And the third, speaking of the civil wars betwixt Caesar and Pompey, "Victrix causa diis placuit, set victa Catoni." And the fourth, upon the praises of Caesar: "Et cuncta terrarum subacta, Praeter atrocem animum Catonis." And the master of the choir, after having set forth all the great names of the greatest Romans, ends thus: "His dantem jura Catonem."
My maxim is, Animum rege qui nisi paret imperat, and that means, Make your temper your servant, or else it will be your master. But to ill-use my dear little wife it is unnatural, it is monstrous, it makes my blood boil." "Oh, dear! don't go into another. It is all over. I can't bear to see you in a passion; you are so terrible, so beautiful. Ah! they are fine things, courage and strength.
"Secularia negotia, nescio, quia scire nolo, eorum námque occupationes horreo, liberum affectans animum.
He always talked to me as if it were in a man's own power to attain it; but Dr Johnson told me that he owned to him, when they were alone, his persuasion that it was in a great measure constitutional, or the effect of causes which do not depend on ourselves, and that Horace boasts too much, when he says, aequum mi animum ipse parabo.

Ira furor brevis est: animum rege; qui, nisi paret, Imperat: hunc fraenis, hunc tu compesce catena. Epist. I. ii.

Caelum non animum mutant is only tolerably true. A derangement of stars is all the change you get by travelling everywhere the same golden-headed nails, as Hugo, hard-driven, called them, are sticking in the firmament.

'atrocem animum Catonis. 'Cato Of spirit unsubdued. FRANCIS. Horace, 2 Odes, i. 24. Yet Baretti, who knew Johnson well, in a MS. note on Piozzi Letters, i.315, says: 'If ever Johnson took any delight in anything it was to converse with some old acquaintance. New people he never loved to be in company with, except ladies, when disposed to caress and flatter him.
I shall only beg pardon for such a profusion of Latin quotations; which I should not have made use of, but that I feared my own judgment would have looked too singular on such a subject, had not I supported it by the practice and authority of Virgil.
