[109]
For in truth, what bounds can be set to
wickedness, and how can shamelessness, brutality and insolence go farther, if a
man who has committed grave-yes, grave and repeated wrongs against another,
instead of making amends and repenting of the evil, should afterwards add more
serious outrages and should employ his riches, not to further his own interests
without prejudice to others, but for the opposite purpose of driving his victim
into exile unjustly and covering him with ignominy, while he gloats over his own
superabundance of wealth?
