Text Quotes
As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay  (Sallust Quotes) It is a law of human nature that in victory even the coward may boast of his prowess, while defeat injures the reputation even of the brave  (Sallust Quotes) Neither the army nor the treasury, but friends, are the true supports of the throne; for friends cannot be collected by force of arms, nor purchased with money; they are the offspring of kindness and sincerity  (Sallust Quotes) No mortal man has ever served at the same time his passions and his best interests  (Sallust Quotes) The glory of riches and of beauty is frail and transitory; virtue remains bright and eternal  (Sallust Quotes) They envy the distinction I have won; let them therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, and the methods by which I gained it  (Sallust Quotes) All men who would surpass the other animals should do their best not to pass through life silently like the beasts whom nature made prone, obedient to their bellies  (Sallust Quotes) It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will  (Sallust Quotes) The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession  (Sallust Quotes) Small endeavours obtain strength by unity of action: the most powerful are broken down by discord  (Sallust Quotes) One can ever assume to be what he is not, and to conceal what he is  (Sallust Quotes) To have the same desires and the same aversion is assuredly a firm bond of friendship  (Sallust Quotes) It is sweet to surve one country by deeds, and it is not absurd to surve her by words  (Sallust Quotes) Those most moved to tears by every word of a preacher are generally weak and a rascal when the feelings evaporate  (Sallust Quotes) He only seems to me to live, and to make proper use of life, who sets himself some serious work to do, and seeks the credit of a task well and skillfully performed  (Sallust Quotes) All persons who are enthusiastic that they should transcend the other animals ought to strive with the utmost effort not to pass through a life of silence, like cattle, which nature has fashioned to be prone and obedient to their stomachs  (Sallust Quotes) In my opinion, he only may be truly said to live and enjoy his being who is engaged in some laudable pursuit, and acquires a name by some illustrious action, or useful art  (Sallust Quotes) In my opinion it is less shameful for a king to be overcome by force of arms than by bribery  (Sallust Quotes) In battle it is the cowards who run the most risk; bravery is a rampart of defense  (Sallust Quotes) Ambition drove many men to become false; to have one thought locked in the breast, another ready on the tongue  (Sallust Quotes) The fame which is based on wealth or beauty is a frail and fleeting thing; but virtue shines for ages with undiminished lustre  (Sallust Quotes) Sovereignty is easily preserved by the very arts by which it was originally created. When, however, energy has given place to indifference, and temperance and justice to passion and arrogance, then as the morals change so changes fortune  (Sallust Quotes) For men who had easily endured hardship, danger and difficult uncertainty, leisure and riches, though in some ways desirable, proved burdensome and a source of grief  (Sallust Quotes)
