2. "You call him a man, who, had he been a man, would never so cruelly have sought another man's life. But he was his enemy. Did he therefore wish thus to avenge himself upon his enemy, only to prove himself his own enemy?" (Ad Herennium)
2. " Leave riches to the rich man, but as for you, to riches prefer virtue, for if you will
but compare riches with virtue, riches will in your eyes prove scarcely worthy to be the lackeys of virtue." (Ad Herennium)
