In this, these sectarians disregarded the remark of St. Augustine: "Nefas est dicere Deum aliquid nisi bonum predestinare.
And I can say it with St. Columban, Totum, dicere volui in breve, totem non potui.
Judicis est jus dicere non dare=--It is the judge's duty to enunciate the law, not to make it.
Dicere etiam solebat, nullum esse librum tam malum, ut non aliqua parte prodesset=--He read no book which he did not make extracts from.
Jucunda et idonea dicere vitæ=--To describe what is pleasant and suited for life.
The first of these maxims, commencing with the word at the foot of the left-hand column, is: Noli dicere omnia quae scis quia qui dicit omnia quae scit saepe audit quod non vult.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "dicere" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
