You are, to be sure, wonderfully free from that nationality: but so it happens, that you employ the only Scotch shoe-black in London. He imitated the manner of his old master with ludicrous exaggeration; repeating, with pauses and half-whistlings interjected, 'Os homini sublime dedit, caelumque tueri Jussit, et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus';

Christianity freed European humanity from this shallow, crude identification of itself with the hollow, uncertain existence of every day, coelumque tueri Jussit, et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus. Christianity, accordingly, does not preach mere Justice, but the Love of Mankind, Compassion, Good Works, Forgiveness, Love of your Enemies, Patience, Humility, Resignation, Faith and Hope.

Everything about them cries out; in terram prona! It is not to them, it is only to the nobler and more highly endowed natures men who really think and look about them in the world, and form exceptional specimens of humanity that the next lines are applicable; Os homini sublime dedit coelumque tueri Jussit et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus.

Christianity released European humanity from its superficial and crude absorption in an ephemeral, uncertain, and hollow existence. ... coelumque tueri Jussit, et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus. Accordingly, Christianity does not only preach Justice, but the Love of Mankind, Compassion, Charity, Reconciliation, Love of one's Enemies, Patience, Humility, Renunciation, Faith, and Hope.

Consequently it is not to them, but only to those nobler and more highly endowed natures, those men who really think and observe things round them, and are the exceptions in the human race, that the following lines are applicable: "Os homini sublime dedit coelumque tueri Jussitt et erectos ad sidera tollere vultus." Why is "common" an expression of contempt?
