Sallust
To hope for safety in flight, when you have turned away from the enemy the arms by which the body is defended, is indeed madness. In battle those who are most afraid are always in most danger but courage is equivalent to rampart.

To someone seeking power, the poorest man is the most useful.
Sallust
Of the cosmic Gods some make the world be, others animate it, others harmonize it, consisting as it does of different elements the fourth class keep it when harmonized.

Sallust
