Williams who, it need scarcely be said, was one of the hardened ones upon whom the skipper's words produced no impression saw plainly what was passing in the minds of the others, and hastened to annul the effect produced. "That was a very clever speech of the old man's very clever," he remarked sardonically. "There was only one fault about it, and that was that he didn't speak the truth.
Among the North American Indians, falsely called a phlegmatic race, nervous diseases are epidemic to an almost unparalleled extent. Intense thought, on the other hand, as I have before said, tends to lessen and annul the emotions. Intellectual self-consciousness is adverse to them. But religion, we are everywhere told, is largely a matter of the emotions.
But the effects of the alleged discovery of the means to direct the more terrible force of vril were chiefly remarkable in their influence upon social polity. As these effects became familiarly known and skillfully administered, war between the vril-discoverers ceased, for they brought the art of destruction to such perfection as to annul all superiority in numbers, discipline, or military skill.
It is well known that it has been the aim of that functionary, whose "characteristic kindness" has not failed to escape the Governor's notice, to thwart the consul in all his proceedings. The nefarious design speaks for itself. The consul was informed of the proceeding, and very properly refused to submit to such a violation of authority, intended to annul his proceedings.
They told her that she might still make everything right, annul the past and begin the world again as fresh as ever, if she would only smile and study to forget! Do it for the sake of others, they said, and then it will be done for yourself also. But she could not conquer the past.
To the statesmen of South Carolina belongs the invention, and upon the citizens of that State will unfortunately fall the evils of reducing it to practice. * I consider, then, the power to annul a law of the United States, assumed by one State, incompatible with the existence of the Union, contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution, unauthorized by its spirit, inconsistent with every principle on which it was founded and destructive of the great object for which it was formed. * To say that any State may at pleasure secede from the Union, is to say that the United States are not a Nation, because it would be a solecism to contend that any part of a Nation might dissolve its connection with the other parts, to their injury or ruin, without committing any, offense."
In the language of the Constitution, "all the legislative powers" which it grants "are vested in the Congress of the United States." It would be a solecism in language to say that any portion of these is not included in the whole. It may be said, indeed, that the Constitution has given to the Executive the power to annul the acts of the legislative body by refusing to them his assent.
If, instead of becoming a nun, Angela had married another man after you were lost, Italian law would not annul the marriage in order that she might become your wife. 'Of course not! 'Then why should the Church annul an obligation which is quite as solemn as marriage? Giovanni thought he had caught the churchman in a fallacy. 'I beg your pardon, he replied.
Although this effect transcends the forces of Nature, they do not think it possible to show that it surpasses the power of the Author of Nature. For him it is easy to annul the laws that he has given or to dispense with them as seems good to him, in the same way as he was able to make iron float upon water and to stay the operation of fire upon the human body.
It was difficult for the people to believe that this great thing had really happened; that they were actually free once more, and might go and come through any gate they pleased, with none to molest or forbid; that the terrible Talbot, that scourge of the French, that man whose mere name had been able to annul the effectiveness of French armies, was gone, vanished, retreating driven away by a girl.
