It became apparent to various thinkers that the humanitarian view of the question was not its be-all and end-all; that some facts and considerations per contra had to be taken into account; and that what one train of thought and feeling denounced as a mere self-condemned wrong might, according to another, be even regarded as a higher right.
Thinking Germany has fallen a victim to the teachings of Treitschke and Nietzsche Treitschke with his Macchiavellian doctrine that "Power is the end-all and be-all of a State," Nietzsche with his contempt for pity and the gentler virtues, his admiration for "valour," and his disdain for Christianity. This explanation is too simple to fit the facts.
He had done well at Edinburgh University, and, having obtained his Arts degree, was on the point of settling down to study for the ministry the be-all and end-all of the hope of a humble Scottish household when disaster came tumbling upon his family. His brother David fell sick in his lungs, and the doctor prescribed a sojourn in a drier climate for at least a year.
But the men of the Commune had advanced far ahead of such old Tories of Socialism and Democracy as LEDRU ROLLIN and LOUIS BLANC. Still occupied with the one single prospect of their daily life, and regarding the relations between capital and labour as the be-all and end-all of existence, they had reached the conclusion that all capital should be transferred bodily to themselves; that they alone ought to constitute society, that all other classes should be dispossessed as worthless, and all established institutions abolished as effete.
He from time to time went through the form of consulting with his Executive Council, but, so far from receiving any impulse from them, he invariably carried all before him at the Council Board, and was the be-all and end-all of the Administration.
It is nothing to you or to any one else that the great lights of the parliamentary sky have failed for some few years in this business to set you the example of moving on. The one grand recipe remains for you the profound philosophical prescription the be-all and the end-all of your strange existence upon earth. Move on!
"It is the custom of our people" is the final word. And what has become customary is by caste enactment made obligatory. And woe be to him who defies caste. And thus the caste-prescribed trade becomes the be-all and the end-all of life. These four the connubial, the convivial, the contactual, and the occupational are the constant factors of the caste existence and activity in India.
If she were one of those ordinary women to whom marriage is the be-all and end-all of existence, it would be different but she is not. Her thoughts are like those of a child or a poet, why should I trouble them by the selfishness of my passion? for all passion is selfish, even at its best.
He smiled genially, so genially that Grant dismissed the notion that the other might, in vulgar parlance, be pulling his leg. "Well, that is the be-all and end-all of Miss Martin's presence. It would be cruel, and unfair, if a girl of her age were forced into a distasteful prominence in connection with a crime with which she is no more related than with Sirius itself."
I quite agree with that commendation; but what a curious thing it is that one should now find it necessary to urge that this is the be-all and end-all of scientific instruction the sine qua non, the absolutely necessary condition, and yet that it was insisted upon more than two hundred years ago by one of the greatest men science ever possessed in this country, William Harvey.
