Lucullus's soldier having been rifled by the enemy, performed upon them in revenge a brave exploit, by which having made himself a gainer, Lucullus, who had conceived a good opinion of him from that action, went about to engage him in some enterprise of very great danger, with all the plausible persuasions and promises he could think of; "Verbis, quae timido quoque possent addere mentem"
Her guiding motto in life was that helpful line of Horace Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem. She had only been out of the room a few minutes, and in that brief period a middle-aged lady of commanding aspect had apparently come up through a trap. It would have been enough to upset most girls, but Jane Hubbard bore it calmly.
And, therefore, everything which can restore to them health of body, will preserve in them health of mind. Everything which ministers to the CORPUS SANUM, will minister also to the MENTEM SANAM; and a walk on Durham Downs, a game of cricket, a steamer excursion to Chepstow, shall send them home again happier and wiser men than poring over many wise volumes or hearing many wise lectures.
It never came, however, for Tom chose to disappoint expectations by reading aloud her own translation from her position in front of the fire. "Memento remember; mentem and mind; servare to hold up; aequam your mare; in rebus arduis going up hill. That translation, young ladies, was given by an undergraduate in the University of Oxford.
I am not old enough, nor tenacious enough, to pretend not to understand the main purport of your last letter; and to show you that I do, you may draw upon me for two hundred pounds, which, I hope, will more than clear you. Good-night: 'aquam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem': Be neither transported nor depressed by the accidents of life. BLACKHEATH, May 16, 1759
He drank one glass, and said: "Help me to my chair." And settled there before the fire with decanter and glass and hand-bell on the little low table by his side, he murmured: "Bring coffee, and my cigar, in twenty minutes." To-night he would do justice to his wine, not smoking till he had finished. As old Horace said: "Aequam memento rebus in arduis Servare mentem."
C. Quod in utramque partem in mentem multa veniebant, inasmuch as many considerations both for and against it came into my mind, magnum pondus accessit ad tollendam dubitationem, it came with great force to remove my hesitation. T. What do you mean by “accessit”? C. It means it contributed to turn the scale; accessit, it was an addition to one side.
Spinoza was the first great absolutist, and the impossibility of being intimate with his God is universally recognized. Quatenus infinitus est he is other than what he is quatenus humanam mentem constituit. Spinoza's philosophy has been rightly said to be worked by the word quatenus.
We must, in the great majority of cases, have the CORPUS SANEM if we want the MENTEM SANEM; and healthy bodies are the only trustworthy organs for healthy minds. Which is cause and which is effect, I shall not stay to debate here.
We need little doctrine to live at our ease; and Socrates teaches us that this is in us, and the way how to find it, and the manner how to use it: All our sufficiency which exceeds the natural is well-nigh superfluous and vain: 'tis much if it does not rather burden and cumber us than do us good: "Paucis opus est literis ad mentem bonam:"
