Nothing can carry through but the southern Negroes, and nobody can marshal them into the struggle except the abolitionists.... Such men as Lovejoy, Hale, and the like have pretty much given up the struggle in despair.
The struggle after so-called delicacies comes from the poorness of common things. Perfect bread and butter would soon drive cake out of the field; it has done so in many families. Nevertheless, I have a word to say under the head of Confectionery, meaning by this the whole range of ornamental cookery, or pastry, ices, jellies, preserves, etc.
Every possible weapon was brought into play by international finance to secure that the impudence of financial independence should be properly checked; and so it happened that although £5,000,000 was secured after an intense struggle it was soon plain that the large requirements of a derelict government could not be satisfied in this Quixotic manner.
I can't reach it!" wailed Helen, who was really trying to pull down the curtain. Ann ran with a bowl of water and tried to splash it over the burning curtain. But the bowl tipped backwards and part of the water went over Heavy, who was just trying to struggle to her feet. "Oh! oh! wow!" gasped the plump girl. "I'm drowning!

That is our model, dear brethren, 'always courageous, afraid of nothing in life, in death, or beyond, and therefore willing to go from home from the body and to go home to the Lord.
Suddenly she became aware that May was passing her in knowledge of Greek, and was thus winning the notice of the man she had begun to look upon as worthy of her own choice. Ida at once addressed herself to the struggle with all the energy of her nature, but at first without success.
I have mentioned my inability to depict the terrible struggle that went on in my soul. It seems strange that Nietzsche that most ruthless of philosophers to the romantic mind! should express it for me.
Presently the horrible sense subsided as before, and again he sought to descend the stair and go to Kelpie. But immediately the sickness returned, and all he could do after a long and vain struggle, was to crawl on hands and knees up the stairs and back to his room. There he crept upon his bed, and was feebly committing Kelpie to the care of her maker, when consciousness forsook him.
So, all this knit their loves: she knew, and he felt, that he was going in the road of nobleness and honour; and the fiery ordeal which he had to struggle through, raised that hearty earthly lover more nearly to a level with his heavenly-minded mistress.
