Scipio uero Africanus turpe esse aiebat in re militari dicere 'non putaram', uidelicet quia explorato et excusso consilio quae ferro aguntur administrari oportere arbitrabatur. summa ratione: inemendabilis est enim error, qui uiolentiae Martis committitur. idem negabat aliter cum hoste confligi debere, quam aut si occasio obuenisset aut necessitas incidisset. aeque prudenter: nam et prospere gerendae rei facultatem omittere maxima dementia est et in angustias utique pugnandi conpulsum abstinere se proelio pestiferae ignauiae adfert exitum, eorumque, qui ista conmittunt, alter beneficio fortunae uti, alter iniuriae nescit resistere.
Valerius Maximus. Factorvm et Dictorvm Memorabilivm, Libri Novem. Karl Friedrich Kempf. Leipsig. Teubner. 1888. Keyboarding.
