The point which we consider it our duty to note is, that outside of and beyond his faith, as it were, the Bishop possessed an excess of love. It was in that quarter, quia multum amavit, because he loved much that he was regarded as vulnerable by "serious men," "grave persons" and "reasonable people"; favorite locutions of our sad world where egotism takes its word of command from pedantry.
And they sat and talked together, until he took leave of her to return to the garden, and to show himself to Mary Magdalene, who, next to his glorious Mother, had most need of consolation. Quia quem meruisti portare, Alleluia! Resurrexit sicut dixit, Alleluia!
Of others besides the many brave men who lived before Agamemnon might it be written: sed omnes illacrumabiles Urgentur, ignotique larga Nocte, carent quia vate sacro.
Nor is there anything that should be further removed from youth than the contemplation of death, which to old age is but a haven of rest to be desired, whereas to those who are still young it is an abyss to be abhorred. It is well to say, "Memento, homo, quia pulvis es," but not to say it too often, lest the dust of individual human existence make cobwebs in the existence of humanity.

If the writer did not profess for that relic of ancient France the piety of the Marquis, he never failed to enter there to pay his literary respects to the tomb of Madame de Beaumont, to that 'quia non sunt' of an epitaph which Chateaubriand inscribed upon her tombstone, with more vanity, alas, than tenderness.
These she answered readily at first, but, as his questions grew, she faltered, became embarrassed, and fell silent, standing before him white and trembling, no doubt a very piteous figure. The Pope, not liking this, turned to the Prior to demand an explanation, and admonished him sternly: "Caveto, Pater, quia ego Papa sum!"

Virgil shows knowledge of men when he says of the row-boat straining in emulation, 'Possunt quia posse videntur.
