Infensus turbae faventi adversus studium suum exclamavit: "Utinam p. R. unam cervicem haberet!"
Suetonius

Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant!
May faulty logic undermine your entire philosophy!Henry Beard
In commune iubes si quid censesque tenendum,
primus iussa subi: tunc observantior aequi
fit populus nec ferre negat, cum viderit ipsum
auctorem parere sibi. componitur orbis
regis ad exemplum, nec sic inflectere sensus
humanos edicta valent quam vita regentis.Claudian
