If Ammonius has erred ten times over still more than ten signs remain on this tablet, hostile and fatal to the praetor. I grieve for Verus but the state suffers with the sovereign's misfortunes. This man can never be my successor." "No?" asked Sabina rising from her couch. "No? Not when you have seen that your own star outlives his?
Mabel was popular and beloved, and her betrothed, in appearance and manner, in breeding and intelligence, justified Mrs. Sutton's pride in her niece's choice. The old lady colored up, with the quick, vivid rose-tint of sudden and real pleasure that rarely outlives early girlhood, when the first respondent to the breakfast-bell proved to be her Frederic's god-son. "You are always punctual!
The soul and the body put themselves in equilibrium, as it were, and nature requires no more motion than is necessary for out preservation. But the wish to command outlives the necessity from which, it sprang; power to control others awakens and gratifies self-love, and habit makes it strong.

I'm afraid she never will have much comfort in this world, unless she outlives her lord and master.

The Neckan and The Forsaken Merman tell the tale of contemptuous unkindness and its enduring poison.
Marcia never entered the Coryston box, which held one of the most coveted positions on the grand tier, without a vague thrill of exultation; that instinctive, overbearing delight in the goods of Vanity Fair, which the Greek called hubris, and which is only vile when it outlives youth. It meant in her "I am young I am handsome the world is all on my side who shall thwart or deny me?"

Ye fade, yet still how sweet, ye Flowers! Your scent outlives the bloom! So, Father, may my mortal hours Grow sweeter towards the tomb!
