Nulla Poena Sine Praevia Lege Poenali

Famous quotes containing the words nulla and/or sine:

    The vulgar look upon a man, who is reckoned a fine speaker, as a phenomenon, a supernatural being, and endowed with some peculiar gift of Heaven; they stare at him, if he walks in the park, and cry, that is he. You will, I am sure, view him in a juster light, and nulla formidine. You will consider him only as a man of good sense, who adorns common thoughts with the graces of elocution, and the elegancy of style. The miracle will then cease.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Hamm as stated, and Clov as stated, together as stated, nec tecum nec sine te, in such a place, and in such a world, that’s all I can manage, more than I could.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
