     summary: Other great men have been either too really great to entertain the feeling, or have been wise enough to keep it to themselves. Yet, in spite of this, such men were as the salt of the earth in a corrupt age; and as we find, throughout the more modern pages of history, great preachers denouncing wickedness in high places,--Bourdaloue and Massillon pouring their eloquence into the heedless ears of Louis XIV, and his courtiers--Sherlock and Tillotson declaiming from the pulpit in such stirring accents that even the indolent Charles roused himself to listen, and the fastidious Buckingham forgot to sneer[1]--so, too, do we find these monks of heathendom, as the Stoics have been not unfairly called, protesting in their day against that selfish profligacy which was fast sapping all morality in the Roman empire.

     summary: Accordingly, when a question arises now about the spoliation of the Church, we are obliged to betake ourselves to the rules of _national_ law; we appeal to precedents, or we urge the civil consequences of the measure, or we use other arguments, which, good as they may be, are too refined to be very popular. Quæst._ i. 12.

     summary: As Appius was elected Censor immediately after his acquittal, together with that Piso whom Cicero had so hated, it may be understood that his influence was very great.[117] It was great enough to produce from Cicero letters which were flattering and false. So young Cicero is furnished, and sent forth to learn philosophy and Greek.

     summary: In the conduct of the affair against Catiline Cicero seems to have been actuated by pure patriotism, and to have been supported by a fine courage; but he knew that in destroying Lentulus and Cethegus he subjected himself to certain dangers. In Rome men under afflictions, particularly if under accusation, showed themselves in soiled garments so as to attract pity, and the meaning here is that Rullus went about as though under grief at the condition of his poor fellow-citizens, who were distressed by the want of this agrarian law.
