Oscar Wilde stopped where the religion of Goethe began; he was far more of a pagan and individualist than the great German; he lived for the beautiful and extraordinary, but not for the Good and still less for the Whole; he acknowledged no moral obligation; "in commune bonis" was an ideal which never said anything to him; he cared nothing for the common weal; he held himself above the mass of the people with an Englishman's extravagant insularity and aggressive pride.
Bonis nocet quis quis pepercerit malis; that is a true saying which, as a priest, I should obey, and which I intend to obey if only for your own benefit. After punishment comes repentance and amendment. Cargrim scowled. 'It is no use talking further, my lord, he said roughly. 'As I have acted like a fool, I must take a fool's wages.
Horace says well, fortes creantur fortibus et bonis good men beget good children; the rule held even in the geological period; good ichthyosauri begat good ichthyosauri, and would to our discomfort have gone on doing so to the present time, had not better creatures been begetting better things than ichthyosauri, or famine, or fire, or convulsion put an end to them.
Mrs Rhymer acted for her as a sort of unofficial curator bonis, receiving her money and depositing it in the black box, of which she kept the key. On the Thursday, old Betty and young Nanny being sent from the room, the old lady had told Mrs Rhymer that she needed some money a guinea.
Multa sunt alia mira in hac ciuitate, de quibus sciatis, quod non omnia vobis recitabo. De Pygmaeis, et de itinere vsque in prouinciam Cathay.

In factis probitas; fuit in sermone venustas, In vultu gravitas, relligione fides, In patriam pietas, in egenos grata voluntas, Accedunt reliquis annumeranda bonis. Si quod cuncta rapit, rapuit non omnia Lethum, Si quod Mors rapuit, vivida fama dedit. "These verses following are writ at length, two by two, in praise of him:
I often think of the sailormen at sea when the snow beats against the window and the winds howl around the corner." "The wu'st blow I ever remember," began the skipper, leaning back and hooking his brown hands behind his head like a basket, "was my second trip to Bonis Airis general cargo out, to fetch back hides.
All through the night it fell; and one of the novices, who lay a-dying in the Prioir's arms, heard it as he passed, and fell back, joy on his lips and a radiant smile on his young face. "'Esurientes implevit bonis," said the Prior, as he laid him down, blessing God.
While they were building houses in Philadelphia, the settlers lived in bark huts or in caves dug in the river bank, as the early settlers in New Jersey across the river had lived. Pastorius, a learned German Quaker, who had come out with the English, placed over the door of his cave the motto, "Parva domus, sed amica bonis, procul este profani," which much amused Penn when he saw it.
His Lordship in this sermon explains the words, 'deliver us from evil, in the Lord's Prayer, as signifying a request to be protected from 'the evil one, that is the Devil. This is well illustrated in a short but excellent Commentary by my late worthy friend, the Reverend Dr. Lort, of whom it may truly be said, Multis ille bonis flebilis occidit.
