Nature, it seems, is waiting for me round the corner because I venture to stick to my principles. 'Ruat caelum! I cry; and in my humble opinion it's Nature, not I, that cuts a poor figure!"

I prefer the ridiculous."
Here it was good to get up before the sun, for then he could see the sun get up. And of all things those evening shadows lengthening out over the grassy wildernesses for fields of a very moderate size appeared such to an imagination ever ready at the smallest hint to ascend its solemn throne were a deepening marvel. Town to country is what a ceiling is to a caelum.
When Whitefield had recovered so as to commence his labors, he remarked that every part bore the aspect of an infant colony; that, besides preaching twice a day, and four times on the Lord's day, he visited from house to house, and was in general cordially received, and always respectfully; "but from time to time found that caelum non animum mutant, qui trans mare currunt.

If virtue feeble were, Heaven itself would stoop to her. Caelum non animum muto, dum trans mare curro.
