Fowler, W. Warde, 1847-1921

"Social life at Rome in the Age of Cicero"

I do not know, I feel it, and am distressed.
Page 155 (bottom). _Elle apportait_, etc.: she revealed in her private
behavior, in her affections, the same vehemence and the same passion
which her brother showed in public life. Ready for all excesses, and
not blushing to confess them, loving and hating with fury, incapable
of controlling herself, and opposed to all constraint, she did not
belie the great and haughty family from which she was sprung.
Page 178,1. 3. _rusticorum_, etc.:
The farmer-soldier's manly brood
Was trained to delve the Sabine sod,
And at an austere mother's nod
To hew and fetch the fagot wood.
Page 178, l. 20. _Maxima_, etc.: the greatest concern must be shown
for children.
Page 185, l. 8. _Avarus_, etc.:
The covetous is the cause of his own misery.
Bravery is increased by daring and fear by hesitation.
You can more easily discover fortune than cling to it.
The wrath of the just is to be dreaded.
A man dies every time that he is bereft of his kin.
