Non tam portas intrare patentes Quam fregisse juvat; nec tam patiente colono Arva premi, quam si ferro populetur et igni; Concessâ pudet ire viâ. The conqueror is not so much pleased by entering into open gates, as by forcing his way. He desires not the fields to be cultivated by the patient husbandman; he would have them laid waste by fire and sword. It would be his shame to go by a way already opened. e. LUCAN. Omnibus hostes Reddite nos popnlis--civile avertite vellum. Make us enemies of every people on earth, but prevent a civil war. WEALTH. Et genus et formam regina pecunia donat.
