THE SIXTH ORATION OF M. T. CICERO AGAINST MARCUS ANTONIUS. CALLED ALSO THE SIXTH PHILIPPIC. ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE.
[17]
Therefore, I can
differ from you without using any insulting language, though not without feeling
the greatest grief of mind. For is the dissension between you and me a trifling
one, or on a trifling subject? Is it merely a case of my favoring this man, and
you that man? Yes; I indeed favor Decimus Brutus, you favor Marcus Antonius; I
wish a colony of the Roman people to be preserved, you are anxious that it
should be stormed and destroyed.
