The first charm the Syrens made use of to allure Ulysses is of this nature: "Deca vers nous, deca, o tres-louable Ulysse, Et le plus grand honneur don't la Grece fleurisse." These philosophers said, that all the glory of the world was not worth an understanding man's holding out his finger to obtain it: "Gloria quantalibet quid erit, si gloria tantum est?"
It was time to look to his horse, who had more false quarter than real, being a worse jade than Gonela's, qui tantum pellis et ossa fuit; however, his master thought that neither Alexander's Bucephalus nor the Cid's Babieca could be compared with him.
I have known him these twenty years, when I was at his father's as a private tutor. Old Miss Honeyman is one of those cards which we call trumps so was old Honeyman a trump; but Charles and his sister " I stamped on F. B.'s foot under the table. He seemed to have forgotten that he was about to speak of Clive's mother. "Hem! of your poor mother, I hem I may say vidi tantum. I scarcely knew her.
In such a life there is no place for untruthfulness or any member of its impish brood. The one concern of the child, as of the man, is to be loyal to intrinsic reality, to be true to his true self. His standard is always inward, not outward. He knows that he is what he is, not what he is reputed to be. Quantum unusquisque est in oculis Tuis, tantum est et non amplius.
My desire of beholding Voltaire, whom I then rated above his real magnitude, was easily gratified. He received me with civility as an English youth; but I cannot boast of any peculiar notice or distinction, Virgilium vidi tantum. The ode which he composed on his first arrival on the banks of the Leman Lake, O Maison d'Aristippe!
When the people rose to sing the Tantum Ergo, she saw Gadbeau slip unnoticed out of the church. She waited tensely until the singing was finished, then she almost ran to the door. Gadbeau, mounted on one of the ponies that had been standing all day in the little woods, was riding away in the direction of the trail which she had come down this morning.
The yoke of bondage of Christians, in respect of feasts, is heavier than the yoke of the Jews, not only for the multitude of them, but because Christianorum festa, ab hominibus tantum, judaeorum vero a Deo fuerint instituta, saith Hospinian.
Lorenzo Valla's famous declamation against the Donation of Constantine, which appeared during the pontificate of Nicholas, contained these reminiscences of the 'De Monarchiá': 'Ut Papa tantum vicarius Christi sit et non etiam Cæsaris ... tune Papa et erit et dicetur pater sanctus, pater omnium, pater ecclesæ.
A Fable or Apologue, such as is now under consideration, seems to be, in its genuine state, a narrative in which beings irrational, and sometimes inanimate, arbores loquuntur, non tantum ferae, are, for the purpose of moral instruction, feigned to act and speak with human interests and passions. To this description the compositions of Gay do not always conform.
Surely that must touch the Sacred Heart! Will not His Mother say one word? "Hosanna! Hosanna au Fils de David!" "Hosanna!" cried the priest. "Hosanna!" cried the people. "Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!..." One articulate roar of disappointed praise, and then Tantum ergo Sacramentum! rose in its solemnity. When Benediction was over, I went back to the Bureau; but there was little to be seen there.
