Many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my monies, and my usuances:
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.— William Shakespeare (1564–1616), The Merchant of Venice, Shylock, Act I, Scene III (1623)
I know that in its context the phrase takes on another meaning (very negative, I would say), , but taken alone it seems to be good. Isn't? – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 12:03, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Objects of delicious pleasures!

You my hands in rapture seize!
Brilliant wits and musing sages,
Lights who beamed through many ages!
Left to your conscious leaves their story,
And dared to trust you with their glory;
And now their hope of fame achieved,
Dear volumes! you have not deceived!

A reference to one of the mythological twin eggs of
Leda and
Zeus and also the title of a 1917 painting by
Paul Klee (1879–1940).
Ab ovo derives from:
1. nec gemino bellum Troianum orditur ab ouo ("do not begin the Trojan War from the double egg") by
Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65 BC–8 BC) in his
Ars Poetica (ca. 18 BC);
2. ab ovo usque ad mala ("from the egg to the apples") again by Horace in his
Satires, Satire 1.3: Omnibus hoc vitium est ("Everyone has this flaw") (ca. 35–33 BC), which refers to the order of dishes at a Roman banquet [from the beginning (eggs) to the end (apples or, more in general, fruit)].

Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel ... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man" — with his mouth. — Mark Twain

Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all.

Many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my monies, and my usuances:
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.— William Shakespeare (1564–1616), The Merchant of Venice, Shylock, Act I, Scene III (1623)

Objects of delicious pleasures!

Lights who beamed through many ages!
Left to your conscious leaves their story,
And dared to trust you with their glory;
And now their hope of fame achieved,
Dear volumes! you have not deceived!

A reference to one of the mythological twin eggs of
Leda and
Zeus and also the title of a 1917 painting by
Paul Klee (1879–1940).
Ab ovo derives from:
1. nec gemino bellum Troianum orditur ab ouo ("do not begin the Trojan War from the double egg") by
Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65 BC–8 BC) in his
Ars Poetica (ca. 18 BC);
2. ab ovo usque ad mala ("from the egg to the apples") again by Horace in his
Satires, Satire 1.3: Omnibus hoc vitium est ("Everyone has this flaw") (ca. 35–33 BC), which refers to the order of dishes at a Roman banquet [from the beginning (eggs) to the end (apples or, more in general, fruit)].

Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel ... And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man" — with his mouth. — Mark Twain

Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all.
