Of the Greek colonists of Asia the Ionians possessed the highest culture, and with them we find the first development of Greek poetry. Drawing from the common language a richer tone and a clearness and graphic power that their neighbors never equaled, they early unfolded the ancient legends and genealogies of the race into new and enlarged forms of poetical beauty.
The Indians were now not more than half a mile away and coming on at full speed, with wild yells and whoops, confident of making a splendid capture. Directing the officers what course to take, Buffalo Bill saw them start off at full speed while he remained quietly seated upon his splendid horse Brigham, a steed that equaled Sable Satan for speed and endurance.
The irrationality of this world is equaled by its weakness and its licentiousness. It is greedy of time to the point of wasting it. Seek in it for affection as little as for ideas. Its kisses conceal a profound indifference, its urbanity a perpetual contempt. It has no other fashion of love. Flashes of wit without profundity, a wealth of indiscretion, scandal, and above all, commonplace.
The soul's chief capabilities may, for the sake of elucidation, be represented as so many different rooms within itself, each of which can be made to have a spaciousness equaled by no material amplitude ever yet ascertained, and each of which, so long as it is kept in the process of growth, is and will be susceptible of fresh furnishing.

Count Timascheff's desire to return to the world was quite equaled by Lieutenant Procope's. The Russian sailors' only thought was to follow their master, wherever he went.
She is vastly superior morally, beyond any question. She does the greatest work in the world; she gives to earth its thinking population and creates every one of the great men that move civilization along. But otherwise, in the way of MATERIAL accomplishment, woman cannot be said to equal man at present, and she cannot be said ever to have equaled him.
Before another tide has risen on our accursed black beach, verily both of you, the last survivors " With a harsh word of anger, the spearsman thrust him back and away. Stern leaped forward, revolver leveled. But before he could pull trigger the iron door had clanged shut. Once more darkness swallowed them. Black though it was, it equaled not the blackness of their absolute despair.
