Description
St. Thomas Aquinas on John 3: "many Gentiles have acted with virtue; for example, Cato"
Brittanica: "Of at least 150 speeches he published, only meagre fragments of about 80 survive."
Cato authored the De agri cultura and coined "Cathago delanda est! " = "Cathage must be destroyed!", which he said after his senate speeches.
cf. "Comment les saints ont civilisé l’Europe" Louis DE ROUVRAY, Le Sel de la terre n° 134.
