In all other countries I received, as my right, a palace to live in when I called on the king of my country, and unless he gave one now I should feel slighted; moreover, I should like a hut in the same enclosure as himself, when I could sit and converse with him constantly, and teach him the use of the things I had given him.
Barnard's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. It had apparently been harder for her to give up the poor slighted wedding-clothes than for her daughter.
Alarmed by the poison that lurks in some of his wild speculations, we have slighted the antidote to be found in many others of them, and heaped obloquy on the fame of a poet whose genius and kindness of heart should have insured our pity for the errors of his creed. He who was all charity has found none in the judgment pronounced on him by his contemporaries; but posterity will be more just.
'He hath dispersed' abroad, 'he hath given to the poor, his righteousness endureth for ever. All which things are slighted by the world.
And the Lady Ysolinde remained mostly in her own domains to which, of late, I had been less and less invited. Nevertheless, when we met, she was more than kind to me gentle, forbearing, pathetic almost in bearing and demeanor, like as a woman wronged, slighted, misconstrued.

Isn't that so?"
Why, he's a tailor! think of that a tailor! that's all he is. By Jove! only think a tailor! and Katie's guardian! Do you suppose I was going to stand any nonsense from a tailor?" "By Jove! no not unless you're deep in his books," said Harry; "and even then, when you're away from home you ought to be a free man. So you rather slighted the guardian, did you?"
Man had been taught to despise reason, almost his highest quality. The consequence was, that reason passed into the service of the mere technical arrangements of life. Man rationalized nature and left himself irrational, as can be seen in the Great War. Because religion ignored reason and slighted many sides of man's nature, it paid the penalty of abortiveness.
