But to say that he has no point of view whatever to say, in general, that modern classic art is perfunctory and mere formulary is to be guilty of what has always been the inherent vice of protestantism in all fields of mental activity. Nowhere has protestantism exhibited this defect more palpably than in the course of evolution of schools of painting.
In the old times he had never felt or believed that the slave was inherently endowed with the same rights as the master; and he did not see how the results of war could enhance his natural rights. He did not believe that the colored man had an inherent right to freedom or to self-government. Whatever right of that kind he might now have was simply by the free grace of the conqueror.
Monsieur Joseph can tell you of these difficulties, inherent in the making of books. Thus, you see, we are sensible; we have experience of all miseries, also of all trades, for we have studied Paris for many years. The Mongenods have helped us in this; they have been like torches to us.
What is pleasing to some men's taste is and ever will be displeasing to others. Taste is an inherent quality in our minds. We naturally possess tastes peculiar to ourselves, and no amount of culture can make these differing tastes agreeably harmonious. Some tastes revel in the gay, others in the grave, others in the changing.
There he learns that life is work and that work is the very quintessence of life. How should dividends on school investments be estimated? What are the inherent rights of childhood? What use may be made of play in the education of children? Explain why adults are often unwilling to coöperate through lack of opportunity to play in childhood.
In the history of his life in bondage, we find, well developed, that inherent and continuous energy of character which will ever render him distinguished. What his hand found to do, he did with his might; even while conscious that he was wronged out of his daily earnings, he worked, and worked hard.
Definiteness or indefiniteness of reference, number, personality as an inherent aspect of the verb, tense, not to speak of gender all these are given no expression in the Chinese sentence, which, for all that, is a perfectly adequate communication provided, of course, there is that context, that background of mutual understanding that is essential to the complete intelligibility of all speech.
"You call it a disease?" "In his case, I do. Brenton isn't after any working truth to help along the rest of us; he's started hunting the ignis fatuus of abstract verity, provable to its utmost limit. Taken as mental gymnastics, it is doubtless a fine exercise. Taken as a spiritual tonic to a lot of world-tired fellow mortals, I confess I doubt its inherent value." "You told him so?"
Bill Witt, true to his inherent optimism, toted out his old banjo. "Old Black Joe," he sang, and all the old familiar home songs. And then, while some of the braver spirits were singing he swung into "The Star Spangled Banner." Instantly every man was on his feet and standing at attention. Thus they stood until Bill picked his way through to "the home of the brave." Yes, the "home of the brave!"
His sentiments chimed in very well with mine; and what particularly delighted me in his work was, that I received a more favorable notion of many heretics, who had been hitherto represented to me as mad or impious. The spirit of contradiction and the love of paradoxes are inherent in us all.
