Now that you have signed the petition for universal peace, said Stephen, I suppose you will burn that little copybook I saw in your room. As Davin did not answer, Stephen began to quote: Long pace, fianna! Right incline, fianna! Fianna, by numbers, salute, one, two! That's a different question, said Davin. I'm an Irish nationalist, first and foremost. But that's you all out.
The ideal of labour is that it should be something in which we can take an interest and even a pride. Immense masses of it in London are the merest slavery, and it is as mechanical as the daily journey of the omnibus horse. There is no possibility of relieving it, and all the ordinary copybook advice of moralists and poets as to the temper in which we should earn our bread is childish nonsense.
"Why, I remember when I was a little boy in school, and one day made a big blot on the very first page of my new copybook, that I didn't have the heart to go on any further, and I recollect well how I teased my father to buy me a new book, and cried and sulked until he finally took his knife and neatly cut out the blotted page.
As for stopping a woman by such merely mechanical means as the closing of public-houses, the idea is ridiculous to anybody who knows the foxy cunning, the fixed determination of a female soaker. It is a great moral and physical problem that we want to solve, and Bills and clauses are only so much ink and paper which are ineffective as a schoolboy's copybook.
On the table is a Bible and Prayer-book, and sometimes a third book for amusement or instruction.

The female prisoners are not in their cells, but we shortly after find them assembled in a large room above, seated and at work.
"If a man is worth his salt, the fact that he is regarded as a Prince should make him princely." "That is well said. Try and live up to it. You will find it a task, though, to regulate your life by copybook maxims." "The princedom is worth nothing otherwise. In its way, it is a handicap.
Hausman nearly blotted his copybook by exclaiming, "For God's sake " He choked that down in time and said, "But it could be centuries before a revival process is perfected, if it ever is." Garces nodded. "I know. But you're missing a psychological point that could be valuable to UNRC. This Kieran has relatives, doesn't he?" Hausman nodded. "A widowed mother and a sister.
Things that were moving around in my mind, though I didn't know quite what to call them. For one thing, it has made me realize," her eyes darkened, "that my time for really being a woman not in the copybook sense is diminishing. Getting short. Oh, you and Mr.
But the lines of the copybook thereafter faded into long parallels of never-ending road, over which childish figures seemed to pass sobbing and crying into the night. Then, the little schoolhouse seeming lonelier than before, he shut the door and went home. The next morning Mliss came to school.
The race was not to the swift, but to the faithful. What other people had done, she, by following the old copybook rules of the honest policy, the early rising, the power of knowledge, the infinite capacity of taking pains that was genius, could do, too. She had been the toy of chance too long. She would grasp chance, now, and make it serve her.
