    (1) Sallust, The Conspiracy of Catiline (c. 40 BC)

    Kings are more suspicious of good men than of bad, and always fear men of merit... the Romans... introduced a new system in which authority was divided between two annually elected rulers; the limitation of their power, it was thought, would prevent them being tempted to abuse it.

    (2) Sallust, The Jugurthine War (c. 40 BC)

"At the moment," he went on, "I am the object of their attack, as the Carthaginians were some time ago... So it will go on: they will always choose the richest victim they can find."

    (3) Sallust, The Jugurthine War (c. 40 BC)

    The lower classes... whose ability to earn or to obtain credit depended solely on the labour of their hands, left their work to follow Marius about, regarding their own needs as less important than his advancement. The result was that the nobles were defeated, and for the first time in many years a newcomer to politics and was elected consul.
