In the Selva, St. Alphonsus writes: "It is related that while two religious recited Matins a devil appeared, caused an intolerable stench, and through mockery said, 'To the prayer which you offer such incense is suited' ad talem orationem tale debetur incensum." Which attitude is the best? Seeing the examples of the saints, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Francis de Sales, St.
Equally elevated in tone, and with a temperate gravity peculiar to itself, is the part of the fourteenth satire which deals with the education of the young. We seem to hear once more in it the enlightened eloquence of Quintilian; in the famous Maxima debetur puero reverentia he sums up in a single memorable phrase the whole spirit of the instructor and the moralist.
But a master must not hear it; and even for a very inferior reason. He cannot be a critical instructor. GRATIAN. You are right: that was a deep observation of Juvenal; it gave the caution, "Maxima debetur pueris reverentia." I have often thought that good masters have ever shown very great tact in reading the Classics, where there is so much, even in the purest, that it is best not to understand.

The pudor of childhood was always esteemed at Rome: "adolescens pudentissimus" is the highest praise that can be given even to a grown youth; and there are signs that a feeling survived of a certain sacredness of childhood, which Juvenal reflects in his famous words, "Maxima debetur puero reverentia."
"If I talk French, 'tis because, look you, maxima debetur pueris reverentia! We have made up our minds, Brandolaccio and I, that the little girl shall turn out well, and go straight." "When she is turned fifteen," remarked Chilina's uncle, "I'll find a good husband for her. I have one in my eye already." "Shall you make the proposal yourself?" said Orso. "Of course!
XXV. Coactus tremor debetur animalibus spiritibus inordinatè ac continuo, cum aliquo impetu ad trementium membrorum musculos per nervos propulsis: sive fuerit is universalis, sive particularis, sive corpus fuerit ad huc robustum sive debile, Sylvii de la Boe.

If I may parody a celebrated aphorism of Quintilian, I would say, "Magna debetur hominibus reverentia :" in other words, we should carefully examine what it is that we propose to deliver in a permanent form to the taste and understanding of our species. An author ought only to commit to the press the first fruits of his field, his best and choicest thoughts.

Pasquale who is the shocking bad man," I said, amused. "What had you been doing in Aleppo?" "Maxime debetur," said he. "English are very wicked when they go to Syria," she remarked. "How can you possibly know?" I said. "Oh, I know," replied Carlotta, with a toss of her chin.
