Security will produce danger. Johnson.
Securus judicat orbis terrarum—The world's judgment is unswayed by fear. St. Augustine.
Sed de me ut sileam—But to say nothing of myself. Ovid.
Sed nisi peccassem, quid tu concedere posses? / Materiam veniæ sors tibi nostra dedit—Had I not sinned, what had there been for thee to pardon? My fate has given thee the matter for mercy. Ovid.
Sed notat hunc omnis domus et vicinia tota, / 25 Introrsum turpem, speciosum pelle decora—But all his family and the entire neighbourhood regard him as inwardly base, and only showy outside. Hor.
Sed quum res hominum tanta caligine volvi / Adspicerem, lætosque diu florere nocentes, / Vexarique pios: rursus labefacta cadebat / Religio—When I beheld human affairs involved in such dense darkness, the guilty exulting in their prosperity, and pious men suffering wrong, what religion I had began to reel backward and fall. Claud.
Sed tu / Ingenio verbis concipe plura meis?—But do you of your own ingenuity take up more than my words? Ovid.
Sed vatem egregium cui non sit publica vena, / Qui nihil expositum soleat deducere, nec qui / Communi feriat carmen triviale moneta, / Hunc qualem nequeo monstrare, et sentio tantum, / Anxietate carens animus facit—A poet of superior merit, whose vein is of no vulgar kind, who never winds off anything trite, nor coins a trivial poem at the public mint, I cannot describe, but only recognise as a man whose soul is free from all anxiety. Juv.
See deep enough, and you see musically; the heart of Nature being everywhere music, if you can only reach it. Carlyle.
See how many things there are which a man 30 cannot do himself; and then it will appear that it was a sparing speech of the ancients to say, "that a friend is another himself;" for that a friend is far more than himself. Bacon.
