21859 | Why should protesters in century four be more entitled to a hearing than protesters in century three? |
21859 | Will any one show that those monarchs can be fairly called specimens of the nation, any more than Zingis was the specimen of the Tartars? |
21859 | Would you take to prison or to death? |
21859 | Yet their repeated protests and efforts were all about what? |
21859 | Yet what, I say, was the reception which the cowardly suppliants had given to their avengers and protectors? |
21859 | You will ask perhaps how he gained this immense power; did he inherit it? |
21859 | and concerning the six days of the Pascha, why do they order us to take nothing at all but bread, salt, and water?... |
21859 | and how has he been the enduring enemy of the Turk, if he acquiesced in the Turk''s long course of victories? |
21859 | and secondly, can a barbarian state ever become civilized? |
21859 | and what is to be done with the great principle,"Unity, not Uniformity,"if Canons are to be recognized, which command uniformity as well as unity? |
21859 | and what room was there for private judgment, if they had to obey the bidding of certain fallible men? |
21859 | did they take refuge in the mountains or deserts? |
21859 | did you fear that I would desert the Church, and, for fear of my life, abandon you? |
21859 | do I see my wife I just now buried?" |
21859 | is it his own Christianity? |
21859 | is it not wonderful that the victim of it was able to live as many as nine months under such a visitation? |
21859 | rather has it not been an injury, as causing hatred and dissension? |
21859 | shall we accept it or not? |
21859 | shall we give up our knowledge of times past altogether, or endure to gain a knowledge which we think we have already-- the knowledge of divine truth? |
21859 | shall we relapse into scepticism upon all subjects, or sacrifice our deep- rooted prejudices? |
21859 | shall we retreat, or shall we advance? |
21859 | they asked;"was he not an old man, five hundred years of age? |
21859 | was it like any Protestant denomination at all? |
21859 | was it like the Scotch Kirk? |
21859 | was it like the Society of Friends? |
21859 | were they driven out of Sogdiana again? |
21859 | were they massacred? |
21859 | were they reduced to slavery? |
21859 | what answer is to be given? |
21859 | what suspicion of imposture? |
21859 | why did he not rather say,''But although I?'' |
21859 | yet what and where are they without the Koran? |
28676 | A Roman army sits round Pompey and makes him a prisoner within valley and rampart-- and shall we live? 28676 A little late to welcome me, eh?" |
28676 | But what have I to do with lictors,he says,"who am almost ordered to leave the shores of Italy? |
28676 | But what was the meaning of it all? 28676 By what right, by what law,"he asks,"shall Cassius go to Syria? |
28676 | Did he defend Poetus? |
28676 | Did he kill him? 28676 Did he know of you whether you were a white man or a negro? |
28676 | Did you ever hear of a worse knave? |
28676 | Do you remember how Dolabella fought for you in Spain, when you were getting drunk at Narbo? 28676 Has not Hirtius, who has gone away, sick as he is, called it a war? |
28676 | He gives a birthday fête in his garden: to whom, I wonder? 28676 Is this he whom we used to know in the city? |
28676 | Sed quid agas? 28676 Shall Brutus talk of July?" |
28676 | Shall I, the savior of the city, assist to bring down upon that city those hordes of foreign men? 28676 Shall we defend the deeds of him at whose death we are rejoiced?" |
28676 | What would you say if you read my last letter to Appius? |
28676 | Who is there, I ask,he says,"who alleges Ligarius to have been in fault because he was in Africa? |
28676 | Who the mischief are these Pindenissians? 28676 Who wanted to go to Egypt?" |
28676 | Why do I-- I who am a man of peace-- refuse peace? 28676 Why do you talk to me of your tunny- fish, your pilot- fish, and your cheese and sardines? |
28676 | Would you not call him a very Lælius? |
28676 | You deny that I have had legacies? 28676 You have made me a prefect,"said Gavius;"where am I to go for my rations?" |
28676 | [ 118]--What would you have me do? |
28676 | [ 276] What can be truer, or less likely, we may suppose, to meet us in a treatise on philosophy, and, therefore, more welcome? 28676 [ 334]"Who is there, when he thinks that a God is taking care of him, shall not live day and night in awe of his divine majesty?" |
28676 | ''What music is that,''said I,''swelling so loudly and yet so sweet?'' |
28676 | *** And then am I not regretting at every moment the life of Rome-- the Forum, the city itself, my own house? |
28676 | *** Can you have an assured peace while there is an Antony in the State-- or many Antonys? |
28676 | *** Do you bear in mind,"he says,"that you were a bankrupt as soon as you had become a man? |
28676 | *** Why does not Antony come down among us to- day?" |
28676 | *** Will he kill him?" |
28676 | *** Would you mind telling me what height Turselius stood?" |
28676 | 45? |
28676 | A Charybdis do I call him? |
28676 | All his wine, the great weight of silver, the costly furniture and rich dresses, in a few days where were they all? |
28676 | All mere workmen are engaged in ignoble employment: what of grandeur can the mere workshop produce? |
28676 | Am I not always regretting you? |
28676 | Among those who did do the deed, whose name has been hidden-- or, indeed, is not most widely known? |
28676 | And again he says, speaking of God''s care,"Quis enim potest-- quam existimet a deo se curari-- non et dies, et noctes divinum numen horrere? |
28676 | And did he despise pain, or make any attempt at showing his disregard of it? |
28676 | And having done so, was he not bound to endure the enmity he had provoked? |
28676 | And how did you get back from Narbo? |
28676 | And who can fight them but after some fashion of their own? |
28676 | Antony is his friend, and why had Antony treated him so roughly? |
28676 | Are they to be found in notes and scraps and small documents brought forward by one witness, or not brought forward at all but only told to us? |
28676 | Are you all uncles to Antony?" |
28676 | Are you not a little late to welcome me as one of my friends? |
28676 | As to the third charge-- that of insincerity-- I would ask of my readers to bethink themselves how few men are sincere now? |
28676 | But of what Pompey was it that I so spoke? |
28676 | But tell me, Calenus, is slavery peace?" |
28676 | But then, how are we to judge of Cicero? |
28676 | But what are houses falling to him? |
28676 | But what attempt did he ever make? |
28676 | But what has it to do with the nature of the gods? |
28676 | But what is cowardice? |
28676 | But where have you learned that, seeing that I have inherited twenty million sesterces? |
28676 | But who can be made Consuls in the place of Pansa and Hirtius? |
28676 | But why has Appius taken away three of the fullest cohorts, seeing that in the entire province the number of soldiers left has been so small? |
28676 | By the gods, do you not wonder at it? |
28676 | Can St. Paul have expressed with more clearness his belief as to a heaven? |
28676 | Can any man read the records of this long affection without wishing that he might be blessed with such a friendship? |
28676 | Can any one say that Cicero was base to have rejoiced that Cæsar had been killed? |
28676 | Can there be anything more absurd than to demand so great a preparation for so small a journey? |
28676 | Can you deny this, you who are creating all means of delays by which Decimus may be weakened and Antony made strong?" |
28676 | Can you expect glory from them? |
28676 | Cicero puts forward his excuses, and then bursts out with the real truth:"Why should I nibble round the unpalatable morsel which has to be swallowed?" |
28676 | Clodius was killed by my counsels-- was he? |
28676 | Clodius, rising in his anger, demanded,"Who had brought the famine?" |
28676 | Could Cæsar have told us all his feelings? |
28676 | Could any of us have refused to speak to Cæsar with adulation-- any of us whom circumstances compelled to speak to him? |
28676 | Crassus, noted for usury, i., 102; did he join Catiline? |
28676 | Did he ever desert his ship, when he had engaged himself to serve? |
28676 | Did he offer to help and not help? |
28676 | Did he think of this as he walked on the shore of Puteoli-- or of the ceremony he was about to encounter before he ate his dinner? |
28676 | Did he want to see the villa? |
28676 | Did they occasion him remorse? |
28676 | Do they remember how many Romans in public life had been murdered during the last dozen years? |
28676 | Do you remember your early friendship with Curio, and the injuries you did his father?" |
28676 | Does not the Church admit prayers for change of weather? |
28676 | For Pompey''s sake am I to let in these crowds? |
28676 | Had an attempt been made to recall Cæsar illegally? |
28676 | Had he done well in joining himself to Pompey? |
28676 | Had he ever taken more than one loan from Cæsar? |
28676 | Had not Cicero too rejoiced at the uncle''s murder? |
28676 | Had you any command from the Roman people to ask the same for them? |
28676 | Has he not revelled in his passions, feeling them to be just, righteous, honest, and becoming a man? |
28676 | Has he regretted them? |
28676 | Has he shown himself to us to be a man with a leaning toward such attempts? |
28676 | Has not young Cæsar, young as he is, prompted to it by no one, undertaken it as a war?" |
28676 | Has your name or has mine been able, over this small morsel of the earth''s surface, to ascend Mount Caucasus or to cross the Ganges? |
28676 | Have they thought of the danger which he did run when they bring those charges against him? |
28676 | He begins mildly enough, but warms with his subject as he goes on:"Should they send ambassadors to a traitor to his country? |
28676 | He did not care to fight; but are all men cowards who do not care to fight when work can be so much better done by talking? |
28676 | He had agreed to go on this embassy-- who can say for what motives? |
28676 | He thinks that he may in this way perhaps best serve the public, or even"if it be not so, what else is there that he may find to do? |
28676 | He took a present of books from his friend Poetus, and asked another friend what"Cincius"would say to it? |
28676 | He was going for the sake of his son; but would not people say that he went to avoid the present danger? |
28676 | He will die with Pompey in Italy, but what can he do by leaving it? |
28676 | His doings during the whole of this time were but little to his credit; but who is there whose doings were to his credit at that period? |
28676 | How did Cicero show his fear? |
28676 | How is a man to live by listening to such trash as this?" |
28676 | How is he to support seven legions? |
28676 | How is it that a correspondence, which is for its main purpose so full, should have fallen so short in many of its details? |
28676 | How many a man has since learned to regret the lost labor of his household; and yet what god has been the better? |
28676 | How near have we approached to the beauty of truth, with all Christ''s teaching to guide us? |
28676 | How should Lepidus doubt now when victory had declared for the Republic? |
28676 | How, then, could it be that he should ask for so small a thing as a triumph in reward for so small a deed as that done at Pindenissum? |
28676 | How, then, shall I now write in terms which shall suffice for his pride to the man who has been equalled to Romulus?" |
28676 | I am bound to oblige you-- but how can I do so in opposition to your own lessons? |
28676 | If because he wrote it, and did not speak it, what shall be said of the party writers of to- day? |
28676 | If he be blamed because his Philippic was anonymous, how do the anonymous writers of to- day escape? |
28676 | If he were a coward, why did he hurry into this contest with Antony? |
28676 | If he were a coward, why did he write it at all? |
28676 | If she would deduct something from so small a sum, what would she do if it were larger? |
28676 | If, then, you despair of reaching this abode, which all of true excellence strive to approach, what glory is there to be gained? |
28676 | In the midst of this, how many a father of a family is there who goes to church for the sake of example? |
28676 | In this condition was it not better for him to go with the other Generals of the Empire rather than to perish with a falling party? |
28676 | In what city was Hannibal as cruel as Antony at Parma; and shall we not call him an enemy?" |
28676 | Is it only because I am an Englishman that he seems to me to describe that form of government which was to come in England? |
28676 | Is there any end to this misery? |
28676 | Is this our talkative Senator? |
28676 | Looking at the state of the Roman Empire when Cicero died, who would not declare its doom? |
28676 | Now what do you, followers of Epicurus, say to this? |
28676 | Of whom would we wish that the familiar letters of another about ourselves should be published? |
28676 | Or how can it be possible, when each of us must take the cause as it comes to him? |
28676 | Or how can you be at peace with one who hates you as does he; or how can he be at peace with those who hate him as do you? |
28676 | Shall I deliver it up to famine and to destruction for the sake of one man who is no more than mortal? |
28676 | Shall I not by the same aid restore you to yours?" |
28676 | Shall I remain sitting here? |
28676 | Shall I rush hither and thither madly, and implore the credit of the towns? |
28676 | Shall he send word to Cæsar that he will wait upon him nearer to Rome? |
28676 | Shall we forgive a house- breaker because the tools which he has himself invented are used at last upon his own door? |
28676 | Should he seek the uncomfortable refuge of Brutus''s army? |
28676 | Six hundred mules on the stage in the acting of Clytemnestra, or three thousand golden goblets in The Trojan Horse-- what delight could they give you? |
28676 | So it is thus that Cæsar''s acts are to be maintained? |
28676 | The first words we know because they have been quoted by Quintilian,"Oh ye gods immortal, what day is this which has shone upon me at last? |
28676 | Then why, it may be asked, did he write so many essays on philosophy-- enough to have consumed the energies of many laborious years? |
28676 | Then, as to the other, why was he leaving his country- house so suddenly? |
28676 | There of course arises the question, who is to decide whether a man be a tyrant? |
28676 | They who speak of you-- for how short a time will their voices be heard? |
28676 | To Phormio, perhaps, or Gnatho, or Ballion? |
28676 | Was Cicero mean in his conduct toward Cæsar? |
28676 | Was Cicero sincere to his party, was he sincere to his friends, was he sincere to his family, was he sincere to his dependents? |
28676 | Was Hannibal at the gate, or were they dealing for peace with Pyrrhus, as was the case when they brought the old blind Appius down to the House? |
28676 | Was he subjected to wrong by having his command taken away from him before the period had passed for which the people had given it? |
28676 | Was he wrong at such a moment to save his life for the Republic-- and for himself? |
28676 | Was it considered base by other Romans of the day? |
28676 | Was it for this that he had bade the Senate"fear nothing"as to young Octavian,"but always still look for better and greater things?" |
28676 | Was it not better so? |
28676 | Was it of this one who flies he knows not what, nor whom, nor whither he will fly? |
28676 | Was it unusual for Senators to be absent? |
28676 | Was that Greek philosophy? |
28676 | Was there ever a man of whom it might be said with less truth that he was indifferent as to pain? |
28676 | Was this cowardice? |
28676 | Was this the man to console himself with the idea that death was no evil? |
28676 | What business had Brutus to think the senate cowardly? |
28676 | What can be better worth our study than philosophy, or what more heavenly than virtue? |
28676 | What can be more"pestiferous,"or more prone to sedition? |
28676 | What can have been worse to a young man than to have been open to such payment? |
28676 | What could a dead man do for his country? |
28676 | What fame can you expect from men, or what glory? |
28676 | What if we had Pompey''s thoughts and Cæsar''s, would they be less so? |
28676 | What is it to him that politicians are cutting each other''s throats around him? |
28676 | What is it to us whether this or that event has been decreed while we live, and while each follows his own devices? |
28676 | What matters it to the unknown man whether a Cæsar or a Pompey is at the top of all things? |
28676 | What name would be so good to bind together the opponents of Cæsar as that of Cicero? |
28676 | What oration was nipped in the bud by fear of his creditor? |
28676 | What other Roman governor of whom we have heard would have made a question on the subject? |
28676 | What sense is duller? |
28676 | What was it that you desired so eagerly, with those eyes and hands, with that passion in your heart? |
28676 | What was one honest man among so many? |
28676 | What was the meaning of your weapon? |
28676 | What was your sword doing, Tubero, in that Pharsalian army? |
28676 | What would the Consuls do, what would Curio do, what would Pompey do, and what Cæsar? |
28676 | What would you have me say? |
28676 | What would you have? |
28676 | What, at last, is the good thing, and what the evil thing, and how shall we gain the one and avoid the other? |
28676 | When did Sabbatarian observances begin to be required by the Word of God, and when again did they cease to be so? |
28676 | When no one can expect to find the thing sought for, who can seek diligently? |
28676 | When was your voice heard in the Forum? |
28676 | Where did he get the idea that it was a good thing not to torment the poor wretches that were subjected to his power? |
28676 | Where did he, who had been so greatly in debt before he went to Spain, get the million with which he bribed his adherents? |
28676 | Whither shall the men go if Antony refuses to obey them?" |
28676 | Who can strive to do good and not fight beasts? |
28676 | Who could that be but Cæsar? |
28676 | Who denies it? |
28676 | Who ever saw a fouler deed than that, or one more worthy scourges?" |
28676 | Who had counted more enemies in Rome than Marius? |
28676 | Who has ever heard me mentioned as having been conversant with that glorious affair? |
28676 | Who has left behind him so widely spread a breadth of literature? |
28676 | Who has made so many efforts, and has so well succeeded in them all? |
28676 | Who in the regions of the rising or setting sun has heard of our fame? |
28676 | Who is there can not do so much as that? |
28676 | Who is there can read them now so as accurately to decipher every intended detail? |
28676 | Who is there that would ride a new horse in preference to one tried-- one who knows your hand? |
28676 | Who knows anything about it? |
28676 | Who knows aught of that Crassus, or of that Antony, or of those Cæsars? |
28676 | Who should be so called but they who have been valiant, and lucky, and successful? |
28676 | Who told Cæsar of the foul words, and why were they read to him on this occasion? |
28676 | Who would have believed in him had he seemed to be so false? |
28676 | Whom did you seek to kill then? |
28676 | Whom was he not compelled to fear? |
28676 | Why all this delay, and turning backward and forward? |
28676 | Why did he travel so slowly at this time of the year? |
28676 | Why has all this been done within less than two years? |
28676 | Why not? |
28676 | Why not? |
28676 | Why should I tell you of it all? |
28676 | Why should he do this so late in the evening? |
28676 | Why should not a young man so furnished want a horse at Athens? |
28676 | Why should you and I be pardoned and not Ligarius? |
28676 | Why was he bound to obey Cicero, who was then at Rome, sending out his orders without official authority? |
28676 | Why was it that he took such an un- Roman pleasure in making the people happy? |
28676 | Will any one believe that he might not as well have consoled himself with one of his treatises on oratory? |
28676 | Will any one tell me that such a one has lived with the conviction that he might conquer the evils of the world by controlling his passions? |
28676 | Will your enmity against me be a recommendation for you to every evil citizen in Rome? |
28676 | With himself the matter was different:"In what else is there that I can do better?" |
28676 | With such an army as this do you expect me to do things like a Macedonicus? |
28676 | Would it not have been mean had he allowed those men to go and fight in Macedonia without him? |
28676 | Would they not say that he had remained away because he was Cæsar''s man? |
28676 | Would those objectionable epithets as to Pompey have been allowed to hold their ground had Pompey lived and had they been in his possession? |
28676 | [ 10] What hope could there be for an oligarchy when such things occurred in the Senate? |
28676 | [ 222]"Is he not responsible for the horrors of Dolabella? |
28676 | [ 227] Who can be afraid of Antony conquered who did not fear him in his strength? |
28676 | [ 22] As for himself, continued Cicero, if Cæsar had been his enemy, what of that? |
28676 | [ 277]*** You may snore, if you will, as well as sleep,"says Carneades;"what good will it do you? |
28676 | and having done so, had he done well in severing himself, immediately on Pompey''s death, from the Pompeians? |
28676 | and might it not be the case that he should be of service if he remained? |
28676 | and what courage? |
28676 | but can there be anything more unjust than, in discussing a matter, to remember all its evils and to forget all its merits? |
28676 | but did they recall Marius when he was fighting for the Republic? |
28676 | of what was the nature of the fight? |
28676 | says Ennius;"do n''t I know your voice?" |
28676 | when did you do any service either in peace or war? |
28676 | when has your counsel been put to the proof? |
28676 | xiii., 40--"What good news could Brutus hear of Cæsar, unless that he hung himself?" |
