There is plenty of other work to be done, thank God; and wholesomer and easier work than mowing with a burning sun on their backs, drinking gallons of beer, and getting first hot and then cold across the loins, till they lay in a store of lumbago and sciatica, to cripple them in their old age.
Homes are stupid, homes are dreary, homes are insufferable. If one can be pardoned for the Irishism of such a saying, homes are their own worst "banes." If homes were what they should be, nothing under heaven could be invented which could be bane to them, which would do more than serve as useful foil to set off their better cheer, their pleasanter ways, their wholesomer joys.
CONRAD. In that case, would you mind taking him into the garden while I talk to your father? HASLAM. Rather! They would have horrified her grandmother. FRANKLYN. Yes: they are franker, wholesomer, better in a hundred ways. And yet I squirm at them. I cannot get it out of my head that Mother was a well-mannered woman, and that Savvy has no manners at all.
These are 'the meek, which describes a man's attitude to opposition and hatred; 'the merciful, which describes his indulgence in judgment and his pitifulness in action; and 'the peacemakers. For Christian people are not merely to bear injuries and to recompense them with pity and with love, but they are actively to try to bring about a wholesomer and purer state of humanity, and to breathe the peace of God, which passes understanding, over all the janglings and struggles of this world.
Anyway, it is awkward for a man with empty pockets to marry an heiress, and it is wholesomer for him to work for his living. Better that it should be out of his head at once, if it were there at all. I trust it was all our fancy. I would not have him grieved now for worlds, when his heart is sore."
Pray leave off entirely your greasy, heavy pastry, fat creams, and indigestible dumplings; and then you need not confine yourself to white meats, which I do not take to be one jot wholesomer than beef, mutton, and partridge.
Winckelmann compares Beauty with water drawn from the bosom of the spring, which, the less taste it has, the wholesomer it is esteemed.
From this point of the evening on, I think of our doings their doings with a sort of unchanging homesickness. Nothing like them can ever happen again, I know; for it's all gone settled, sobered, and gone. And whatever wholesomer prose of good fortune waits in our cup, how I thank my luck for this swallow of frontier poetry which I came in time for!
We had unconsciously made an acquisition, which grew richer and wholesomer with every new year; and ranks now, seen in the pale moonlight of memory, and must ever rank, among the precious possessions of life. Sterling's bright ingenuity, and also his audacity, velocity and alacrity, struck me more and more.
Brimberly's whiskers showed immediate signs of extreme agitation, and he started to his feet. "Mr. Ravenslee, sir for the love o' Gawd!" he exclaimed, "if it's a choice between the two try matrimony first, it's so much so much wholesomer, sir!" "Is it, Brimberly? Let's hear no more of matrimony." "Certingly not, sir!" bowed Mr. Brimberly.
