Cato Quotes

Cato kneels beside Clove, spear in hand, begging her to stay with him. In a moment, he will realize it's futile, she can't be saved. Suzanne Collins
Clove!" Cato's voice is much nearer now. I can tell by the pain in it that he sees her on the ground. "You better run now, Fire Girl," says Thresh. I don't need to be told twice. I flip over and my feet dig into the hard-packed earth as I run away from Thresh and Clove and the sound of Cato's voice. Only when I reach the woods do I turn back for an instant. Thresh and both large backpacks are vanishing over the edge of the plain into the area I've never seen. Cato kneels beside Clove,... Suzanne Collins
I'm not their slave," the man mutters."I am," I say. "That's why I killed Cato... and he killed Thresh... and he killed Clove... and she tried to kill me. It just goes around and around, and who wins? Not us. Not the districts. Always the capitol. But I'm tired of being a piece in their games. Suzanne Collins
Suzanne Collins quote: "Let the Seventy-forth Hunger Games begin, Cato, I think. Let..."
Let the Seventy-forth Hunger Games begin, Cato, I think. Let them begin for real. Suzanne Collins
You never speak about yourself without loss. Your self-condemnation is always accredited, your self-praise discredited. There may be some people of my temperament, I who learn better by contrast than by example, and by flight than by pursuit. This was the sort of teaching that Cato the Elder had in view when he said that the wise have more to learn from the fools than the fools from the wise; and also that ancient lyre player who, Pausanias tells us, was accustomed to force his pupils to go... Michel de Montaigne
Marcus Tullius Cicero quote: "For he (Cato) gives his opinion as if he were in Plato's..."
For he (Cato) gives his opinion as if he were in Plato's Republic, not in Romulus' cesspool. Marcus Tullius Cicero
I pull the sleeping bag up to his chin and kiss his forehead, not for the audience, but for me. Because I'm so grateful that he's here, not dead by the stream as I'd thought. So glad I don't have to face Cato alone. Suzanne Collins
Writing again, he stressed that the events of war are always uncertain. Then, paraphrasing a favorite line from the popular play Cato by Joseph Addison - a line that General Washington, too, would often call upon - Adams told her, "We cannot insure success, but we can deserve it. David McCullough
We are never done with conscience. Choose your course by it, Brutus; Choose your course by it, Cato. It is bottomless, being God. We cast in to this pit the labor of our whole lives, we cast in our liberty or our country, we cast in our well-being, we cast in our repose, we cast in our happiness. More! more! more! Empty the vase! turn out the urn! We must at last cast in our heart. Victor Hugo
Suzanne Collins quote: "Do it. Before they send those mutts back or something. I don't..."
Do it. Before they send those mutts back or something. I don't want to die like Cato," he says. Suzanne Collins
Alexander Pope quote: "Like Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to..."
Like Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to his own applause. Alexander Pope
Conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute have criticized Bush for his big increases in spending, which far exceed those of the Clinton era. Jim Cooper
