| otium nobis exoptandum est, quod ii, qui potiuntur rerum, praestaturi videntur, si quidam homines patientius eorum potentiam ferre potuerint | We can hope for peace, because those who have power over these things seem to be the ones to fulfill them, if certain people are able to tolerate their power more patiently. |
- βʹ Cicero, Philippica 2.11:
| ea familia [...] quae non modo dominatum, sed ne potentiam quidem cuiusquam ferre potuit | that family [...] that could tolerate neither the rule, nor even the power of any person |
