key point
when anyone does undertake public busi- ness, he should remember to reflect not only on how honourable that is, but also on whether he has the capacity to succeed. here he must take thought so that indolence does not make him despair prematurely, nor greed spur him to over-confidence. before you approach any busi- ness, thorough preparations must be made. (74) most men consider that military affairs are of greater significance than civic; i must deflate that opinion. for men have not infre- quently sought war out of desire for glory. this has most often been true of men of great spirit and talent, and all the more so if military ser- vice suits them and they love the business of warfare. however, if we are prepared to judge the matter correctly, many achievements of source: cicero de officiis. translated by andrew p. peabody. boston: little, brown, and company. 1887. civic life have proved greater and more famous than those of war.' (75) themistocles may rightly be praised, and his name possess greater renown than solon's, salamis may be summoned as a witness to a famous victory, which may indeed be ranked above the counsel that solon showed when he instituted the areopagus; in fact, how- ever, the latter should be judged no less splendid than the former. for the former benefit was a single one; the latter will serve the city for ever: by that counsel the very laws of the athenians and their ancestral institutions are preserved. themistocles could claim to have helped the areopagus in nothing; the areopagus, however, might truly claim to have assisted him: the very war was waged according to the counsel of the senate that solon had established.2 (76) the same may be said about pausanias and lysander. it may be thought that their achieve- ments won for sparta imperial rule. but they cannot begin to be compared with the laws and discipline instituted by lycurgus, which were, rather, the very causes of their having armies so well trained and courageous. i did not consider that marcus scaurus in my boyhood³ yielded anything to gaius marius; nor catulus to pompey when i myself was involved in public life. arms have little effect abroad if there is no counsel at home.
