"Nor put off our designs for a child's play," said D'Effiat impatiently, and wrapping himself in a cloak which was thrown over him. "Remember the lines we formerly so frequently quoted, 'Justum et tenacem Propositi viruna'; these iron words are stamped upon my brain. Yes; let the universe crumble around me, its wreck shall carry me away still resolute."
Let us fall upon all Classicals and Liberals without distinction of age or sex, and put them all to the sword with ridicule. There must be no quarter." "We must act honorably; there must be no bribing with copies of books or presents; no taking money of publishers. We must inaugurate a Restoration of Journalism." "Good!" said Martainville. "Justum et tenacem propositi virum!
Nam quomodo hoc justum sit ut indignos coronet, incomprehensibile est modo, videbimus autem, cum illuc venerimus, ubi jam non credetur, sed revelata facie videbitur.
Popular demonstrations of the most threatening kind were often made, but to no purpose. Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentum mente quatit solida. The Pontiff could not be moved from his firm resolve. The ministry, however, was shaken.
Hence, the ancient definition of justice Justum aequale est, injustum inaequale. What is it, then, to practise justice? It is to give equal wealth to each, on condition of equal labor.

Sampson told him angrily to go to a certain great personage. "Not afore my betters," whispered Mr. Maxley, smit with a sudden respect for etiquette "Won't ye, now?"
An idea occurred to me which may very likely have been noticed by a hundred people before. I was always puzzled to understand the reason for the extremely abrupt transitions in those Odes of Horace which are meant to be particularly fine. The "justum et tenacem" is an instance. All at once you find yourself in heaven, Heaven knows how.
'Justum et tinacem propositi virum, murmured Merton, adding, 'All that is very interesting, but, my dear sir, while I admire the tenacity of your principles, will you permit me to ask, what has vaccination to do with the special business of our firm? 'Why, sir, I have a family, and my eldest son 'Does he decline to be vaccinated? asked Merton, in a sympathetic voice.
No other man of his race have I known in whom the patriotic fire burned more intensely, or who better merited the description of the Latin poet, "Justum et tenacem propositi virum," or had more of the English bulldog tenacity in a cause which he considered just and of vital importance to the country.
