Quotes by Adrian Goldsworthy (?)

“For what is the life of a man, if it is not interwoven with the life of former generations by as sense of history. [Cicero, quoted by Goldsworthy in his Augustus]”

“Democracy, indeed, has a fair-appearing name . . . Monarchy . . . has an unpleasant sound, but is a most practical form of government to live under. For it is easier to find a single excellent man than many of them . . . for it does not belong to the majority of men to acquire virtue . . . Indeed, if ever there has been a prosperous democracy, it has in any case been at its best for only a brief period.’ Dio, early third century AD.1 Augustus”
― Adrian Goldsworthy, Augustus: From Revolutionary to Emperor

“Personal hatreds and rivalry loomed larger in most senator's minds than the good of the Republic. [A big problem then and now]”
