It is so far from being true as a general maxim, that it is generally the contrary of the truth; and, if you look back through the list of our own public men, you will find that, in general, they have been shallow and mischievous in proportion to their gift of talking.
What matter? If he has not caught them, he might have caught them; he has been catching them in imagination all the way up; and if he be a minute philosopher, he holds that there is no falser proverb than that devil's beatitude 'Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed.
'I don't want to be rude, Miss Mary, Luke rejoined, 'but what right have you to say that their religion's any worse or falser than your own? 'Everybody knows that it is that cares about religion at all, Mary replied with coldness and, in the last words, a significant severity. 'It's the faith, Mary, my dear, interposed Mr. Boddy, 'the faith's the great thing.
Such projects and propositions were ever floating, as it were, in the atmosphere, and it was impossible for the most just men to escape suspicion in the mind of a king who fed upon suspicion as his daily bread.

"Oh, sir, at once I dismiss you to Amphitrite's court!" cried the lady. "Master Darrell," to a dark-browed, saturnine personage, "tell me less of Amphitrite and more of the truth.

"Oh, if women knew what it is to sell themselves! They will marry more purely, maybe, soon. I believe that Christ made the marriage-vow binding, Paul, because, though some might break it with pure intent, yet, if it were of no avail, as it is in those Homes you talk of, and in Indiana, women would become more degraded by brutal men, live falser lives, than even now.
