Sallust, Bellum Catilinae, X, 5. This particular translation of the original Latin is from the essay &quot;On Liberty&quot; by Abraham Cowley: &quot;Sallust, therefore, who was well acquainted with them both and with many such-like gentlemen of his time, says, &#x27;That it is the nature of ambition&#x27; (Ambitio multos mortales falsos fieri coegit, etc.) &#x27;to make men liars and cheaters; to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths; to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.&#x27;&quot; http://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext02/cowes10.txt The Wikiquote page for Sallust has the quote and a different translation. <br class="br">Misattributed
