Marcus Tullius Cicero,  De haruspicum responsis 49  (56 B.C.):

Nam si Cn. Pompeio, viro uni omnium fortissimo, quicumque nati sunt, miserum magis fuit quam turpe, quam diu ille tribunus plebis fuit, lucem non aspicere, carere publico, minas eius perferre, cum in contionibus diceret velle se in Carinis aedificare alteram porticum quaeque Palatio responderet, certe mihi exire domo mea ad privatum dolorem fuit luctuosum, ad rationem rei publicae gloriosum.

For if Gnaeus Pompeius, the bravest of all men born, found it not so much ignominious as miserable not to look upon the daylight, while Clodius was tribune of the plebs, to resign his public activities, and to endure Clodius' threats, when he said in mass meetings that he intended to build a second portico in the Carinae to correspond with that on the Palatine, then surely, though it was a grievous personal blow for me to be banished from my house, yet at the same time, inasmuch as it was a course that accorded with the interest of the republic, it was glorious.
