We fired another salute and gave another yell, while the General shook hands with us and waved his sword. "'Oh, General, shouts Jones, 'this is great. This will be a real pleasure to the eagle. Get down and have a drink. "'Drink? says the general. 'No. There is no time to drink. Viva la Libertad! "'Don't forget E Pluribus Unum! says Henry Barnes.
Finally they looked at the great seal on our passports and saw it was an American document, and they began to turn pale, as pale as a Russian can get without using soap, and when I said, "Washington, embassador, minister plenipotentiary, Roosevelt, Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight, E Pluribus Unum, whoopla, San Juan Hill," and pointed to dad, who was just coming out of the stable, looking like Washington at Valley Forge, the guards and other robbers bowed to dad, gave him a bag full of Russian money in place of that which they had taken away, and let us take a freight train for St.
"And holdin' in its sinister talons a bunch of arrows." Sez I, "That means that in war it is so awful sinister, and lets them arrows fly onto its enemies where they are needed most." And then the Eagle holds in its beak a strip of paper with "E. Pluribus Unum" on it, which means "One formed out of many."
Whenever you see a bird or a beast or a seal or an otter in Africa you know that he is merely a sorry surviving fragment of that sublime original of whom I have been speaking that creature which was everything in general and nothing in particular the opulently endowed 'e pluribus unum' of the animal world.
Quibus auditis, filius regis Malcolmi Dunechan regem Willelmum, cui tune militavit, ut ei regnum sui patris concederet, petiit, et impetravit, illique fidelitatem juravit. Et sic ad Scotiam cum multitudine Anglorum et Normannorum properavit, et patruum suum Dufenaldum de regno expulit, et in loco ejus regnavit. Deinde nonnulli Scottorum in unum congregati, homines illius pene omnes peremerunt.
Martha; “erga plurima; porro unum est necessarium.” We ask questions perhaps about diction, elocution, rhetorical power; but does the commander of a besieging force dream of holiday displays, reviews, mock engagements, feats of strength, or trials of skill, such as would be graceful and suitable on a parade ground when a foreigner of rank was to be received and fêted; or does he aim at one and one thing only, viz., to take the strong place?
The studies which we have glanced at are preliminary in your education to the practical arts which make use of them, the arts of healing, surgery and medicine. The more you examine the structure of the organs and the laws of life, the more you will find how resolutely each of the cell-republics which make up the E pluribus unum of the body maintains its independence.
Wherefore, we pray God to open their eyes, that they may see their ceremonial laws to be substantial tyrannies over the consciences of God’s people. And for ourselves, we stand to the judgment of sounder divines, and we hold with Luther, that unum Dominum habemus qui animas nostras gubernat. With Hemmingius, that we are free ab omnibus humanis ritibus, quantum quidem ad conscientiam attinet.
Come, Henderson, speak up; what do you get out of it?" "Oh," said Henderson, glancing at his wife with an amused expression, "I'm doing very well. I'm very well taken care of, but I often wonder what the fellows did when polygamy was the fashion." "Polygamy, indeed!" cried Margaret. "So men only dropped the a pluribus unum method on account of the expense?" "Not at all," replied Henderson.
What do the princes of Europe mean to let such things be?" "Only the old story," said Father Antonio, "Principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, adversus Christum ejus." So much were all three absorbed in the subject of their thoughts, that no kind of greeting or mark of recognition passed among them, such as is common when people meet after temporary separation.
