Wisdom, though I admit, not without help from another quarter. It is all very well for you to sit in your armchair and be sapient and turn up your learned nose, like the gentlemen who criticise plays and poems, an easy job compared to the writing of them. From all of which, however, you will understand that I am, to tell the truth, rather ashamed of what followed, since qui s'excuse, s'accuse.
He would either answer me with a lie, or refuse to answer at all, qui s'excuse s'accuse. I resolved to go on, and see what came of it. Don Simon would no doubt be able to enlighten me. I found the place without difficulty.
The boon companion, who her strong breastplate Buckles on him that feels no guilt within, And bids him on and fear not." Dante, c. xxviii. "Qui s'excuse s'accuse." "If a character can't defend itself, it's not worth defending." "No one was ever written down, except by himself."
Once, when the attack was particularly atrocious, and the average citizen might well be excused if he believed that Jefferson wrote it, Jefferson, unmindful of the full bearing of the French proverb, Qui s'excuse s'accuse, wrote to Washington exculpating himself and protesting that he was not the author of that particular attack, and added that he had never written any article of that kind for the press.
Her eyes were stony, and as she advanced up the room she sniffed the air disgustedly, her fine nostrils quivering. Suzette's pungent perfume was no doubt still present to one coming from outside! Hauteur, contempt and disgust, expressed themselves in my little darling's blue eyes. There was nothing to be said qui s'excuse s'accuse !
He wants to be told without asking told, I mean, that each of the stories, those that have come to him, is a fraud and a libel. Qui s'excuse s'accuse, don't they say? so that do you see me breaking out to him, unprovoked, with four or five what-do-you-call-'ems, the things mother used to have to prove in court, a set of neat little 'alibis' in a row?
Is it not time to discard such error, or must the nations always suspect each other? To finish with our introduction, and notwithstanding that qui s'excuse s'accuse, the biographer may be permitted to say a few words on his own behalf.
"Qui s'excuse s'accuse" is applicable in this as well as in other ruses for hiding those sinister Bond aims and to pose as the guileless and victimized Boer nation. It was just the other way about it was England who was unprepared and exposed to imminent risk of aggression on the part of the Boer combination.
Not as if you were a giddy suffragette!" "Qui s'excuse s'accuse!" she retorted. "Anyway I'm the winner." "Right you are. The way of girls was ever so. No matter what line you take, it's safe to be the wrong one." "Hark at the Cynic!" jeered young Cuthbert. "Were you forty on the 9th, or was it forty-five?" Roy grinned. "Good old Cuthers! Don't exhaust yourself trying to be funny!
Qui s'excuse, s'accuse; and unless a matter can hold its own without the brag and self-assertion of continual demonstration, it is still more or less of a parvenu, which we shall not lose much by neglecting till it has less occasion to blow its own trumpet.
