• “Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium, atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.”
• “Et maiores vestros et posteros cogitate.”
• “Proprium humani ingenii est odisse quem laeseris.”
• “Tu vero felix, Agricola, non vitae tantum claritate, sed etiam opportunitate mortis.”
• “The Germans themselves I should regard as aboriginal, and not mixed at all with other races through immigration or intercourse. For in former times, it was not by land but on shipboard that those who sought to emigrate would arrive; and the boundless and, so to speak, hostile ocean beyond us, is seldom entered by a sail from our world.”
