21859	and what room was there for private judgment, if they had to obey the bidding of certain fallible men?
21859	did they take refuge in the mountains or deserts?
21859	did you fear that I would desert the Church, and, for fear of my life, abandon you?
21859	do I see my wife I just now buried?"
21859	is it his own Christianity?
21859	is it not wonderful that the victim of it was able to live as many as nine months under such a visitation?
21859	rather has it not been an injury, as causing hatred and dissension?
21859	shall we accept it or not?
21859	shall we give up our knowledge of times past altogether, or endure to gain a knowledge which we think we have already-- the knowledge of divine truth?
21859	shall we relapse into scepticism upon all subjects, or sacrifice our deep- rooted prejudices?
21859	shall we retreat, or shall we advance?
21859	they asked;"was he not an old man, five hundred years of age?
21859	was it like any Protestant denomination at all?
21859	was it like the Scotch Kirk?
21859	was it like the Society of Friends?
21859	were they driven out of Sogdiana again?
21859	were they massacred?
21859	were they reduced to slavery?
21859	what answer is to be given?
21859	what suspicion of imposture?
21859	why did he not rather say,''But although I?''
21859	yet what and where are they without the Koran?
28676	A Roman army sits round Pompey and makes him a prisoner within valley and rampart-- and shall we live? 28676 A little late to welcome me, eh?"
28676	But what have I to do with lictors,he says,"who am almost ordered to leave the shores of Italy?
28676	But what was the meaning of it all? 28676 By what right, by what law,"he asks,"shall Cassius go to Syria?
28676	Did he defend Poetus?
28676	Did he kill him? 28676 Did he know of you whether you were a white man or a negro?
28676	Did you ever hear of a worse knave?
28676	Do you remember how Dolabella fought for you in Spain, when you were getting drunk at Narbo? 28676 Has not Hirtius, who has gone away, sick as he is, called it a war?
28676	He gives a birthday fête in his garden: to whom, I wonder? 28676 Is this he whom we used to know in the city?
28676	Sed quid agas? 28676 Shall Brutus talk of July?"
28676	Shall I, the savior of the city, assist to bring down upon that city those hordes of foreign men? 28676 Shall we defend the deeds of him at whose death we are rejoiced?"
28676	What would you say if you read my last letter to Appius?
28676	Who is there, I ask,he says,"who alleges Ligarius to have been in fault because he was in Africa?
28676	Who the mischief are these Pindenissians? 28676 Who wanted to go to Egypt?"
28676	Why do I-- I who am a man of peace-- refuse peace? 28676 Why do you talk to me of your tunny- fish, your pilot- fish, and your cheese and sardines?
28676	Would you not call him a very Lælius?
28676	You deny that I have had legacies? 28676 You have made me a prefect,"said Gavius;"where am I to go for my rations?"
28676	[ 118]--What would you have me do?
28676	[ 276] What can be truer, or less likely, we may suppose, to meet us in a treatise on philosophy, and, therefore, more welcome? 28676 [ 334]"Who is there, when he thinks that a God is taking care of him, shall not live day and night in awe of his divine majesty?"
28676	''What music is that,''said I,''swelling so loudly and yet so sweet?''
28676	*** And then am I not regretting at every moment the life of Rome-- the Forum, the city itself, my own house?
28676	*** Can you have an assured peace while there is an Antony in the State-- or many Antonys?
28676	*** Do you bear in mind,"he says,"that you were a bankrupt as soon as you had become a man?
28676	*** Why does not Antony come down among us to- day?"
28676	*** Will he kill him?"
28676	*** Would you mind telling me what height Turselius stood?"
28676	45?
28676	A Charybdis do I call him?
28676	All his wine, the great weight of silver, the costly furniture and rich dresses, in a few days where were they all?
28676	All mere workmen are engaged in ignoble employment: what of grandeur can the mere workshop produce?
28676	Am I not always regretting you?
28676	Among those who did do the deed, whose name has been hidden-- or, indeed, is not most widely known?
28676	And again he says, speaking of God''s care,"Quis enim potest-- quam existimet a deo se curari-- non et dies, et noctes divinum numen horrere?
28676	And did he despise pain, or make any attempt at showing his disregard of it?
28676	And having done so, was he not bound to endure the enmity he had provoked?
28676	And how did you get back from Narbo?
28676	And who can fight them but after some fashion of their own?
28676	Antony is his friend, and why had Antony treated him so roughly?
28676	Are they to be found in notes and scraps and small documents brought forward by one witness, or not brought forward at all but only told to us?
28676	Are you all uncles to Antony?"
28676	Are you not a little late to welcome me as one of my friends?
28676	As to the third charge-- that of insincerity-- I would ask of my readers to bethink themselves how few men are sincere now?
28676	But of what Pompey was it that I so spoke?
28676	But tell me, Calenus, is slavery peace?"
28676	But then, how are we to judge of Cicero?
28676	But what are houses falling to him?
28676	But what attempt did he ever make?
28676	But what has it to do with the nature of the gods?
28676	But what is cowardice?
28676	But where have you learned that, seeing that I have inherited twenty million sesterces?
28676	But who can be made Consuls in the place of Pansa and Hirtius?
28676	But why has Appius taken away three of the fullest cohorts, seeing that in the entire province the number of soldiers left has been so small?
28676	By the gods, do you not wonder at it?
28676	Can St. Paul have expressed with more clearness his belief as to a heaven?
28676	Can any man read the records of this long affection without wishing that he might be blessed with such a friendship?
28676	Can any one say that Cicero was base to have rejoiced that Cæsar had been killed?
28676	Can there be anything more absurd than to demand so great a preparation for so small a journey?
28676	Can you deny this, you who are creating all means of delays by which Decimus may be weakened and Antony made strong?"
28676	Can you expect glory from them?
28676	Cicero puts forward his excuses, and then bursts out with the real truth:"Why should I nibble round the unpalatable morsel which has to be swallowed?"
28676	Clodius was killed by my counsels-- was he?
28676	Clodius, rising in his anger, demanded,"Who had brought the famine?"
28676	Could Cæsar have told us all his feelings?
28676	Could any of us have refused to speak to Cæsar with adulation-- any of us whom circumstances compelled to speak to him?
28676	Crassus, noted for usury, i., 102; did he join Catiline?
28676	Did he ever desert his ship, when he had engaged himself to serve?
28676	Did he offer to help and not help?
28676	Did he think of this as he walked on the shore of Puteoli-- or of the ceremony he was about to encounter before he ate his dinner?
28676	Did he want to see the villa?
28676	Did they occasion him remorse?
28676	Do they remember how many Romans in public life had been murdered during the last dozen years?
28676	Do you remember your early friendship with Curio, and the injuries you did his father?"
28676	Does not the Church admit prayers for change of weather?
28676	For Pompey''s sake am I to let in these crowds?
28676	Had an attempt been made to recall Cæsar illegally?
28676	Had he done well in joining himself to Pompey?
28676	Had he ever taken more than one loan from Cæsar?
28676	Had not Cicero too rejoiced at the uncle''s murder?
28676	Had you any command from the Roman people to ask the same for them?
28676	Has he not revelled in his passions, feeling them to be just, righteous, honest, and becoming a man?
28676	Has he regretted them?
28676	Has he shown himself to us to be a man with a leaning toward such attempts?
28676	Has not young Cæsar, young as he is, prompted to it by no one, undertaken it as a war?"
28676	Has your name or has mine been able, over this small morsel of the earth''s surface, to ascend Mount Caucasus or to cross the Ganges?
28676	Have they thought of the danger which he did run when they bring those charges against him?
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 many a man has since learned to regret the lost labor of his household; and yet what god has been the better?
28676	How near have we approached to the beauty of truth, with all Christ''s teaching to guide us?
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 he were a coward, why did he hurry into this contest with Antony?
28676	If he were a coward, why did he write it at all?
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 it only because I am an Englishman that he seems to me to describe that form of government which was to come in England?
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	Was it for this that he had bade the Senate"fear nothing"as to young Octavian,"but always still look for better and greater things?"
28676	Was it not better so?
28676	Was it of this one who flies he knows not what, nor whom, nor whither he will fly?
28676	Was it unusual for Senators to be absent?
28676	Was that Greek philosophy?
28676	Was there ever a man of whom it might be said with less truth that he was indifferent as to pain?
28676	Was this cowardice?
28676	Was this the man to console himself with the idea that death was no evil?
28676	What business had Brutus to think the senate cowardly?
28676	What can be better worth our study than philosophy, or what more heavenly than virtue?
28676	What can be more"pestiferous,"or more prone to sedition?
28676	What can have been worse to a young man than to have been open to such payment?
28676	What could a dead man do for his country?
28676	What fame can you expect from men, or what glory?
28676	What if we had Pompey''s thoughts and Cæsar''s, would they be less so?
28676	What is it to him that politicians are cutting each other''s throats around him?
28676	What is it to us whether this or that event has been decreed while we live, and while each follows his own devices?
28676	What matters it to the unknown man whether a Cæsar or a Pompey is at the top of all things?
28676	What name would be so good to bind together the opponents of Cæsar as that of Cicero?
28676	What oration was nipped in the bud by fear of his creditor?
28676	What other Roman governor of whom we have heard would have made a question on the subject?
28676	What sense is duller?
28676	What was it that you desired so eagerly, with those eyes and hands, with that passion in your heart?
28676	What was one honest man among so many?
28676	What was the meaning of your weapon?
28676	What was your sword doing, Tubero, in that Pharsalian army?
28676	What would the Consuls do, what would Curio do, what would Pompey do, and what Cæsar?
28676	What would you have me say?
28676	What would you have?
28676	What, at last, is the good thing, and what the evil thing, and how shall we gain the one and avoid the other?
28676	When did Sabbatarian observances begin to be required by the Word of God, and when again did they cease to be so?
28676	When no one can expect to find the thing sought for, who can seek diligently?
28676	When was your voice heard in the Forum?
28676	Where did he get the idea that it was a good thing not to torment the poor wretches that were subjected to his power?
28676	Where did he, who had been so greatly in debt before he went to Spain, get the million with which he bribed his adherents?
28676	Whither shall the men go if Antony refuses to obey them?"
28676	Who can strive to do good and not fight beasts?
28676	Who could that be but Cæsar?
28676	Who denies it?
28676	Who ever saw a fouler deed than that, or one more worthy scourges?"
28676	Who had counted more enemies in Rome than Marius?
28676	Who has ever heard me mentioned as having been conversant with that glorious affair?
28676	Who has left behind him so widely spread a breadth of literature?
28676	Who has made so many efforts, and has so well succeeded in them all?
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 is there can read them now so as accurately to decipher every intended detail?
28676	Who is there that would ride a new horse in preference to one tried-- one who knows your hand?
28676	Who knows anything about it?
28676	Who knows aught of that Crassus, or of that Antony, or of those Cæsars?
28676	Who should be so called but they who have been valiant, and lucky, and successful?
28676	Who told Cæsar of the foul words, and why were they read to him on this occasion?
28676	Who would have believed in him had he seemed to be so false?
28676	Whom did you seek to kill then?
28676	Whom was he not compelled to fear?
28676	Why all this delay, and turning backward and forward?
28676	Why did he travel so slowly at this time of the year?
28676	Why has all this been done within less than two years?
28676	Why not?
28676	Why not?
28676	Why should I tell you of it all?
28676	Why should he do this so late in the evening?
28676	Why should not a young man so furnished want a horse at Athens?
28676	Why should you and I be pardoned and not Ligarius?
28676	Why was he bound to obey Cicero, who was then at Rome, sending out his orders without official authority?
28676	Why was it that he took such an un- Roman pleasure in making the people happy?
28676	Will any one believe that he might not as well have consoled himself with one of his treatises on oratory?
28676	Will any one tell me that such a one has lived with the conviction that he might conquer the evils of the world by controlling his passions?
28676	Will your enmity against me be a recommendation for you to every evil citizen in Rome?
28676	With himself the matter was different:"In what else is there that I can do better?"
28676	With such an army as this do you expect me to do things like a Macedonicus?
28676	Would it not have been mean had he allowed those men to go and fight in Macedonia without him?
28676	Would they not say that he had remained away because he was Cæsar''s man?
28676	Would those objectionable epithets as to Pompey have been allowed to hold their ground had Pompey lived and had they been in his possession?
28676	[ 10] What hope could there be for an oligarchy when such things occurred in the Senate?
28676	[ 222]"Is he not responsible for the horrors of Dolabella?
28676	[ 227] Who can be afraid of Antony conquered who did not fear him in his strength?
28676	[ 22] As for himself, continued Cicero, if Cæsar had been his enemy, what of that?
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?
28676	but can there be anything more unjust than, in discussing a matter, to remember all its evils and to forget all its merits?
28676	but did they recall Marius when he was fighting for the Republic?
28676	of what was the nature of the fight?
28676	says Ennius;"do n''t I know your voice?"
28676	when did you do any service either in peace or war?
28676	when has your counsel been put to the proof?
28676	xiii., 40--"What good news could Brutus hear of Cæsar, unless that he hung himself?"
