Tacitus | truth
Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.
Tacitus | peace
To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace.
Tacitus | history
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.
