CONSILIO ... SENTENTIA: consilio, advice; auctoritate, weight of influence; sententia, an opinion or vote formally given. QUIBUS: in twofold relation; with orbari, abl. of separation, with augeri of specification. NISI FORTE: ironical, used to introduce a possible, but absurd objection to something which has gone before. The verb that follows is always in the indicative.
At vero multo maiora et meliora facit. Non viribus aut velocitate aut celeritate corporum res magnae geruntur, sed consilio auctoritate sententia, quibus non modo non orbari, sed etiam augeri senectus solet; 18 nisi forte ego vobis, qui et miles et tribunus et legatus et consul versatus sum in vario genere bellorum, cessare nunc videor, cum bella non gero.
