peer agreement (net): +1| without struggle there's no progress Sine luctatione nullus progressus est. Explanation: 'Luctatio' means literally 'wrestling' but is used metaphorically of any 'struggle' by Cicero, Livy, and other classical authors. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2014-09-11 18:34:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 'Progressio' means 'progress, advancement' in a more general sense. Save, however, for one instance (Quintilian, Institutio Oratoria, 9.1.33, who uses it in the sense of a 'rhetorical) climax'), it is found in no other author besides Cicero, although I should imagine that Cicero's authority should suffice. Cicero uses it in the same sense as does Quintilian at 'de oratore' 3.54.206 but more commonly he employs it in a non-technical sense, e.g.: de finibus, 5.21.58: "omnium rerum principia parva sunt, sed suis progressionibus una augentur", "The elements of everything are small but by means of their own progress they increase together". Tusculanae Disputationes, 4.1.1: "Tum progressio admirabilis incredibilisque cursus ad omnem excellentiam factus est dominatu regio re publica liberata", "Then a remarkable progress and incredible impetus towards every excellence occurred after the Republic was set free from royal domination". |
