She said, 'Only half a teaspoonful for me, Dora. We mustn't use it all up. And she tasted it and said nothing. Then Dicky said: 'Look here, I chuck this. I'm not going to hawk round such beastly stuff. Any one who likes can have the bottle. Quis? And Alice got out 'Ego' before the rest of us. Then she said, 'I know what's the matter with it. It wants sugar.
Plautus, Pseud. 3, 2, 80 seems to make the same mistake. SI QUIS DEUS: the present subjunctive is noticeable; strictly, an impossible condition should require the past tense, but in vivid passages an impossible condition is momentarily treated as possible. So Cic. generally says si reviviscat aliquis, not revivisceret. DECURSO SPATIO: 'when I have run my race'. See n. on 14.
The great portrait-painter the sun, in his diurnal course all over the world, may be, for aught we know, photographing mankind, and registering us, too; and, if we are to judge from the specimens we do see, the collection cannot be very flattering. Who dares call the sun a flatterer? "... Solem quis dicere falsum Audeat?"
Bastwick, propounding the same objection, Si quis objiciat nos ipsos pertinaci ceremoniarum papalium contemptu, Papistis offendiculum posuisse, quo minus se nostris ecclesiis associent, he answereth out of the Apostle, Rom. xv. 2, that we are to please every one his neighbour only in good things to edification, and that we may not wink at absurd or wicked things, nor at anything in God’s worship which is not found in Scripture. 2.
Hence the observation of Seneca, that the malicious attention of the envious reader dwells with no less satisfaction on a faulty than on an elegant expression, and is as anxious to discover what it may ridicule, as what it may commend; as the poet also observes: "Discit enim citius meminitque libentius illud Quod quis deridet, quam quod probat et veneratur."
"I could not help thinking to myself," said my member, "that at that conference there must have been many men of sufficient classical reading to say to themselves, 'Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes." In which surmise he was quite right. Except perhaps for "Tempus fugit," "verbum sap.," "Arma virumque," and "Quis custodiet," there is no better known relic of antiquity.
For they have respect to their profit, because for the most part they are not acted by the Spirit of God, but their ambition carries them." Thus Calvin in Amos vii. 13. Oh what exclamations would this holy man have poured out, had he lived to see the passages of our days! Quis talia fando temperet a lachrymis! II. Subordinate ministerial power, which is either,
After reminding himself, in his diary, of the warning against those who, after putting their hand to the plough, 'look back, he proceeds to look back, because he cannot help it. It is a time past and gone it relates to a work done and over. "Quis mihi tribuat, ut sim iuxta menses pristinos, secundum dies, quibus Deus custodiebat me?
Jefferson that it made on others who had the ability and the disposition to serve it; and he obeyed the call; thinking and feeling in this respect with the great Roman orator: "Quis enim est tam cupidus in perspicienda cognoscendaque rerum nature, ut, si, ei tractanti contemplantique, res cognitione dignissmas subito sit allatum periculum discrimenque patriae, cui subvenire opitularique possit, non illa omnia relinquat atque abjiciat, etiam si dinumerare se stellas, aut metiri mundi magnitudinem posse arbitretur?"
"In this house you are different from other people," replies Harry. "I don't know how, but I always feel quiet and happy somehow when I come to you." "Quis me uno vivit felicior? aut magis hac est Optandum vita dicere quis potuit?" calls out General Lambert. "Do you know where I got these verses, Mr.
