f comparison; as,-- justitia numquam nocet cuiquam, _justice never harms anybody_; si quisquam, Cato sapiens fuit, _if anybody was ever wise, Cato was_; potestne quisquam sine perturbatione animi irasci, _can anybody be angry without excitement?_ si ullo modo poterit, _if it can be done in any way_; taetrior hic tyrannus fuit quam quisquam superiorum, _he was a viler tyrant than any of his predecessors_. 5. Quisque, _each one_, is used especially under the following circumstances:-- a) In connection with suus. See Sec. 244, 4, a. b) In connection with a Relative or Interrogative Pronoun; as,-- quod cuique obtigit, id teneat, _what falls to each, that let him hold_. c) In connection with superlatives; as,-- optimus quisque, _all the best_ (lit. _each best one_). d) With ordinal numerals; as,-- quinto quoque anno, _every four years_ (lit. _each fifth year_). 6. Nemo, _no one_, in addition to its other uses, stands regularly with adjectives used substantively; as,-- nemo mortalis, _no mortal_; nemo Romanus, _no Roman_. PRONOMINAL ADJECTIVES. 253. 1. Alius, _another_, and alter, _the other_, are often used correlatively; as,-- aliud loquitur, aliud sentit, _he says one thing, he thinks another_; alii resistunt, alii fugiunt, _some resist, others flee_; alter exercitum perdidit, alter vendidit, _one ruined the army, the other sold it_; alteri se in montem receperunt, alteri ad impedimenta se contulerunt, _the one party retreated to the mountain, the others betook themselves to the baggage_. 2. Where the English says _one does one thing, another another_, the Latin uses a more condensed form of statement; as,-- alius aliud amat, _one likes one thing, another another_; aliud aliis placet, _one thing pleases some, another others_. a. So sometimes with adverbs; as,-- alii alio fugiunt, _some flee in one direction, others in another_. 3. The Latin also expresses the notion '_each other_' by means of alius repeated; as,-- Galli alius alium cohortati sunt, _the Gauls encouraged each other_. 4. Ceteri means _the rest_, _all the others_; as,-- ceteris praestare, _to be superior to all the others_. 5. Reliqui means _the others_ in the sense of _the rest_, _those remaining_,--hence is the regular word with numerals; as,-- reliqui sex, _the six others_
