Here are the ones from Tacitus:

{Author_112} G. Cornelius Tacitus
{Quote_112} Great empires are not maintained by timidity.
Quote attributed to: Tiridates I of Armenia, exhorting Vologases I of Parthia to send Parthian forces to Armenia

The latin is: Non enim ignavia magna imperia contineri

Quote is from: Annales, 15:1

(this quote is repeated below, at quote/author no. 7)


{Author_131} Tacitus, Annals of Imperial Rome
{Quote_131} Barbarians: Greek Historians ignore them, reserving their admiration for Greece only. We Romans too, have underestimated them, since in our devotion to antiquity we neglect modern history
This quote is incorrect. It is actually about Arminius and not about barbarians in general. It should be: He completed thirty-seven years of life, twelve years of power, and he is still a theme of song among barbarous nations, though to Greek historians, who admire only their own achievements, he is unknown, and to Romans not as famous as he should be, while we extol the past and are indifferent to our own times.

The latin for that quote is: Septem et triginta annos vitae, duodecim potentiae explevit, caniturque adhuc barbaras apud gentis, Graecorum annalibus ignotus, qui sua tantum mirantur, Romanis haud perinde celebris, dun vetera extollimus recentium incuriosi.

It comes from Annales, 2:88


{Author_137} G. Cornelius Tacitus
{Quote_137} The proper arts of a general are judgement and prudence.
The latin is: Ratione et consilio, propriis ducis artibus

The quote is from: Historiae, 3:20


{Author_7} G. Cornelius Tacitus
{Quote_7} Great empires are not maintained by timidity.
This is a repeat. See above.


{Author_71} G. Cornelius Tacitus
{Quote_71} Even the bravest are frightened by sudden terrors.
The latin is: Etaim fortes viros subitis terreri

The quote comes from: Annales, 15:59


{Author_73} G. Cornelius Tacitus
{Quote_73} A bad peace is even worse than war.
Attributed to: All the good men of Rome, worried about the Gallic revolt, circa 21 AD.

The latin is: Miseram pacem vel bello bene mutari.

The quote comes from: Annales, 3:44


{Author_74} G. Cornelius Tacitus
{Quote_74} The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise.
The latin is: Nisi impunitatis cupido … magnis semper conatibus adversa

The quote comes from: Annales, 15:50



{Author_99} G. Cornelius Tacitus
