A man who is playing very well at the net often gets out directly he goes in to bat in a match, whilst many a good player, who tells you "he has not had a bat in his hand this season," in his very first innings for the year makes a big score. In subsequent innings's, oddly enough, he feels the want of net practice. Confidence would seem to be the sine quâ non for the successful batsman.
Strange! that which has frightened so many minds is not, after all, an objection to equality it is the very condition on which equality exists!... Natural inequality the condition of equality of fortunes!... What a paradox!... I repeat my assertion, that no one may think I have blundered inequality of powers is the sine qua non of equality of fortunes.
Sunt geminae somni portae, quarum altera fertur Cornea, qua veris facilis datur exitus umbris: Altera candenti perfecta nitens elephanto, Sed falsa ad coelum mittunt insomnia manes. 'So if we put on sobriety and attention we shall find it a sure maxim in knowledge, that the more pleasant liquor of wine is the more vaporous, and the braver gate of ivory sendeth forth the falser dreams.
But one error I committed in both. I overlooked, in those days, the one sine qua non for making the triumph permanent. Twice I sank, twice I rose again. I could moralize if I chose; and perhaps he will moralize whether I choose it or not. "During this third prostration before the dark idol, and after some years, new and monstrous phenomena began slowly to arise.
I should expect that my blood might suffer if his brain were to become too active. If, therefore, I could discover the vein in which he was, I should let him out to begin life anew in some other and, qua me, more profitable capacity. With the units of our bodies it is as with the stars of heaven: there is neither speech nor language, but their voices are heard among them.
This medium, Leibnitz thought, was some per se efficient physical antecedent; while the Cartesians imagined for the purpose the theory of Occasional Causes, that is, supposed that God, not quâ mind, or quâ volition, but quâ omnipotent, intervenes to connect the volition and the motion: so far is the mind from being forced to think the action of mind on matter more natural than that of matter on matter.
True; but in a midshipman's berth it was the level of a savage, where corporal strength was the sine qua non, and decided whether you were to act the part of a tyrant or a slave. The discipline of public schools, bad and demoralising as it is, was light, compared to the tyranny of a midshipman's berth in 1803.
She then resolved to search after her husband, whose pardon for her previous conduct seemed to be the sine qua non for which she continued to exist.
It cannot discriminate between the intuitions of the sage and of the lunatic. It is forced to view energy of will in knowing as a source merely of corruption, and when it finds that as a psychic fact willing is ineradicable, it must conclude that we are constitutionally incapable of that passive reflection of reality which it regards as the sine qua non of truth.
Secondly, I attribute little other interest to the remarks than what is derived from the celebrity of the person who made them. Heaven preserve you, and S. T. COLERIDGE. Quid quod praefatione praemunierim libellum, qua conor omnem offendiculi ansam praecidere? Neque quicquam addubito, quin ea candidis omnibus faciat satis.
