gubernandum

Updated: January 13, 2026

Cicero, Tusc. "Non est loquendum, sed gubernandum." Nature, to shew that there is nothing barbarous where she has the sole conduct, oftentimes, in nations where art has the least to do, causes productions of wit, such as may rival the greatest effect of art whatever.
