Again, since what is
impossible can neither have been done nor will be done, but only what is
possible, and since what has not taken place nor will take place can neither
have been done nor will be done, it is necessary for each of the three kinds of
orators to have in readiness propositions dealing with the possible and the
impossible, and as to whether anything has taken place or will take place, or
not.
