He tried his best to adapt himself to the others, and he managed well; but it was always having to be on his guard.
I loved Syria so dearly it broke my heart to leave it, and always with me was the gnawing thought: How shall I tear the East out of my heart, and adapt myself again to the bustling, struggling, everyday life of Europe? I lost no time in settling our affairs at Bludan.
We have considered the different interests which the confederates have in the success of this war, and the different shares they have contributed to its support: we have with our utmost care and diligence endeavoured to discover the nature, extent, and charge of it, to the end, that by comparing the weight thereof with our own strength, we might adapt the one to the other in such measure, as neither to continue your Majesty's subjects under a heavier burden, than in reason and justice they ought to bear; nor deceive your Majesty, your allies, and ourselves, by undertaking more than the nation in its present circumstances is able to perform.
First of all I would say this, which must be obvious to many, however much they deplore it: Christianity must change or must perish. That is the law of life that things must adapt themselves or perish.
But the will had been duly signed and witnessed before the American vice-consul, and she must get what good she could out of an accomplished fact.

One to whom nature has given a true sensibility, but denied the plastic imaginative power, will be a faithful painter of the real; he will adapt casual appearances, but never catch the spirit of nature.
Will we in this country adapt our thinking to these new prospects and patterns or will we wait until events have passed us by? This is the year to decide. The Reciprocal Trade Act is expiring. We need a new law a wholly new approach a bold new instrument of American trade policy.
Her poor little brain was struggling, perhaps, for the last time, to adapt itself to his point of view to understand why, at a moment so critical, he should treat her with the easy composure and tolerant good-nature of one who gives to a spoilt child its own way.

When this worthy couple were invited out, their hosts always put the dinner at the same hour, remembering that stomachs which were sixty-five years old could not adapt themselves to the novel hours recently adopted in the great world. Cesarine was sure that Madame Ragon would place her beside Anselme; for all women, be they fools or saints, know what is what in love.
