Cato loved to make money and knew very well how to do it, as his own treatise on agriculture plainly shows; but he wished to do it in a legitimate way, and to spend profitably the money he made, and he spared no pains to prevent others from making it illegally and spending it unprofitably.
He returned to Pisa, and at the age of seventy was summoned to Rome by the Inquisition, and required to renounce his doctrines relative to the Copernican system, of which he was a zealous defender, and his life was spared only on condition of his abjuring his opinions.
She remembered Felipe, whom she had not spared one pang Felipe, at whom she had only stared in scorn when he wept and wrung his hands before her.

Every minute element which could in anyway affect the problem was carefully noted and studied, and two college men devoted about three months to the experiments.
