Marcus Tullius Cicero

“ For if sight resulted from the impact of images, [5] the images would be in great difficulties with a narrow entrance: but, as it is, that "effusion" of rays gets on quite nicely. If you have any other fault to find you won't get off without an answer, unless it is something that can be put right without expense. ”

“ The best of omens is our country's cause. [10]
But let us reserve all this for our walks during the Compitalia. [11] Remember the day before the Compitalia. I will order the bath to be heated, and Terentia is going to invite Pomponia. We will add your mother to the party. Please bring me Theophrastus de Ambitione from my brother's library.
