"We must get hold of that girl at all costs," H.V. Sevenning remarked to Shiel. "You say you feel sure she likes you. Work upon her feelings to show the Firm up." "I don't much like the idea of it," Shiel said, "but I suppose the end justifies the means." "Of course it does!" Sevenning retorted. "It's your only chance of saving Miss Martin."
'Gently, Papa: Abraham, I will not. 'My dear, but you must. 'And that man opposite. 'What, Pollingray? He's fifty. I found myself walking indignantly down the path. Even now I protest my friend was guilty of bad manners, though I make every allowance for him; I excuse, I pass the order; but why what justifies one man's bawling out another man's age? What purpose does it serve?
His duty was to see that his eggs, their eggs, hatched out; and with him the motto was: "The end justifies the means." This bird, this sea-rover, this big pirate, alone stood between him and the discharge of duty. There was no other way, no other food; he had searched. Wherefore, the raven stayed; he knew all about traps, few better, and he stayed, waiting, if it please you, for Cob to die!
'After all, as a pretty girl once said to me, 'women are a sex by themselves, so to speak, and the sharper the line between their worldly functions and ours, the better. This greater swiftness and less erring subtlety of mind, their forte and privilege, justifies the painted mask that Artifice bids them wear. Behind it their minds can play without let. They gain the strength of reserve.

Even did he happen to be in the state of mortal sin, there is every reason to believe that such charity as will sacrifice life for another, greater than which no man has, would wash away that sin and open the way of mercy; while great indeed must be the necessity of the dependent ones to require absolutely the death of another. The aggression that justifies killing must be unjust.
The published correspondence between the rebels Rust and Hunter fully justifies my confidence in Louis Napoleon's sound judgment. That publication clearly establishes how the press here is wholly unable to conceive or to comprehend the policy of the great European nations. The press heaps outrages and nurses suspicions against Napoleon.
Falkirk ties up all my power, and labels it "Edge tools," said Wych Hazel. 'I suppose it cuts its way out, and so justifies him. Don't you have your own way generally? 'Well, between taking it, and coaxing it out, and refusing to take any other, I do have it sometimes, said Wych Hazel. 'Is Mr. Falkirk much of an ogre? I do not know him. Difficult to manage? 'He thinks I am, said Wych Hazel.
But the poor Publican, alas for him! his fingers are not clean, nor can he tell how to make them so; besides, he meekly and quietly puts up with this reflection of the Pharisee upon him, and by silent behaviour justifies the severe sentence of that self-righteous man, concluding with him, that for his part he is wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked, and not worthy to come nigh, or to stand by, so good, so virtuous, so holy, and so deserving a man as our sparkling Pharisee is.
The animal must be humanized; flesh must be made spirit; physiological activity must be transmuted into intellect and conscience, into reason, justice, and generosity, as the torch is transmuted into life and warmth. The blind, greedy, selfish nature of man must put on beauty and nobleness. This heavenly alchemy is what justifies our presence on the earth: it is our mission and our glory.
