be sure that your own life shows no trace of such vices.

Whatever you would punish in another, that you must avoid yourself.

A public accuser would be intolerable, or even a caviller, who should inveigh against sins for which he himself is called in question.

But in this man I find all wickednesses combined.

There is no lust, no iniquity, no shamelessness of which his life does not supply with ample evidence." The nature of the difficulty to which Cicero is thus subjected is visible enough.
