It is not the bill of fare that so pleases me. In fact, some of the best meals of which I have ever partaken, were those the materials of which I could not have remembered twenty minutes after. Exquisite palatal pleasures, then, are not a sine qua non in the enjoyment of table comforts. No, indeed.
Thus no one would insist on the Malthusian teaching being a sine quâ non in a seat of learning, who did not think it simply ignorance not to be a Malthusian; and no one would consent to drop the Newtonian theory, who thought it to have been proved true, in the same sense as the existence of the sun and moon is true.
"Now," she argued, "if Kelson were so easily influenced by Lilian Rosenberg, who was young and attractive, it was almost a sine quâ non that he was in love with her," and as marriage was one of the eventualities strictly forbidden to the trio in the compact "they must neither quarrel nor marry," Shiel had exclaimed here was their chance.
And Barbara has made such a signal failure hitherto, that I think it is but fair that I should try my little possible." "All I ask of you is," says Bobby, gravely, "not to take a fellow who has not got any shooting." "I will make it a sine qua non," I answer, seriously. A louder screech than ever from the geese, accompanied with wing-flappings. How unanimous they are! There is not a voice wanting.
How he loved his father may be seen in the terza rima poem on his death in 1534. Notice this expression in a letter to his father, written from Rome, about 1512, "Bastivi avere del pane, e vivete ben con Cristo e poveramente; come fo io qua, che vivo meschinamente."

Tacitus, speaking of an army that awkwardly and unwillingly obeyed its generals only from the fear of punishment, says, they obeyed indeed, 'Sed ut qua mallent jussa Imperatorum interpretari, quam exequi'. For my own part, I disclaim such obedience.
He affirmed, that if the ministers had proceeded conformably to the intentions of parliament, they would either have acted with vigour, or have obtained a real security in an express acknowledgment of our right not to be searched as a preliminary, sine qua non, to our treating at all. Instead of this, they had referred it to plenipotentiaries.
On the north side is a Hebrew sentence said to signify, Jehovah is our help. "Qua patres difficillime adepti sunt, nolite turpiter relinquare." Which means, What our fathers with so much difficulty secured, do not basely relinquish." Then we see the monument of his son, an Indian fighter. The epitaph reads like this: Here lies the body of ye honorable Major Wm.
In other words, a truly conscientious person not only scrupulously does what he believes to be right; but he also constantly strives to get all the truth, that his conscience may be enlightened more and more. To follow our conscience, therefore, in searching for and obeying the truth, is our highest duty to God, and it is the sine qua non of acceptance with him.
Further, it is a great recommendation of a classification, that it groups together things of like general aspect; but this is not a sine quâ non: a group may be natural even if based on very unobvious properties, provided these are marks of many other properties, though certainly then there should be also some more obvious property to act as a mark of the unobvious ones which form the real basis.
