When I stand out here at night and look at it through the trees, it gives me such a feeling here, and she pressed her hand over her heart. "'Do you think it is only beautiful at night? one of the other girls asked indignantly, and all joined in enthusiastic affirmations of its attractions even at high noon, which all goes to show how relative the matter is.
With eager haste he told that he had found the mother, whose fall from virtue Rebecca, overcome by confusion and threats, had taken on herself. Rebecca rejoiced, but her sisters shook their heads, and even the father seemed to doubt. Confident in the truth of his story, Henry persisted so boldly in his affirmations, that if Mr.
Maurice exclaimed. "Yes, if you can find a priest who will consent to your union, inscribe your name upon his parish register and give you a certificate, you will be so indissolubly united, Mademoiselle Lacheneur and you, that the court of Rome would never grant you a divorce." To suspect the truth of these affirmations was difficult, and yet Maurice doubted still.
While Christianity builds upon the affirmations of the New Testament and the positive virtues taught by the Saviour it is loyal, as Christ was, to the Commandments which God gave to the people through Moses. Most of these commandments those relative to man's duty to man are written unto the statutes of state and nation; they form the basis of our laws.
The most impatient, the most vehement, raised significant eyebrows and shot out optical affirmations that nothing could be more effective than the verbal method the poet had adopted although doubtless it was quite his own, so in keeping was it with his reserved, retiring, non-committal personality.
Where, by the way, we may take notice, that universal propositions of whose truth or falsehood we can have certain knowledge concern not existence: and further, that all particular affirmations or negations that would not be certain if they were made general, are only concerning existence; they declaring only the accidental union or separation of ideas in things existing, which, in their abstract natures, have no known necessary union or repugnancy.

His philosophy of life was exalted an exalted socialism. He was, to employ Nietzsche's pithy phrase, a "Yes-Sayer"; he said "Yes" to the universe. A man of vigorous affirmations, he worshipped nature, not for its pictorial aspects, but for the god which is the leaf and rock and animal, for the god that beats in our pulses and shines in the clear sunlight.
And you should have heard the tales that went about, the quiet affirmations, the expressions of absolute certainty which were exchanged whenever a delirious patient cried out that she was cured. Another! Yet another! However, a piteous voice would at times exclaim: "Ah! she's cured; that one; she's lucky, she is!"
Hugo, supported not merely by his own justifiable confidences but by her mother's affirmations, could, indeed, put no credence in his ears. Many explanations were possible for this extraordinary feminine perversity; she had happened to mention the one explanation that was not possible.
