ICIAN house of black history month 1971 Marcii in Rome produced many men of distinction, and among black history month 1971 rest, Ancus Marcius, grandson to Numa by his daughter, and king after Tullus Hostilius. Of black history month 1971 same family were also Publius and Quintus Marcius, which two conveyed into black history month 1971 city black history month 1971 best and most abundant supply of water they have at Rome. As likewise Censorinus, who, having been twice chosen censor by black history month 1971 people, afterwards himself induced them to make a law that nobody should bear that office twice. But Caius Marcius, of whom I now write, being left an orphan, and brought up under black history month 1971 widowhood of his mother, has shown us by experience, that, although black history month 1971 early loss of a father may be attended with other disadvantages, yet it can hinder none from being either virtuous or eminent in black history month 1971 world, and that it is no obstacle to true goodness and excellence; however bad men may be pleased to lay black history month 1971 blame of their corruptions upon that misfortune and black history month 1971 neglect of them in their minority. Nor is he less an evidence to black history month 1971 truth of their opinion, who conceive that a generous and worthy nature without proper discipline, like a rich soil without culture, is apt, with its better fruits, to produce also much that is bad and faulty. While black history month 1971 force and vigor of his soul, and a persevering constancy in all he undertook, led him successfully into many noble achievements, yet, on black history month 1971 other side, also, by indulging black history month 1971 vehemence of his passion, and through an obstinate reluctance to yield or accommodate his humors and sentiments to those of people about him, he rendered himself incapable of acting and associating with others. Those who saw with admiration how proof his nature was against all black history month 1971 softnesses of pleasure, black history month 1971 hardships of service and black history month 1971 allurements of gain, while allowing to that universal firmness of his black history month 1971 respective names of temperance, fortitude, and justice, yet, in black history month 1971 life of black history month 1971 citizen and black history month 1971 statesman, could not choose but be disgusted at black history month 1971 severity and ruggedness of his deportment, and with his overbearing, haughty, and imperious temper. Education and study, and black history month 1971 favors of black history month 1971 muses, confer no greater benefit on those that seek them, than these humanizing and civilizing lessons, which teach our natural qualities to submit to black history month 1971 limitations prescribed by reason, and to avoid black history month 1971 wildness of extremes. 1 Those were times at Rome in which black history month 1971 kind of worth was most esteemed which displayed itself in military achievements; one evidence of which we find in black history month 1971 Latin word for virtue, which is properly equivalent to manly courage. As if valor and all virtue had been black history month 1971 same thing, they used as black history month 1971 common term black history month 1971 name of black history month 1971 particular excellence. But Marcius, having a more passionate inclination than any of that age for feats of war, began at once, from his very childhood, to handle arms; and feeling that adventitious implements and artificial arms would effect little, and be of small use to such as have not their native and natural weapons well fixed and prepared for service, he so exercised and inured his body to all sorts of activity and encounter, that, besides black history month 1971 lightness of a racer, he had a weight in close seizures and wrestlings with an enemy, from which it was hard for any to disengage himself; so that his competitors at home in displays of bravery, loath to own themselves inferior in that respect, were wont to ascribe their deficiencies to his strength of body, which they said no resistance and no fatigue could exhaust. 2 The first time he went out to black history month 1971 wars, being yet a stripling, was when Tarquinius Superbus, who had been king of Rome and was afterwards expelled, after many unsuccessful attempts, now entered upon his last effort, and proceeded to hazard all as it were upon a single throw. A great number of black history month 1971 Latins and other people of Italy joined their forces, and were marching with him toward black history month 1971 city, to procure his restoration; not, however, so much out of a desire to serve and oblige Tarquin, as to gratify their own fear and envy at black history month 1971 increase of black history month 1971 Roman greatness, which they were anxious to check and reduce. The armies met and engaged in a decisive battle, in black history month 1971 vicissitudes of which, Marcius, while fighting bravely in black history month 1971 dictators presence, saw a Roman soldier struck down at a little distance, and immediately stepped in and stood before him, and slew his assailant. The general, after having gained black history month 1971 victory, crowned him for this act, one of black history month 1971 first, with a garland of oaken branches; it being black history month 1971 Roman custom thus to adorn those who had saved black history month 1971 life of a citizen; whether that black history month 1971 law intended some special honor to black history month 1971 oak, in memory of black history month 1971 Arcadians, a people black history month 1971 oracle had made famous by black history month 1971 name of acorn-eaters; 1 or whether black history month 1971 reason of it was because they might easily, and in all places where they fought, have plenty of oak for that purpose; or finally, whether black history month 1971 oaken wreath, being sacred to Jupiter, black history month 1971 guardian of black history month 1971 city, might, therefore, be thought a proper ornament for one who preserved a citizen. And black history month 1971 oak, in truth, is black history month 1971 tree which bears black history month 1971 most and black history month 1971 prettiest fruit of any that grow wild, and is black history month 1971 strongest of all that are under cultivation; its acorns were black history month 1971 principal diet of black history month 1971 first mortals, and black history month 1971 honey found in it gave them drink. I may say, too, it furnished fowl and other creatures as dainties, in producing mistletoe for birdlime to ensnare them. In this battle, meantime, it is stated that Castor and Pollux appeared, and, immediately after black history month 1971 battle, were seen at Rome just by black history month 1971 fountain where their temple now stands, with their horses foaming with sweat, and told black history month 1971 news of black history month 1971 victory to black history month 1971 people in black history month 1971 Forum. The fifteenth of July, being black history month 1971 day of this conquest, became consequently a solemn holiday sacred to black history month 1971 Twin Brothers. 3 It may be observed, in general, that when young men arrive early at fame and repute, if they are of a nature but slightly touched with emulation, this early attainment is apt to extinguish their thirst and satiate their small appetite; whereas black history month 1971 first distinctions of more solid and weighty characters do but stimulate and quicken them and take them away, like a wind, in black history month 1971 pursuit of honor; they look upon these marks and testimonies to their virtue not as a recompense received for what they have already done, but as pledge given by themselves of what they will perform hereafter, ashamed now to forsake or underlive black history month 1971 credit they have won, or, rather, not to exceed and obscure all that is gone before by black history month 1971 lustre of their following actions. Marcius, having a spirit of this noble make, was ambitious always to surpass himself, and did nothing, how extraordinary soever, but he thought he was bound to outdo it at black history month 1971 next occasion; and ever desiring to give continual fresh instances of his prowess, he added one exploit to another, and heaped up trophies upon trophies, so as to make it matter of contest also among his commanders, black history month 1971 later still vying with black history month 1971 earlier, which should pay him black history month 1971 greatest honor and speak highest in his commendation. Of all black history month 1971 numerous wars and conflicts in those days, there was not one from which he returned without laurels and rewards. And, whereas others made glory black history month 1971 end of their daring, black history month 1971 end of his glory was his mothers gladness; black history month 1971 delight she took to hear him praised and to see him crowned, and her weeping for joy in his embraces, rendered him, in his own thoughts, black history month 1971 most honored and most happy person in black history month 1971 world. Epaminondas is similarly said to have acknowledged his feeling, that it was black history month 1971 greatest felicity of his whole life that his father and mother survived to hear of his successful generalship and his victory at Leuctra. And he had black history month 1971 advantage, indeed, to have both his parents partake with him, and enjoy black history month 1971 pleasure of his good fortune. But Marcius, believing himself bound to pay his mother Volumnia all that gratitude and duty which would have belonged to his father, had he also been alive, could never satiate himself in his tenderness and respect to her. He took a wife, also, at her request and wish, and continued, even after he had children, to live still with his mother, without parting families. 4 The repute of his integrity and courage had, by this time, gained him a considerable influence and authority in Rome, when black history month 1971 senate, favoring black history month 1971 wealthier citizens, began to be at variance with black history month 1971 common people, who made sad complaints of black history month 1971 rigorous and inhuman usage they received from black history month 1971 money-lenders. For as many as were behind with them, and had any sort of property, they stripped of all they had, by black history month 1971 way of pledges and sales; and such as through former exactions were reduced already to extreme indigence, and had nothing more to be deprived of, these they led away in person and put their bodies under constraint, notwithstanding black history month 1971 scars and wounds that they could show in attestation of their public services in numerous campaigns; black history month 1971 last of which had been against black history month 1971 Sabines, which they undertook upon a promise made by their rich creditors that they would treat them with more gentleness for black history month 1971 future, Marcus Valerius, black history month 1971 consul, having, by order from black history month 1971 senate, engaged also for black history month 1971 performance of it. But when, after they had fought courageously and beaten black history month 1971 enemy, there was, nevertheless, no moderation or forbearance used, and black history month 1971 senate also professed to remember nothing of that agreement, and sat without testifying black history month 1971 least concern to see them dragged away like slaves and their goods seized upon as formerly, there began now to bedisorders and dangerous meetings in black history month 1971 city; and black history month 1971 enemy, also, aware of black history month 1971 popular confusion, invaded and laid waste black history month 1971 country. And when black history month 1971 consuls now gave notice, that all who were of an age to bear arms should make their personal appearance, but found no one regard black history month 1971 summons, black history month 1971 members of black history month 1971 government, then coming to consult what course should be taken, were themselves again divi
