A light was visible, but he could hear no voices. Still, he knew he would find the occupants seated in the porch, held by that strange quiet which nature imposes on those who dwell much alone with her. He had not been to the cabin for several weeks, and when he spoke Easter did not return his greeting; Raines nodded almost surlily, but from the mother came, as always, a cordial welcome.
Either the lazy fellow does nothing at all and this is sloth; or he abstains from doing what he should do while otherwise busily occupied and this too, is sloth; or he does it poorly, negligently, half-heartedly and this again is sloth. Nature imposes upon us the law of labor. He who shirks in whole or in part is slothful.
This suggested peace, inspired by sympathy and by knowledge of the world, is the ideal, which borrows its value and practical force from the irrational impulses which it embodies, and borrows its final authority from the truth with which it recognises them all and the necessity by which it imposes on each such sacrifices as are requisite to a general harmony.
It is a system that requires written pleadings, originally very artificial in form and still somewhat so.

In either direction the distance was long, and the adobe soil is very tenacious when wet, and the wayfarer needs great strength to carry the load it imposes on the feet.
He was seeking himself through the mass of acquired feelings which education imposes on a child as second nature. He had only intuitions of his true being, until he should feel the passions of adolescence, which strip the personality of its borrowed garments as a thunder-clap purges the sky of the mists that hang over it.
Then the mental furrows are all open and mellow; sympathy falls like dew and rain; then the heart saith to its friend: "Here am I, all plastic to your touch; work upon me your will; for good or ill I am thine." Therefore, friendship imposes frightful responsibilities; in asking and receiving it we assume charge of another's destiny.
In 'amaurosis', the eye is beautifully clear, and, for a little while, this clearness imposes upon the casual observer; but there is a peculiar pellucid appearance about the eye a preternatural and unchanging brightness. In the horse, the sight occasionally returns, but I have never seen this in the dog. The occasional glittering of the eyes of the dog has been often observed.
