It is therefore, with great propriety of language, that Grotius makes Ostend thus address herself to the world, in the following lines: "Area parva ducum, totus quam respicit orbis; Celsior una malis, et quam damnare ruinae Nunc quoque fata timent, alieno in litore resto.
And those who take this sentence in a contrary sense interpret it amiss: "Ista sic reciprocantur, ut et si divinatio sit, dii sint; et si dii lint, sit divinatio." Much more wisely Pacuvius "Nam istis, qui linguam avium intelligunt, Plusque ex alieno jecore sapiunt, quam ex suo, Magis audiendum, quam auscultandum, censeo."
Dryden, when he had not a bad case to argue, would have had small respect for the wit whose skill lay in the making of faults, and has himself, where his self-love was not engaged, admirably defined the boundary which divides boldness from rashness. What Quintilian says of Seneca applies very aptly to Dryden: "Velles eum suo ingenio dixisse, alieno judicio."
"Is this necessary to the making of gold?" asked Gregory. "Surely," Padraig assured him. "The pupil cannot do the work of the master, the master must not be compelled to labor as the pupil.

"I have taken some pains to make it my masterpiece in English." Preface to Second Miscellany. Fox said that it "was better than the original." J.C. Scaliger said of Erasmus: "Ex alieno ingenio poeta, ex suo versificator." In one of the last letters he ever wrote, thanking his cousin Mrs.
So Antores received in his flank the lance hurled at Lausus: infelix alieno volnere." "I dare say, Mr. Diggle," interrupted Desmond, "but I have no time to construe Latin." Covering Diggle with his pistol, Desmond stooped over Fuzl Khan's prostrate body and discovered in a moment that the poor fellow's heart had ceased to beat.
An ancient father says "that a dog we know is better company than a man whose language we do not understand." "Ut externus alieno pene non sit hominis vice." Pliny, Nat. Hist. vii. And how much less sociable is false speaking than silence?
Under these circumstances socialism, which had tried to generalize the law enacted by Moses for the Israelites alone, Non foeneraberis proximo tuo, sed alieno, was beaten by an idea which it had accepted from the economic routine, namely, farm-rent, elevated into the theory of the productivity of capital.
