But why can't the Government make arrangements with Lawn's Company if it desires to?" "A man can't exploit his own Government; you all know that as well as I do," returned Selwyn, smiling. "Pro aris et focis, you know ex necessitate rei." "When the inventor goes to the Government," said Austin, with a shrug "vestigia nulla retrorsum."
Conversation will contract the air of debate, and all mortal intercourse be chilled with a fatal frost. In classic times, the exhortation to fight "pro axis et focis," for the altars and the hearths, was considered the strongest appeal that could be made to patriotism.
As far as Germany is concerned the criticism of religion is practically completed, and the criticism of religion is the basis of all criticism. The profane existence of error is threatened when its heavenly oratio pro aris et focis has been refuted.
THE LAWYER'S TOAST. May the depth of our potations never cause us to let judgment go by default. Ad finem esto fidelis. Be faithful to the end. Amor patriae. The love of our country. Dilige amicos. Love your friends. Dum vivimus vivamus. Let us live while we live. Esto perpetua. Be thou perpetual. Palmam qid meruit ferate. Let him who has won bear the palm. Pro aris et focis.
Here, sober support of law and duty and delegated trust, /pro aris et focis/; there, haughty invasion and bellicose spirit of knighthood and that respect for name and person which we call "honour." Here, too, hardy physical force, there, skilful discipline. Here The Nine are as deaf as a post, and as cold as a stone! Plague take the jades! I can do better without them.
Now to kneeling in the act of receiving the Lord’s supper, which I will prove to be direct and formal idolatry; and from idolatry shall it never be purged while the world standeth, though our opposites strive for it, tanquam pro aris et focis. Sect. 7.
The homestead in Old Japan was not a stable institution like the Greek or the Roman home; the custom of burying the family dead upon the family estate never became general; the dwelling itself never assumed a substantial and lasting character. It could not be literally said of the Japanese warrior, as of the Roman, that he fought pro aris et focis.
As Dudley Carleton observed, men had been disputing 'pro aris' long enough. They would soon be fighting 'pro focis. In pursuance of the policy laid down by the Sharp Resolution, the States proceeded to assure themselves of the various cities of the province by means of Waartgelders. They sent to the important seaport of Brielle and demanded a new oath from the garrison.
