Deprecates flattery guardedly, as bad for any sovereign; considers who the greatest of these predecessors were: Yao, Shun, and Yu, 'Tang the Completer, Wu Wang; and implies a good deal. Warms to his work at last, and grows bitter; almost openly pooh poohs all modern achievements; respectfully or perhaps not too respectfully advocates a return to the feudal
From the first, he must be contented to have principles imputed to him which he abhors, motives which he disdains, and ends which he deprecates. He must submit to have the energies of his well-regulated piety confounded with the follies of the fanatic, and his temperate zeal blended with the ravings of the insane.
And from this very contrast between the old and the new, this sense of visible time-strata in the structure of a city, there results a very real effect of age. Here, in Washington, one instinctively craves for something of that uniformity which one instinctively deprecates as an ideal for New York.
God, then, is the ultimate spirituality which inspires the struggling personality, and gives to it a sense of unity and confidence. Eucken does not admit that God is a personality in the sense that we are, and deprecates all anthropomorphic conceptions of God as a personal being.

Stay, sir, and hear me, I am no hypocrite, and I speak honestly. I like young faces; I have no family of my own.
"I assure you," said Morton, much embarrassed, "that I have not the means of receiving you at Milnwood without my uncle's consent and knowledge; nor, if I could do so, would I think myself justifiable in engaging him unconsciously in danger, which, most of all others, he fears and deprecates." "Well," said the traveller, "I have but one word to say.
In such seasons, the experiment of the Tory might lead to all that he most deprecates, and the branches of the Prerogative, once cut away, might, like the lopped boughs of the fir-tree, never grow again.
But India she knew. "I sometimes fancy," she told him with the conscious laugh that deprecates a confessed superstition, "that I must have lived here in some past incarnation."
