Caesar only opposed the authority of his countenance and the haughty sharpness of his rebukes to his mutinous legions in arms against him: "Stetit aggere fulti Cespitis, intrepidus vultu: meruitque timeri, Nil metuens."
Didicere jam barbari quoque ignoscere vitiis blandientibus: et interventus civilium armorum praebuit justam segnitiae excusationem: sed discordia laboratum, cum assuetus expeditionibus miles otio lasciviret. Trebellius fuga ac latebris vitata exercitus ira, indecorus atque humilis, precario mox praefuit: ac velut pacti, exercitus licentiam, dux salutem; et seditio sine sanguina stetit.
"Deus stetit in synagoga deorum: in medio autem Deus dijudicat " chanted strong, nasal voices, issuing from the small window, which continued in full chorus one of the psalms, interrupted by blows of the hammer an infernal deed beating time to celestial songs. One might have supposed himself near a smithy, except that the blows were dull, and manifested to the ear that the anvil was a man's body.

Nulla mansit ars qualis inventa est, nec intra initium stetit; Plerumque facilius est plus facere, quam idem; Nihil in studiis parvum est; Cito scribendo non fit ut bene scribatur, bene scribendo fit ut cito; Omnia nostra dum nascuntur placent, alioqui nec scriberentur; such sayings as these, expressed with admirable terseness and lucidity, are scattered all over the work, and have a value far beyond the limits of any single study.
"Rex stetit ante fores, jurans prius urbis honores, Post homo fit papae, sumit quo dante coronam." Lothair, however, never saw this record of his visit.
The king looked at it, and with a look which, ever since he had become his own master, was ever piercing as the eagle's, observed an insulting device representing Holland arresting the progress of the sun, with this inscription: "In conspectu meo stetit sol." "In my presence the sun stands still," exclaimed the king, furiously. "Ah! you will hardly deny it now, I suppose."
Supply sunt with pacti. Doed. and Wr. supply essent; but they read haec for et before seditio contrary to the best MSS. Et seditio. Et==and so. Al. haec seditio. Stetit. Not stopped, but stood, as in our phrase: stood them in so much. So Ovid: Multo sanguine victoria stetit. And T. His. 3, 53: Majore damno veteres civium discordias reipublicae stetisse. Render: cost no blood. Dr. Petulantia.
Versus locum vbi hoc brachium exit de mari est late terrae planities, in qua antiquitus stetit Troia Ciuitas de qua apud Poetas mira leguntur sed nunc valde modica apparent vestigia Ciuitatis.
The most striking incidents are incidents of discipline. The most striking incident of all is the execution by a commander of his own son for having gained a victory against orders. "Disciplinam militarem," Manlius is made to say, "qua stetit ad hanc diem Romana res." Discipline was the great secret of Roman ascendency in war. It is the great secret of all ascendency in war.
