Like all fathers of large families, the Emperor has been more than once heard to complain that he finds it difficult to make both ends meet. The Emperor's staff of adjutants are exceptionally useful and important people. At their head is the chief of the Emperor's Military Cabinet.
Whenever he finds a bright thing in your manuscript he strikes it out with that. That does him good, and makes him smile and show his teeth, the way he is doing in the picture. This one has just been striking out a smart thing, and now he is sitting there with his thumbs in his vest-holes, gloating. They are full of envy and malice, editors are.
Belloc finds a sharp example of such a contrast in the struggle between Rome and Carthage. The army which Hannibal led recognized the voice of a Carthaginian genius, but it was not Carthaginian. It was not levied, it was paid.
He who does not rouse himself when it is time to rise, who, though young and strong, is full of sloth, whose will and thought are weak, that lazy and idle man never finds the way to knowledge. Watching his speech, well restrained in mind, let a man never commit any wrong with his body! Let a man but keep these three roads of action clear, and he will achieve the way which is taught by the wise.
The whole import of the universe is directed to one man, to you. His anthropomorphism is not a projection of himself into nature, but an absorption of nature in himself. The tables are turned.

When a man has finished building his house, he finds that he has learnt unawares something which he OUGHT absolutely to have known before he began to build. The eternal, fatal "Too late!" The melancholia of everything COMPLETED ! Wanderer, who art thou?
Bassett had deceived him and was trying to use him. But in view of Mr. Bassett's many kindnesses to him he wouldn't make a personal matter of it in the House. Dan's opposition was based on legal defects in that bill, points that were over the heads of most of the legislators, but he is now determined to keep up the fight. He finds that Mr.
He invests virtue, however lowly, with the dignity that belongs to it. He rewards merit, however obscure, with its due honour. Whatever is true or beautiful or good, finds from him an immediate sympathy. The true is never rejected by him because it is commonplace; nor the beautiful because it is everyday; nor the good because it is not also great.
