The young fellow sitting near me winked; and the divinity-student said, in an undertone, Optime dictum. Your talking Latin, said I, reminds me of an odd trick of one of my old tutors. He read so much of that language, that his English half turned into it. He got caught in town, one hot summer, in pretty close quarters, and wrote, or began to write, a series of city pastorals.
Evidently the Lemaitre-Coppee-Deroulede dictum, "Only the Catholic can be called a Frenchman," is not accepted at Nevers. In dazzlingly brilliant weather, and amid glowing scenery, we continued our journey to Moulins, as we travelled by rail, and not by road unable to identify "the little opening in the road leading to a thicket" where Sterne discovered Maria.
In the early days of the Buddha's mission he asked for a brief summary of the new teaching and in reply the essential points were formulated in the well-known verses which declare that all things have a cause and an end . Such utterances sound like a scientific dictum about the uniformity of nature or cosmic law.
I would have given a specimen of this very interesting diary, but that I scrupled to occupy space which your correspondents enable you to fill so effectively, for I fully subscribe to the dictum of the Ragguagliatore, "Il Sanuto si presenta come la Scott degli Storiei, compincendosi come Sir Walter delle giostre, delle feste, e delle narrazioni piacevole e di dolce piet
Elementary as these principles will appear to the modern student or engineer, they were denounced as nothing short of absurdity at the time of their promulgation especially so with regard to Edison's proposal to upset the then settled dictum that the armature resistance should be equal to the external resistance.
Only, what could she do; ah, what? A wave of hopelessness seemed to seize upon her, and back across her mind like a lash cut the dictum of the strong, rigid man, "A millionaire's daughter can generally be pretty useful if she likes."
Why, none other than the mere dictum of Smith himself and the certificates of eleven other individuals, who say that they have seen them; and upon this testimony we are required to believe this most extraordinary narrative. Now, even admitting, for the sake of argument, that these witnesses are all honest and credible men, yet what would be easier than for Smith to deceive them?
It had been from the beginning of things a Trojan dictum that the revealing of emotion was the worst of gaucheries Clare, Garrett, and Robin himself had been schooled in this matter from their respective cradles; and now the lesson must be put into practice. For Robin, of course, it was no revelation at all, but he dared not look at his aunt; he understood a little what it must mean to her.
Of course there was no appeal from his dictum, and from the moment of his declaration that spot was regarded as sacred by all the people, who firmly believed that when their leader spoke it was through inspiration from heaven. The most terrible fate that ever befell a caravan on the Old Trail was that known to history as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
That his ambition was realized no one now disputes. Among his first discoveries, it came to him with a thrill that a certain species of jellyfish bears a very close resemblance to the human embryo at a certain stage. And he remembered the dictum of Goethe, that the growth of the individual mirrors the growth of the race.
