Tacitus Politics Quotations

It belongs to human nature to hate those you have injured.

Nothing mortal is so unstable and subject to change as power which has no foundation.

In the struggle between those seeking power there is no middle course.

Seek to make a person blush for their guilt rather than shed their blood.

Crime, once exposed, has no refuge but in audacity.

Cruelty is fed, not weakened, by tears.

Formerly we suffered from crimes; now we suffer from laws.
