Cicero de legibus I 15, 43. Atque si natura confirmatura ius non erit, virtutes omnes tollentur. Ubi enim liberalitas, ubi patriae caritas, ubi pietas, ubi aut bene merendi de altero aut referendae gratiae voluntas poterit existere? Nam haec nascuntur ex eo, quia natura propensi sumus ad diligendos homines, quod fundamentum iuris est. Neque solum in homines obsequia, sed etiam in deos caerimoniae religionesque tollentur: quas non metu, sed ea coniunctione, quae est homini cum deo, conservandas puto.
