Discite justitiam moniti, et non temnere divos—Warned by me, learn justice, and not to despise the gods. Virg.
Discit enim citius, meminitque libentius illud / Quod quis deridet quam quod probat et veneratur—Each learns more readily, and retains more willingly, what makes him laugh than what he approves of and respects. Hor.
Discontent is like ink poured into water, which 55 fills the whole fountain full of blackness. It casts a cloud over the mind, and renders it more occupied about the evil which disquiets it than about the means of removing it. Feltham.
Discontent is the want of self-reliance; it is infirmity of will. Emerson.
Discontent makes us to lose what we have; contentment gets us what we want. Fretting never removed a cross nor procured a comfort; quiet submission doth both. Jacomb.
Discontents are sometimes the better part of our life. Feltham.
Discord oft in music makes the sweeter lay. Spenser.
Discreet women have neither eyes nor ears. 5 Fr. Pr.
Discrepant facta cum dictis—The facts don't agree with the statements. Cic.
Discretion / And hard valour are the twins of honour, / And, nursed together, make a conqueror; / Divided, but a talker. Beaumont and Fletcher.
