The motto I have adopted justifies my digressions, and all the commentaries, perhaps too numerous, in which I indulge upon my various exploits: 'Nequidquam sapit qui sibi non sapit'. For the same reason I have always felt a great desire to receive praise and applause from polite society: 'Excitat auditor stadium, laudataque virtus Crescit, et immensum gloria calcar habet.
"Faciem tuam summo imperio principatu dignam inspicit, quam moralis et heroica, virtus illustrat," etc.
Mortoos en iaceo, morte extingovinior honores; At virtus, morte nescia, morte viret. A voussure ornamented with sculptures, as remarkable for their good taste as for the richness of their ornaments, supports an attic, where we find the statues of the twelve apostles, two and two, in elegant niches separated by pilasters.
Apud quosdam acerbior in conviciis narrabatur; ut erat comis bonis, adversus malos injucundus: ceterum ex iracundia nihil supererat; secretum et silentium ejus non timeres: honestius putabat offendere, quam odisse. XXIII. Quarta aestas obtinendis, quae percurrerat, insumpta: ac, si virtus exercituum et Romani nominis gloria pateretur, inventus in ipsa Britannia terminus.
The tent of Romulus was burned as a result of some ritual which the pontifices were performing in it; a statue of Virtus, standing before some of the gates, fell upon its face; and certain persons rendered inspired by the Mother of the Gods declared that the goddess was angry with them.

G. 6, note. Incuriosa suorum. So Ann. 2, 88: dum vetera extollimus, recentium incuriosi. Incuriosus is post-Augustan. Virtus vicit vitium. Alliteration, which is not unfrequent in T. as also homoeoteleuta, words ending with like sounds. Dr. Ignorantiam invidiam. In aperto. Literally, in the open field or way; hence, free from obstructions. Sal. But that sense would be inappropriate here. Easy.
Non sic itur ad astra. Self-indulgence and exclusiveness can only be a proof of weakness. It may accompany talent, but it proves that talent to be partial and defective. The brain may be large, but the manhood, the "virtus," is small, where such things are allowed, much more where they are gloried in. A poet such a man may be, but a world poet never.
'I feel humbled when I look at his limbs, replied, at the left of Sosia, a slighter and younger figure, with his arms folded on his breast. The slave looked first at one, and then at the other. 'Virtus in medio! virtue is ever in the middle! muttered he to himself; 'a goodly neighborhood for thee, Sosia a gladiator on each side!
Mihi a docto doctore, Demandatur causam et rationem quare Opium facit dormire. A quoi respondeo, Quia est in eo Virtus dormitiva, Cujus est natura Sensus assoupire. The words Nature and Essence are grand instruments of this mode of begging the question, as in the well-known argument of the scholastic theologians, that the mind thinks always, because the essence of the mind is to think.
Enough, however the world grew older, and the dream vanished. A time came when people rubbed their foreheads, and they still rub them today. People had been dreaming, and first and foremost old Kant. But, is that an answer? An explanation? Or is it not rather merely a repetition of the question? How does opium induce sleep? Quia est in eo virtus dormitiva, Cujus est natura sensus assoupire.
