"It consists," he says, "in saying only good things, dealing only with good subjects, the single aim of which is to deter from vice, and to lead on to virtue." He was an extraordinarily prolific and rapid writer, scarcely ever correcting or polishing up anything that he had put on paper.
The phantom, correcting his mistake, observed that the king of gods and men had not sent Hermes but the Archduke Ernestus, beloved of the three Graces, favourite of the nine Muses, and, in addition to these advantages, nephew and brother-in-law of the King of Spain, to the relief of the suffering provinces.
Therefore it is not surprising that the primitive outlook should have bitten hard into the plastic stuff of the developing psyche, and forms still the infantile foundation of our mental life.

"Hold on, fellows," Whistler said, diving for the glass he never went to sea without. "That's no smack." They all had turned to look at the approaching craft which Ikey had first sighted.

Ancient nations emphasized the social-national aspect of life overmuch, as for example the Spartans; the modern home overemphasizes the family aspect.
