It is the spirit of immobility which, by straining to preserve what it is impossible to preserve, exposes us to the derision of unbelievers; and this is a great sin in the eyes of God."
You had but the twinkling of an eye for your effort, and that effort might have been unavailing; but to have risen to the level of such an effort would have rescued you, though not from dying, yet from dying as a traitor to your final and farewell duty. The situation here contemplated exposes a dreadful ulcer, lurking far down in the depths of human nature.
It is in this way that the weakest points of the dream surface are usually constituted. Those are the places where the outer covering is threadbare and exposes a nakedness to the view of the analyzer. The critical phase of the parable begins in the 11th section. The elders consult over a letter from the faculty. But it is at once effectually retracted.
Some of Johnson’s most admirable witticisms consist in the suggestion of an analogy which immediately exposes the absurdity of an action or proposition; and it is only their ingenuity, condensation, and instantaneousness which lift them from reasoning into Wit—they are reasoning raised to a higher power.
So long as the zinc surface remains intact, the underlying metal is protected from corrosive action, but a mechanical or other injury to the zinc coating that exposes the metal beneath, in the presence of moisture causes a very rapid corrosion to be started, the galvanic action being changed from the zinc positive to zinc negative, and the iron, as the positive element in the circuit, is corroded instead of the zinc.
"I don't know, " said Fleda faintly, "he is not ill but he never was very strong, and he exposes himself now I know in a way he ought not. I am sorry I have just come and troubled you with all this now, aunt Miriam," she said after a little pause, "I shall feel better by and by I don't very often get such a fit."

The bright yellow flowers of the ambatch, and of a tree resembling a laburnum, are in great profusion.
Then the main question was put, and it was carried by another emphatic and simultaneous shout. Mr. Parton thus briefly exposes the system of political black mail practiced in the City government: The plunder of the persons who are so unfortunate as to serve the public, and of those who aspire to serve the public, is systematic, and nearly universal.
Injuries must be legally proved before they can be legally redressed: to deprive men of the power of proving their injuries, is itself the greatest of all injuries; for it not only exposes to all, but invites them, by a virtual guarantee of impunity, and is thus the author of all injuries.
That's the reason I asked, an' ef I ain't mistook, Simon Girty's in the other boat. Oh, Henry, do you think I kin git a shot at him?" "I doubt it," replied Henry. "Girty is cunning and rarely exposes himself. There, they are firing, but it's too soon." Several shots were discharged from the leading boats, but they fell far short.
