Nihil est simultatibus gravius, has ira conciliat ; nihil est bello funestius, in hoc potentium ira prorumpit ; ceterum etiam illa plebeia ira et privata inerme et sine viribus bellum est. Praeterea ira, ut seponamus, quae mox secutura sunt, damna, insidias, perpetuam ex certaminibus mutuis sollicitudinem, dat poenas dum exigit; naturam hominis eiurat : illa in amorem hortatur, haec in odium ; illa prodesse iubet, haec nocere.
