a beginning which will not have an end? |
| 14988 | Or what old woman is now to be found so weak and ignorant as to stand in fear of those infernal monsters which once so terrified mankind? |
| 14988 | Or what religion did Prodicus the Chian leave to men, who held that everything beneficial to human life should be numbered among the Gods? |
| 14988 | Or who can think anything connected with mankind long who has learned to estimate the nature of eternity? |
| 14988 | Or would we rather imitate Epicurus? |
| 14988 | Or, if uninterrupted, still how do you prove them to be eternal? |
| 14988 | Ought not such authorities to move you? |
| 14988 | Ought we to contemn Attius Navius''s staff, with which he divided the regions of the vine to find his sow? |
| 14988 | Secondly, What motive is it that stirs him from his place, supposing he ever moves? |
| 14988 | Seeing, then, that it is clear that whatever moves itself is eternal, can there be any doubt that the soul is so? |
| 14988 | Shall Amphiaraus and Tryphonius be called Gods? |
| 14988 | Shall I adore, and bend the suppliant knee, Who scorn their power and doubt their deity? |
| 14988 | Shall I call the sun, the moon, or the sky a Deity? |
| 14988 | Shall I immediately crowd all my sails? |
| 14988 | Shall I superficially go over what I said before, that my discourse may have a greater scope? |
| 14988 | Shall Tantalus''unhappy offspring know No end, no close, of this long scene of woe? |
| 14988 | Shall a wise man be afraid of pain? |
| 14988 | Shall men not be able to bear what boys do? |
| 14988 | Shall musicians compose their tunes to their own tastes? |
| 14988 | Shall the Deity, then, have a tongue, and not speak-- teeth, palate, and jaws, though he will have no use for them? |
| 14988 | Shall the happy life of a wise and consistent man succumb to this? |
| 14988 | Shall the industrious husbandman, then, plant trees the fruit of which he shall never see? |
| 14988 | Shall the members which nature has given to the body for the sake of generation be useless to the Deity? |
| 14988 | Shall the world be possessed of every other perfection, and be destitute of this one, which is the most important and valuable of all? |
| 14988 | Shall virtue, then, yield to this? |
| 14988 | Shall we give, therefore, any credit to Pauæstius, when he dissents from his master, Plato? |
| 14988 | Shall we imagine that there is a kind of measure in the soul, into which, as into a vessel, all that we remember is poured? |
| 14988 | Shall we imagine the soul to receive impressions like wax, and memory to be marks of the impressions made on the soul? |
| 14988 | Shall we not then allow the Gods to have these perfections, since we worship the sacred and august images of them? |
| 14988 | Shall we say, then, that madness has its use? |
| 14988 | Shall we, then, prefer determining between them, or shall we return to our subject? |
| 14988 | Shall we, therefore, receive a lame Deity because we have such an account of him? |
| 14988 | Shall, then, a veteran soldier be able to behave in this manner, and shall a wise and learned man not be able? |
| 14988 | She turn''d me out- of- doors; she sends for me back again; Shall I go? |
| 14988 | Should Pythagoras, Socrates, or Plato say to me, Why are you dejected or sad? |
| 14988 | Should it be asked, why not? |
| 14988 | Should you ask what its nature is? |
| 14988 | Socrates, in Xenophon, asks,"Whence had man his understanding, if there was none in the world?" |
| 14988 | Still, you would not be liable to punishment; for who could prove that you had known? |
| 14988 | Suppose that we allow that to be without pain is the chief good? |
| 14988 | Supposing he is so, would his happiness be less perfect if he had not two feet? |
| 14988 | Take away this, and who would be so mad as to spend his life amidst toils and dangers? |
| 14988 | That indeed is absurd; for how shall we form any idea of the bottom, or of the shape or fashion of such a soul as that? |
| 14988 | That of nature? |
| 14988 | The flights and notes of birds? |
| 14988 | Then Lælius asked: But what difference is there, I should like to know, between the one and the many, if justice exists equally in many? |
| 14988 | Then Mucius said: What, then, do you consider, my Lælius, should be our best arguments in endeavoring to bring about the object of your wishes? |
| 14988 | Then Tubero said: I do not mean to disagree with you, Lælius; but, pray, what do you call more important studies? |
| 14988 | Then said Furius, What is it that you are about? |
| 14988 | Therefore, as fear with them, prevailed over grief, can not reason and true philosophy have the same effect with a wise man? |
| 14988 | Therefore, when he had set off the riches of Priam to the best advantage, which had the appearance of a long continuance, what does he add? |
| 14988 | This is not only a weak, but a false, argument; for, first of all, how do you know the opinions of all nations? |
| 14988 | Though_ Sol_( the sun) is so called, you say, because he is_ solus_( single); yet how many suns do theologists mention? |
| 14988 | Thus reasons Carneades; not with any design to destroy the existence of the Gods( for what would less become a philosopher? |
| 14988 | Thy aid, O Venus, why should I invoke? |
| 14988 | To judge whom? |
| 14988 | To what length now will not anger go? |
| 14988 | To whom is owing that knowledge from the entrails of beasts? |
| 14988 | V._ A._ Should this be the case, is it not to be feared that you are dressing up philosophy in false colors? |
| 14988 | Was Romulus, then, think you, king of a barbarous people? |
| 14988 | Was it for the wise? |
| 14988 | Was it, then, an unwise act in him to prefer the liberty of banishment to slavery at home? |
| 14988 | Was there no evil in what afflicted Alcibiades thus? |
| 14988 | We grant you this; but where is the similitude? |
| 14988 | We must drive away this grief of hers: how is that to be done? |
| 14988 | We should assist her, for she looks out for help: Where shall I now apply, where seek support? |
| 14988 | We that are alive, are we not wretched, seeing we must die? |
| 14988 | Were not that the case, why should the Stoics say so much on that question, Whether virtue was abundantly sufficient to a happy life? |
| 14988 | What Hector? |

| 14988 | Will you, notwithstanding that, persist in the defence of such an absurdity? |
| 14988 | Will you, then, invite Telamon to this kind of life to ease his grief? |
| 14988 | With baneful art his dire machine he shapes; From such a God what mortal e''er escapes? |
| 14988 | With regard to animals, do we not see how aptly they are formed for the propagation of their species? |
| 14988 | Would courage, unless it began to get furious, lose its energy? |
| 14988 | Yet what need has a being for the discernment of good and ill who neither has nor can have any ill? |
| 14988 | Yet, for all this, who is so mad as to doubt which of these two men he would rather be? |
| 14988 | You may ask, How the case is in peace? |
| 14988 | You may inquire, perhaps, how? |
| 14988 | You must necessarily confess, indeed, they have none; for what occasion is there for different names if their persons are alike? |
| 14988 | You say it is a great and difficult undertaking: who denies it? |
| 14988 | Your sect, Balbus, frequently ask us how the Gods live, and how they pass their time? |
| 14988 | [ 23] Can this change of abode appear otherwise than great to you? |
| 14988 | [ 24] What was it that Leonidas, their general, said to them? |
| 14988 | [ 258] But if you deify the rainbow, what regard will you pay to the clouds? |
| 14988 | [ 273] What are these frauds, tricks, and stratagems but the effects of reason? |
| 14988 | [ 31] Can we then, despise pain, when we see Hercules himself giving vent to his expressions of agony with such impatience? |
| 14988 | [ 53] Now, is not this inconstancy and mutability of mind enough to deter any one by its own deformity? |
| 14988 | [_ Scipio._ Ought not a farmer] to be acquainted with the nature of plants and seeds? |
| 14988 | _ A._ And who could not on such a subject? |
| 14988 | _ A._ By what means? |
| 14988 | _ A._ Do you take me to be so imbecile as to give credit to such things? |
| 14988 | _ A._ Hitherto you are on my side; I will see to that by- and- by; and, in the mean while, whence are those verses? |
| 14988 | _ A._ How can it, after what I now know? |
| 14988 | _ A._ How comes that to be so easy? |
| 14988 | _ A._ How so? |
| 14988 | _ A._ How so? |
| 14988 | _ A._ In what respect? |
| 14988 | _ A._ More prolix than was necessary? |
| 14988 | _ A._ What is it that you mean, for I do not exactly comprehend you? |
| 14988 | _ A._ What opinion? |
| 14988 | _ A._ What, then? |
| 14988 | _ A._ What, when in torments and on the rack? |
| 14988 | _ A._ What, will you leave me when you have raised my expectations so high? |
| 14988 | _ A._ What? |
| 14988 | _ A._ Why may I not? |
| 14988 | _ A._ Why, I beg? |
| 14988 | _ Lælius._ What examples do you mean? |
| 14988 | _ Lælius._ What senses do you mean? |
| 14988 | _ Lælius._ Wherefore Jupiter? |
| 14988 | _ Lælius._ You mean the model that would be approved by the truly accomplished politician? |
| 14988 | _ M._ And do you think a wise man subject to these? |
| 14988 | _ M._ But what is there of evil in that opinion? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Can you, then, help calling any one miserable who lives ill? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Do you ask how it can? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Do you imagine I am speaking of him as laid on roses and violets? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Do you not, then, perceive how great is the evil from which you have delivered human nature? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Do you perceive, then, how much of the terror of pain you have given up on a small hint? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Do you, then, expect that I am to give you a regular peroration, like the rhetoricians, or shall I forego that art? |
| 14988 | _ M._ How comes that? |
| 14988 | _ M._ In what respect? |
| 14988 | _ M._ It is a misery, then, because an evil? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Then all are miserable? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Then that boasted wisdom is but of small account, if it differs so little from madness? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Then those who have already died, and those who have still got to die, are both miserable? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Well, then, I appeal to you, if the arguments which prove that there is something divine in the souls of men are not equally strong? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What is it that you do say, then? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What occasion have you, then, for my assistance? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What, and to the other perturbations of mind, as fears, lusts, anger? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What, do you not believe them? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What, even greater than infamy? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What, if I should ask you a question, would you not answer? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What, more so than not to have existed at all? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What, then? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What, then? |
| 14988 | _ M._ What, to those who are already dead? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Where, then, are those you call miserable? |
| 14988 | _ M._ Which, then, shall we do? |
| 14988 | _ M._ You do not think, then, that a wise man is subject to grief? |
| 14988 | _ M._ You say, then, that they are so? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ But who was his predecessor? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ Do not you observe that it was the cruelty and pride of one single Tarquin only that made the title of king unpopular among the Romans? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ Do you think that knowledge only fit for a steward? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ How, then, can you doubt what opinion to form on the subject of the Commonwealth? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ Well, in your whole establishment, is there any other master but yourself? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ Well, then, does a mind thus governed and regulated meet your approbation? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ Well, then, what are four centuries in the age of a state or city? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ Well, then, when you are angry, do you permit your anger to triumph over your judgment? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ What do you at home? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ You desire, then, that all the faculties of the mind should submit to a ruling power, and that conscience should reign over them all? |
| 14988 | _ Scipio._ You grant, then, that a state which is entirely in the power of a faction can not justly be entitled a political community? |
| 14988 | and shall a philosopher, master of a much better art, seek to ascertain, not what is most true, but what will please the people? |
| 14988 | and shall custom have such great force, and reason none at all? |
| 14988 | and that all these things assume too melancholy or too cheerful an appearance through our own error? |
| 14988 | and that there is no evil that should be able to overwhelm you, or the suspicion of which should distract you? |
| 14988 | and what is there in this discussion which resembles that poem? |
| 14988 | and what, again, is that prodigious greatness which can give rise to impressions of so many things? |
| 14988 | and whom has it spared? |
| 14988 | can we imagine that Homer, or any other learned man, has ever been in want of pleasure and entertainment for his mind? |
| 14988 | did not the grief of Alcibiades proceed from the defects and evils of the mind? |
| 14988 | did you ever observe anything like the sun, the moon, or the five moving planets? |
| 14988 | do not even the Stoics, who maintain that all fools are mad, make the same inferences? |
| 14988 | do you deny that virtue can possibly be sufficient for a happy life? |
| 14988 | do you imagine Epicurus really meant this, and that he maintained anything so sensual? |
| 14988 | do you imagine that I am going to argue against Brutus? |
| 14988 | do you imagine that a happy life depends on that?" |
| 14988 | do you then call studies lust? |
| 14988 | does every commotion of the mind seem to you to be madness? |
| 14988 | for what is there agreeable in life, when we must night and day reflect that, at some time or other, we must die? |
| 14988 | for what seed could there be of injustice, intemperance, and cowardice, if reason were not laid as the foundation of these vices? |
| 14988 | for who is so weak as to be concerned about them? |
| 14988 | has there not been enough said on bearing poverty? |
| 14988 | have I misrepresented him? |
| 14988 | have you ever seen the Deity himself? |
| 14988 | how eternal? |
| 14988 | in wonder at whom men exclaimed thus: Is this the man surpassing glory raised? |
| 14988 | is it a long time? |
| 14988 | is lust excited? |
| 14988 | is not virtue sufficient to enable us to live as we ought, honestly, commendably, or, in fine, to live well? |
| 14988 | is the contention about the Punic war? |
| 14988 | is there no other way you can know it by?" |
| 14988 | oblige it to converse with itself, and, as far as possible, break off its acquaintance with the body? |
| 14988 | of what use is understanding? |
| 14988 | or Philoctetes? |
| 14988 | or advise him to listen to the music of a water organ rather than to Plato? |
| 14988 | or because the body will admit of a cure, while there is no medicine whatever for the mind? |
| 14988 | or can a man who is occupied by anger avoid being angry? |
| 14988 | or can one who is exposed to any vexation escape being vexed? |
| 14988 | or glorious who is aware of the insignificance of the size of the earth, even in its whole extent, and especially in the portion which men inhabit? |
| 14988 | or he who collected the dispersed inhabitants of the world, and united them in the bonds of social life? |
| 14988 | or he who confined the sounds of the voice, which used to seem infinite, to the marks of a few letters? |
| 14988 | or he who first observed the courses of the planets, their progressive motions, their laws? |
| 14988 | or how is it, if anger is natural, that one person is more inclined to anger than another? |
| 14988 | or how long will he be Hector? |
| 14988 | or if he is under the influence of fear, must he not be fearful? |
| 14988 | or is it because the disorders of the mind are less dangerous than those of the body? |
| 14988 | or is it no vice to disobey reason? |
| 14988 | or is it possible for any other member of the body, when swollen or enlarged, to be in any other than a disordered state? |
| 14988 | or on that of providing counsels for the future, as you, who, by dispelling two mighty perils from our city, have provided for its safety forever? |
| 14988 | or shall I make use of my oars, as if I were just endeavoring to get clear of the harbor? |
| 14988 | or that any one should repent of what he had done in a passion? |
| 14988 | or that the lust of revenge should cease before it has revenged itself? |
| 14988 | or that there are innumerable worlds, some rising and some perishing, in every moment of time? |
| 14988 | or to those who must die? |
| 14988 | or what divine form can be attributed to it? |
| 14988 | or what length of days can be imagined which would be preferable to such a night? |
| 14988 | or what place do they inhabit? |
| 14988 | or what trouble is it to refute these monstrous inventions of the poets and painters? |
| 14988 | or why do we glory in its name? |
| 14988 | or will you deny that any one who you allow lives well must inevitably live happily? |
| 14988 | or, rather, whom has it not wounded? |
| 14988 | said Lælius; or what was the discussion we broke in upon? |
| 14988 | said he,"did you not perceive by our slight repast of yesterday that I had no occasion for money?" |
| 14988 | saith he;"do you think the night can furnish no pleasure?" |
| 14988 | should an affair of such importance be left to the decision of fools, who, by your sect especially, are called madmen? |
| 14988 | should we be under any difficulty? |
| 14988 | that where the praise of riding and hunting is highly esteemed, they who practice these arts decline no pain? |
| 14988 | though he should be deprived of the senses of seeing and hearing? |
| 14988 | to ease his grief, must we mix him a cup of sweet wine, or something of that kind? |
| 14988 | to the birds and beasts?" |
| 14988 | was not Aristides( I had rather instance in the Greeks than ourselves) banished his country for being eminently just? |
| 14988 | what gain is it to die? |
| 14988 | what had not only I myself, but the whole life of man, been without you? |
| 14988 | what is its force? |
| 14988 | what its nature? |
| 14988 | when I write out my speeches after all is over and past, am I then angry while writing? |
| 14988 | where is your own, and what is its character? |
| 14988 | which can recollect the past, foresee the future, and comprehend the present? |
| 14988 | who can admire them? |
| 14988 | who can think they merit a religious adoration? |
| 14988 | who ever disgraced himself either in the actual combat, or even when about to die? |
| 14988 | who ever turned pale? |
| 14988 | who that had been defeated ever drew in his neck to avoid the stroke of death? |
| 14988 | why do n''t you rather take a view of the magnificent temples among which you have arrived? |
| 14988 | why eternal? |
| 11080 | Cnaeus Pompeius himself? |
| 11080 | Come, then,says Aspasia,"suppose she has a better husband than you have, should you then prefer your own husband or hers?" |
| 11080 | Cur clandestinis consiliis nos oppugnant? 11080 For if the man be modest, why should you Attack so good a man? |
| 11080 | I ask you, O Xenophon,says she,"if your neighbour has a better horse than yours is, whether you would prefer your own horse or his?" |
| 11080 | In fact, what have you not sanctioned,--what have you not done? 11080 Or his son, if he could be at home?" |
| 11080 | Suppose a man had given a slave a thing which a slave is by law incapable of receiving, is it on that account the act of the man who received it? 11080 Suppose he has a better farm than you have, which farm, I should like to know, would you prefer to possess?" |
| 11080 | Suppose he has a better wife than you have, would you prefer his wife? |
| 11080 | Suppose she has dresses and other ornaments suited to women, of more value than those which you have, should you prefer your own or hers? |
| 11080 | Tell me, I beg of you, O you wife of Xenophon, if your neighbour has better gold than you have, whether you prefer her gold or your own? |
| 11080 | What are they? |
| 11080 | What would you think if so and so had happened? |
| 11080 | What, does Caius Caesar demand money of me? 11080 What? |
| 11080 | Who are you? |
| 11080 | [ Do you not know] that no one of the party of Pompeius, who is still alive, can, by the Hirtian law, possess any rank? |
| 11080 | and the people voted it with due regularityWhat people? |
| 11080 | ( for what else can I call him? |
| 11080 | --"What is the shape of the world?" |
| 11080 | --"What is the size of the sun?" |
| 11080 | --"Whether the senses may be trusted?" |
| 11080 | --still, who was it most natural to expect would fight against the children of Cnaeus Pompeius? |
| 11080 | Afterwards he will proceed to ask his adversaries--"What would you say if I had done so and so?" |
| 11080 | Again, what king was ever so preposterously impudent as to have all the profits, and kindnesses, and privileges of his kingdom on sale? |
| 11080 | Although, O conscript fathers, how long are we to deliver our opinions as it may please the veterans? |
| 11080 | Although, can one deny a thing to a person who not only does not ask for it, but who even refuses it? |
| 11080 | Although, how is he the master at all? |
| 11080 | Am I embarrassing you? |
| 11080 | Am I inexperienced in state affairs? |
| 11080 | Am I speaking falsely? |
| 11080 | Am I to receive commands from a man who despises the commands of the senate? |
| 11080 | Am I ungrateful? |
| 11080 | And I ask them whether the authors themselves could have clothed their speeches in better Latin? |
| 11080 | And accordingly, what place did you obtain about Caesar''s person after his return from Africa? |
| 11080 | And afterwards he has,--"Stilphonem, inquam, noveras?" |
| 11080 | And afterwards what wickedness, or what crime was there which that traitor abstained from? |
| 11080 | And are we the only people blamed? |
| 11080 | And are you the defenders of the acts of Caesar who overturn his laws? |
| 11080 | And are you then diligent in doing honour to Caesar''s memory? |
| 11080 | And as for that ruined and desperate man, what more hostile decision can be passed upon him than has already been passed by his own friends? |
| 11080 | And as this is the case, do you think that I ought to have no consideration for my own danger? |
| 11080 | And did you place around it abandoned men armed with swords? |
| 11080 | And do we suppose that the orders of the senate, and the words of the ambassadors, will be listened to by this Asiatic gladiator? |
| 11080 | And do you dare taunt me with the name of that man whose friend you admit that I was, and whose assassin you confess yourself? |
| 11080 | And does he venture to look down on any one because of the meanness of his birth, when he has himself children by Fadia? |
| 11080 | And from this arise the questions for decision:"Whether they would have been lost?" |
| 11080 | And how covetous will he be with respect to the money of rich men, when he thirsted for even the blood of poor men? |
| 11080 | And how is it possible to avoid such feet in an oration? |
| 11080 | And how was it, that when you owed forty millions of sesterces on the fifteenth of March, you had ceased to owe them by the first of April? |
| 11080 | And if any one should institute a prosecution against you, and employ that test of old Cassius,"who reaped any advantage from it?" |
| 11080 | And if he obtains that, what is there that he can fear? |
| 11080 | And if his heart And face be seats of shameless impudence, Then what avails your accusation Of one who views all fame with careless eye?" |
| 11080 | And if that is the case,( and I really believe it is,) what then? |
| 11080 | And in what words? |
| 11080 | And is there no extent of calamity by which so faithful a city can satiate you? |
| 11080 | And not only without their knowledge, but even against their will? |
| 11080 | And shall accusations and odium be attempted to be excited against those men who devote all their thoughts to ensuring the safety of the republic? |
| 11080 | And shall we hesitate to call the men at whose hands we feared all these things enemies? |
| 11080 | And so Terence does use both forms, and says,--"Eho, tu cognatum tuum non nôras?" |
| 11080 | And that is of this kind: whether it was right that his mother should be put to death by Orestes, because she had put to death Orestes''s father? |
| 11080 | And then will you think yourself a consular, or a senator, or even a citizen? |
| 11080 | And though nothing could be added to this,( for, indeed, what could he propose more severe or more pitiless?) |
| 11080 | And we see that, even in the play, the very man who said,"What care I though all men should hate my name, So long as fear accompanies their hate?" |
| 11080 | And what a return was that of yours from Narbo? |
| 11080 | And what are we to think of his having ventured to say that, after he had given up his magistracy, he should still be at the city with his army? |
| 11080 | And what can be worse? |
| 11080 | And what is so difficult as, while deciding disputes between many people, to be beloved by all of them? |
| 11080 | And what is this but exhorting young men to be turbulent, seditious, mischievous citizens? |
| 11080 | And what principles of peace can there be with that man who is full of incredible cruelty, and destitute of faith? |
| 11080 | And what reason is there, O you wicked man, for lamenting that Dolabella has been declared an enemy by the senate? |
| 11080 | And what their return is to bring us I know not, but who is there who does not see with how much languor the expectation of it infects our minds? |
| 11080 | And what wages have you paid this rhetorician? |
| 11080 | And what was his home? |
| 11080 | And what was the object of his journey to Brundusium? |
| 11080 | And what would be a greater liberty than to contract even men''s names, so as to make them more suitable to verse? |
| 11080 | And when Scato had saluted him,"What,"said he,"am I to call you?" |
| 11080 | And whence did that suspicion arise? |
| 11080 | And while the fact of the war is in doubt, how can men possibly be zealous about the levies for the army? |
| 11080 | And who are the commanders of those armies? |
| 11080 | And who ever employed such compulsion as the threat of such an injury as to a senator? |
| 11080 | And who of us can forget with what great moderation he behaved during that crisis of the city which ensued after the death of Caesar? |
| 11080 | And with what diligence will he marshal the arguments with which he has provided himself? |
| 11080 | And yet if any one attempts to excite people to the study of oratory, or to assist the youth of the city in that pursuit, should he be blamed? |
| 11080 | And yet who has ever been considered either more conscientious or more agreeable than you? |
| 11080 | And you, O conscript fathers, if you abandon and betray Marcus Brutus, what citizen in the world will you ever distinguish? |
| 11080 | And, in the next place, as rhythm appears one thing and a rhythmical sentence another, what is the difference between them? |
| 11080 | And, when those men have a right of appeal given them, are not the acts of Caesar rescinded? |
| 11080 | Are there five parts of that argumentation which is carried on by ratiocination? |
| 11080 | Are these things a feeble indication of the incredible unanimity of the entire Roman people? |
| 11080 | Are those men depraved and corrupted, who have been persuaded to pursue a most detestable enemy with most righteous war? |
| 11080 | Are those men who propose this acquainted with the constitution of the republic, with the laws of war, with the precedents of our ancestors? |
| 11080 | Are we sending an embassy to our own citizen, to beg him not to attack a general and a colony of the Roman people? |
| 11080 | Are we still to allow any further delay while the ambassadors are on their road to him? |
| 11080 | Are we then, O ye good gods, to resolve to send ambassadors to this man? |
| 11080 | Are we to send ambassadors again? |
| 11080 | Are we waiting till there is not even a vestige of the towns and cities of Asia left? |
| 11080 | Are you ignorant that yesterday was the fourth day of the Roman games in the Circus? |
| 11080 | Are you in your senses? |
| 11080 | Are you not ashamed to dwell so long in that house? |
| 11080 | Are you saying all this of yourself? |
| 11080 | Are you then going now to arrange rewards for those men who have taken arms against Antonius, and to send ambassadors to Antonius? |
| 11080 | Are you waiting for me to prick you more? |
| 11080 | As for us, what concessions did not we make to Cotyla the ambassador of Marcus Antonius? |
| 11080 | At present, I ask, what are the topics of conjecture? |
| 11080 | Because I knew of it beforehand? |
| 11080 | Between what parties? |
| 11080 | But I want to know what you mean, O Calenus? |
| 11080 | But afterwards, when Pompeius joined Caesar with all his heart, what could have been my object in attempting to separate them then? |
| 11080 | But as for this most foul monster, who could endure him, or how could any one endure him? |
| 11080 | But can we be equally safe among Antonius''s piratical crew? |
| 11080 | But do you, O Antonius, dare to say that Caesar, the father, was deceived by me? |
| 11080 | But how could it occur to you to recal to our recollection that you had been educated in the house of Publius Lentulus? |
| 11080 | But how could such a charge ever come into your head? |
| 11080 | But if praise can not allure you to act rightly, still can not even fear turn you away from the most shameful actions? |
| 11080 | But if the leadership of the state were at stake, which I have never coveted, what could be more desirable for me than such conduct on your part? |
| 11080 | But if their own ears are so uncivilised and barbarous, will not the authority of even the most learned men influence them? |
| 11080 | But if unlettered custom is such an artist of euphony, what must we think is required by scientific art and systematic learning? |
| 11080 | But if you disapprove of a wife from Aricia, why do you approve of one from Tusculum? |
| 11080 | But in the most melancholy circumstances what mirth does he not provoke? |
| 11080 | But it is not lawful for any one to lead an army against his country? |
| 11080 | But now why need I vote that they ought to be annulled, when I do not consider that they were ever legally passed? |
| 11080 | But on what did the dispute turn? |
| 11080 | But perhaps we, who are his colleagues, may be the interpreters of the auspices? |
| 11080 | But say you, my speech alienated from me the regard of Pompeius? |
| 11080 | But the manner, also, is inquired into, in what manner, how, and with what design the action was done? |
| 11080 | But under this arch- pirate,( for why should I say tyrant?) |
| 11080 | But was it possible for you to stand for the augurship at a time when Curio was not in Italy? |
| 11080 | But we were caught by this expression of Quintus Fufius;"Shall we not listen to Antonius, even if he retires from Mutina? |
| 11080 | But what a pest, and how great a pest was it which he resisted? |
| 11080 | But what business had he with Apollonia? |
| 11080 | But what does he add? |
| 11080 | But what had Antonius to do at all with Illyricum and with the legions of Vatinius? |
| 11080 | But what is danger? |
| 11080 | But what is it that he has done himself? |
| 11080 | But what is that third decury? |
| 11080 | But what is the state of things now? |
| 11080 | But what is there which is not open for consideration to a wise man, as long as it can be remodelled? |
| 11080 | But what province is there in which that firebrand may not kindle a conflagration? |
| 11080 | But what reason has he for taking so much trouble about them? |
| 11080 | But what shall we say of you? |
| 11080 | But what sort of kindness is it, to have abstained from committing nefarious wickedness? |
| 11080 | But what were the terms of his edict? |
| 11080 | But when he had summoned us all by so severe an edict, why did he not attend himself? |
| 11080 | But when the question is, What can be done? |
| 11080 | But which way did he flee? |
| 11080 | But who are they whom Antonius does consult? |
| 11080 | But who ever knew, or could possibly have known this Gortynian judge? |
| 11080 | But who is there who does not know with what great perfidy both of you treated Dolabella in that business? |
| 11080 | But who says that the estate of Varro at Casinum was ever sold at all? |
| 11080 | But who was ever found before, except Publius Clodius, to find fault with my consulship? |
| 11080 | But whoever heard( and there was no man about whose safety more people were anxious) that any part whatever of Varro''s property had been confiscated? |
| 11080 | But why did you not hold that comitia? |
| 11080 | But why do I argue any more about this law? |
| 11080 | But why do I ask whether you wish this? |
| 11080 | But why do I cite poets of godlike genius? |
| 11080 | But why need I say more? |
| 11080 | But why should I mention individuals? |
| 11080 | But why should I seek to make an impression on you by my speech? |
| 11080 | But why should I talk about vowels? |
| 11080 | But will any one hesitate to call Caesar imperator? |
| 11080 | But will you plead every cause in the same manner, or are there some kind of causes which you will reject? |
| 11080 | But you have dared besides( what is there which you would not dare?) |
| 11080 | But you, who are defending the acts of Caesar, what reason can you give for defending some, and disregarding others? |
| 11080 | But you, who can not deny that you also were distinguished by Caesar, what would you have been if he had not showered so many kindnesses on you? |
| 11080 | But, as it is, who is there who doubts that it was the embassy itself which caused his death? |
| 11080 | But, moreover, if there were anything which were to be feared from Marcus Brutus, would not Pansa perceive it? |
| 11080 | By what evidence could you convict me? |
| 11080 | By what law? |
| 11080 | By what right? |
| 11080 | By what right? |
| 11080 | By whom are they produced and vouched for? |
| 11080 | Caesar wished to drain the marshes: this man has given all Italy to that moderate man Lucius Antonius to distribute.--What? |
| 11080 | Can I, then, appear as cautious and as prudent as I ought to be if I commit myself to a journey so full of enemies and dangers to me? |
| 11080 | Can any one divine beforehand what defect there will be in the auspices, except the man who has already determined to observe the heavens? |
| 11080 | Can any one then fear a man who was as timid as this man in upholding his party, that is, in upholding his own fortunes? |
| 11080 | Can any relationship be nearer than that of one''s country, in which even one''s parents are comprised? |
| 11080 | Can not we see easily from whence it arises that we say_ cum illis_, but we do not say_ cum nobis_, but_ nobiscum_? |
| 11080 | Can the republic then stand, relying wholly on veterans, without a great reinforcement of the youth of the state? |
| 11080 | Can these laws be ratified without the destruction of all other laws? |
| 11080 | Can we then doubt which of these alternatives is the fact? |
| 11080 | Can you deny this, when you interpose every sort of delay calculated to weaken Brutus, and to improve the position of Antonius? |
| 11080 | Can you find one single article in this long speech of mine, to which you trust that you can make any answer? |
| 11080 | Cavalry do I say? |
| 11080 | Charybdis, do I say? |
| 11080 | Come, are you the only people who hate him; and whom he hates? |
| 11080 | Come; suppose he obeys, shall we either be inclined, or shall we be able by any possibility, to treat him as one of our citizens? |
| 11080 | Concealed, do I say? |
| 11080 | Could you, O Dolabella,( it is with great concern that I speak,)--could you, I say, forfeit this dignity with equanimity? |
| 11080 | Cur de perfugis nostris copias comparant inter nos?" |
| 11080 | Decreed, do I say? |
| 11080 | Defending it against whom? |
| 11080 | Did I persuade Caius Trebonius? |
| 11080 | Did he not say, in the hearing of all the people, while sitting in front of the temple of Castor, that no one should remain alive but the conqueror? |
| 11080 | Did he think that it was easiest to disparage me in the senate? |
| 11080 | Did he wish you to make any motion about a supplication? |
| 11080 | Did not the Macedonian Alexander, having begun to perform mighty deeds from his earliest youth, die when he was only in his thirty- third year? |
| 11080 | Did the death of Caesar also put an end to your opinion respecting the auspices? |
| 11080 | Did we not see the deed done before we even suspected that it was going to be done? |
| 11080 | Did you dare to cross that most sacred threshold? |
| 11080 | Did you dare to enter into that house? |
| 11080 | Did you not also desert him in the matter of the septemvirate? |
| 11080 | Did you who wish every one to be safe, wish Catiline to be safe? |
| 11080 | Did you, who were his sister''s son, ever once consult him on the affairs of the republic? |
| 11080 | Do they give a thought to what the majesty of the Roman people and the severity of the senate requires? |
| 11080 | Do we also want interpreters of arms? |
| 11080 | Do we not know then, O Pansa, over what places the authority of Lenti Caesennius, as a septemvir, prevails at present? |
| 11080 | Do you again cry out against my statement? |
| 11080 | Do you call slavery peace? |
| 11080 | Do you dare to call that man a poisoner who has found a remedy against your own poisoning tricks? |
| 11080 | Do you deny it? |
| 11080 | Do you doubt what you are to do? |
| 11080 | Do you love him even now that he is dead? |
| 11080 | Do you never think on these things? |
| 11080 | Do you not know that I am speaking of matters with which I am thoroughly acquainted? |
| 11080 | Do you not perceive, do you not hear, that the adoption of my opinion is demanded by them? |
| 11080 | Do you not see how the forum is crowded? |
| 11080 | Do you not see that all these crimes flow from one source? |
| 11080 | Do you not think, O Conscript fathers, that I should have some regard for my own life? |
| 11080 | Do you recollect that, while you were still clad in the praetexta, you became a bankrupt? |
| 11080 | Do you regret your most illustrious citizens? |
| 11080 | Do you resolve to send ambassadors? |
| 11080 | Do you suppose that he was detained by any melancholy or important occasion? |
| 11080 | Do you suppose that it will continue to glow with the same zeal with which it burnt before to extinguish this common conflagration? |
| 11080 | Do you suppose, O conscript fathers, that he spoke with more violence than he would act? |
| 11080 | Do you then find fault with me? |
| 11080 | Do you think either those consuls or those other most illustrious men deserving of blame? |
| 11080 | Do you think that Antonius, if he had the power, would be more merciful in Italy than Dolabella has proved in Asia? |
| 11080 | Do you think that I am so completely made of iron as to be able unmoved to meet him, or look at him? |
| 11080 | Do you think that I shall have no occasion to fear plots then? |
| 11080 | Do you think that he would have been willing to deserve even immortality, at the price of being feared in consequence of his licentious use of arms? |
| 11080 | Do you think that the power of even the Gracchi was greater than that of this gladiator will be? |
| 11080 | Do you think, O conscript fathers, that you have induced the Roman people to approve of the sending ambassadors? |
| 11080 | Do you think, then, that there is never to be a beginning of our endeavours to recover our freedom? |
| 11080 | Do you wish then that he should again appear to be the only person stripped of his authority, and as it were banished by the senate? |
| 11080 | Do you, O conscript fathers, grieve that these armies of the Roman people have been slain? |
| 11080 | Do you, then, shut me up with the other leaders in the partnership in this design, as in the Trojan horse? |
| 11080 | Does he dare to make mention of the Luperci? |
| 11080 | Does he mean what a man does who is invested with any dignity? |
| 11080 | Does he then retire from Mutina? |
| 11080 | Does he understand Latin? |
| 11080 | Does he-- which is most important-- does he know anything about our laws and manners? |
| 11080 | Does it appear a trifling matter, that he confesses himself a partner with Dolabella in all his atrocities? |
| 11080 | Does it become virtuous men to do everything which it is in their power to do? |
| 11080 | Does not even a triumph put an end to the war? |
| 11080 | Even if he were willing to do so himself, do you think that his brother Lucius would permit him? |
| 11080 | Even if the judges were inclined to make such an addition to the law, would the people permit it? |
| 11080 | Everything, in short, which we have seen since that time,( and what misfortune is there that we have not seen?) |
| 11080 | F._ Are we then to derive arguments from all these topics? |
| 11080 | F._ By what means is belief produced? |
| 11080 | F._ Can we, then, always preserve that order of arrangement which we desire to adopt? |
| 11080 | F._ How, then, do you divide these two heads? |
| 11080 | F._ How, then, do you explain them? |
| 11080 | F._ In what does the power of the orator consist? |
| 11080 | F._ In what manner? |
| 11080 | F._ Into how many parts is the whole system of speaking divided? |
| 11080 | F._ Is there nothing remaining to be said about the orator himself? |
| 11080 | F._ Since, then, the first business of the orator is discovery, what is he to look for? |
| 11080 | F._ Since, then, you have thus explained all the power of an orator, what have you to tell me about the rules for an oration? |
| 11080 | F._ The end of the oration remains to be spoken of by you; and that is included in the peroration, which I wish to hear you explain? |
| 11080 | F._ What are the arguments which you say belong to the cause? |
| 11080 | F._ What are the different kinds of testimony? |
| 11080 | F._ What are they? |
| 11080 | F._ What comes next? |
| 11080 | F._ What divisions, then, are there in this part of the argument? |
| 11080 | F._ What do you mean by those topics which exist in the thing itself? |
| 11080 | F._ What do you mean by topics? |
| 11080 | F._ What have you then to say about the cause? |
| 11080 | F._ What is an argument? |
| 11080 | F._ What next? |
| 11080 | F._ What next? |
| 11080 | F._ What next? |
| 11080 | F._ What objects shall the orator propose to himself in these three kinds of oratory? |
| 11080 | F._ What, on the other hand, is the person accused to do? |
| 11080 | F._ What, then, comes next? |
| 11080 | F._ What? |
| 11080 | F._ What? |
| 11080 | F._ What? |
| 11080 | F._ Why then do you choose this place to explain the different kinds of disputes? |
| 11080 | For even if he himself was calculated to be a slave, why should he impose a master on us? |
| 11080 | For even they themselves do not wish to be feared by us.--Still, how will they receive my severity? |
| 11080 | For example:--"If he is a worthless fellow, why are you intimate with him? |
| 11080 | For how can a man be supported by the unanimity of his citizens, who has no city at all? |
| 11080 | For how can we be free from fear and danger while menaced by such covetousness and audacity? |
| 11080 | For how could any one think of such a thing? |
| 11080 | For how long are we to trust to the prudence of an individual to repel so important, so cruel, and so nefarious a war? |
| 11080 | For how long are you going to attack Marseilles? |
| 11080 | For how long will you keep on saying that you are desirous of peace? |
| 11080 | For how was it that Axilla was made Ala, except by the flight of the larger letter? |
| 11080 | For if he were not one, by what right could he himself have tempted the cavalry to abandon the consul? |
| 11080 | For in what city, when taken by storm, did Hannibal even behave with such ferocity as Antonius did in Parma, which he filched by surprise? |
| 11080 | For in what country of barbarians was there ever so foul and cruel a tyrant as Antonius, escorted by the arms of barbarians, has proved in this city? |
| 11080 | For is it once only that I have defended peace? |
| 11080 | For is the dissension between you and me a trifling one, or on a trifling subject? |
| 11080 | For on what principle or by what means can an army be retained by a man who has not been invested with any military command? |
| 11080 | For to whom are we sending ambassadors? |
| 11080 | For what can be more unreasonable than for us to pass resolutions about peace without the knowledge of those men who wage the war? |
| 11080 | For what course could my industry pursue without forensic causes, without laws, without courts of justice? |
| 11080 | For what do you mean? |
| 11080 | For what does not apply to him? |
| 11080 | For what else can we call him, when the senate decides that extraordinary honours are to be devised for those men who are leading armies against him? |
| 11080 | For what else is Antonius? |
| 11080 | For what expression is there in those letters which is not full of humanity and service and benevolence? |
| 11080 | For what had that house ever beheld except what was modest, except what proceeded from the purest principles and from the most virtuous practice? |
| 11080 | For what has he done? |
| 11080 | For what is a"tumult,"but such a violent disturbance that an unusual alarm is engendered by it? |
| 11080 | For what is more shameful than for a man to undertake the conduct of legal and civil disputes, while ignorant of the statutes and of civil law? |
| 11080 | For what is so different or remote from severity as courtesy? |
| 11080 | For what is the difference between a man who has advised an action, and one who has approved of it? |
| 11080 | For what is the life of a man unless by a recollection of bygone transactions it is united to the times of his predecessors? |
| 11080 | For what need is there for an instance? |
| 11080 | For what other pretence did he allege? |
| 11080 | For what other sort of defence deserves praise? |
| 11080 | For what prosecutor will be found insane enough to be willing, after the defendant has been condemned, to expose himself to the fury of a hired mob? |
| 11080 | For what reason can there be, O conscript fathers, why we should not wish him to arrive at the highest honours at as early an age as possible? |
| 11080 | For what single man has ever been braver, what single man has ever been more devoted to the republic than the whole of the Martial legion? |
| 11080 | For what soldier was there who did not see her at Brundusium? |
| 11080 | For what title can I more suitably bestow on Pansa? |
| 11080 | For what was more advantageous for the Thebans than for the Lacedaemonians to be put down? |
| 11080 | For what was the meaning of the shouts of the innumerable crowd of citizens collected at the gladiatorial games? |
| 11080 | For when will the consul arrive? |
| 11080 | For where can we find any one who is chaster than this young man? |
| 11080 | For who can be happier than those men whom you boast of having now expelled and driven from the city? |
| 11080 | For who ever heard my name mentioned as an accomplice in that most glorious action? |
| 11080 | For who ever seeks for honour, or glory, or praise, or any kind of credit as earnestly as he flees from ignominy, infamy, contumely, and disgrace? |
| 11080 | For who ever was a more bitter enemy to another than Caesar was to Deiotarus? |
| 11080 | For who is there at this day to whom it is an object that that law should stand? |
| 11080 | For who, when the senate recals him and sounds a retreat, will be eager to engage in battle? |
| 11080 | For why should I put myself in the way of your audacity? |
| 11080 | For why should I speak of Trebellius? |
| 11080 | For why should I speak of the whole Roman people? |
| 11080 | Had so good a gladiator as you retired from business so early? |
| 11080 | Has any one had a right of entering the forum? |
| 11080 | Has he assumed all this credit to himself, because as a mumillo at Mylasa he slew the Thracian, his friend? |
| 11080 | Has he conquered for himself alone? |
| 11080 | Has he seen this truth as a boy, and when he has advanced in age will he cease to see it? |
| 11080 | Has not Antonius been declared an enemy by such acts? |
| 11080 | Has the manner of inquiry any divisions? |
| 11080 | Has then the Roman people adopted this law? |
| 11080 | Have I been deceived? |
| 11080 | Have I not at all times laboured for tranquillity? |
| 11080 | Have not I also at all times pronounced Ventidius an enemy, when others wished to call him a tribune of the people? |
| 11080 | Have they no natural idea of what is useless? |
| 11080 | Have they no senses of their own to be guided by? |
| 11080 | Have we anything of the sort? |
| 11080 | Have we received any other doctrine from our fathers? |
| 11080 | Have we removed them, or have we rather ratified a law which was passed in the comitia centunata? |
| 11080 | Have we then said enough up to this point? |
| 11080 | Have you any secret fear that you yourself may appear to have had some connexion with that crime? |
| 11080 | Have you dared to write that it is a matter of rejoicing that Trebonius has suffered punishment? |
| 11080 | Have you not before your eyes those ornaments of the camp of Marcus Antonius? |
| 11080 | Have you not repeatedly had thinner houses than yesterday? |
| 11080 | He who was the first man who turned aside the savage and disgraceful cruelty of Antonius, not only from our throats, but from our limbs and bowels? |
| 11080 | He, then, is his uncle, are you his uncles too, you who voted with him? |
| 11080 | House, do you say? |
| 11080 | How can you offer conditions to, or expect equity from, or send an embassy to, or, in short, have anything in common with, this gladiator? |
| 11080 | How could I justify myself except by showing that I had made some progress in those studies? |
| 11080 | How could a man be murdered in a much frequented place? |
| 11080 | How is he to get at him? |
| 11080 | How is it that the senate has never yet been so full as to enable you to find one single person to agree with your sentiments? |
| 11080 | How is it that the war has been protracted as long as this, if it be not by procrastination and delay? |
| 11080 | How is it that you have never once since the first of January been of the same opinion with him who asks you your opinion first? |
| 11080 | How long should I have been likely to keep them? |
| 11080 | How long, then, is that man, who has surpassed all enemies in wickedness, to be spared the name of enemy? |
| 11080 | How many parts of an oration are there? |
| 11080 | How often has he placed guards to prevent you from entering? |
| 11080 | How often has his father turned you out of his house? |
| 11080 | How should we be able to endure him, if he had fought in this forum before the eyes of you all? |
| 11080 | How then did Dolabella manage to arrive there? |
| 11080 | How were they verified by you? |
| 11080 | How will Capua, which at the present time feels like a second Rome, approve of this design of yours? |
| 11080 | However what answer would you make if I were to deny that I ever sent those letters to you? |
| 11080 | However, grant that it was a kindness, since no greater kindness could be received from a robber, still in what point can you call me ungrateful? |
| 11080 | However, what was the kindness that you did me? |
| 11080 | I ask now, why all on a sudden he became so gentle in the senate, after having been so fierce in his edicts? |
| 11080 | I ask you then, whether you are ignorant what day this is? |
| 11080 | I ask you yourself, O Publius Servilius, did your colleague send you any letters concerning that most lamentable battle of Pharsalia? |
| 11080 | I ask, therefore, would you rather have him like Brutus or like Antonius? |
| 11080 | I ask, was it not the rhythm which caused it? |
| 11080 | I come now to Caius Caesar, O conscript fathers; if he had not existed, which of us could have been alive now? |
| 11080 | I entreat of you, O conscript fathers, which of you fails to see this which Fortune herself, who is called blind, sees? |
| 11080 | If Caesar himself were alive, could he, do you imagine, defend his own acts more vigorously than that most gallant man Hirtius defends them? |
| 11080 | If I escape all these great dangers too, do you think my return will be completely safe? |
| 11080 | If he is an excellent man, why do you accuse him?" |
| 11080 | If he was merciful, why was he not merciful to his own relations? |
| 11080 | If he was severe, why was he not so to every one? |
| 11080 | If our ambassadors are to beg it, what is it that we are afraid of? |
| 11080 | If that peace is to be received by others, why do we not wait to be entreated for it? |
| 11080 | If the different kinds are common to each kind of oratory, what are they? |
| 11080 | If the question is, what is the place of this rhythm? |
| 11080 | If then Caius Caesar be an enemy, why does the consul submit no motion to the senate? |
| 11080 | If there is a difference, then what is the difference, and why is the rhythm less visible in a speech than in a verse? |
| 11080 | If they are false, why are they ratified? |
| 11080 | If they are parricides, why are they always named by you, both in this assembly and before the Roman people, with a view to do them honour? |
| 11080 | If they are true, why are they sold? |
| 11080 | If this had happened to you at supper amid those vast drinking cups of yours, who would not have thought it scandalous? |
| 11080 | If this law be abrogated, do you think that the acts of Caesar are maintained? |
| 11080 | If we are asked, What is the circumstance which causes pleasure? |
| 11080 | If you had no shame before the municipal towns, had you none even before your veteran army? |
| 11080 | In the name of the immortal gods, can you interpret these facts, and see what is their purport? |
| 11080 | In truth, what measure except the death of Caesar could possibly have been any relief to your indigent and insolvent condition? |
| 11080 | In what acts did the third consulship of Cnaeus Pompeius consist? |
| 11080 | In what could such a suspicion, or rather such gossip, have originated? |
| 11080 | In whose honour? |
| 11080 | Is Marcus Antonius desirous of peace? |
| 11080 | Is he even acquainted with any of the citizens? |
| 11080 | Is he obeying the senate? |
| 11080 | Is he qualified by birth and station to be a judge? |
| 11080 | Is his language finer than Plato''s? |
| 11080 | Is it becoming to us to beg this by means of ambassadors? |
| 11080 | Is it merely a case of my favouring this man, and you that man? |
| 11080 | Is it not better to be dumb, than to say what no one can understand? |
| 11080 | Is it not so? |
| 11080 | Is it not sufficient that thanks should not be given to men who have well earned them, by men who are ignorant of the very nature of virtue? |
| 11080 | Is it not then better to perish a thousand times than to be unable to live in one''s own city without a guard of armed men? |
| 11080 | Is it possible for there to be peace with Antonius? |
| 11080 | Is it possible that you should not approve of the Bruti, and should approve of Antonius? |
| 11080 | Is it possible then for eloquence to escape notice, or does that which a man conceals cease to exist? |
| 11080 | Is it so? |
| 11080 | Is not even that war? |
| 11080 | Is not that war? |
| 11080 | Is not this destroying all companionship in life, destroying the means by which absent friends converse together? |
| 11080 | Is not this the way in which they argue? |
| 11080 | Is not this war? |
| 11080 | Is the middle of Janus a client of Lucius Antonius? |
| 11080 | Is then Lucius Antonius the patron of the Roman people? |
| 11080 | Is there any comparison? |
| 11080 | Is there any doubt whether we wish our oration to be tolerable only, or also admirable? |
| 11080 | Is there then any one who is afraid to call those men enemies, whose wickedness he admits to have surpassed even the inhumanity of the Carthaginians? |
| 11080 | Is this encouraging the spirit of the soldiers, or damping their virtue? |
| 11080 | Is this now a law, or rather an abrogation of all laws? |
| 11080 | Its kinds are these:--"Can you fear this man, and not fear that one?" |
| 11080 | Look at that gilt statue of him on the left what is the inscription upon it? |
| 11080 | Moreover, what is the meaning of"doing an insult?" |
| 11080 | Moreover, who ever took more pains to oppose Isocrates? |
| 11080 | Moreover, will he reconcile himself to, or look mercifully on the province of Gaul, by which he has been excluded and rejected? |
| 11080 | Moreover, you even sought to move his pity; you threw yourself at his feet as a suppliant; begging for what? |
| 11080 | Moreover, you used to complain of that former master, who was a man; what do you think you will do when your master is a beast? |
| 11080 | Must one apply a torch to you to waken you while you are sleeping over such an important affair? |
| 11080 | Must we not be defeated for everlasting, in consequence of our own counsels? |
| 11080 | Need I say more? |
| 11080 | Need I say more? |
| 11080 | Need I say more? |
| 11080 | None of what is harsh, cramped, lame, or superfluous? |
| 11080 | Nor should I much like to say_ armûm judicium_, though the expression occurs in that same poet,--"Nihilne ad te de judicio armûm accidit?" |
| 11080 | Now that they know this resolution of Antonius, do you think that Aulus Hirtius and Caius Pansa, the consuls, can hesitate to pass over to Antonius? |
| 11080 | Now what peace, O Marcus Lepidus, can exist with this man? |
| 11080 | Now who is there who does not see that by this decree Antonius has been adjudged to be an enemy? |
| 11080 | Now, in the first place, what is the meaning of"worthy?" |
| 11080 | Now, what can be more reasonable than this demand? |
| 11080 | Of what assistance? |
| 11080 | Oh why Do you this youth with these sad arts destroy? |
| 11080 | On what day was the senate ever more joyful than on that day? |
| 11080 | Or am I to think that he has anything in common with the senate, who besieges a general of the Roman people in spite of the prohibition of the senate? |
| 11080 | Or did he wish to contend with me in a rivalry of eloquence? |
| 11080 | Or if he did perceive it, would not he, too, be anxious about it? |
| 11080 | Or if you see a race taking place for the acquisition of honours, will you summon all the wicked men you can find to your banner? |
| 11080 | Or may we be content with those which have been delivered by them? |
| 11080 | Or those men who abstain from taking arms on either side? |
| 11080 | Or was a matter of such importance under discussion, that it was desirable for even sick men to be brought down? |
| 11080 | Or what can deserve greater blame than doing that which is unlawful? |
| 11080 | Or what is the meaning of this canvassing which that most wise and dignified citizen, Lucius Caesar, has introduced into the senate? |
| 11080 | Or will he disregard the most ancient laws of the Athenians? |
| 11080 | Otherwise how will he be able to stop and make his stand on those arguments which are good and suited to his purpose? |
| 11080 | Ought I not day and night to think of your freedom and of the safety of the republic? |
| 11080 | Ought I not to be provident for the welfare of my fellow- citizens? |
| 11080 | Ought I not to complain of the ruin of the republic, lest I should appear ungrateful towards you? |
| 11080 | Ought we then to send ambassadors to this man, or legions? |
| 11080 | Ought you not to be put in confinement? |
| 11080 | P._ What? |
| 11080 | Pecunia superabat? |
| 11080 | Plancus, the partner of your counsels? |
| 11080 | Shall Decimus Brutus submit to the kingly power of a man who is wicked and impious? |
| 11080 | Shall I be able in that case to reach Ariminum in safety? |
| 11080 | Shall I be able to bear the sight of Lucius Antonius? |
| 11080 | Shall I be able to do the same on the roads of the Apennines? |
| 11080 | Shall I call them Cascas, or Ahalas? |
| 11080 | Shall I hesitate to call Caesar imperator, a man born for the republic by the express kindness of the gods? |
| 11080 | Shall we believe it possible for peace to be made with him? |
| 11080 | Shall we listen to the conditions which he proposes? |
| 11080 | Shall we not, even if he declares that he will submit himself to the authority of the senate?" |
| 11080 | Shall we then examine your conduct from the time when you were a boy? |
| 11080 | Shall we yield to him? |
| 11080 | Should we rather call your camp the senate? |
| 11080 | Should you then, if you had lived in those times, have thought him a hasty or a cruel citizen? |
| 11080 | Suppose I agree, shall I by so doing countenance the introduction of the practice of canvassing into the senate house? |
| 11080 | Suppose I vote against it, shall I appear as if I were in the comitia to have refused an honour to a man who is one of my greatest friends? |
| 11080 | Suppose it be a base thing? |
| 11080 | Suppose it be a mischievous thing? |
| 11080 | Suppose it be absolutely unlawful to do it? |
| 11080 | Suppose that proposition causes delay in the pursuit of Dolabella? |
| 11080 | Suppose the republic had furnished that excellent man with all its treasures and resources, what good man would have disapproved of it? |
| 11080 | That is a simple statement which contains in itself one plain question, in this way--"Shall we declare war against the Corinthians, or not?" |
| 11080 | The others say,"Why should I rather read the translation than the original?" |
| 11080 | The question in the conjectural examination is the same as that submitted to the judges,"Did he murder him, or not?" |
| 11080 | The question is,"Whether he had any right to do so?" |
| 11080 | The question is--"Shall the demurrer be allowed or not?" |
| 11080 | The question is--"Whether he attacked the majesty of the people or not?" |
| 11080 | The question to be decided is,"Whether it was one property?" |
| 11080 | The thing to be inquired into is-- To whom does it rightfully belong? |
| 11080 | The word_ meridiem_ itself, why is it not_ medidiem_? |
| 11080 | Then comes,"Nor any fear which an enemy threatens"What then? |
| 11080 | Those who are desirous to deliver Decimus Brutus from siege? |
| 11080 | Under what auspices could I, an augur, take those fasces? |
| 11080 | Under what law did they do so? |
| 11080 | V. Do you think, then, O Marcus Lepidus, that the Antonii will be to the republic such citizens as she will find Pompeius? |
| 11080 | V. What reason had he then for endeavouring, with such bitter hostility, to force me into the senate yesterday? |
| 11080 | Very likely it may be right, but were our ancestors ignorant of all this, or was it usage that gave them this liberty? |
| 11080 | Was I not to plead against interest acquired not by hopes of virtue, but by the disgrace of youth? |
| 11080 | Was I not to plead against one with whom I was quite I unconnected, in behalf of an intimate acquaintance, of a dear friend? |
| 11080 | Was I the instigator whom Lucius Tillius Cimber followed? |
| 11080 | Was I the only person who was absent? |
| 11080 | Was he victorious without my assistance? |
| 11080 | Was it because a tribune of the people announced that there had been an ill- omened flash of lightning seen? |
| 11080 | Was it possible for men not to form their opinion of each individual as he deserved? |
| 11080 | Was it that day on which you, having travelled all through the colonies where the veterans were settled, returned escorted by a band of armed men? |
| 11080 | Was then Hannibal an enemy, and is Antonius a citizen? |
| 11080 | Was there any one to whom he was more attached? |
| 11080 | Was this gift, too, O you most audacious of men, found among Caesar''s papers? |
| 11080 | Well, have they not yielded? |
| 11080 | Well, need I give any more instances? |
| 11080 | Well, suppose I did; was I to be the only sorrowful person in the city, when every one else was in such delight? |
| 11080 | Well? |
| 11080 | Were any exiles restored? |
| 11080 | Were any immunities granted? |
| 11080 | Were these the men to seek counsel from the ancestors of others rather than from their own? |
| 11080 | Were you at Narbo to be sick over the tables of your entertainers, while Dolabella was fighting your battles in Spain? |
| 11080 | What Charybdis was ever so voracious? |
| 11080 | What am I to say is the reason why they forbid us to say_ nôsse, judicâsse_, and enjoin us to use_ novisse_ and_ judicavisse_? |
| 11080 | What am I to say? |
| 11080 | What am I to think? |
| 11080 | What are ruinous counsels? |
| 11080 | What are we to say if an old primitive picture of few colours delights some men more than this highly finished one? |
| 11080 | What are we to say of compound words? |
| 11080 | What are your intentions? |
| 11080 | What atrocity did Tarquinius ever commit equal to the innumerable acts of the sort which Antonius has done and is still doing? |
| 11080 | What breath reeking of wine, what insolence, what threatening language do you not think there will be there? |
| 11080 | What camp is to be chosen for the conference? |
| 11080 | What can be more different? |
| 11080 | What can be more foul than that beast? |
| 11080 | What can be said strong enough for such enormous impudence? |
| 11080 | What can be the meaning of this argument of yours, O Calenus? |
| 11080 | What can go beyond this? |
| 11080 | What can he mean? |
| 11080 | What can we do? |
| 11080 | What can we do? |
| 11080 | What censor was ever so honoured? |
| 11080 | What could be more foul than this? |
| 11080 | What council did you consult? |
| 11080 | What deed was ever more deservedly recommended to the everlasting recollection of men? |
| 11080 | What defence can be made for such beastly behaviour? |
| 11080 | What did the one do like an enemy, that the other has not done, or is not doing, or planning, and thinking of? |
| 11080 | What did the people of Anagnia do? |
| 11080 | What disposition do you suppose that this man will display towards us whom he hates, when he was so cruel to those men whom he had never seen? |
| 11080 | What do we promise our soldiers? |
| 11080 | What do you mean by interposing the veto? |
| 11080 | What do you think the municipal towns feel? |
| 11080 | What do you think will be the case when I have gone on a journey, and that too a long one? |
| 11080 | What do you think will be the feelings of all Italy? |
| 11080 | What do you think will be the result when such numbers force their way into the city at one time? |
| 11080 | What else is this than praising Brutus''s secretary, not Brutus? |
| 11080 | What else then do you think that this man is contriving or wishing, or what other object do you think he has in the war? |
| 11080 | What else was this but threatening the Roman people with slavery? |
| 11080 | What else, then, did you do on that day except pronounce Antonius a public enemy? |
| 11080 | What faith? |
| 11080 | What for? |
| 11080 | What good man is there who does not mourn for the death of Trebonius? |
| 11080 | What good, do I say? |
| 11080 | What greater discord can there possibly be? |
| 11080 | What greater honour had he obtained than that of having a holy cushion, an image, a temple, and a priest? |
| 11080 | What had he to do with the army of Publius Vatinius, our general? |
| 11080 | What had you seen? |
| 11080 | What has become of the applauses which he received on the occasion of Caesar''s triumph, and often at the games? |
| 11080 | What have you to oppose to me, O you eloquent man, as you seem at least to Mustela Tamisius, and to Tiro Numisius? |
| 11080 | What if it already_ has_ done us harm? |
| 11080 | What if, as it is said, Ventidius has arrived at Ancona? |
| 11080 | What is become of the law that such bills should be published on three market days? |
| 11080 | What is become of the penalty appointed by the recent Junian and Licinian law? |
| 11080 | What is more shameful than inconsistency, fickleness, and levity, both to individuals, and also to the entire senate? |
| 11080 | What is the difference? |
| 11080 | What is the matter? |
| 11080 | What is the matter? |
| 11080 | What is the meaning, then, of the eagerness to pass the law which brings with it the greatest possible infamy, and no popularity at all? |
| 11080 | What is the object, then, of our giving authority to the municipal towns and colonies to exclude Antonius? |
| 11080 | What is the principle of definition, and what is the system of it? |
| 11080 | What is the proper arrangement in judicial speeches? |
| 11080 | What is the use then of waiting, or of even a delay for the very shortest time? |
| 11080 | What is there in Antonius except lust, and cruelty, and wantonness, and audacity? |
| 11080 | What is there resembling that case here? |
| 11080 | What is your aim in a deliberative speech? |
| 11080 | What is your meaning in this? |
| 11080 | What juster cause is there for waging war than the wish to repel slavery? |
| 11080 | What kind of argument is there which is not found in my five books of impeachment of Verres? |
| 11080 | What lictor was ever so humble, so abject? |
| 11080 | What men are so clownish as not, when they have once beheld them, to think that they have reaped the greatest enjoyment that life can give? |
| 11080 | What more adverse decisions, O Marcus Antonius, can you want? |
| 11080 | What more do you require, O judges when this, and this, and this has been already made plain to you?" |
| 11080 | What more glorious action was ever done? |
| 11080 | What more need I say? |
| 11080 | What more need I say? |
| 11080 | What more need I say? |
| 11080 | What more? |
| 11080 | What more? |
| 11080 | What more? |
| 11080 | What more? |
| 11080 | What more? |
| 11080 | What more? |
| 11080 | What need have we, then, of any new determination, if no new circumstances have arisen to call for one? |
| 11080 | What now are all those armies labouring at, except to effect the release of Decimus Brutus from a siege? |
| 11080 | What now is the object of this oration? |
| 11080 | What object was Epaminondas, the Theban general, more bound to aim at than the victory of the Thebans? |
| 11080 | What of Bestia, who professes that he is a candidate for the consulship in the place of Brutus? |
| 11080 | What order is that? |
| 11080 | What order of society, what class of people, what rank of nobles even was there who did not then show their zeal in praising and congratulating you? |
| 11080 | What peace can be greater than this? |
| 11080 | What peace can be more assured than this? |
| 11080 | What peace can there be between Marcus Antonius and( in the first place) the senate? |
| 11080 | What peace can there be with this man? |
| 11080 | What place am I to select? |
| 11080 | What place is there either so deserted or so uncivilized, as not to seem to greet and to covet the presence of those men wherever they have arrived? |
| 11080 | What reason did you allege to the Roman people why it was desirable that he should be restored? |
| 11080 | What rules, then, are to be attended to in narration? |
| 11080 | What says wisdom? |
| 11080 | What shall I say of the two Servilii? |
| 11080 | What shall we say if even_ abfugit_ has seemed inadmissible, and if men have discarded_ abfer_ and preferred_ aufer_? |
| 11080 | What shall we say of Censorinus? |
| 11080 | What then can be effected by this division of necessity? |
| 11080 | What then does she think? |
| 11080 | What then has been the opinion which Decimus Brutus has formed of Marcus Antonius? |
| 11080 | What then he himself thinks ought to be given to no one, not even by the senate, can I approve of that being conferred by the decision of one man? |
| 11080 | What then is the meaning of this contempt of theirs for orations translated from the Greek, when they have no objection to translated verses? |
| 11080 | What then is the object of these comitia? |
| 11080 | What then? |
| 11080 | What then? |
| 11080 | What then? |
| 11080 | What war is there between you and the Bruti? |
| 11080 | What was he labouring for, except to remove from himself a groundless suspicion of treachery? |
| 11080 | What was his crime, except that on the ides of March he withdrew you from the destruction which you had deserved? |
| 11080 | What was his hope, except to lead that vast army to the city, or rather into the city? |
| 11080 | What was the difficulty of doing that? |
| 11080 | What was the first of June that you waited for? |
| 11080 | What was the resolution of the senate which he was afraid that they would stop by the interposition of their veto? |
| 11080 | What was there in the whole of the journey of the Antonii; except depopulation, devastation, slaughter, and rapine? |
| 11080 | What was there to oppose to his audacity and wickedness? |
| 11080 | What was your rank? |
| 11080 | What were the circumstances of his return from thence? |
| 11080 | What were you afraid of? |
| 11080 | What will be the case if we are not to confer out of the camp? |
| 11080 | What will he not dare to do when victorious, who, without having gained any victory, has committed such crimes as these since the death of Caesar? |
| 11080 | What will the man who murdered his friend in this way, when he has an opportunity, do to an enemy? |
| 11080 | What will you say if it will even do us harm? |
| 11080 | What, then, are we to do? |
| 11080 | What, then, is the cause of war, and what is the object aimed at? |
| 11080 | What, too, shall I call Hirtius? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | What? |
| 11080 | When did you ever see a decree framed in this manner? |
| 11080 | When men could not bear him, do you think they will bear you? |
| 11080 | When was such wickedness ever heard of as existing upon earth? |
| 11080 | Whence then is this sudden change? |
| 11080 | Where are the seven hundred millions of sesterces which were entered in the account- books which are in the temple of Ops? |
| 11080 | Where did the diadem come from? |
| 11080 | Where do all these come from? |
| 11080 | Where is the Caecilian and Didian law? |
| 11080 | Where is the aedileship that was conferred on him by the zealous efforts of all good men? |
| 11080 | Where would your birth have conducted you? |
| 11080 | Where would your own good qualities have borne you? |
| 11080 | Which conduct then is it which shows the more prudent caution chastising wicked citizens when one is able to do so, or fearing them? |
| 11080 | Which of you does not hate him? |
| 11080 | While therefore we are admiring his singular prudence, can we at the same time fear his folly? |
| 11080 | While we are endeavouring to break the bonds of slavery, shall any one hinder us by saying that the veterans do not approve of it? |
| 11080 | Whither do we order our ambassadors to proceed, if Antonius does not comply? |
| 11080 | Who are there left then to be delighted with this heavensent allotment? |
| 11080 | Who can avoid praising such severity as this? |
| 11080 | Who can think of calling that war? |
| 11080 | Who do you imagine there is whose blood he is not thirsting for? |
| 11080 | Who ever heard the voice of the auctioneer? |
| 11080 | Who ever uses such an expression? |
| 11080 | Who ever was found in that Janus who would have lent Lucius Antonius a thousand sesterces? |
| 11080 | Who ever was such a barbarian? |
| 11080 | Who ever was the patron of all the tribes? |
| 11080 | Who has been able to look upon his children or upon his wife without weeping? |
| 11080 | Who has had more practice than I, who have now for twenty years been waging war against impious citizens? |
| 11080 | Who is either more acute in his conjectures of the future, or more diligent in warding off danger? |
| 11080 | Who is less so? |
| 11080 | Who is more fortunate than Lentulus, as I said before, and who is more sensible? |
| 11080 | Who is there who can possibly deplore such circumstances as their atrocity deserves? |
| 11080 | Who is there who does not grieve for the loss of such a citizen and such a man? |
| 11080 | Who then are the veterans whom we are to be fearful of offending? |
| 11080 | Who then can endure those men who do not agree with such authorities as these? |
| 11080 | Who then is he? |
| 11080 | Who then think that he is consul except a few robbers? |
| 11080 | Who was ever before adopted by that order as its patron? |
| 11080 | Who was ever so savage? |
| 11080 | Who would not wonder if you were to go as an ambassador to him? |
| 11080 | Who, on the other hand, is more profligate than the man who abuses him? |
| 11080 | Who, then, will undertake to me that Lenti will be content with exacting one life alone? |
| 11080 | Who? |
| 11080 | Whom can a defendant employ to propitiate him? |
| 11080 | Whom did you ever invite to help you? |
| 11080 | Whom do I extol? |
| 11080 | Whom will you ever favour? |
| 11080 | Whose name was there which was not at once made public? |
| 11080 | Why are not the folding- doors of the temple of Concord open? |
| 11080 | Why are we not all clad in the praetexta? |
| 11080 | Why are we permitting the honour which by your law was appointed for Caesar to be deserted? |
| 11080 | Why are you always defending men who in no point resemble you? |
| 11080 | Why are your satellites listening to me sword in hand? |
| 11080 | Why did he write down such words if he did not mean them? |
| 11080 | Why do I say Hirtius and Pansa? |
| 11080 | Why do I say my ears? |
| 11080 | Why do not they who are in similar misfortune enjoy a similar degree of your mercy? |
| 11080 | Why do you alone attack those men whom we are all bound almost to worship? |
| 11080 | Why do you bring men of all nations the most barbarous, Ityreans, armed with arrows, into the forum? |
| 11080 | Why do you treat them as you treated your uncle? |
| 11080 | Why does he fall in love? |
| 11080 | Why does the opponent, while he neglects what is plainly written, bring forward what is not written anywhere? |
| 11080 | Why has the senate been surrounded with a belt of armed men? |
| 11080 | Why is he so anxious that every one should have what he has bought, if he who sold it all has the price which he received for it? |
| 11080 | Why is not the public authority thrown into the scale as quickly as possible? |
| 11080 | Why need I mention his decrees, his robberies, the possessions of inheritances which were given him, and those too which were seized by him? |
| 11080 | Why need I mention the countless mass of papers, the innumerable autographs which have been brought forward? |
| 11080 | Why need I mention your preparations for banquets, why your frantic hard- drinking? |
| 11080 | Why need I say much on such a subject? |
| 11080 | Why need I speak of Hirtius? |
| 11080 | Why need I speak of the massacre of Roman citizens? |
| 11080 | Why need I speak of the other most illustrious men? |
| 11080 | Why need I speak of the topics used to excite pity? |
| 11080 | Why on me above all men? |
| 11080 | Why seeks he wine, And why do you from time to time supply The means for such excess? |
| 11080 | Why should I now complain of what has been done in the district of Leontini? |
| 11080 | Why should I speak of Domitius the Apulian? |
| 11080 | Why should I speak of Lucius Cinna? |
| 11080 | Why should I speak of Plancus? |
| 11080 | Why should I speak of the nature of things, the knowledge of which supplies such abundance of topics to oratory? |
| 11080 | Why should he think that men who were most careful in what they wrote are to be convicted of extreme folly? |
| 11080 | Why should not those men whose common work the achievement is, have the booty also in common?" |
| 11080 | Why should you be sad because Dolabella has been pronounced a public enemy? |
| 11080 | Why should you, then give any precise command or formula, when each is best in its own kind, and when there are many kinds? |
| 11080 | Why so? |
| 11080 | Why then do I not wish for peace? |
| 11080 | Why then do you delay? |
| 11080 | Why then should we be displeased that the army of Marcus Brutus is thrown into the scale to assist us in overwhelming these pests of the commonwealth? |
| 11080 | Why then was it that most gallant man, my own colleague and intimate friend, Aulus Hirtius the consul, has set out? |
| 11080 | Why was the Martial legion? |
| 11080 | Why were the games of Apollo celebrated with incredible honour to Marcus Brutus? |
| 11080 | Why, O most ungrateful of men, have you abandoned your office of priest to him? |
| 11080 | Why, then, do you not favour those men and praise those men whom you wish your own son to resemble? |
| 11080 | Why, who on earth knows or cares where he is, or what he is doing; or, indeed, whether he is alive or dead? |
| 11080 | Why? |
| 11080 | Why? |
| 11080 | Why? |
| 11080 | Will any one come to you, unless he be a man like Ventidius? |
| 11080 | Will he embrace the Roman knights? |
| 11080 | Will he not again meet wicked men in the decuries? |
| 11080 | Will it then be possible for you to rely on the certainty of any peace, when you see Antonius, or rather the Antonii, in the city? |
| 11080 | Will they send one more worthy than Publius Servilius? |
| 11080 | Will you be glad to produce them? |
| 11080 | Will you even give them to wicked citizens to take copies of? |
| 11080 | Will you favour an enemy? |
| 11080 | Will you furnish a wicked and desperate citizen with an army of Gauls and Germans, with money, and infantry, and cavalry, and all sorts of resources? |
| 11080 | Will you let him send you letters about his hopes of success? |
| 11080 | Will you make any reply to these statements? |
| 11080 | Will you never understand that you have to decide whether those men who performed that action are homicides or assertors of freedom? |
| 11080 | Will you open your gates to these most infamous brothers? |
| 11080 | Will you thus damp the hopes and valour of the good? |
| 11080 | Will you thus raise their courage? |
| 11080 | With respect to all the things which Caesar was intending to do in the senate on the ides of March, I ask whether you have done anything? |
| 11080 | With what object? |
| 11080 | Would Antonius have been a guardian of the city, or its plunderer and destroyer? |
| 11080 | Would not they also address this complaint to you? |
| 11080 | XI Who then is that man? |
| 11080 | You gave your physician three thousand acres; what would you have done if he had cured you? |
| 11080 | You propose to take the legions away from Brutus-- which legions? |
| 11080 | You were only claiming your right, but what had that to do with it? |
| 11080 | You will ask whether I approve of his having a sacred cushion, a temple and a priest? |
| 11080 | You wise and considerate man, what do you say to this? |
| 11080 | [ 20] For where can you be safe in peace? |
| 11080 | [ 29] if so, what insult can be greater? |
| 11080 | [ 9] How can you prove it in that manner? |
| 11080 | [ Footnote 49: Compare St Paul,--"For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" |
| 11080 | _ C.F._ I understand; and I ask you now what the events are which you have said are produced by such causes? |
| 11080 | _ Cicero Pat._ Is there anything, my Cicero, which I can be more desirous of than that you should be as learned as possible? |
| 11080 | _ Will_ do us harm? |
| 11080 | and at that sight of the two tribunes of the people who are opposed to you? |
| 11080 | and do you think that those men were instigated by my authority rather than by their affection for the republic? |
| 11080 | and has introduced armed men into the temple of Concord when he was holding a senate there? |
| 11080 | and if he did such a thing as this for the fun of the thing, what do you think he will do when tempted by the hope of plunder? |
| 11080 | and of that great haste? |
| 11080 | and of the Roman knights? |
| 11080 | and of the military tribunes? |
| 11080 | and out of doors rather than at home? |
| 11080 | and that you should love with the greatest constancy those whom every one else hates most bitterly? |
| 11080 | and that you yourself submitted a motion to the people, that a fifth day should be added besides, in honour of Caesar? |
| 11080 | and the colonies? |
| 11080 | and to be the first man in this body to deliver his opinion, until he entered on his magistracy? |
| 11080 | and to celebrate a triumph? |
| 11080 | and to depart from thence in safety? |
| 11080 | and to return home himself? |
| 11080 | and to show your most profligate countenance to the household gods who protect that abode? |
| 11080 | and two thousand to your master of oratory; what would you have done if he had been able to make you eloquent? |
| 11080 | and what instance was it not of moderation to complain of the conduct of Marcus Antonius, and yet to abstain from any abusive expressions? |
| 11080 | and when you did so, not once only, but repeatedly? |
| 11080 | and while they are coming back again? |
| 11080 | and who, with armed troops and guards, has excluded both the people and the magistrates from the forum? |
| 11080 | and whose name has been concealed who was in the number of that gallant band? |
| 11080 | and,"Whether that was the reason why he did so?" |
| 11080 | any one with whom he conversed or shared his counsels more frequently? |
| 11080 | are not all the laws of Caesar respecting judicial proceedings abrogated by the law which has been proposed concerning the third decury? |
| 11080 | are those enormous profits to be endured which the household of Marcus Antonius has swallowed up? |
| 11080 | as if the object aimed at were to enable any one to appeal? |
| 11080 | by my handwriting? |
| 11080 | can he be afraid that any one of his friends may be convicted by Cydas, or Lysiades, or Curius? |
| 11080 | could it be passed with a proper regard for the auspices? |
| 11080 | did that most gallant man speak so long and so precisely a little while ago without any reason? |
| 11080 | do you suppose that the municipal towns, and the colonies, and the prefectures have any other opinion? |
| 11080 | especially when all the protection which we might have had from good men is lost, and when those men are prepared to obey his nod? |
| 11080 | for I imagine that Trebellius has taken this surname, what can be greater confidence than defrauding one''s creditors? |
| 11080 | for how can those men, to whom the safety of Brutus is dear, hate the name of Cassius? |
| 11080 | for if he did these things when flying, what would he have done when he was pursuing? |
| 11080 | for what name is more fit for you? |
| 11080 | for what of all these things can be either spoken of or understood without a long study of those matters? |
| 11080 | has emptied his well filled house? |
| 11080 | has he ever touched the public money, or murdered a man, or had armed men about him? |
| 11080 | has pillaged his gardens? |
| 11080 | has sought to make his death a pretext for slaughter and conflagration? |
| 11080 | has the Roman people adopted this law?--What? |
| 11080 | has transferred to his own mansion all their ornaments? |
| 11080 | have I not at all times extolled Decimus Brutus whenever I have delivered my opinion at all? |
| 11080 | have we no regard for the opinion of the veterans? |
| 11080 | he whose death the senate and Roman people wish to avenge, or he who has been adjudged an enemy by the unanimous vote of the senate? |
| 11080 | how the Roman people is on tiptoe with the hope of recovering its liberty? |
| 11080 | in order to have great fears for their return? |
| 11080 | is fear usually threatened by a friend? |
| 11080 | is the object of always opposing the name of the veterans to every good cause? |
| 11080 | is there any one of you who does not belong to a tribe? |
| 11080 | is this the opinion of those veteran soldiers, to whom as yet either course is open?" |
| 11080 | more deserving of every sort of punishment? |
| 11080 | more shameful than this? |
| 11080 | not killing me at Brundusium? |
| 11080 | of expelling Decimus Caifulenus, a man thoroughly attached to the republic, from the senate by violence and threats of death? |
| 11080 | of our authorizing soldiers to be enlisted without any force, without the terror of any fine, of their own inclination and eagerness? |
| 11080 | of permitting them to promise money for the assistance of the republic? |
| 11080 | of the plunder of temples? |
| 11080 | or can we doubt which of the two is most miserable? |
| 11080 | or even at the time when you were elected, could you have got the votes of one single tribe without the aid of Curio? |
| 11080 | or has he, who gave that present to his slave on that account taken any obligations on himself?" |
| 11080 | or how to soften what is harsh, and to conceal what can not be denied, and, if it be possible, entirely to get rid of all such topics? |
| 11080 | or in my speech for Avitus? |
| 11080 | or in that for Cornelius? |
| 11080 | or in the other numerous speeches in defence of different men? |
| 11080 | or of life, and duty, and virtue, and manners? |
| 11080 | or of the extraordinary applause at the sight of the statue of Pompeius? |
| 11080 | or of the verses made by the people? |
| 11080 | or should I collect all the other ruined men of that band of robbers? |
| 11080 | or should I rather praise the Antonii, the disgrace and infamy not only of their own families, but of the Roman name? |
| 11080 | or should I speak in favour of Censorenus, an enemy in time of war, an assassin in time of peace? |
| 11080 | or should you have thought Quintus Metellus one, whose four sons were all men of consular rank? |
| 11080 | or such open infamy? |
| 11080 | or such shamelessness? |
| 11080 | or what does it signify whether I wished it to be done, or rejoice that it has been done? |
| 11080 | or what judge will be bold enough to venture to condemn a criminal, knowing that he will immediately be dragged before a gang of hireling operatives? |
| 11080 | or what severer punishment has ever been he himself was unable to perform? |
| 11080 | or when was the Roman people more delighted? |
| 11080 | or will you employ the same uninterrupted vehemence in the same causes without any alteration? |
| 11080 | or with Illyricum? |
| 11080 | or, is it possible that any one should be found more friendly to the cause than his son? |
| 11080 | or, was it possible for that man long to continue unlike himself? |
| 11080 | says he, what are all these sanctions of religion which you are talking about? |
| 11080 | so brutal? |
| 11080 | than flying from one''s house? |
| 11080 | than, because of one''s debts, being forced to go to war? |
| 11080 | that I have been despised? |
| 11080 | that Trebonius was wicked? |
| 11080 | that he should enter the city as often as he pleased? |
| 11080 | that was otherwise than friendly? |
| 11080 | that was otherwise than moderate? |
| 11080 | that which was excluded from the forum? |
| 11080 | that you should hate those men whom every one else considers most dear? |
| 11080 | those which relate to the recovery of the liberty of the Roman people? |
| 11080 | to be a slave? |
| 11080 | to be eager to attack Mutina? |
| 11080 | to besiege Brutus? |
| 11080 | to read them? |
| 11080 | to whom was I to deliver them as my successor? |
| 11080 | under that which has been wholly abrogated by violence and arms? |
| 11080 | was ever achieved not only in this city, but in all the earth? |
| 11080 | was it ever regularly promulgated? |
| 11080 | was it not passed before it was even drawn up? |
| 11080 | was not the judicature open to that order by the Julian law, and even before that by the Pompeian and Aurelian laws? |
| 11080 | what business had he with Dyrrachium? |
| 11080 | what can be your intention? |
| 11080 | what do you think of those men who are besieging Mutina, who are levying troops in Gaul, who are threatening your fortunes? |
| 11080 | what good can our embassy do to the republic? |
| 11080 | what had you heard? |
| 11080 | what had you perceived? |
| 11080 | what imperator? |
| 11080 | what more savage? |
| 11080 | what resolutions you have given utterance to against those men? |
| 11080 | what shall we say if Caesar even wrote you that you were to give it up? |
| 11080 | what sort of return was it? |
| 11080 | what would be done if he were to come to life again, by?--"By whom? |
| 11080 | when it does not seem that there is even any punishment which the Roman people can think adequate to his crimes? |
| 11080 | when we have laid aside our arms and they have not laid aside theirs? |
| 11080 | when you decreed that the consuls, one or both of them, should go to the war, what war was there if Antonius was not an enemy? |
| 11080 | where are the habits and virtues of our forefathers? |
| 11080 | where have we among our youth a more illustrious example of the old- fashioned strictness? |
| 11080 | which of you does not he hate? |
| 11080 | who endeavoured to come to Rome with his army to accomplish our massacre and the utter destruction of the city? |
| 11080 | who ever saw any notice of that auction? |
| 11080 | who has been able to bear the sight of his home, of his house, and his household gods? |
| 11080 | who has filled the senate with armed men? |
| 11080 | who has imposed laws on the Roman people? |
| 11080 | who has put up exemptions and annuities to sale? |
| 11080 | who has released cities from obligations? |
| 11080 | who has removed whole provinces from subjection to the Roman empire? |
| 11080 | who has restored exiles? |
| 11080 | who is attacking Brutus? |
| 11080 | who is besieging Mutina? |
| 11080 | who is more modest? |
| 11080 | who is there who does not now think that he acted virtuously by accident? |
| 11080 | who ran down to Brundusium to meet the legions, and then murdered all the centurions in them who were well affected to the republic? |
| 11080 | who was there who did not grieve that he was so late in finding out how worthless a man he had been following? |
| 11080 | who was there who did not know that she had come so many days''journey to congratulate you? |
| 11080 | who was there, who did not give in his name? |
| 11080 | who will be able to support this man''s power? |
| 11080 | who, as far as words go, said indeed that he wished to be the city praetor, but who, in fact, was unwilling to be so? |
| 11080 | who, on whose possessions and fortunes he is not fixing his most impudent eyes, his hopes, and his whole heart? |
| 11080 | who, when deserted by them, has invaded Gaul with a troop of banditti? |
| 11080 | why am I compelled to find fault with the senate whom I have always praised? |
| 11080 | why are not you inaugurated? |
| 11080 | why are we to make their arrogance of such importance as to choose our generals with reference to their pleasure? |
| 11080 | why are we to yield so much to their haughtiness? |
| 11080 | why should he do so, any more than I should claim it of him? |
| 11080 | why was the fourth legion praised? |
| 11080 | why was the number of their lieutenants augmented? |
| 11080 | why were provinces given to Brutus and Cassius? |
| 11080 | why were quaestors assigned to them? |
| 11080 | will Antonius ever maintain peace with them? |
| 11080 | will he allow himself to be confined by the river Rubicon and by the limit of two hundred miles? |
| 11080 | will he not again seek those who have been banished? |
| 11080 | will he not again tamper with those men who have received lands? |
| 11080 | will he not, in short, be Marcus Antonius; to whom, on the occasion of every commotion, there will be a rush of all profligate citizens? |
| 11080 | will he obey this notice? |
| 11080 | will they ever be friends to you, or you to them? |
| 11080 | will you dare to open your mouth at all? |
| 11080 | will you ever admit them into the city? |
| 11080 | with Censorinus, and Ventidius, and Trebellius, and Bestia, and Nucula, and Munatius, and Lento, and Saxa? |
| 11080 | with what face do you do this? |
| 11080 | with what face will he be able to look upon you, and with what eyes will you, in turn, look upon him? |
| 11080 | would he make a truce? |
