At populo Romano numquam ea copia fuit, quia prudentissumus quisque maxume negotiosus erat; ingenium nemo sine corpore exercebat; optumus quisque facere quam dicere, sua ab aliis benefacta laudari quam ipse aliorum narrare malebat.
But the Roman people never had this advantage, since their cleverest men were always most engaged with affairs; no one employed his intellect apart from his body; the best individuals preferred action to words, to have their good deeds praised by others rather than to be themselves reporters of others accomplishments.
