Money he has poured out like water; he is probably the only important official in China who will leave office a poor man. Acting as private secretary to the Viceroy is a clever Chinese named Kaw Hong Beng, the author of Defensio Populi, that often-quoted attack upon missionary methods which appeared first in The North China Daily News.
Notably such a one is the often-quoted Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. Paradise Lost, i. 263. which is Vondel's En liever d'eerste Vorst in eenigh lager hof Dan in't gezalight licht de tweede, of noch een minder! But it is in the sixth book only in which anything more than a verbal similarity is traceable. According to Mr.
Of Thomas Ellwood's experience as reader to Milton, and of Milton's regard for the gentle Quaker, the book tells its own tale. I will only add one comment upon an often-quoted incident that it contains.
Perhaps what strikes one most in the study of Horace, which means the study of the Augustan age, is the vivid contrast between the man who composed the Carmen Sæculare, the sacred hymn sung on the Tenth anniversary of Augustus' accession to the imperial power, besides many odes that breathe a pristine reverence for the gods, and, on the other hand, the writer of satirical, playfully sceptical verses, who comments on the story of the incense melting without fire at the temple of Egnatia, with the famous and often-quoted 'Credat Judæus'! The original Romans had been a believing people, most careful in all ceremonies and observances, visiting anything like sacrilege with a cool ferocity worthy of the Christian religious wars in later days.
Such writers fall back on the reflection that the actual choice of President is decided not by excited conventions, but by voters coming straight from the untroubled sanctuary of the American home. President Garfield illustrated this point of view in an often-quoted passage of his speech to the Republican Convention of 1880:

There were, as Colquhoun asserts in an often-quoted passage, 20,000 people in it, who got up every morning without knowing how they would get through the day. There were 5000 public-houses, and 50,000 women supported, wholly or partly, by prostitution. The revenues raised by crime amounted, as he calculates, to an annual sum of, £2,000,000.
This often-quoted sentence embodies perhaps the main feature of Edmund Kean's greatness as an actor; for, when he was impersonating the heroes of our poet, he revealed their natures by an instant flash of light so searching that every minute feature, which by the ordinary light of day was hardly visible, stood bright and clear before you.
His often-quoted exhortation, 'Acquaint thyself with God, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee, is, in his meaning of it, an undisguised appeal to purely selfish considerations, and its promise is not in accordance with facts.
And so, in the often-quoted words of old Fuller, "as the Swift bear them into the Severn, and the Severn into the narrow seas, and they again into the ocean, thus the ashes of Wycliffe is an emblem of his doctrine, which is now dispersed all over the world." But it is with his Bible translation that we are specially concerned.
