He has more spirit than any cub we've had to get into shape this many a moon. It isn't that. It is just that he has the right idea, had it from the start however he came by it. You know what it is, captain. It is obedience, first, last and all the time, the will to be willed.
The thought of the white doe living after he had willed its death inflamed him with rage; he could not rest till he had brought hounds on the trail, determined to follow until it had surrendered to him its life. All day, while he hunted, the woods stayed breathless, as if to watch; not a blade moved, not a leaf fell.
In each of these instances it will be noticed that the crisis was successfully passed by "stimulation." The German mind was made to believe what the Kaiser willed. But what about the future? Is there a bottomless well of stimulation in Germany? Before these questions can be answered others must be asked: Why don't the German people think for themselves? Will they ever think for themselves?
Thus began in a small sectional manner a national movement which led far indeed. Mr. O'Cathasaigh, from whose Story of the Irish Citizen Army I quote, attributes the failure of that purely Labour organization chiefly to the establishment of the Irish Volunteers. This was a development which Redmond on his part neither willed nor approved, yet one which in the circumstances was inevitable.
Four days before her death, perceiving that she was near her end, she willed to consecrate to God that which man could have no longer, and dismissed her lover with the gift of a valuable jewel and a purse of two hundred louis. Tiretta marched off and came and told me the sad news.

He was conscious of a mind of singular acuteness and a tongue of parts, both of which would do whatever he willed. Beneath all the tumultuous talk of Paris, when he first arrived there, lay the great and unsolved problem of Universals and this he promptly made his own, rushing in where others feared to tread.
And Saint Patrick, considering the pleasantness and convenience of the place, and walking around it, found therein a doe lying down with her fawn, which they who accompanied the saint willed to slay; but this the pious father would in no wise suffer to be done.
Did she do him the injustice to believe him incapable of actually smelling out the jewels if ever he got within range of them? But conjecture was too idle, Liane was too deep for him; her intent would declare itself when she willed it, not before, unless he could lull her into a false sense of faith in him, trick her into betraying herself by inadvertence. "But, my dear friend, why America?"
I know," whispered the old man, with the air of a child to whom the intelligence has been communicated as a great secret not that of a father who had thus willed for the happiness of a dear child. "Domine Rodgers is to come at six," said the Colonel. "And then I hope I shall have the pleasure of calling you by a dearer name than that of Uncle." "Yes, yes Mary is a good girl," said the old man.
