Other-wise our power would not be believed in. No, my little Aglaia, all our Godchildren start from the point you spoke of 'caeteris paribus, as those dingy black lawyers say all other things being equal it is a question now of bestowing extra superfine Fairy gifts."
The more money lying idle the less, caeteris paribus, is the dividend; the less money lying idle the greater is the dividend. And at almost every meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of England, there is a conversation on this subject. Some proprietor says that he does not see why so much money is kept idle, and hints that the dividend ought to be more.
"I want an odd man about the place." "I'm odd, all right. What's your wages?" "Not much, but you get tips and pickings. I've a sort of feeling it would suit you." "I've a sort of feeling it would. What's the duties? Fetch and carry? Ferry? Garden? Wash bottles? Ceteris paribus?" "That's about it," said the fat woman. "Give me a trial." "I've more than half a mind.
It cannot be developed in its fulness late in life. Aunt M'riar's protest was feeble in the extreme. "Well, I should be ashamed to let a lady carry me! That I should!" If Aunt M'riar had known the resources of the Latin tongue, she might have introduced the expression ceteris paribus. No English can compass that amount of slickness; so her speech was left crude.
He is a loyal subject of Henri Quatre, who said that he only wanted every Frenchman to have a chicken in his pot on Sunday; except, of course, that he would call the repast cannibalism. But cæteris paribus he thinks more of that chicken than of the eagle of the universal empire; and he is always ready to support the grass against the laurel.

In the one case, a larger quantity of light is captured and concentrated; in the other, the same amount is distributed over a wider area. A diminution of brilliancy in the image accordingly attends, coeteris paribus, upon each augmentation of its apparent size.
Suffering which falls to our lot in the course of nature, or by chance, or fate, does not, ceteris paribus, seem so painful as suffering which is inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another. This is because we look upon nature and chance as the fundamental masters of the world; we see that the blow we received from them might just as well have fallen on another.
The reason why towns exist, is that ceteris paribus it is convenient, in order to save cost of carriage, that the production of commodities should take place as far as practicable in the immediate vicinity of the consumer.
The furniture men reinforced the two figures on the path, and advanced, spreading generously. "Hadn't we better warn them up-stairs?" I suggested: "No. I'll die first!" said Jimmy. "I'm pretty near it now. Besides, they called me names." I turned from the Artist to the Administrator. "Coeteris paribus, I think we'd better be going," said Penfentenyou, dealer in crises.
And yet, ceteris paribus, the Union produces great men and great minds; and if any thing but dollars was paid attention to, the literature of America would soon be upon a par with that of the Old World; as it is, it pays better to reprint French and English authors than to tax the brains of the natives.
