Founders' kinsmen have a preference in the election of fellows in many colleges of our universities: the qualifications at All Souls are, that they should be optime nati, bene vestiti, mediocriter docti. By contending for liberty in the candidate for orders, you take away the liberty of the elector, which is the people, that is, the state.
"Lord, make men as towers!" he remembered his father's prayer in the field by Tewkesbury, and at last he understood. "All towers carry a lamp of some kind" why, of course they did. He looked about him. The small chorister's face was glowing "Triune Deus, hominum Salutis auctor optime, Immensum hoc mysterium Ovante lingua canimus!"
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.
Therewith a low, soft chant in a manly voice, mingling with the drip of the water. The words were strange to him Lucis Creator optime, Lucem dierum proferens

However, we had no fear; for the Reverend Mr. Coddler used to send monthly accounts of his pupil's progress, and if Tug was not a wonder of the world, I don't know who was. It was General behavior......excellent. English...............very good. French................tres bien. Latin.................optime. And so on: he possessed all the virtues, and wrote to us every month for money.
"Yes," said the boy wearily. "What mark for the verses?" said Ethel. "Quam bene." "Not optime?" "No, they were tame," Dr. Hoxton said. "What is Harry doing?" said Margaret. "He is fourth in his form. I left him at football." "Dinner!" said Flora at the door. "What will you have, Margaret?" "I'll fetch it," said Norman, who considered it his privilege to wait on Margaret at dinner.
Tu modo versiculis ne spernas vilibus ausum Auguror et res est ista futura brevi! Sis foelix, fortisque diu, vive optime princeps, Omnia, et ut possis vincere, dura. Vale! As soon as she held her peace, his Majesty said, "Propius accedas, patria virgo, ut te osculer"; whereupon she drew near to his horse, blushing deeply.
There needs no more to die but to will to die: "Ubique mors est; optime hoc cavit deus. Eripere vitam nemo non homini potest; At nemo mortem; mille ad hanc aditus patent." Any one may deprive us of life; no one can deprive us of death. To death there are a thousand avenues."
Cur vulnerari pateretur optime meritos de se milites? cur denique fortunam periclitaretur, praesertim cum non minus esset imperatoris consilio superare quam gladio?" This consideration for the lives of his soldiers, when the storm was over, won him gratitude; and it was no single instance. Everywhere they are mentioned with high praise, and no small portion of the victory is ascribed to them.
