The filling must be of one pale tint, either an ivory white or lemon yellow, or a very pale spring green woven over all. This would modify the violence of colour, giving an effect like hoar frost over autumn leaves.
I have sat with them in the Union Committee, for three years, and they have always taken great pleasure in negotiating with us, so long as we acceded to their demands». The Swedish government contradicted it, however, in their last letter, and offered to modify their proposition if it were proved that it exceeded the terms of the Communiqué.
Account for the two different standards of conduct. Indicate how social influences modify the character of children. How do examples of the use of tobacco and liquor affect children? Compare example and precept. Why must a democratic form of government develop its ideals slowly? Why is community government frequently inefficient? What per cent, of the population usually "sets the moral pace?"
Besides that initial intuition that shows opportune business and moments, commercial imagination presupposes a well-studied, detailed campaign for attack and defense, a rapid and reliable glance at every moment of execution in order to incessantly modify this plan it is a kind of war. All this totality of special conditions results from a general condition, namely, competition, strife.
"Need always occasioned by the circumstances in which an animal is placed, and followed by sustained efforts at gratification can not only modify an organ that is to say, augment or reduce it but can change its position when the case requires its removal. "Ocean fishes have occasion to see what is on either side of them, and have their eyes accordingly placed on either side of their head.
But it has nothing to do with memory; on the contrary, it is just because the clerk has no memory that his action of the second day so exactly resembles that of the first. As long as he has no power of recollecting, he will day after day repeat the same actions in exactly the same way, until some external circumstances, such as his being sent away, modify the situation.
But talents differ much in this of power to be silent; and circumstances, of position, opportunity and such like, modify them still more; and Nature's monitions, oftenest quite drowned in foreign hearsays, are by no means the only ones listened to in deciding!
When the Imagination frames a comparison, if it does not strike on the first presentation, a sense of the truth of the likeness, from the moment that it is perceived, grows and continues to grow upon the mind; the resemblance depending less upon outline of form and feature, than upon expression and effect; less upon casual and outstanding, than upon inherent and internal, properties: moreover, the images invariably modify each other.
Lady Mary Fenwick had hitherto stood silent a step or two behind Wilton; but now advancing a little, she said, "Indeed, Sir John, you had better think of it. It seems to me that what Mr. Brown says is reasonable, and that it would be much better so to state or modify your charge against the Duke as not to hazard his life."
But as experience broadens we may modify that statement; for strange indeed are runs of luck. For this reason a good deal of the wise conclusion we read in sportsmen's narratives is worth very little. Few men have experience enough with lions to rise to averages through the possibilities of luck. ESPECIALLY is this true of lions. No beast that roams seems to go more by luck than felis leo.
