In a discussion of this kind our interest should be centered not on the weight of the authority but on the weight of the argument.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
It has seemed to be more necessary to have regard to the weight of words rather than to their number.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
