Famous quotes by Tacitus:

"Things forbidden have a secret charm."

"Prosperity is the measure or touchstone of virtue, for it is less difficult to bear misfortune than to remain uncorrupted by pleasure."

"Candor and generosity, unless tempered by due moderation, leads to ruin."

"The more corrupt the republic, the more numerous the laws."

"Keen at the start, but careless at the end."

"It is found by experience that admirable laws and right precedents among the good have their origin in the misdeeds of others."

"There can never be a complete confidence in a power which is excessive."

"Even for learned men, love of fame is the last thing to be given up."

"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."

"He had a certain frankness and generosity, qualities indeed which turn to a man's ruin, unless tempered with discretion."

"All enterprises that are entered into with indiscreet zeal may be pursued with great vigor at first, but are sure to collapse in the end."

"When the state is most corrupt, then the laws are most multiplied."

"To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it."

"Many who seem to be struggling with adversity are happy; many, amid great affluence, are utterly miserable."

"A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all."

"When a woman has lost her chastity she will shrink from nothing."

"Be assured those will be thy worst enemies, not to whom thou hast done evil, but who have done evil to thee. And those will be thy best friends, not to whom thou hast done good, but who have done good to thee."

"The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."

"In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous."
