The Worst Kind Of Shame Is Being

Under The Influence Of Fear, Which Always Leads Men To Take A Pessimistic View Of Things, They Magnified Their Enemies' Resources, And Minimized Their Own.

There Is Always More Spirit In Attack Than In Defence.

The Army From Asia Introduced A Foreign Luxury To Rome; It Was Then The Meals Began To Require More Dishes And More Expenditure . . . The Cook, Who Had Up To That Time Been Employed As A Slave Of Low Price, Become Dear: What Had Been Nothing But A Metier Was Elevated To An Art.

Present Sufferings Seem Far Greater To Men Than Those They Merely Dread.

Nothing Hurts Worse Than The Loss Of Money.
