Here again we have one of those qualities to be found among mankind everywhere and always: the instinct opposed to change, even to those changes for the good we call progress, the disposition that made Horace deride the laudator temporis acti se puero of his day, the feeling of the man who laments the passing of the "good old times" and the military veteran who assures us that "the country, sir, is going to the dogs."
It developed him into a magnificent soldier too true a soldier not to make thoroughly his the service he had adopted; not to, oftentimes, almost forget that he had ever lived under any other flag than that tricolor which he followed and defended now. The quaint, heroic Norman motto of his ancestors, carved over the gates of Royallieu "Coeur Vaillant Se Fait Royaume" verified itself in his case.
"Prima est haec ultio, quod se Judice nemo nocens absohitur."
Though not mortal, it was of a dangerous nature; and the surgeons ended a very painful operation by promising a very lingering recovery. What a charming satisfaction for being insulted! Je me contente de ce qui peut s'ecrire, et je reve tout ce qui peut se rever.
"The new Colony, placed between Canada and the Pacific, must be essentially British, in the sense of its forming one secure link in a chain of British nations, or, in the interests of Canada, it had better never be organized. The power and prestige of the Crown is essential to this end, and a separate Colony, even, would have many advantages per se.
Adam shook his head. "No troops," he sighed. "I told my Chief about it, and he said we must wait till they chopped a white man. He advised me if ever I felt like it not to commit a a barren felo de se, but to let the Sheshaheli do it. Then he could report, and then we could mop 'em up!" "Most immoral! That's how we got " Stalky quoted the name of a province won by just such a sacrifice.
Su familia, que había quedado en Madrid, se le reunió después en Bruselas de donde en 1829 pasó D. Manuel de encargado de negocios a Londres. De esta última corte, y siendo ministro plenipotenciario, después de la caída de Carlos X, fué dos veces a París con el carácter de enviado extraordinario, logrando ajustar nuestro primer tratado de amistad y comercio con Francia.
Pleasures differ from each other in species: there are good pleasures, i.e., those arising from good sources; and bad pleasures, i.e., from bad sources. The pleasure per se is always desirable; but not when it comes from objectionable acts. The pleasures of each man will vary according to his character; none but a musical man can enjoy the pleasures of music.
Feldman broke in hurriedly. "You can't refuse those terms, Mr. Mintz. Mr. Potash will sign for his partner, I apprehend, and then Mr. Perlmutter will be bound under the principle of qui fecit per alium fecit per se." No one could stand up against such a flood of Latin, and Louis nodded. "All right," he said. "Let her go that way." Mr. Feldman immediately rang for a stenographer.
The majority of ladies in moderate or narrow circumstances live in county-towns, such as Exeter, Salisbury, etc., or in watering-places, which abound and are of all degrees of fashion and expense. County-town and watering-place society is a thing per se, and has very little to do with "county" society, which means that of the landed gentry living in their country-houses.
