The Roman State Stands By

I Never Indulge In Rhyme Or Stanza Unless I'm In Bed With The Influenza.

One Man By Delay Restored The State, For He Preferred The Public Safety To Idle Report. [lat., Unus Homo Nobis Cunctando Restituit Rem, Non Ponebat Enim Rumores Ante Salutem.]

Let No One Pay Me Honor With Tears, Nor Celebrate My Funeral Rites With Weeping.

That Is True Liberty, Which Bears A Pure And Firm Breast.

One Man Restored Our Fortunes By Delay. [by Skilfully Avoiding An Engagement, Fabius Exhausted The Resources Of The Enemy.]
