The rope is good long and speech. Presentation on the topic: "Words - opposite in meaning

A well-groomed appearance, competent speech and education - that's what will always be in fashion.

Life is so good that it does not always meet expectations!

Those who blame others have a long way to go. The one who blames himself is already halfway there. The one who does not blame anyone has reached the end.

And I'm on the right track...
I'm standing...
And you should go.

Nowadays, people can come up with a whole speech to justify themselves. But they cannot say a simple phrase: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

The shortest prayer in the world is "Thank you"!
And most of the time, that's enough.

Nothing stimulates love like a short separation. What makes marriage bonds unbearable? Too close relationships, base worries and routine.

Marrying is interesting only for love; to marry a girl just because she is pretty is the same as buying an unnecessary thing in the market just because she is good.

By femininity, all women in the world can be divided into four conditional categories:
a) a female person (a distinctive feature is female physiological characteristics),
b) a woman (a well-programmed housewife with appropriate needs),
c) a woman (increased sense of femininity and self-esteem, certain spiritual needs),
d) lady (a woman is a person whose behavior, speech and thinking border on harmony).

People see what they want. Whichever faucet I turn, this water will flow. For thieves, the world is a story of theft. For a sick person, the world is a long history of illness. The kind one strings, like donuts, a story of good deeds, and he has them, like the same donuts, always hot, fresh, momentary. Man is a charged particle… He attracts a certain charge, a certain life. It's just plain physics.

Frost in the spring is special. The ear that is in the shade freezes, and that in the sun burns. From green aspens - drops, but the droplets do not reach the ground, they freeze on the fly into ice. Water glitters on the sunny side of the trunks, the shady side is covered with a crust of ice. Snow melts and burns during the day, frost snaps at night. (According to N. Sladkov.) In the shade - ..., droplets - ..., sunny - ..., water - ..., during the day - ... / in the sun, ice, shady, ice, at night.

When the moment came for a response speech, the majority was clearly against the young and successful Publius Cornelius Scipio the Younger.

…By the way, Publius Cornelius Scipio the Younger, perhaps the only one of all Roman politicians, realized that in fact the enemy of Rome was Carthage, i.e. city, not Hannibal, i.e. Human. He was also clearly aware of where the policy of the old leaders was leading the Roman state. Satisfied with victories in Spain and at Metaurus, they allowed Hannibal to hold his position in southern Italy. Subconsciously, they believed that it was impossible to force him to leave. They only thought about how to protect themselves from him. And Carthage remained untouched. Another year, two, or at least five, and they will inevitably begin peace negotiations with a man who has been threatening the sovereignty of Rome for more than 12 years ...

Scipio began his answering speech quite unexpectedly:

... He did not make excuses and dive with the oldest member of the Senate, but in a military way quickly and purposefully ... "went over to the counterattack" (if you put soldiers on the battlefield, then only for the sake of victory!), As it turned out, irresistible!

He began by reminding everyone of his assignment to Spain when he was much younger and no one wanted to go there to fight!

There are no more Pun armies in Africa now than there were in Spain, and generals are no better!

He turned to the example of Hannibal with his invasion of Italy, when he imposed a war on Rome on its territory, which still cannot expel him from the Apennine peninsula!

Everyone knows that the one who imposes danger on another has more fighting spirit than the one who repels it. Moreover, the horror caused by something unexpected increases precisely in such circumstances! When you enter enemy territory, you clearly see the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy up close!

Having landed in Africa, he is guaranteed to force Hannibal, the instigator of the exhausting war in Italy, to follow him!

As for the danger of the One-Eyed Punic’s campaign against Rome, the second consul Crassus, of course, will be able to delay his weakened and small army, since even in the wake of success, Hannibal was not able to besiege Rome ...

The last truly win-win argument was the appeal to national self-consciousness.

... “Do you know, dear senators, that while in the south of Italy, Hannibal ordered to cast a bronze plate on which descriptions of his brilliant victories won in Italy will be engraved: from Lomello to Cannes! Publius Cornelius addressed the senate. “And I wouldn’t be surprised if the last inscription sounds so laconic, so terrible for everyone here: Victory over the Roman people!" …

…By the way, the failure of Publius Cornelius Scipio the Younger to receive a well-deserved triumph for the conquest of Iberia, the strict demand of the Senate to give an account of every "people's penny" spent, every desire of the senators to limit the political influence of the popular commander and other intrigues of the authoritative Quintus Fabius - all this is nothing more than another " a link in the chain" of the many years of struggle for power between the aristocratic clans of Fabius and Korneliev! Such are the grimaces of history...

So, famously "taking the bull by the horns," Scipio began to vigorously defend his plan to invade Africa! He insisted that right now, after a long and costly war with Rome, Carthage was seriously weakened: its Numidian allies were unreliable and were ready to defect to someone else's camp at any moment; the mercenaries that make up his army are prone to rebellion.

Very accurate, understandable to a simple layman, the statements of Scipio were already walking around Rome, inclining more and more new fans to his side. "I didn't come to fight a war - I'm here to end it!" or has already become sacramental: “Until now, Carthage waged war against Rome; now Rome will lead her against Carthage!”

Scipio was contemptuously silent under the hostile gazes of the hushed gray-haired "fathers of Rome." They did not understand him and were heartily indignant at the proud contempt with which he spoke to Fabius. Finally, a barely audible "rustle" went through the meeting, which grew into an already noticeable murmur.

And then the floor was taken by Fulvius Flaccus, famous for his cruelty in the capture of Capua. He sharply and loudly asked if it was true that in the event of the refusal of the Senate, the newly minted consul Publius Cornelius Scipio the Younger was going to appeal to the people?!

Scipio quietly but distinctly replied that he would do everything that he found necessary, in the interests of ... the Roman Republic!

Flakk already soared from what he heard and, with a piercing screech, yelled at the entire senate that he did not doubt for a minute just such an answer, calling on the respected senate to brand the presumptuous "youngster" as a violator of all fatherly laws!

The fathers of Rome were confused: the audacity of the youth knew no bounds - it became clear that in this matter he would fight to the death!

Long meetings, consultations, negotiations began ... in general, everything that happens when the parties do not want and cannot reach a consensus.

In the end, shrewdly not wanting to bring the matter to a popular vote (Scipio, who went for broke, in fact, threatened precisely this measure of influence on the senators!), which means undermining his own status and turning such a successful “youngster” first into the leader of the democrats, and then, what the hell is not joking, and in ... the sole ruler, the senate adopted the "Solomonic decision."

It said that Scipio would receive as a province not Africa, but ... Sicily! From there, he can invade Africa, if required by ... the interests of the state.

Such a "knight's move" by wise senators meant that Publius Cornelius Scipio the Younger was allowed to transfer the war with Hannibal from Italy to Carthage, but ... under his personal responsibility. In addition, he had to organize his campaign in Africa, not only at his own peril and risk, but also with ... his own money (!), Since the Senate denied Scipio the right to withdraw legions from Italy, but he had the right to recruit soldiers outside of it . We had to limit ourselves not only to financing the expedition from our own funds and through loans from private individuals, but also by volunteers.

Paradoxically, it was under such conditions that the best commander of Rome was offered to bring Rome the final victory over the long-term Enemy No. 1, as the Roman historians very soon dubbed the Carthaginian Hannibal!

So the Senate did everything to make it as difficult as possible for Scipio to land in Africa and turn out to be the only person on whom not only the whole further course, but also the end of the "Hannibal War" would depend. The prudent Publius Cornelius Scipio the Younger did not quarrel with the obviously “rattling and rattling” fathers of Rome and ... rolling up his sleeves, he set to work.

One way or something like this, ancient sources cover the events that preceded the transition of the "Hannibal War" to its final phase - unless, of course, they are trusted ?!

…By the way, if Rome never had problems with infantry and its military power always relied on persistent and maneuverable infantry legions, then with a set of combat-ready cavalry it was always not easy. Knowing full well that in the coming battle with Hannibal the one who had superiority in cavalry, not only quantitatively but also qualitatively, would win, Scipio dealt with this dilemma long before the African campaign, wisely not waiting until it turned into an urgent problem. It is curious, but it was he who managed for a brief moment in the history of the military affairs of Rome to achieve some balance between the two main branches of the army at that time: infantry and cavalry, between the stable strength of the first and the decisive speed of the second ...

But the famous Savior of the Fatherland, Quintus Fabius Maximus, still could not calm down. He continued his policy of "ratting and talking"!

The old man persuaded young people who wanted to go on a campaign in every possible way, shouted in the Senate and in the National Assembly that Scipio was not just running away from Hannibal, but was withdrawing from Italy all the remaining power of Rome, for selfish purposes, tempting young people with empty hopes and encouraging them to leave to the mercy of fate parents, wives, and, what is most disgusting... Fatherland, at the gates of which there is an insurmountable enemy!
