Painful pre-eminence! he hears, 'tis true, Fox, North, and Burke, but hears Sir Joseph too. "Nihil tetigit quod non ornavit." In a note he adds: 'Professor Conington calls my attention to the fact that, if this were a genuine classical expression, it would be ornaret.
Nothing could well justify the adoption of this inconclusive and utterly imperfect article, but the celebrity of its author and actor: For Sir William Monson, and the editor of Churchill's Collection, seem to have dosed in giving to the public this Vox et preterea nihil. Cruizing Voyage to the Azores by Captain Whiddon, in 1586, written by John Evesham .
To lay down such light land into permanent pasture does not pay; it is therefore left to its own devices, with the result that in a short time weeds and moss and rough grasses spring up less unprofitable than ploughed fields, and almost as favourable for hunting the fox as the fair pastures of the Vale of Aylesbury.

If the middleman is a capitalist he may get something for use of his capital; but that too implies that his capital is put to some useful work. Work and Pay of the Middleman.
John Romley, unseen in the choir, was something very different from John Romley in private life with his loose face and flabby handshake. Old Mr. Wesley had once dismissed him contemptuously as vox et praeterea nihil: but disembodied thus, almost a thing celestial, yet subtly recalling home to her and ties renounced, the voice shook Hetty's soul.
The principal subject of his inquiries was deity itself, the great First Cause, the supreme Intelligence of the universe. From the principle ex nihilo nihil fit he concluded that nothing could pass from non-existence to existence. All things that exist are created by supreme Intelligence, who is eternal and immutable.
"Get off to Paris without delay. Take your place by the side of really great people. Aut Caesar aut nihil. The very idea of Paris should have guarded you from all passing fancies." To this Wolfgang replies: Mannheim, Feb. 19, 1778.
