Now it is a reminiscence of Homer: aliud clausum in pectore, aliud in lingua promptum habere; now of a Latin tragedian: secundae res sapientium animos fatigant. Much allowance must be made for Sallust's defects, when we remember that no model of historical writing yet existed at Rome. Some of the aphorisms which are scattered in his book are wonderfully condensed, and have passed into proverbs.
"Au contraire, as I find my dear uncle alive, it will be all the easier for him to show himself amiable towards me." "How? Explain yourself!" "Well, I do not ask you for a yearly allowance, ce serait bien fatigant for us both. My proposal is that you pay my debts in a lump sum, and there shall be peace between us." "Hum! Most magnanimous! And if I do not pay them, I suppose war will be declared?"
