"I shall bear your good wishes to the General, Monsieur." "The deuce you will! 'Exceptis excipiendis', I hope," responded the old gentleman, laughing.
'Tis true, I never make a promise nunquam facio votum, except in certain cases, or, in other words, Dionysius, exceptis excipiendis in which is the essence, as it were, of a proper vow. In the meantime he proceeded 'With regard to your prospects in the church, I can only say, in the first place, and I say it with much truth and sincerity that I'm badly off for a horse; that, however, is, as I said, inter nos sub sigillo.
If Mr Pontifex is to be blamed it is for not having eaten and drunk less and thus suffered less from his liver, and lived perhaps a year or two longer. Goodness is naught unless it tends towards old age and sufficiency of means. I speak broadly and exceptis excipiendis. So the psalmist says, "The righteous shall not lack anything that is good."
They say what is true, exceptis excipiendis; what is true, but requires guarding; true, but must not be ridden too hard, or made what is called a hobby; true, but not the measure of all things; true, but if thus inordinately, extravagantly, ruinously carried out, in spite of other sciences, in spite of Theology, sure to become but a great bubble, and to burst.

As soon as any art is pursued with a view to money, then farewell, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, all hope of genuine good work.
"I shall bear your good wishes to the General, Monsieur." "The deuce you will! 'Exceptis excipiendis', I hope," responded the old gentleman, laughing.
This having been explained, and it being understood that when we speak of design in organism we do so with a mental reserve of exceptis excipiendis, there should be no hesitation in holding the various modifications of plants and animals to be in such preponderating measure due to function, that design, which underlies function, is the fittest idea with which to connect them in our minds.
