'No man ever yet went to ruin by doing right, said Dr. Maryland. 'Many a one! said Mr. Falkirk, 'by doing what he thought right; from John Brown up to John Huss, and from John Huss back to the time when history is lost in a fog bank. 'They'll get their reward, I suppose, in the other world, said Prudentia comfortably.
Of course, there was always a protest. There is the famous Nullum numen habes si sit prudentia: nos te, Nos facimus, Fortuna, deam, taken by Juvenal from the Greek. She is worshipped with insults, counted as fickle and often as blind, wandering, inconsistent, elusive, changeful, and friend of the unworthy. . . . We are so much at the mercy of chance that Chance is our god.
'We have not heard of any wits lost in this way, all winter; and it is quite exciting. What next, Mrs. Coles? Prudentia laughed. 'How comes it he don't tell you himself? I thought you used to be such friends riding about everywhere.
You are in collusion with the people down at the Prudentia, and you are filling your own coffers in this gigantic swindle. From morning to night you enrich yourself with the hard-earned pennies of the poor. That is sharp practice, Jason Philip Schimmelweis, sharp practice, we say. Now you have got to sever all connection with the Prudentia, or the Party is going to kick you out.”
'Nullum numen abest, si sit prudentia, is unquestionably true, with regard to everything except poetry; and I am very sure that any man of common understanding may, by proper culture, care, attention, and labor, make himself whatever he pleases, except a good poet.

Rollo? The words half choked her, but she got them out. 'The will? don't you know? you must know! Is it true? 'What are you talking of, Hazel? Sit down, my dear. Prudentia? What has she been talking to you about? I hope 'My father's will, does she know? Hazel repeated. 'Your father's will? Prudentia? Has she been talking to you of that! My dear, that was not necessary.
With a mind that recoiled from anything like falsehood and injustice, he wanted prudence. And as, in the belief of the matter-of-fact Romans, no divinity is absent, if Prudentia be present, so it still seems that everything is wanting to a man, if he wants that.
In the center of the floor the Stewart arms are enameled in brass, showing a shield with a white and blue check, supported by the figures of a wild Briton and a lion. The crest is a pelican feeding its young, and the motto is "Prudentia et Constantia." These heraldic figures are made a special feature of the main aisle.
