Life of Cicero

CHAPTER XII
86/137

But there is a spirit which can content itself with no achievements; there is but one feeling of shame--that of not conquering; a man determined, not to be controlled, taking his arms wherever lust of conquest or anger may call him; a man never sparing the sword, creating all things from his own good-fortune trusting always the favors of the gods." [1] Froude's Caesar, p.

444.
[2] Ibid., p.

428.
[3] Ad Att., lib.xiii., 28.
[4] Ad Att., lib.ix., 10.
[5] Froude, p.

365.
[6] Ad Att., lib.ii., 5: "Quo quidem uno ego ab istis capi possum." [7] The Cincian law, of which I shall have to speak again, forbade Roman advocates to take any payment for their services.

Cicero expressly declares that he has always obeyed that law.
