Additional quotes by Sallust

For the fame of riches and beauty is fickle and frail, while virtue is eternally excellent.

As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay.

Namque pauci libertatem, pars magna iustos dominos volunt.
