Being agreed on their policy, these would not want to make speeches, but would simply spend their time walking through the "Ayes" lobby. A few afternoons of pleasant promenading would provide the country with enough legislation for a lifetime. Solvitur ambulando.
The Romans infibulated their singers in order to preserve their voice: "Si gaudet cantu; nullius fibula durat Vocem vendentis prætoribus." They even subjected to the same operation most of their actors: "Solvitur his magno comœdi fibula. Sunt, quæ Chrysogonum cantare vetent." "Take from Chrysogonus the power to sing, Loose, at vast prices, the comedian's ring."
Solvitur quaerendo!" Jacks' behaviour did, in fact, appear to the Doctor a little odd. That the young man should hint at his desire to ask Miss Derwent to marry him, or perhaps ask the parental approval of such a step, was natural enough; the event had been looming since the beginning of the voyage home.
'And you are the man who was, five minutes ago, crying out for practical facts, and disdaining cold abstract necessities of logic! Can you prove that your body exists? 'No. 'Can you prove that your spirit exists? 'No. 'And yet know that they both exist. And how? 'Solvitur ambulando. 'Exactly. When you try to prove either of them without the other, you fail.
It was as though those who had insisted on the derivation of all forms of the steam- engine from the common kettle, and who saw that this stands in much the same relations to the engines, we will say, of the Great Eastern steamship as the amoeba to man, were to declare that the Great Eastern engines were not designed at all, on the ground that no one in the early kettle days had foreseen so great a future development, and were unable to understand that a piecemeal solvitur ambulando design is more omnipresent, all-seeing, and all-searching, and hence more truly in the strictest sense design, than any speculative leap of fancy, however bold and even at times successful.

Looking back now, I am inclined to treat myself tenderly. Whether I should have drunk the poison, if the accident had not occurred, I cannot say. At the moment of my rush I intended to do so.
Touch human society anywhere, it is rotten, it crumbles into a myriad notes of interrogation; the acid of analysis dissolves every ideal. Humanity only keeps alive and sound by going on in faith and hope, solvitur ambulando, if it sat down to ask questions, it would freeze like the traveller in the Polar regions. The world is saved by bad logic." "And by good feeling," added my friend the Poet.
Even so a step too small to take was left for Achilles when the tortoise had only just started. "Solvitur ambulando," said Philosophy, and a priori reasoning took a back place. Her constant inquiries about the date of Dave's cure and return were an added and grievous pain to her aunt and uncle.
"Telephus et Peleus, quum pauper et exsul uterque, Projicit ampullas et sesquipedalia verba"? Was this to prove that he recognized a wandering prince in his opponent? thought Malcolm; but, much on his guard, he made answer, as usual, in his native tongue. 'That which is not touched and held is but a vain and fleeting shadow "solvitur in nube."
"Oh, yes, with age we take a slackening hold upon events; we let all happenings go by more lightly; and we even concede the universe not to be under any actual bond to be intelligible.
