Amongst the pageantry of the Pontic triumph, a tablet with this inscription was carried before him: I CAME, I SAW, I CONQUERED ; not signifying, as other mottos on the like occasion, what was done, so much as the dispatch with which it was done.
I saw the wide corridors, with their mosaic pavement; I entered the grand dining-room, keeping timidly near the friend to whose kindness I owed this wonderful favor; I saw again the mirror-lined walls, the evergreen decked ceilings, the festoons and mottos, the tables gleaming with cutglass and silver, the buffets with wines and fruits, the brigade of sleek, black, white-aproned waiters, headed by one who had presence enough for a major General.
I find that Mrs. Pierce's little girl is my Valentine, she having drawn me; which I was not sorry for, it easing me of something more that I must have given to others. But here I do first observe the fashion of drawing of mottos as well as names; so that Pierce, who drew my wife, did draw also a motto, and this girl drew another for me.
THAT monstrous iniquity must come down; but the medical schools and your Irishmen block out our movement. "I wonder how you and Mr. Kingsley look on Mr. Gladstone. Two mottos, or say three, suffice me: "The Lord reigneth. "The righteous Lord loveth righteousness. "The Lord requireth Justice, Mercy, and Sobriety of thought, not ceremony or creed. "Accept for all of you my warm wishes.
The translation of the mottos and Latin quotations, which Steele and Addison deliberately abstained from giving, and which, as they were since added, impede and sometimes confound and contradict the text, are here placed in a body at the end, for those who want them.
Its cause is altogether a material one. Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world, the mottos of which are: "To take is more blessed than to give"; "buy cheap and sell dear"; "one soiled hand washes the other." There is no hope even that woman, with her right to vote, will ever purify politics.
Although canting heraldry is generally reprobated, it seems nevertheless to have been adopted in the arms and mottos of many honourable families. Thus the motto of the Vernons, Ver non semper viret, is a perfect pun, and so is that of the Onslows, Festina lente. The Periissem ni per-iissem of the Anstruthers is liable to a similar objection.
Around the picture a number of appropriate Latin mottos were arranged, of which I give one or two as specimens of the style of adulation adopted: "Come, O youth, raise up the glad voice, behold, the supreme shepherd is present, blessing his children with the light of his countenance.
The composition of inscriptions, of the subjects of medals, and their mottos, the research of the manners, habits, customs, and monuments of antiquity, as well as all literature relating to history. Academy of Painting and Sculpture. Academy of Architecture. The titles of these are a sufficient explanation.
But even after recreation, with that day's lessons safely out, punished and expiated, Pupasse's doom seemed scarcely lightened; there was still a whole criminal code of conduct to infract. The only difference was that instead of books, slates, or copy-books, leathern medals, bearing various legends and mottos, were hung around her neck a travestied decoration worse than the books for humiliation.
