Pagina 457 - This was the chief end and purpose of his life ; the scheme that he had formed from his early youth ; so that, as Cato truly declared of him, he came with sobriety and meditation to the subversion of the republic. He used to say that there were two things necessary to acquire and to support- power — soldiers and money; which yet depended mutually upon each other.
Pagina 456 - Quintilian says, that he spoke with the same force with which he fought ; and if he had devoted himself to the bar, would have been the only man capable of rivalling Cicero.

Pagina 331 - His language was copious and elevated ; his sentiments just ; his voice sweet ; his action noble, and full of dignity. But his talents were better formed for arms than the gown ; for though in both he observed the same discipline, a perpetual modesty, temperance, and gravity of outward behaviour ; yet in the license of camps the example was more rare and striking.
Pagina 366 - ... him : for, instead of managing the power of the great, so as to mitigate the ill, or extract any good from it, he was urging it always to acts of violence by a perpetual defiance; so that, with the best intentions in the world, he tiften did great harm to the republic.
