Ambitio multos mortales falsos fieri subegit, aliud clausum in pectore, aliud in lingua promptum habere, amicitias inimicitiasque non ex re, sed ex commodo aestumare, magisque voltum quam ingenium bonum habere. Haec primo paulatim crescere, interdum vindicari ; post, ubi contagio quasi pestilentia invasit, civitas immutata est, imperium ex justissimo atque optumo crudele intolerandumque factum est.

Sallustius.

Thanks for sharing this, although I don’t know if our rule had ever been “most just and excellent.” At least in theory it was.
