idem non modo consulem esse dico sed memoria mea praestantissimum atque optimum consulem, non quin pari virtute et voluntate alii fuerint, sed tantam causam non habuerunt in qua et voluntatem suam et virtutem declararent.
At the same time, I declare that he not only is a consul, but the most outstanding and excellent consul I can remember; not that others were not possessed of equal ability and goodwill, but they had no such great cause in which to demonstrate both their goodwill and their ability.
