He hated rant, demagogy, the rash formulating of emotional theories; and his contempt for bad logic and subjective judgments led him to regard with distrust the panaceas offered for the cure of economic evils. But his heart ached for the bitter throes with which the human machine moves on.
"Why was an old maid ever born!" "She never was," I couldn't help saying, but I might as well not have said it. Dicky was rapidly formulating his plan of action. "I'll tell her straight out, after dinner," he concluded, "and her mother, too, if I get a chance." "Do you know what will happen?" I asked. "You never know what will happen," replied Dicky, blushing. "Mrs. and Miss Portheris and Mr.
He prepares the soil: suggesting the way to, rather than precisely formulating, the high teachings. The advantage of the grand Platonic camouflage has been twofold: on the one hand you could hardly dwarf your soul with dogmatic acceptation of Platonism, because he gave all his teachings even Reincarnation as hypotheses, and men do not as a rule crucify their mental freedom on an hypothesis.
This is not a case, then, of "science laying down the law," and ordering this individual to marry at this age, and that not to marry at another; and yet though this rigorous individual application of our principles is absurd, they are none the less worth formulating, if it be possible.

They walked up Broadway in silence for a while, toward the cross-street which housed the university club which was their common objective. "I know I ought to be," Dick said, just as Billy was formulating an apology for his presumption, "or I ought to marry her out of hand.
There flitted through his mind the lovely figure of Madame Laurier. Her charm was, doubtless, still haunting his son. And to think that he could not bring her here! . . . The austere father of the preceding year contemplated himself with astonishment as he caught himself formulating this immoral regret. They passed a quarter of an hour without loosening hands, looking into each other's eyes.
The pages of the book will become familiar; the beautiful corner of the road will have been turned too many times. Well, this is the saddest story. And yet I do believe that for every man there comes at last a woman or no, that is the wrong way of formulating it. For every man there comes at last a time of life when the woman who then sets her seal upon his imagination has set her seal for good.
