QUOTES FROM Tacitus
They made a desert and called it peace
They make a desert and they call it peace
Corruptissima republica, plurimae leges (The more corrupt the state, the more laws)
The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
To plunder, to slaughter, to steal, these things they misname empire; and where they make a wilderness, they call it peace
When the state is most corrupt, then the laws are most multiplied.
The worst crimes were dared by a few, willed by more, and tolerated by all
