"Recte si possis si non quocunque modo," said Somers, the head of the school, whose fag Walter was, and who, passing by at the moment, caught the last sentence; "what is the excitement among you small boys?"
But the lesson which the example of Tazewell presents to the American mind is of yet greater significancy. If there be one unpleasant trait more revolting than another in our national character, it is the inordinate pursuit of wealth: rem, quocunque modo rem. To get money is the first lesson of childhood, the engrossing purpose of middle age, and the harassing employment of declining years.
It is enough that they mean to denote even a very small possession, provided it be a man's own: 'Est aliquid quocunque loco quocunque recessu, Unius sese dominum fecisse lacertæ .

Thoroughly unscrupulous as to ways and means, and simply acting on the phrase "quocunque modo rem," he seemed to have neither conscience of evil, nor dread of danger. In two words, he was a "bold bad" man, divested equally of fear and feeling.
The "Rem, si possis recte, si non, quocunque modo," was whispered into the ear in a club smoking-room, and the whisperer intended that his words should prevail.
"You might as well come along o' me for a change," said he to Willoughby. "We'll git on grand together. Come on; you won't be sorry after." "Quocunque trahunt fata sequamur," rejoined Willoughby, bowing gaily to me.
