No. 69. Fereoe libenter homines id quod volunt credunt. Men willingly believe what they wish to be true. TULLY has long ago observed, that no man, however weakened by long life, is so conscious of his own decrepitude, as not to imagine that he may yet hold his station in the world for another year.
Gregory VII sanctioned the formation of an Order, but Stephen and his first followers called themselves simply boni homines.
The Romans give three: "Bis duo sunt homines, manes, caro, spiritus, umbra." The same belief is found among nearly all savages. The Fijians distinguish between the spirit which is buried with the dead man and that more ethereal spirit which is reflected in the water and lingers near the place where he died.
In the fifteenth year of Edward IV. the Common Council enacted, that the masters, wardens, and probi homines of the several mysteries should repair to the Guildhall in their last liveries, for the purpose of electing the Lord Mayor, sheriffs, and other civic officers; and that the members of the Common Council should be the only other persons present.
My brother mused upon this revery, and, in a few days, published an extract from some scoundrel's travels in Gombroon, according to which the Gombroonians had not yet emerged from this early condition of apedom. They, it seems, were still homines caudati. Overwhelming to me and stunning was the ignominy of this horrible discovery.
IMPELLERET: sc. homines; so nos is omitted after iubebat below. EXCITARI: 'stirred up'. In 39 and 41 we have the verb in-citare; for the difference between the two verbs cf. Qu. Fr. 1, 1, 45 haec non eo dicuntur, ut te oratio mea dormientem excitasse, sed potius ut currentem incitasse videatur. HOMINI ... DEDISSET: cf. Acad. 1, 7 nec ullum arbitror maius aut melius a dis datum munus homini.
Cicero represents them as homines doctissimos as early as 60 B.C., and though in his tirade against Piso ten years before Vergil's adhesion to the school he must needs cast some slurs at Piso's teacher, he is careful to compliment both his learning and his poetry.
"The wisdom of the law," continued the sheriff, "has chosen this last hour to hold what our ancestors called 'judgment by mortal cold, seeing that it is the moment when men are believed on their yes or their no." The serjeant on the right confirmed his words. "Judicium pro frodmortell, quod homines credendi sint per suum ya et per suum no.
Nil habet infelix paupertas durius in se, Quam quod ridiculos homines facit: but rather a busy-loving courtier; a heartless threatening Thraso; a self-wise-seeming schoolmaster; an awry-transformed traveller?
The same view was revived by a Latin writer of 1595, on the thesis "Mulieres non homines esse," a French translation of which essay was printed under the title of "Paradoxe sur les femmes," in 1766. Napoleon Bonaparte used the same image, carrying it almost as far: "Woman is given to man that she may bear children.
