Spend twenty-five of your forty years, as Luther Dallas did, in this perennial gloom, and your soul that which enjoys, aspires, competes will be drugged as deep as if you had quaffed the cup of oblivion. Luther Dallas was counted one of the most experienced axe-men in the northern camps.
There that ironic masterpiece, Olympe otherwise known as the Cat and Cocotte has hung for the edification of intelligent amateurs, though it was only a bequest of triumphant hatred in official eyes. And now the lady with her cat and negress is in the Louvre, in which sacrosanct region she, with her meagre, subtle figure, competes among the masterpieces. Yet there were few dissenting voices.
It is really the wholesale prices that govern the farmer, rather than retail prices, for it is in wholesale prices that the farmer competes with the world.
I see a very wise animal there, who never competes; for she has learned something of the golden lesson that it is more blessed to give than to receive; and she acts on what she has learnt, all day long. Which do you mean? Why, that is a bee. Yes, it is a bee: and I wish I were as worthy in my place as that bee is in hers.
His famous reference to the Sun-God Mithras reads as follows: "The devil in the mystic rites of his idols competes even with the essential portions of the sacraments of God.
The number of first-class singers is so small that every manager competes for them, and enables them to charge fancy prices, which are ruinous to any manager who has no government or other support to fall back on. It is a curious thing, this scarcity of good singers.
But we also apply the term "competition" to rivalry in which there is no common purpose; to contests in which there is no intention to continue or repeat the match, and in which no rules control. Weeds compete with flowers and crowd them out. The factory competes with the hand loom and banishes it. The trust competes with the small firm and puts it out of business. The result is monopoly.
Who's to lead?" "Oh! Baldassare, of course," replied Franchi, a sallow, languid young man, who looked as if he had been raised in a hot-house, and had lost all his color. "Nobody else would take the trouble. Who is he to dance with?" "Let him see who will have him. I shall not interfere. He'll dance for both, anyhow," answered Orsetti, laughing. "No one competes with Adonis." "Where is he?"
She perhaps even affects mannish ways, unconsciously copying from those not most manly, or comes to feel that she has been robbed of something; competes with men, but sometimes where they are most sordid, brutish, and strongest; always expecting, but never finding, she turns successively to art, science, literature, and reforms; craves especially work that she can not do; and seeks stimuli for feelings which have never found their legitimate expression.
But the aim which they place before us is frankly stated it is the acquisition of wealth; they are "on manna bent and mortal ends," and their conception of the future is a world in which one nation competes against another for the acquisition of markets and commodities.
