The man who does not believe that Love is the greatest of gods, I should think he's either a fool or else untried in worldly affairs. It is in his power to make mad whom he will, to make him wise or crazed, or cast him straight into disease. — Ex incertis fabulis, 15; as quoted by Cicero, Tusculanae Disputationes, IV, 32, 68
