I say that there is no one of
 all those men who were at Rome on that day, which day
 you are now bringing as it were before the court,—that there was no one of the youth of Rome,
 who did not take arms and follow the consuls; all those men, whose conduct you can form a
 conjecture about from their age, are now impeached by you of a capital crime, by your attack
 upon Caius Rabirius. But it was Rabirius who slew Saturninus. I wish that he had done so. I

 this republic. If you wish this state to be immortal, if you wish your empire to be eternal, if
 you wish your glory to continue everlasting, then it is our own passions, it is the turbulence
 and desire of revolution engendered among our own citizens, it is intestine evil, it is domestic
 treason that must be guarded against.
