Cornelius Tacitus
Roman historian & politician
| “ | He had a certain frankness and generosity, qualities indeed which turn to a man's ruin, unless tempered with discretion. | ” |
| “ | I am my nearest neighbour. | ” |
| “ | In stirring up tumult and strife, the worst men can do the most, but peace and quiet cannot be established without virtue. | ” |
| “ | It is found by experience that admirable laws and right precedents among the good have their origin in the misdeeds of others.
| ” |
| “ | Keen at the start, but careless at the end. | ” |
| “ | No hatred is so bitter as that of near relations. | ” |
| “ | That cannot be safe which is not honourable. | ” |
| “ | There can never be a complete confidence in a power which is excessive. | ” |
| “ | It is the rare fortuene of these days that one may think what one likes and say what one thinks.
