Titus Livius

War is just to those to whom war is necessary.

The populace is like the sea motionless in itself, but stirred by every wind, even the lightest breeze.

Men are only clever at shifting blame from their own shoulders to those of others.

There is always more spirit in attack than in defence.

In difficult and desperate cases, the boldest counsels are the safest.

Men are slower to recognize blessings than misfortunes.

Greater is our terror of the unknown.
Titus Livius - History
Better late than never.

I approach these questions unwillingly, as they are sore subjects, but no cure can be effected without touching upon and handling them.

Many difficulties which nature throws in our way, may be smoothed away by the exercise of intelligence.

- Titus Livius
