An parva pronaque sunt ad aemulandum quod nemo incolumitatem turpitudine rependit, salva est omnibus vita et dignitas vitae, nec iam consideratus et sapiens, qui aetatem in tenebris agit? Eadem quippe sub principe virtutibus praemia quae in libertate, nec bene factis tantum ex conscientia merces.
No one could imagine it easy for any comer to repeat a situation where no one need purchase security by disgrace, where everyones life is safe and safe with honour, where foresight and prudence no longer prompt men to spend a lifetime keeping out of sight. The rewards of virtue are now the same under an emperor as they were in times of liberty, and good deeds win more solid recognition than the mere consciousness of having performed them.
