It is difficult to speak of the universal specifically. - Horace

"Ut haec ipsa qui non sentiat deorum vim habere is nihil omnino sensurus esse videatur."

If any man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.

"Omitte mirari beatæ Fumum et opes strepitumque Romæ. ("Cease to admire the smoke, wealth, and noise of prosperous Rome.")"

Perhaps you know how to draw a cypress tree: so what, if you've been given money to paint a sailor plunging from a shipwreck
in despair?
