Erasmi Adagia, Chiliadis secundae Centuria V, LXXXVII ('Ipse dixit'):

.... Quanquam M. Tullius libro De Natura Deorum primo, secus rem narrat: Non
enim, inquit, tam auctores in disputando, quam rationis momenta quaerenda
sunt. ***Quin etiam obest plerumque iis, qui discere volunt, auctoritas
eorum, qui se docere profitentur.*** Desinunt enim suum judicium adhibere,
id habent ratum, quod ab eo, quem probant, judicatum vident. ...

[De natura deorum, I, 10]


Incidentally, if you would be interested in a searchable Erasmus (as well as
other items) CD, you can write to Tamas Sajo <tamas@studiolum.com>, or visit
http://www.studiolum.com . I slightly contributed to the production of this
CD (supplied its Greek font).
