Beschreibung | Gaius Sallustius Crispus war ein römischer Geschichtsschreiber und Politiker. |
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.
Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal.
Neither soldiers nor money can defend a king but only friends won by good deeds, merit, and honesty.
To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.
All who consult on doubtful matters, should be void of hatred, friendship, anger, and pity.
All those who offer an opinion on any doubtful point should first clear their minds of every sentiment of dislike, friendship, anger or pity.
The firmest friendship is based on an identity of likes and dislikes.
A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.
