"I never cease to admire your countrymen," he said, "On Sundays they say, 'I believe in the Holy Catholic Church, and, on work-days, they say, 'I believe in the Holy Anglican Church. You are admirably trained. You adapt yourselves to circumstances."
And Beauclair had added that Marie would at last become a woman, that in that moment of supreme joy she would cease to be a child, that although seemingly worn out by her prolonged dream of suffering, she would all at once be restored to resplendent health, with beaming face, and eyes full of life.
It means only wise, careful use. It does not mean that we shall cease to cut our timber, but it does mean that we shall not waste two-thirds of all that is cut, as we are doing at present.
We felt more and more that social injustice must cease, and cease forthwith. We felt we could not sleep upon it. At the end we clapped and murmured our applause and wanted badly to cheer.

And then the distinguished General had to issue another order, pointing out that "this abbreviation is unauthorised" and that "this practice must cease."
We may then make our choice of two things stop working; stop going, cease to move, to exist or gather at each successive effort whatever remains of habit, of conscience, of native force, and put it into effect till our work, which we have not dropped, drops us. Should Eugenio address these hard sayings to his appealing, his palpitating correspondents?
"Dead these sacred laws may be in practice, but the great spirit of them must live, else man in this land will cease to be master in his own house; the peace of our homes will pass. Also, does not your own holy book write plainly on this subject of obedience of women and children?"
