A noble contempt for deliberate wrong-doers
The well-established right of every citizen
Very intolerant of sin, but not vindictive
Neutrals think to tread on eggs and break none
Bait the hook well; the fish will bite. _Much Ado about Nothing_, II., 3
A sensibility as tender as it is refreshing
They exchanged mutual assurances of continued good-will
The secret of contented and fruitful living
The staple interests and occupations of the common life
Heaven and earth brought into strange accord
The spirit of brotherly kindness and concord
Cherishing a cordial good-will to all men
_Ad captandum vulgus_, for the sake of pleasing the crowd
_A posteriori_, from facts back to principles
_Argumentum ad hominem_, an appeal to interests rather than to reason
_Ex tempore_, on the impulse of the moment
_Gloria in excelsis_, Glory in the highest
_In articulo mortis_, at the point of death
_Ipso facto_, by virtue of that very fact
_Labor omnia vincit_, labor overcomes every difficulty
_Particeps criminis_, a sharer in the crime
_Requiescat in pace_, peace to his spirit
_Serus in cœlum redeas_, after living for a long time may you enter heaven
_Sine qua non_, an indispensable prerequisite
_Status quo_, the current situation the existing condition
_Vox populi est vox Dei_, the voice of the people is the voice of God
Altogether disinclined to the effort of exercise
He wants to be carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease
