When the interests are filling their newspapers with falsehoods and exaggerations, it's a temptation for us to publish falsehoods and exaggerations on the other side.

Hal, it must be admitted, was not paying much attention to this edifying sermon.
We were born rich; we revel in the "reparations" that our fathers wrung from a conquered Nature. But Nature, like Germany, is not really whipped. If we relax, she will default on her payments. As long as Nature is not really whipped, her treaty is a scrap of paper. Nature, right now, is preparing for a come-back. She will not arm openly, for we would then arm to meet her.
Do you want us to take infinite pains in acquiring a style?" "By no means," Eugenio was prepared to declare in the event of this come-back. "Do not think about style. If you do your work well, patiently, faithfully, truly, style will infallibly be added unto you. That is the one thing you must not try for. If you try for style, you will be like a man thinking about his clothes or his manners.
But the notes were a little just a little further away she thought, nor could she see it anywhere. And it was then that Come-Back Stumper, limping a trifle as usual, approached them. He looked troubled rather, and though his manner was full of confidence still, his mind had mild confusion in it somewhere. He joined Uncle Felix and the children, standing in front of them.
First time he was on a stage in his life, after being starved and thirsted for two days. Oh, I know, Mr. Manager." "If you kill the dog it'll cost you a dollar to the garbage man to get rid of the carcass," the manager took up. "I'll pay it gladly," Davis said, again lifting the iron bar. "I've got some come-back, ain't I?" "You animal guys make me sick," the stage-hand uttered.

"But they're looking with us," Tim insisted eagerly. "We're all looking together for something Uncle Felix, Come-Back Stumper, everybody. It's wonderful. It never ends."
He was what Mother called "a character" as well, and if the children used this statement in praise of him, while adopting in their carelessness a revised version, "he has no character," this was not Come-Back Stumper's fault. He was also an "extinguished soldger," and had seen much service in foreign parts.
They wanted to let the matter stand; wanted me to let it be adjusted later; anything to serve as an excuse for delay. Brooks said to me, with a grin; "The property's in the company's name let the roughnecks sweat a while. They've got no come-back, anyhow." That was when I smashed him. Do you blame me? I'd taken over those fellows' claims in good faith.
Spring a come-back, won't you, Warble?" "You want me?" "More than anything in the world! I'm mad about you! You beauty! You raving beauty! You'll be the talk of the world this winter. Gee, Warble, how I can dress you, now you're thin! Won't Beer be astounded!" That's the way things came to Warble.
We'll keep nothing from each other, and we'll start out on this campaign of decency and honor, fully understanding its responsibilities, without a chance of a come-back on either side." Laura turned and looked at him. Her face was pale and serious. Yes, plain words must be spoken between them and the proper time was now so he might yet draw back, if he found he could not take her as she was.
