“Unjust Discourse: To invoke solely the weaker arguments and yet triumph is a talent worth more than a hundred thousand drachmae.”

“Peace is the best thing that man may know; peace alone is better than a thousand triumphs”
Pax optima rerum
quas homini novisse datum est, pax una triumphis
innumeris potior, pax custodire salutem
et civis aequare potens revocetur in arcis
tandem Sidonias, et fama fugetur ab urbe
perfidiae, Phoenissa, tua.
Book XI, lines 592–597<!--; spoken by Hanno.-->
