Thanking each and all who have aided in any way to give my writings to the world, I am, in love and fraternal greetings, ever yours. Omnia Vincit Veritas. What study is more sublime, inspiring and profitable, in the highest sense, than the "language of the stars" those silent monitors of the midnight sky, who reveal HIS WILL as secondary causes in the administration of universal law?
My hospitable friend, Mr. William Hinton, is the only islander who works sugar successfully at the Torreao. The large rival mill with the tall regulation smoke-stack near the left mouth of the Ribeira de Sao' Joao, though inscribed 'Omnia vincit improbus labor, and though provided with the most expensive modern appliances, is understood not to be a success for the Companhia Fabril d'Assucar.
It matters not what talent or genius a man may possess, no natural gift can compensate for hard, persistent toil. The Romans had a maxim as true to-day as it was when first uttered: "Labor omnia vincit," Toil conquers all things. The earliest Christians lived in communities and had all things in common.
The fact thus ascertained, in opposition to the expectation of those who favoured the orphan, was viewed by the court as depriving, to a great extent, the case of that aspect of a riddle by which it had been so unfortunately distinguished; and as the case had been hung up even beyond the time generally occupied by cases at that period, when, as it was sometimes remarked, law-suits were as often settled by the old rule, Romanus sedendo vincit by the death of one or other of the parties as by a judgment, the case was again put to the Roll for a hearing on the effect of the new evidence.
Let biographers, novelists, and the rest of us groan as we may under the burdens which we so often feel too heavy for our shoulders; we must either bear them up like men, or own ourselves too weak for the work we have undertaken. There is no way of writing well and also of writing easily. Labor omnia vincit improbus.
His radiant and beneficent career resembled that of the god of light and fertility. "Nitor in adversum; nec me, qui caetera, vincit Impetus, et rapido contrarius evehor orbi." It is to be regretted that the prose writings of Milton should, in our time, be so little read.
She would read too, in her psalter or in such saints' lives as the convent possessed, written in French or English; for her Latin was weak, though she could construe Amor vincit omnia.
I stopped in the street, and listened to the Dominie in continuation "But, fair maiden, omnia vincit amor here am I, Dominie Dobbs, who have long passed the grand climacteric, and can already muster three score years who have authority over seventy boys, being Magister Princeps et Dux of Brentford Grammar School who have affectioned only the sciences, and communed only with the classics who have ever turned a deaf ear to the allurements of thy sex, and ever hardened my heart to thy fascination here am I, even I, Dominie Dobbs, suing at the feet of a maiden who had barely ripened into womanhood, who knoweth not to read or write, and whose father earns his bread by manual labour.
Ful fetis was hir cloke, as I was war. Of smal coral aboute hir arm she bar A peire of bedes, gauded al with grene; And ther-on heng a broche of gold ful shene, On which ther was first write a crowned A, And after, Amor vincit omnia! Prologue to the Canterbury Tales
In Alost, the Catherinists claimed to have existed as early as 1107, on the mere strength of their motto, AMOR VINCIT. At any rate, we are left entirely to conjecture with regard to the first beginnings of these literary guilds, which seem in many respects an imitation of the poetical societies of Provence. Every poet of note was a participant in them.
