Quaero enim num possit aut contra imperatorem
aut pro imperatore dici sine rei militaris usu aut saepe
etiam sine regionum terrestrium aut maritimarum scientia;
num apud populum de legibus iubendis aut vetandis, num
in senatu de omni rei publicae genere dici sine summa
rerum civilium cognitione et prudentia; num admoveri
possit oratio ad sensus animorum atque motus vel inflammandos
vel etiam exstinguendos, quod unum in oratore
dominatur, sine diligentissima pervestigatione earum omnium
rationum, quae de naturis humani generis ac moribus
a philosophis explicantur.
M. Tulli Ciceronis Rhetorica. M. Tullius Cicero. A. S. Wilkins. 1902.
