For instance, the name of Fang is generally at the head of each list; that of Wei Chang is invariably at the foot." "It is undeniable," admitted Wei Chang, in a tone of well-merited humiliation; "and the attainment of never having yet applied a design in such a manner that the copy might be mistaken for the original has entirely flattened-out this person's self-esteem."
It is undeniable that unprovoked aggression is an extremely hateful thing, and many of the circumstances attendant upon the Spanish conquest in America were not only heinous in their atrocity, but were emphatically condemned, as we shall presently see, by the best moral standards of the sixteenth century.
According to you, the moon, whose influence upon the tides you think fixed, has none whatever upon the winds, nor upon navigation, nor upon men; she moves the sea, but she must not affect the sick folk; she has undeniable relations with one half of humanity, and nothing at all to do with the other half. These are your vaunted certainties! "Let us go a step further. You believe in physics.

Such liars, like poets, are born, not made, though doubtless their natural gifts have been improved and developed by constant practice.
So in every great movement there are short-winded people who sit down and pant very soon, and their prudence croaks out undeniable facts. What then? The conclusion drawn is not so unquestionable as the premises. 'We cannot build the wall' Why not? Have you not built half of it? And was not the first half more embarrassed by rubbish than the second will be?
"It was not a particularly good match from a mercenary point of view." "She thought us an interesting family to marry into," suggested Fred, "which is undeniable." "Then she must be greatly disappointed at seeing so little of us!" cried Ernest. In the early days, Miss Temperley had stayed frequently at the Red House, and Hadria had been cut off from her own family, who detested Henriette.
