Sallust quotes
A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.
Ambition drove many men to become false; to have one thought locked in the breast, another ready on the tongue.
Before you act consider; when you have considered, tis fully time to act.
Every man is the architect of his own fortune.
Few men desire liberty: The majority are satisfied with a just master.
Small communities grow great through harmony, great ones fall to pieces through discord.
The higher your station, the less your liberty.
The renown which riches or beauty confer is fleeting and frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession.
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
They envy the distinction I have won; let them therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, and the methods by which I gained it.
To like and dislike the same things, that is indeed true friendship.
To someone seeking power, the poorest man is the most useful.
