Text Quotes
As he, though carried off in the prime of life, had lived long enough for glory (Tacitus Quotes)
He that fights and runs away, may turn and fight another day; but he that is in battle slain, will never rise to fight again (Tacitus Quotes)
A bitter jest, when it comes too near the truth, leaves a sharp sting behind it (Tacitus Quotes)
The love of fame is a love that even the wisest of men are reluctant to forgo (Tacitus Quotes)
The solitude lends much appeal, because a sea without a harbour surrounds it. Even a modest boat can find few anchorage, and nobody can go ashore unnoticed by the guards. Its winter is mild because it is enclosed by a range of mountains which keeps out the fierce temperature; its summer is unequal. The open sea is very pleasant and it has a view of a beautiful bay (Tacitus Quotes)
