Every trot is a jog, and so, for that matter, is every canter. A dog-trot takes its name from the even motion of the smaller quadruped, when it is seized with no particular mania, and is yet disposed to go stubbornly forward. It is in more classical dialect, the festina lente motion. It is regularly forward, and therefore fast it never puts the animal out of breath, and is therefore slow.
"Well, be as quick as you can, that's all," replied I. "Festina lente, as Dr Tadpole often says, adding that it is Latin for hat and boots. I am surprised at his ignorance of the classics; any schoolboy ought to know that caput is the Latin for hat, and Bootes for boots. But lately I have abandoned the classics, and have given up my soul to poetry." "Indeed!"
"Theoretically I agree with most of Bathurst's views, practically I see that a score of officials like him would excite a revolution throughout a whole province. In India, of all places in the world, the maxim festina lente go slow is applicable. You have the prejudices of a couple of thousand years against change.

At all events, a little golden fragment of bachelorhood remained. There was yet a fertile strip of time wherein to sow my last handful of the wild oats of youth. So festina lente, my destined Sylvia, festina lente!
Smythe smiled a queer livid smile. 'Yes, I thought of that all along, since the boy mentioned the porch, he said. 'I've just been looking up the old belief in that new book of yours. I was seen going in, therefore I must look to go out in these next twelve months. A year, a month, a week, a natural day That Faustus may repent and save his soul! O lente, lente currite, noctis equi!
Shall an additional 2d. be grudged to turn that reading talent into right and safe channels, where it may work for the public welfare and economy? Festina lente, good Mr. Ogle, I beseech you. That way fierce controversy and, it may be, disaster lies. Do not stir the Philistine within us. The British nation is still savage under the skin. It has no real love for books, libraries, or librarians.
