You did well to intercept them, and it may be right to transmit the most remarkable to the Minister of Police.

Nothing is wiser than the maxim, 'cedant arma togae', for the maintenance of republics.
According to clerical opinion in the Philippines, the highest secular official is inferior to a friar-cook: cedant arma togae, said Cicero in the Senate cedant arma cottae, say the friars in the Philippines.

Were there anything to do, he wished to do it, let it be what it might. "Cedant arma togæ." If anything was written on his heart, it was that. Yet he loved the idea of leading an army, and panted for a military triumph. As far as I can judge, he cared nothing for luxurious eating and drinking, and yet he wished to be reckoned among the gormands and gourmets of his times.
