Shew me the money for the tribute; and they brought him a denarius. And he saith unto them, Whose figure is this and inscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar's; and to God, the things which are God's. And when they heard him, they marvelled, and leaving him, went away.
'Whose image and superscription hath it? said Christ, looking at the Roman denarius that they brought and laid on His palm. If the Emperor's head is on it, why, then, he has a right to it as tribute.

Thou hast just such a white beard as had Damad Ibrahim who was once Grand Vizier." "I have often heard people say so, my master." On arriving opposite the Zuleima Mosque, the boatman brought the skiff ashore. Halil pressed a golden denarius into the old man's palm, the old man kissed his hand for it. Then for a long time Halil gazed into the old man's face. "Manoli!" "At thy command, my master."
This husbandman at once engaged all the men that he found, and sent them into his vineyard to begin work at six in the morning, the first hour of the Jewish day.

It is a rule among men, in matters other than dice, to keep the record closest when the deal is least.

If I were as clever as Brian I shouldn't mind how poor I was. With his talents he is sure to get to the top of the tree. 'What can he do? asked Ida. 'Ride a bicycle better than any man I know. 'What else? 'Sing a first-rate comic song.

"That is bad judgment," Titus said, frowning at the last sentence. "Unpleasant truth always is," Joseph retorted.
Thus the Attic -drachma-, although sensibly heavier than the -denarius-, was yet reckoned equal to it; the -tetradrachmon- of Antioch, weighing on an average 15 grammes of silver, was made equal to 3 Roman -denarii-, which only weigh about 12 grammes; the -cistophorus- of Asia Minor was according to the value of silver above 3, according to the legal tariff =2 1/2 -denarii-; the Rhodian half -drachma- according to the value of silver=3/4, according to the legal tariff = 5/8 of a -denarius-, and so on.
