Cassius Dio

 

Cassius Dio (c. 163-235)

“Those who make statements which lack credibility not only fail to convince others, but create the impression that they themselves are imposters.”

  • From a speech attributed to Octavian in Cassius Dio’s The Roman History (Book 53, chapter 3), translated by Ian Scott-Kilvert (Penguin Classics, 1987).
