At any rate, let me not, on my return, have occasion to apply to you the motto, "Strenua me exercet inertia," nor that other of "Operose nihil agit." But so improve your time that you may with pleasure review and commit it to journal. "Hoc est, Vivere bis, vita priori frui." And let it, at no very distant period, be said of you, "Tot, tibi, sunt, ergo dotes, quot sidera coelo."

While the high aristocrats looked down as a rule on Cicero the novus homo, and for some years positively hated him , Caesar, though differing from him toto coelo in politics, was always on pleasant terms of personal intercourse with him; he had a charm of manner, a literary taste, and a genuine admiration for genius, which was invariably irresistible to the sensitive "novus homo."

So contracts were written, 50,000 in a single state, laborers advised, wages guaranteed, and employers supplied.
At least AEneas, who knew nothing of the machine of Somnus, takes it plainly in this sense: "O nimium coelo et pelago confise sereno, Nudus in ignota, Palinure, jacebis arena."
Britannia, insularum quas Romana notitia complectitur, maxima, spatio ac coelo in orientem Germaniae, in occidentem Hispaniae obtenditur: Gallis in meridiem etiam inspicitur: septemtrionalia ejus, nullis contra terris, vasto atque aperto mari pulsantur.
'Tres grande dame. She will launch you in 'puro coelo, as Juno might have launched one of her young peacocks." "There has been no acquaintance between our houses," returned the Marquis, dryly, "since the mesalliance of her second nuptials." "Mesalliance! second nuptials! Her second husband was the Duc de Tarascon." "A duke of the First Empire, the grandson of a butcher."
Though we differ toto coelo from the author in his views of religion and morality, and hold some of his remedies to tend rather to a dissolution than a reconstruction of society, yet we are bound to admit the benevolence and philanthropy of his motives. The scope of the work is nothing less than the whole field of political economy."
