No doubt much toil is involved, and fatigue of which travellers in the more temperate climes can form but a faint conception; but the sweat of one's brow is no longer a curse when one works for God: it proves a tonic to the system, and is actually a blessing. No one can truly appreciate the charm of repose unless he has undergone severe exertion. 27th March, 1866.
It seemed to be a new word. He had not heard it for many months. He laughed. "Haven't got any, thank God! If you knew what it was to hunch a horrible canvas sausage of kit about, you'd appreciate feeling free." "It's a mercy you've got Peddle," said Peggy. "He has been at the Deanery fixing things up for you for the last two days." "I wonder if I shall be able to live up to Peddle," said Doggie.
But under the joy of hearing him talk as I had never really heard him since I was old enough to appreciate his scintillating delicious choice of words and phrases, I was hot and sore at the thought of my duty to render gratitude where gratitude was due for having him like that. "It will be perfectly wonderful, father, and Nickols had not worked it out to anything like that completeness.
By confining the latter within artificial limits, and by delivering, as it were, into my hands a scale by which to appreciate them, he naturally exalts and perplexes my ideas of the former. How many suspicions he precludes by this single contrivance! How many methods of accounting for his miracles, which afterwards have occurred to me, does he refute beforehand!"

Some time you will know whether I care for you or not; whether I've got anything in me, and am capable of acting like a man. You wait and see.
They must be prepared for it by instruction in the precepts of religion, by education, and by the reception of those principles of self- reliance, without which they have not the moral perception requisite to enable them to appreciate the blessings of freedom; and this very ignorance and obtuseness is one of the most telling arguments against the system which produces it.
A quiet life is more wholesome and infinitely more contenting than anything society can offer." "For a time, perhaps; but it would become dull and monotonous, I should think." "Never, if you have the mind to appreciate it. The companionship I value will always come to me. I do not need to seek it in the world." "You are fortunate," said Mrs Jefferson, somewhat sarcastically.
From that day Tom Fuller took a place in Mellen's esteem which he had never held before; his gratitude was unbounded, and as he learned to know and appreciate the young man, he found a thousand noble qualities to admire under that rugged exterior.
And when we were a mile out of the village Henry opened his second box and found his original franc in it. The boy's mother was ashamed that he should have taken any money for a box of matches, and had made him bring back the money with another box to show how much the French appreciate the Americans coming to France. We met many instances like that.
One has to ascend the Woolworth Building to appreciate at a blow with what discretion the original settlers of New York made their choice.
