Pliny The Younger Quotes
Being Lately Engaged To Plead A Cause Before The Court Of The Hundred, The Crowd Was So Great That I Could Not Get To My Place Without Crossing The Tribunal Where The Judges Sat. And I Have This Pleasing Circumstance To Add Further, That A Young Nobleman, Having Had His Tunic Torn, An Ordinary Occurrence In A Crowd, Stood With His Gown Thrown Over Him, To Hear Me, And That During The Seven Hours I Was Speaking, Whilst My Success More Than Counterbalanced The Fatigue Of So Long A Speech. So Let Us Set To And Not Screen Our Own Indolence Under Pretence Of That Of The Public. Never, Be Very Sure Of That, Will There Be Wanting Hearers And Readers, So Long As We Can Only Supply Them With Speakers And Writers Worth Their Attention.
