If I hadn't believed everything I see in print, hadn't been so cock-sure, and hadn't been so ready to parade borrowed plumage as my own, all this linguistic coil would have been averted. I suppose Mr. Henderson would send me to jail again for this. I certainly didn't do my best, and therefore I am immoral, and therefore a sinner; quad erat demonstrandum.
"You don't need to tell me what this plan of reorganization is; because they wouldn't propose one unless it was going to benefit them in some way, and the only way it can be made to benefit them is at the expense of the other stockholders. Quod erat demonstrandum." Mr.
Quod demonstrandum est. Killygordon, July 29th. No. 55. The rhythmical rocking of the little engine of the West Donegal line running across from Killygordon seemed to say ceaselessly Father O'Flynn must have been like a priest I met on Sunday, a Loyalist and a Conservative.

"To reason with the less worthy gender is degeneration of reason. What would they have said in the Senate-house, Janetta? However, I will obey your orders. What am I to look at?"
Your head isn't well, but all you want is a good rousin' sleep." "Very well, Nancy; very well, that's enough quite satisfactory quod erat demonstrandum. May all kinds of bad luck rest upon the Findramore boys, any way! The unlucky vagabonds I'm the third they've done up. Nancy, off wid ye, like quicksilver for the priest." "The priest! Why, Mat, jewel, what puts that into your head?
Strange as it may at first sight appear, this word is merely another form of our word father, of the German vater, and of the French pere. Now vot is evidently the same root as the German vat in Vater, and the English fath in father. Quod erat demonstrandum.
For, if not, let one bill be the greater, then the other bill is less than it might have been, which is absurd. Therefore the bills are equal. Quod erat demonstrandum. The business of the old philosophers was to philosophize. To philosophize as a business is to miss the highest philosophy.
Bernard had had nothing to distract his attention, he might have thought too much about his handsome partner, and then gone home and dreamed about her, which is always dangerous, and waked up thinking of her still, and then begun to be deeply interested in her studies, and so on, through the whole syllogism which ends in Nature's supreme quod erat demonstrandum.
