And we are told that when Cato prosecuted Murena, Cicero, who was then consul, defended him, and because of Catos beliefs made much fun of the Stoic sect, in view of the absurdities of their so-called paradoxes;[*] and when loud laughter spread from the audience to the jurors, Cato, with a quiet smile, said to those who sat by: What a funny man we have, my friends, for consul!
