But it was a main and important influence. The origins of the Zodiac are obscure; we do not know with any certainty the reasons why the various names were given to its component sections, nor can we measure the exact antiquity of these names; but pre-supposing the names of the signs as once given it is not difficult to imagine the growth of legends connected with the Sun's course among them.
Had I bothered you with all my troubles you would, I respectfully submit, realize that your proposal is not simple but extraordinarily complicated, even pre-supposing seraphic dispositions on either side.

German Democrats have never denounced the bearing of arms; they have admitted that arms will always be necessary, pre-supposing that the world continues along the same lines of development as heretofore. They have only objected to the existing form of militarism, but otherwise they have always been unanimous that military training should be compulsory and universal.
