"I have lived long enough to satisfy both nature and glory."

"I love the name of honor, more than I fear death."

"If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it."

"In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes."

"It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience."

"It was the wont of the immortal gods sometimes to grant prosperity and long impunity to men whose crimes they were minded to punish in order that a complete reverse of fortune might make them suffer more bitterly."

"Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish."

"Men freely believe that which they desire."

"Men in general are quick to believe that which they wish to be true."

"Men willingly believe what they wish."

"Which death is preferably to every other? 'The unexpected'."
