Curt. ix. 10. 11. Famem sentire coeperunt, radices palmarum ubique
_rimantes_: comp. with ix. 9. 5. _Scrutati_ omnia tuguria tandem
latentes reperere. Or, Tac. Ann. vi. 3. _Rimans_ secreta omnium; that
is, what were intentionally kept secret; with xii. 52. Quasi finem
principis per Chaldæos _scrutaretur_; which was done without opposition.
(v. 121.)

QUESTUS; QUIRITATIO; QUERIMONIA; QUERELA. +Questus+ and +Quiritatio+ are
expressions of pain; +questus+, in single, +quiritatio+ in continued
tones of lamentation; whereas +querimonia+ and +querela+ are expressions
of indignation; +querimonia+ in the just feeling of the injured person,
who will not brook an act of injustice; +querela+ in, for the most part,
the blamable feeling of the discontented person, who will brook no
hardship. The _Querimonia_ is an act of the understanding, and aims at
redress or satisfaction; the _querela_ is an act of feeling, and aims,
for the most part, only at easing the heart. Cic. Cæcil. 3. In populi
Romani quotidiana _querimonia_: comp. with Fam. v. 14. Tu non intelliges
te _querelis_ quotidianis nihil proficere. (v. 310.)
QUIES; TRANQUILLITAS; REQUIES. 1. +Quies+ (from #keisthai#?) denotes
absolute rest, in opp. to activity in general, like #hêsuchia#;
+tranquillitas+, quietness in acting, in opp. to hasty or passionate
activity, like #hekêlia#. Sen. Ep. 3. Et _quiescenti_ agendum et agenti
_quiescendum_ est; comp. with Cic. Top. 3. Ut aut perturbentur animi aut
_tranquillentur_. Hence is +quietus+ allied in sense with _otiosus_,
_segnis_, _languidus_; whereas +tranquillus+ with _lenis_, _placidus_,
_moderatus_. 2. +Quies+ is rest in itself; +requies+, rest after
activity and exertion. Curt. ix. 6. § 2. Ne _quies_ corpori invalido
adhuc necessaria pulsu remorum impediretur: comp. with § 3. Placuit hic
locus ad suam et militum _requiem_. (i. 80.)
QUIRE, see _Posse_.
QUIRITATIO, see _Questus_.
QUISQUE; QUIVIS; QUILIBET; UNUSQUISQUE; OMNES; UNIVERSI; CUNCTI; TOTUS.
1. +Quisque+, +quivis+, and +quilibet+, denote a totality, which is cut
up into several individualities; whereas +omnes+, +universi+, and
+cuncti+, denote a combined totality. 2. +Quisque+ means each
individual; +quivis+, any individual you choose, without exception, and
with emphasis; +quilibet+, any individual whatever, without selection,
and with indifference, like #hostisoun#, synonymously with _primus
quisque_, #ho tuchôn#. Propert. ii. 6, 26. Templa pudicitiæ quid opus
statuisse puellis, si _cuivis_ nuptæ _cuilibet_ esse licet? apud
Lachmann. Cic. Fam. viii. 10. _Quidvis quamlibet_ tenue munusculum.
3. +Quisque+ is an enclitic, that is, throws back the accent on the
preceding word, and in prose never stands at the beginning of a
sentence, like #hekastos#; whereas +unusquisque+ is accented and
emphatic, like #heis hekastos#. 4. +Unusquisque+ denotes each
individual, in opp. to some individuals; whereas +singuli+, individuals,
in opp. to the undivided totality, like #hekastoi#. 5. +Omnes+
(#hapantes#) denotes all without exception, merely as a totality, in
opp. to _nemo_, _unus_, _aliquot_. Cic. Sext. 12, 27. Off. iii. 6, like
#pantes#; whereas +universi+, all taken collectively, in opp. to
_singuli_ and _unusquisque_. Cic. N. D. ii. 17. 65, 66. Off. iii. 6,
like #sumpantes#; lastly, +cuncti+ (#xunektoi#) all in their combined
reality, in opp. to _dispersi_, like #hapantes#. Liv. vii. 35.
Admonitione paventibus _cunctis_ quum omnium in se vertisset oculos
Decius. Nep. Dat. 5. Qui illum unum pluris quam se _omnes_ fieri
videbant. Quo facto _cuncti_ ad eum opprimendum consenserunt.
6. +Totus+, +solidus+, and +integer+ denote that which is originally a
whole, but which is liable to fall to pieces by accident, like #holos#;
whereas +omnis+, +universus+, and +cunctus+, denote original
individualities, which form a whole by their association, like #pas#,
#sumpas#, #hapas#. (iv. 352.)
QUOTIDIE; IN SINGULOS DIES. +Quotidie+ applies to things that are daily
repeated; whereas +in singulos dies+, to things that, from day to day,
are making an advance. Cic. Att. v. 7. _Quotidie_ vel potius _in
singulos dies_ breviores literas ad te mitto. Fam. vi. 4. Catil. i. 2.
