Additional quotes by Claudian

Peragit tranquilla potestas
quod violenta nequit; mandataque fortius urget
imperiosa quies.

Iam non ad culmina rerum
iniustos crevisse queror; tolluntur in altum
ut lapsu graviore ruant.

In commune iubes si quid censesque tenendum, primus iussa subi: tunc observantior aequi fit populus nec ferre negat, cum viderit ipsum auctorem parere sibi. componitur orbis regis ad exemplum, nec sic inflectere sensus humanos edicta valent quam vita regentis. Mobile mutatur semper cum principe vulgus.
