The World of Cicero
Suppose I manage to make even Caesar who is riding on the crest of the wave just now a better citizen, am I harming the state so very much? Why, even if I had no ill-wishers, even if I had everyone’s goodwill (as I ought to have), there would still be as much to be said for healing unsound bits of the body politic as for amputating them. But look at the facts: the Senate has been deserted by the knights… our leading men think they are touching heaven with their finger tips if the bearded mullets in their fishponds are feeding out of their hands, and they neglect everything else. Don’t I seem to you to be doing enough of a service if I contrive that those who have the power to do harm do not wish to do so?
Cicero, Letters to Atticus 2.1 (c. 3 June 60 BC)
