He had no taste, he proceeded with one of his chilly sneers, for that new science which was styled the tactics of great assemblies; it was too like intrigue. Nothing but truth and reason ought to reign in a legislature. He did not like the idea of clever men becoming dominant by skilful tactics, and then perpetuating their empire from one assembly to another.
Such a system, by creating and perpetuating arbitrary and yet almost impassable lines of social cleavage, must be fatal to the development of a robust body politic which can only be produced by the reasonable intermingling and healthy fusion of the different classes of the community.
Such generous offers, whether coupled with the condition of perpetuating the donor's name with that of the library, or leaving the gift unhampered, so that the library may bear the name of the town or city of its location, have generally been accepted by municipal bodies, or by popular vote.
The exercise of this power can be justified here only on the ground that it is indispensable as a means of preserving and perpetuating the undemocratic character of the Constitution. The sovereign people after a time conquers the other powers, but this Supreme Court almost always remains beyond its reach.
One possessed of wisdom should wed a maiden born in a high family, endued with auspicious indications, and of full age. Begetting children upon her and thus perpetuating one's race by that means, one should make over one's sons to a good preceptor for acquiring general knowledge, O Bharata, as also a knowledge of the especial customs of the family, O monarch.
These Norman lords held lands in Norfolk, in the time of William Rufus, and have had, in one line or another, representatives down to the present day.

This feeling has found frequent expression in the forcible utterances of Sir Wilfrid, the late Premier of the Dominion. No doubt the influence of the Roman Catholic priesthood has had much to do with perpetuating the connexion with England. They feel that it is not by a connexion with France or the United States that their religious and civil institutions can be best conserved.
What monstrous mind ever conceived such an idea? Just as well say that health can be promoted by a widespread contagion. Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate, And the Warder is Despair. Society goes on perpetuating this poisonous air, not realizing that out of it can come naught but the most poisonous results.
I have corrected it in the charts, and have availed myself of the opportunity thus afforded me of perpetuating, as far as I can, the name of an inestimable companion in Captain Barker himself. Immediately below the point on which they stood, Mr. Kent says, a low undulating country extended to the northward, as far as he could see.
Those men who do not pour libations on the blazing fire find that the fire, when they do ignite it for such rites as they wish to perform, refuses to eat their libations . Those men who drink the milk of kine whose calves are very young, never get children for perpetuating their races. Such men see their children die and their races shrink.
