His subtleties might not always be understood indeed, as a rule, they were not but the musical mystery of his language and the penetrating charm of his lofty and cultivated mind induced raptures in the initiated, forever denied to those who failed to appreciate him. His following was not a large one, but it was very distinguished.
As for those wingy mysteries in divinity, and airy subtleties in religion, which have unhinged the brains of better heads, they never stretched the pia mater of mine: methinks there be not impossibilities enough in religion for an active faith; the deepest mysteries ours contains have not only been illustrated, but maintained, by syllogism and the rule of reason.
'I am a practical man and all these metaphysical subtleties I don't enter into and don't want to enter into. 'Very good! That's as you prefer. But take note that your very desire to be exclusively a practical man is itself your sort of system your theory. 'Civilisation you talk about! blurted in Pigasov; 'that's another admirable notion of yours! Much use in it, this vaunted civilisation!
What humanity experiences in turning to the Creator of all existence are the attributes or qualities which are associated with God’s recurring Revelations: The door of the knowledge of the Ancient of Days being thus closed in the face of all beings, the Source of infinite grace, ... hath caused those luminous Gems of Holiness to appear out of the realm of the spirit, in the noble form of the human temple, and be made manifest unto all men, that they may impart unto the world the mysteries of the unchangeable Being, and tell of the subtleties of His imperishable Essence....
It was a Penelope's web of negotiation, said one of the envoys. Amid pertinacious and wire-drawn subtleties, every trace of practical business vanished. Neuburg departed to look after his patrimonial estates; leaving his interests in the duchies to be watched over by the Archduke. Even Count Zollern, after six months of wrangling in Brussels, took his departure.
A thousand illusions, tricks, subtleties, hypocrisies are employed to cover the bald fact that wares are being displayed, are being bidden for by other men. The deal is smothered in chivalrous urbanities and sentimental verbiage. Unnumbered circumlocutions are resorted to, to conceal the salesmanship of one who has a commodity to sell.
And he was not sure, either, whether he ought not to have added, 'Sir. Apparently such subtleties of address were not necessary, for Mr Bickersdyke did not start up and shout, 'This language to me! or anything of that kind. He merely said, 'Oh! And who are you? 'Jackson, said Mike. It was irritating, this assumption on Mr Bickersdyke's part that they had never met before. 'Jackson? Ah, yes.
Davis to impale him upon this plea. Senator Douglas had saved his seat in the Senate, but his position in the Democratic party was weakened. The Lecompton Constitution passed the Senate in spite of Douglas's steady opposition. Senator Toombs took no part in the subtleties of the Douglas-Davis debate.
As we examine the subject more closely, we will find that the science of divinity by means of reveries and subtleties has but obscured it more and more. Thus far, all religion has been founded on what is called in logic, a "begging of the question;" it supposes freely, and then proves, finally, by the suppositions it has made.
Such self- righteous subtleties must be ignored in the conduct of great affairs. This talk, instead of putting me off, made me feel it was absolutely necessary, however disagreeable, to pursue my policy. In this view I soon had the good fortune to obtain the support and encouragement of Lord Cromer. Here, by the admission of all men, was the greatest of living Imperialists.
