"Not for some millions of years; time to look about us," said the Colonel, gravely. "But I certainly differ from those who maintain that Sirius recedes from us. I say that he approaches. The principles of a body so enlightened must be those of progress." Then addressing Graham in English, he added, "there will be a mulling in this fogified planet some day, I predicate. Sirius is a keener!"
In his essays on hero-worship he contents himself with a noisy reiteration of the general predicate of heroism; there is very little except their names and the titles to differentiate one sort of hero from another.
I deny the predicate and the argument. Suppose the Legislature of the Senator's own State should pass a law declaring his wife, his children, his friends, indeed, any white citizen of Kentucky, property, and should they be sold and transferred as such, would the gentleman fold his arms and say, "Yes, they are property, for the law has made them such?"
Thus “Cæsar may be dead” means “I am not sure that Cæsar is alive.” A simple proposition is that in which one predicate is affirmed or denied of one subject. A compound proposition is that in which there is more than one predicate, or more than one subject, or both.
Kepler did not extend an observed truth to other cases than those in which it had been observed: he did not widen the subject of the proposition which expressed the observed facts. He left the subject as it was; the alteration he made was in the predicate.
It altered only the predicate, changing The successive places of, e.g. Mars, are A, B, C, and so forth, into The successive places of, e.g. Mars, are points in an ellipse: whereas induction always widens the subject. Induction is generalisation from experience. It assumes, in short, that the course of nature is uniform, that is, that all things take place according to general laws.
It is by continually affirming and relying on the I am in ourselves as identical with the I am that is the One and Only Life, whether manifested or unmanifested, in all places of the universe, that we shall find the way to the attainment of all Truth and of all Life. Here we have the predicate which we are seeking to complete our affirmation regarding ourselves.
No predicate can be added, because the only commensurate predicate would be the enumeration of Infinity. Therefore, both logically and grammatically, the only possible statement of a fully liberated being is made in the words I am. I need hardly remind my readers of the frequency with which Jesus employed these emphatic words.
More likely it has the same root as the Latin divus, dius, deus, and the Greek theios, dios, theos, cf. Grimm's Deutsche Mythologie, sub v. Terra editum==indigena above; and gaegenaes and autochthon in Greek. Originem==auctores. It is predicate after Mannum. Ut in licentia vetustatis. As in the license of antiquity, i.e. since such license is allowed in regard to ancient times. Ingaevones.
A proposition, we have before said, is a portion of discourse in which a predicate is affirmed or denied of a subject.
