Cicero De Divin i

[“‘Tis less wonder, what men practise, think, care for, see, and do when waking, (should also run in their heads and disturb them when they are asleep) and which affect their feelings, if they happen to any in sleep.”—Attius, cited in Cicero, De Divin., i. 22.]

Cicero De Divin i

Whereupon, he had a mind, for the jest’s sake, to show them to the contrary; and having, for this occasion, made a muster of all his wits, wholly to employ them in the service of profit and gain, he set a traffic on foot, which in one year brought him in so great riches, that the most experienced in that trade could hardly in their whole lives, with all their industry, have raked so much together.—[Diogenes Laertius, Life of Thales, i. 26; Cicero, De Divin., i. 49.]—That which Aristotle reports of some who called both him and Anaxagoras, and others of their profession, wise but not prudent, in not applying their study to more profitable things—though I do not well digest this verbal distinction—that will not, however, serve to excuse my pedants, for to see the low and necessitous fortune wherewith they are content, we have rather reason to pronounce that they are neither wise nor prudent.

Cicero De Divin ii

This double body and several limbs relating to one head might be interpreted a favourable prognostic to the king,—[Henry III.]—of maintaining these various parts of our state under the union of his laws; but lest the event should prove otherwise, ‘tis better to let it alone, for in things already past there needs no divination, “Ut quum facts sunt, tum ad conjecturam aliqui interpretatione revocentur;” [“So as when they are come to pass, they may then by some interpretation be recalled to conjecture” —Cicero, De Divin., ii. 31.]

cannot deny Did I

That you cannot deny!” “Did I know, for instance, that he was to be there?” “You ought to have known it!” “How, if I wasn’t even acquainted with him?” “You ought to have been acquainted with him!” “But, Tinchang, if it was the first time I had ever seen him or heard him spoken of?” “You ought to have seen him before, you ought to have heard him spoken of; that’s what you are a man for!

C duodecimpunctatus differing in

The larvæ of a small beetle ( Clytra longimana ) reside in oviform cases apparently of a calcareous or earthy substance, joined by a gummy cement and covered with red hairs, the origin of which, Hübner, who first discovered them, could not account for: and from the observations of Amstein and the French translator of Fuessly's Archives , it seems probable that the larvæ of all the species of Clytra , and according to Zschorn, at least of one species of Cryptocephalus, ( C. duodecimpunctatus ) differing in this respect from all other known Coleoptera , live in moveable cases [804] .
