28676	He begins mildly enough, but warms with his subject as he goes on:"Should they send ambassadors to a traitor to his country?
28676	He did not care to fight; but are all men cowards who do not care to fight when work can be so much better done by talking?
28676	He had agreed to go on this embassy-- who can say for what motives?
28676	He thinks that he may in this way perhaps best serve the public, or even"if it be not so, what else is there that he may find to do?
28676	He took a present of books from his friend Poetus, and asked another friend what"Cincius"would say to it?
28676	He was going for the sake of his son; but would not people say that he went to avoid the present danger?
28676	He will die with Pompey in Italy, but what can he do by leaving it?
28676	His doings during the whole of this time were but little to his credit; but who is there whose doings were to his credit at that period?
28676	How did Cicero show his fear?
28676	How is a man to live by listening to such trash as this?"
28676	How is he to support seven legions?
28676	How is it that a correspondence, which is for its main purpose so full, should have fallen so short in many of its details?

28676	How should Lepidus doubt now when victory had declared for the Republic?
28676	How, then, could it be that he should ask for so small a thing as a triumph in reward for so small a deed as that done at Pindenissum?
28676	How, then, shall I now write in terms which shall suffice for his pride to the man who has been equalled to Romulus?"
28676	I am bound to oblige you-- but how can I do so in opposition to your own lessons?
28676	If because he wrote it, and did not speak it, what shall be said of the party writers of to- day?
28676	If he be blamed because his Philippic was anonymous, how do the anonymous writers of to- day escape?

28676	If she would deduct something from so small a sum, what would she do if it were larger?
28676	If, then, you despair of reaching this abode, which all of true excellence strive to approach, what glory is there to be gained?
28676	In the midst of this, how many a father of a family is there who goes to church for the sake of example?
28676	In this condition was it not better for him to go with the other Generals of the Empire rather than to perish with a falling party?
28676	In what city was Hannibal as cruel as Antony at Parma; and shall we not call him an enemy?"

28676	Is there any end to this misery?
28676	Is this our talkative Senator?
28676	Looking at the state of the Roman Empire when Cicero died, who would not declare its doom?
28676	Now what do you, followers of Epicurus, say to this?
28676	Of whom would we wish that the familiar letters of another about ourselves should be published?
28676	Or how can it be possible, when each of us must take the cause as it comes to him?
28676	Or how can you be at peace with one who hates you as does he; or how can he be at peace with those who hate him as do you?
28676	Shall I deliver it up to famine and to destruction for the sake of one man who is no more than mortal?
28676	Shall I not by the same aid restore you to yours?"
28676	Shall I remain sitting here?
28676	Shall I rush hither and thither madly, and implore the credit of the towns?
28676	Shall he send word to Cæsar that he will wait upon him nearer to Rome?
28676	Shall we forgive a house- breaker because the tools which he has himself invented are used at last upon his own door?
28676	Should he seek the uncomfortable refuge of Brutus''s army?
28676	Six hundred mules on the stage in the acting of Clytemnestra, or three thousand golden goblets in The Trojan Horse-- what delight could they give you?
28676	So it is thus that Cæsar''s acts are to be maintained?
28676	The first words we know because they have been quoted by Quintilian,"Oh ye gods immortal, what day is this which has shone upon me at last?
28676	Then why, it may be asked, did he write so many essays on philosophy-- enough to have consumed the energies of many laborious years?
28676	Then, as to the other, why was he leaving his country- house so suddenly?
28676	There of course arises the question, who is to decide whether a man be a tyrant?
28676	They who speak of you-- for how short a time will their voices be heard?
28676	To Phormio, perhaps, or Gnatho, or Ballion?
28676	Was Cicero mean in his conduct toward Cæsar?
28676	Was Cicero sincere to his party, was he sincere to his friends, was he sincere to his family, was he sincere to his dependents?
28676	Was Hannibal at the gate, or were they dealing for peace with Pyrrhus, as was the case when they brought the old blind Appius down to the House?
28676	Was he subjected to wrong by having his command taken away from him before the period had passed for which the people had given it?
28676	Was he wrong at such a moment to save his life for the Republic-- and for himself?
28676	Was it considered base by other Romans of the day?

28676	Who in the regions of the rising or setting sun has heard of our fame?
28676	Who is there can not do so much as that?

28676	Who told Cæsar of the foul words, and why were they read to him on this occasion?

28676	Why all this delay, and turning backward and forward?
28676	Why did he travel so slowly at this time of the year?

28676	[ 277]*** You may snore, if you will, as well as sleep,"says Carneades;"what good will it do you?
28676	and having done so, had he done well in severing himself, immediately on Pompey''s death, from the Pompeians?
28676	and might it not be the case that he should be of service if he remained?
28676	and what courage?
