[Lat., Vita ipsa qua fruimur brevis est.] - Catilina (I) [Life] The man who is roused neither by glory nor by danger it is in vain to exhort; terror closes the ears of the mind. [Lat., Quem neque gloria neque pericula excitant, nequidquam hortere; timor animi auribus officit.] - Catilina (LVIII) [Fear] Covetous of the property of others and prodigal of his own. [Lat., Alieni appetens sui profusus.] - Catilina (V) [Covetousness] Displaying page 1 of 2 for this author: Next >> [1] 2
