Ad Familiares IX, 4, to Varro.Cicero
Aut Caesar, aut nihil. (et nihil fuit)
Cesare Borgia
A dictum [Beckett] quotes from his favourite philosopher, the second-generation Cartesian Arnold Geulincx (1624-1669) suggests his overall stance toward the political: ubi nihil vales, ibi nihil velis, which may be glossed: Don’t invest hope or longing in an arena where you have no power.
J. M. Coetzee
Quippe res dei ratio quia deus omnium conditor nihil non ratione providit disposuit ordinavit, nihil [enim] non ratione tractari intellegique voluit. Igitur ignorantes quique deum rem quoque eius ignorent necesse est quia nullius omnino thesaurus extraneis patet. Itaque universam vitae conversationem sine gubernaculo rationis transfretantes inminentem saeculo procellam evitare non norunt.
Tertullian
Quid enim refert, quantum habeas? multo illud plus est, quod non habes.
Seneca the Elder
Stercorem pro cerebro habes.
Claim it means: That's certainly food for thought.
