Utcumque ergo
se res publica dabit, utcumque fortuna permittet,
ita aut explicabimus nos aut contrahemus, utique
movebimus nec alligati metu torpebimus. Immo ille
vir fuerit, qui periculis undique imminentibus, armis
circa et catenis frementibus non alliserit virtutem
nec absconderit ; non est enim servare se obruere.
