Quam ob rem, ut religio
propaganda etiam est, quae est iuncta cum cognitione
naturae, sic superstitionis stirpes omnes eligendae. Instat enim et urget et, quo te cumque verteris, persequitur, sive tu vatem sive tu omen audieris, sive immolaris
sive avem aspexeris, si Chaldaeum, si haruspicem videris,
si fulserit, si tonuerit, si tactum aliquid erit de caelo,
si ostenti simile natum factumve quippiam; quorum
necesse est plerumque aliquid eveniat, ut numquam
liceat quieta mente consistere.
De Divinatione. M. Tullius Cicero. C. F. W. Müller. Leipzig. Teubner. 1915.
