    Cato "I treated my wife and daughters so shitty even other Roman aristocrats of the time were put off" the Elder.

    Cato "You should keep your slaves as close to starving as possible and sell off or abandon the sick, for financial reasons" the Elder.

    Cato "I tried to ban women from wearing jewelry because those FOIDS shouldn't be allowed to have things" the Elder.

    Cato "I hate Scipio Africanus for saving the Republic while being beloved by the poors" the Elder.

    Cato "I'm so proud that I slaughtered more Spaniards than I delivered to the Republic" the Elder.
