• αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 14.13:

quemcumque enim haec pars perditorum laetatum Caesaris morte putabit (laetitiam autem apertissime tulimus omnes), hunc in hostium numero habebit; quae res ad caedem maximam spectat.

For whoever this corrupt party thinks was glad Caesar died (and we all wore our happiness quite openly) will be counted an enemy; this suggests much carnage.

• βʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 10.1:

De pace idem sentio quod tu, simulationem esse apertam, parari autem acerrime bellum.

I feel the same as you about the peace—that it's an open sham, and that war is quite actively being prepared.
