Terry put it up to me, saying I was the sociologist, and I explained that the laws of nature require a struggle for existence, and that in the struggle the fittest survive, and the unfit perish.
"Tut, tut!" warned the parent, raising her finger, "it was cruel, but Otto will survive it, as he has many other times, and before many years he will become so large that his father will not be able to punish him." "I hope he will undertake it, and Otto will knock him " "Stop!" said the mother, more sternly, "you have already allowed your feelings to lead you too far."
The fierce little hungry creature threw her arms round Molly's neck and kissed her like a lover. Molly was melted into tears. "Oh, Bianca, you bewilder, you terrify me! What is this of husbands and your soul?" "Ah, my soul!" cried she. "Do you think so highly of it as to suppose it will survive this marriage, or so lightly as not to care? My soul, poor child, is in the case with your lovely body.
The conservatives were mostly the bald old fellows. Among the illusions that rarely survive a man's hair in Wall Street is the one that "sure things" are necessarily sure.

In time man will exterminate the rest of the wild creatures of Australia, but this one will probably survive, for man is his friend and lets him alone.

"I think he'll be able to survive the omission." Miss Sterling patted the pillow into shape and smiled over it. "Oh, I saw him yesterday!" Polly broke out. "I forgot to tell you!"
Even though the old hermit had been rough in his ways, Joe thought a good deal of the man. "Cannot you do something, doctor," he pleaded. "Not here. We might do something in a hospital, but he would not survive the journey. He is growing weaker every moment. Be brave, my lad. It is a terrible trial, I know, but you must remember that all things are for the best."
