Enituit aliquis in bello, sed obsolevit in pace; alium toga sed non et arma honestarunt; reverentiam ille terrore, alius amorem humilitate captavit; ille quaesitam domi gloriam in publico, hic in publico partam domi perdidit; postremo adhuc nemo exstitit, cuius virtutes nullo vitiorum confinio laederentur.
One man may have shone in war, but his glory has grown dim in time of peace, while another has distinguished himself in civil life but not in arms. Some have won respect through mens fear, while others in courting popularity have sunk low. Sometimes the honour gained at home has been thrown away outside it, while at others a public reputation has been lost in private life. In fact there has been no one up till now whose virtues have remained unsullied by the close proximity of his faults.
