Caesar, De Bello Gallico 6.17.1: Deum maxime Mercurium colunt. Huius sunt plurima simulacra: hunc omnium inventorem artium ferunt, hunc viarum atque itinerum ducem, hunc ad quaestus pecuniae mercaturasque habere vim maximam arbitrantur. Post hunc Apollinem et Martem et Iovem et Minervam.

Seneca the Younger, De Beneficiis 1.9.2: … adiuturus verbis fovit ; at peior opinio, si lingua asper, vultu gravis cum invidia fortunam suam explicuit. Colunt enim detestanturque felicem et, si potuerint, eadem facturi odere facientem.
