CICERO REPORTS HIS VICTORY OVER CATILINE (22)
The state, oh citizens, all your life, good, fortune, the house of the senate and this beautiful city, through my labor, counsel, and my danger I have snatched from the fire and sword. Now, oh, citizens, because bad leaders soon captured hold bad war, you ought to think of your good hope. Catiline has been expelled out of the middle of the city. This man was feared by all, for as long as he was contained in the walls of the city. Now that man so bitter, so daring, so watchful in crime, so diligent in evil affairs, has been removed. Although all these men, oh citizens, have been taken care of by me, nevertheless they have seem to have been enacted and foreseen by the power and plan of the immortal gods. For many times the immortal gods nourished the hope and faith of this republic. At this time especially you ought to give the most splendid thanks to them. In fact you have been snatched away from most brutal and miserable death, and you have been snatched away without murder, without blood and without an army. Our deeds, citizens, will be nourished by your memory; your praise, reputation, and glory will make them strong; they live on in and will be maintained by your letters. We will be able to be in perpetual peace, citizens.
