"Momentumque fuit mutatus Curio rerum, Gallorum captus spoliis et Cæsaris auro." Lucanus, Pharsalia, iv. 819 Kaltwasser makes Cæsar say to Metellus, "It was not harder for him to say it than to do it;" which has no sense in it. What Cæsar did say appears from the Life of Cæsar, c. 35. Cæsar did not mean to say that it was as easy for him to do it as to say it.
But he got it down somehow, and then came prayers, conducted as usual every evening by Dr Jolliffe, who, when the boys filed out afterwards, told him to remain. "By a process of elimination I, recognising all the other boys in my house, have come to the conclusion that you are Crawley," said the doctor solemnly. "Yes, sir," replied Crawley. "Quantum mutatus ab illo!
At the corner of the Rue de Serpent a shop caught my eye. Over the door were the words: "Colonial Products Piquedent"; then underneath, so as to enlighten the most ignorant: "Grocery." I exclaimed: "'Quantum mutatus ab illo!" Piquedent raised his head, left his female customer, and rushed toward me with outstretched hands. "Ah! my young friend, my young friend, here you are!
Marprelate now appears "with a wit worn into the socket, twingling and pinking like the snuff of a candle; quantum mutatus ab illo! how unlike the knave he was before, not for malice but for sharpness. The hogshead was even come to the hauncing, and nothing could be drawne from him but the dregs."
Luis de Leon en su celda, que habia venido á sus manos un libro estrañamente curioso, el cual le habia dado Arias Montano... y que en el principio del libro contaba una revelacion que habia tenido el que lo compuso, estando de noche orando, que vió en la oscuridad una luz, y que della oyó que salia una voz que dijo: Quomodò obscuratum est aurum, mutatus est color optimus! y que temiéndose este declarante no fuese algun mal libro, le habia mucha instancia que le dijese si habia en él alguna herejía, y que el dicho Fr.

"Momentumque fuit mutatus Curio rerum " The only sign vouchsafed to them was the conversion of an unprincipled debauchee. They have, therefore, a fair claim to be judged each upon the merits of his case, and not in the lump as enemies of the human race; and to judge them fairly is a good exercise in historical morality.
She brought my usual breakfast at the usual time, and smiled again, but put her finger on her lips to warn me to be silent and careful. She went downstairs, and left to myself again, I grew furious to think that Margaret would see me so, a regular wild man of the woods quantum mutatus ab illo Hectare. But my ravings ceased at the sound of preparations without.
Swift. With Scotch food, etc. etc. etc. The King had left ... the Duke of York with the Queen, with direction "that he should conform himself entirely to the will and pleasure of the Queen his mother, matters of religion only excepted." Swift. Yet lost his kingdom for the sake of Popery. Swift. Quantum mutatus! Swift. Because he was illiterate, and only read Popish Latin. Swift.
