starters from the 44 bce speech by cicero, ATTACK ON AN ENEMY OF FREEDOM
“they have paid me graver penalties than i could have wished.”
“what happened to them ought to frighten you.”
“but you, i have never injured, even in words.”
“i think you know why you brought this matter up.”
“i do not see how you could have killed me.”
“it seemed to me less undesirable to admit my obligation to you than to let ignorant people think me ungrateful.”
“you admitted this yourself.”
“just see how unbelievably stupid he is as well.”
“what a disgusting, intolerable, sensualist the man is, as well as a vicious, unsavoury crook!”
“your impudence must be equal to your debauchery if you dare make that assertion in this very place.”
“heaven knows this did not suit you.”
“do you not understand this?”
“what a fool you are, ( name ).”
“concentrate please - just for a little.”
“try to make your brain work for a moment as if you were sober.”
“you look rather worried.”
“if what i am now going to say is known to you already, then your fate is sad indeed : and sadder still if it is not.”
“that would be out of the question.”
“i pity the very walls and roof of that house.”
“i feel no surprise when you disturb the peace.”
“what were you begging for?”
“what would you then have said?”
“fear made you a good citizen.”
“we are colleagues ; no one will refuse.”
“peace and slavery are very different things.”
“if the hope of being praised cannot entice you to behave decently, is fear equally incapable of scaring you out of your repulsive behaviour?”
“to be afraid of danger from one’s own people night and day is no sort of a life.”
“you and he are not in any way comparable.”
“i shall not be intimidated by you.”
“i would gladly offer my own body, if my death could redeem the freedom of our nation.”
