"He he didn't say much, Lilly. Kissed my hands. Told me to live beautifully and work endlessly.
“No,” said the farmer, “unless it is something very uncommon. It is better to go wrong sometimes, under a head, than to be endlessly talking and disputing how you shall go. Therefore you must do exactly what he says, even if you know a better way, and see if you do not get along much faster.” The New Plan Tried.
John's hold on the thin hands tightened. He stared long and thoughtfully at the snowflakes sifting endlessly past the window. "Lydia," he said, at last.

Beavers, under the same conditions, build the same kind of dams and lodges; and all beavers as a rule do the same. Instinct is uniform in its workings; it runs in a groove. Reason varies endlessly and makes endless mistakes. Men build various kinds of dams and in various kinds of places, with various kinds of material and for various kinds of uses.

Everyone listens breathlessly to the important message and it goes on and on. What on earth can it mean? Surely something awful has happened!" On and on it went endlessly.
