85 " When they speak before you, or in the senate, they occupy the greatest part of their orations in extolling their ancestors;They occupy the greatest part of their orations in extolling their ancestors] Plerâque oratione majores suos extollunt. "They extol their ancestors in the greatest part of their speech." for, they suppose that, by recounting the heroic deeds of their forefathers, they render themselves more illustrious. But the reverse of this is the case; for the more glorious were the lives of their ancestors, the more scandalous is their own inaction. The truth, indeed, is plainly this, that the glory of ancestors sheds a light on their posterity,The glory of ancestors sheds a light on their posterity] Juvenal, viii. 138: Incipit ipsorum contra te stare parentum Nobilitas, claramque facem præferre pudendis. Thy fathers' virtues, clear and bright, display Thy shameful deeds, as with the light of day. which suffers neither their virtues nor their vices to be concealed. Of this light, my fellow-citizens, I have no share; but I have, what confers much more distinction, the power of relating my own actions. Consider, then, how unreasonable they are; what they claim to themselves for the merit of others, they will not grant to me for my own; alleging, forsooth, that I have no statues, and that my distinction is newly-acquired; but it is surely better to have acquired such distinction myself than to bring disgrace on that received from others.
