We shall discover if there be prudence in his exercises, if there be sincerity and justice in his deportment, if there be grace and judgment in his speaking; if there be constancy in his sickness; if there be modesty in his mirth, temperance in his pleasures, order in his domestic economy, indifference in palate, whether what he eats or drinks be flesh or fish, wine or water: "Qui disciplinam suam non ostentationem scientiae, sed legem vitae putet: quique obtemperet ipse sibi, et decretis pareat."
He talks of you with the same warmth that he did last year. We are to see as much of Scotland as we can, in the months of August and September. Dr Beattie did better: ipse venit.
Nonne ego, cum lasso per Belgia stagna caballo Agmina liligeri fugeres victricia Galli, Ipse mei impositum dorso salientis equi te Hostibus eripui, salvumque in castra reduxi? Hæcne mihi meriti persolvis præmia tanti? Proh scelus! O Soceri rapti nequissime sceptri!"
"I hope you will find me more reasonable, Doctor," answered Albert; "and at the same time, that you will recollect I am not now sub ferula, but am placed in circumstances where I am not at liberty to act upon the ipse dixit of any man, unless my own judgment be convinced.

Once again we turn our eyes to history, to see whether Christianity was unique among religions in having no inner teaching, or whether it resembled all others in possessing this hidden treasure.

His situation at Harmony was very different; for most of the persons who came there had been accustomed to exercise their judgment in matters of practice, and this Mr. Owen is said not to have been able to endure.
The prejudices of honesty are entitled to consideration and the judgment of genius to respect bordering on reverence; but in this age of almost universal inquiry we cannot accept any man, however wise, as infallible pope in the realm of intellect and declare that from his ipse dixit there shall be no appeal.
And that the apostles were still sitting when they received the bread, Hospinian thinks it no less certain. They made no doubt of the certainty hereof who composed that old verse which we find in Aquinas: — Rex sedet in coena, turba cinctus duodena; Se tenet in manibus; se cibat ipse cibus.
"Don't say a word but 'uh-huh," whispered Dan quickly to Frank. "You'll be glad if you do it. It's all right." "Uh-huh," said Frank obediently, but thinking somethings that would have startled the men with him if they had guessed them. "Ipse dixit, de facto, as we say in the law," proceeded the judge pompously. "That's all, I think." The speaker dipped a pen in ink.
One member of the House has earnestly averred that it is; another that it is not. Which of them is right? I confess, for myself, that I cannot think it becomes the House to decide either way, upon the mere ipse dixit of individual members. Besides, the Petition calls in question not only slavery, but also the commerce in slaves.
