He who was fortunate enough to procure a can of water by these means, was sued to, and envied as a rich man. Quem pulchrum digito monstrari, et dicere hic est.
Now this is true, even to-day, of our English and our American law. That is, the great bulk of the law that is administered in our courts is not "written," it is not in any code. There are, of course, text-books on the subject, but they are of no binding authority. It resides in the learning of the judges. It is what is called court-made law "jus dicere," not "jus dare."
'In nova fert animus mutatas dicere formas Out he pulls his pedigree, on he buckles his sword, gives his beaver a brush, and cocks it in the face of all creation.
You may boast that the incomparably wise Quintilian and you are of one Mind in this Particular. If any Child be of so disingenuous a Nature, as not to stand corrected by Reproof, he, like the very worst of Slaves, will be hardned even against Blows themselves. And afterwards, 'Pudet dicere in quae probra nefandi homines isto caedendi jure abutantur, i. e.
That would, indeed, be double-edged praise to give to most men: but with Johnson it is absolutely true without being in the least damaging. For his talk is always talk, not writing or preaching; and it is always his own. That dictum of Horace which he and Wilkes discussed at the famous dinner at Dilly's, Difficile est proprie communia dicere, gives the exact praise of Johnson as a talker.
A few months before he was slain, a raven on the Capitol uttered these words: "All will be well." Some person gave the following interpretation of this prodigy: Nuper Tarpeio quae sedit culmine cornix. "Est bene," non potuit dicere; dixit, "Erit." Late croaked a raven from Tarpeia's height, "All is not yet, but shall be, right."
Max, it was pitiful to listen to the tittle-tattle that was read. None had learned beforehand what he wanted to say. Dicere de scripto is a shame for learned men. Only Cardinal Gibbons made a short, but colourless and dull extemporaneous address, which closed with the hypocrisy, what a great thing it is to keep oneself unspotted by this world.
More depends on the last two minutes than on the first ten." From a choice little tract on Preaching, by "Prediger." He is quoting Cicero. Dixit ergo quidam eloquens, et verum dixit, ita dicere debere eloquentem, ut doceat, ut delectet, ut flectat.
It is on the actor Roscius, who, when a boy, was renowned for his beauty, and is favourably compared with the rising orb of day: "Constiteram exorientem Auroram forte salutans, Cum subito e laeva Roscius exoritur. Pace mihi liceat, caelestes, dicere vestra: Mortalis visust pulcrior esse deo." This piece, as may be supposed, has met with imitators both in French and Italian literature.
And, in our mind, though far inferior as a moralist to the Stoics, Aristotle is often less of a pagan than Paley. Coleridge's dislike to Sir Sidney Smith and the Egyptian Lord Hutchinson fell under the category of Martial's case. 'Non amo te, Sabidi, nec possum dicere quare, Hoc solum novi non amo te, Sabidi.
