    [In response to Humanist 17.391.]

    Here is what a nice CD _In medias res. Lexikon lateinischer Zitate und
    Wendungen. Herausgegeben von Ernst Bury, 2. Ausgabe, Directmedia: Berlin,
    2000 [Digitale Bibliothek Band 27: Lexikon lateinischer Zitate, S. 7086 (c)
    Directmedia] --- has to say:

    Non sibi, sed toti genitum se credidit orbi.
                      cf. Lucanus, Bellum civile (Pharsalia) 2. 383

    Nr. 444
    Alis volat propriis.
                      Motto des US-Staats Oregon
    [Digitale Bibliothek Band 27: Lexikon lateinischer Zitate, S. 463 (c)
    Directmedia]

    (and Lucan ad loc:
              hi mores, haec duri inmota Catonis
    secta fuit, seruare modum finemque tenere
    naturamque sequi patriaeque inpendere uitam
    nec sibi sed toti genitum se credere mundo.)

    --- is what you have in mind really a Stoic idea?
