Nothing is superior to asceticism: by asceticism one acquireth mighty fruit. Do thou know, O Bharata, that there is nothing that asceticism cannot achieve.

All punishment of the condign order, for contempt or resistance of the press, now went by the board, and in its stead the seaman was merely admonished in paternal fashion, as in a Proclamation of 1623, to take the king's shilling "dutifully and reverently" when it was tendered to him.

Peewee's face has taken on a derisive and ominous air. "I'll give you the low down," says she with a sniff. "Men? They're all alike.
Cicily maintained her mask of guilelessness. "Yes, indeed, I did!... He said that was why he didn't trust you." Morton saw fit to change the rather delicate subject. "It must be a matter of great satisfaction that you have at last won this strike," he remarked, somewhat inanely. "Of course, it is," Cicily agreed, with a renewal of her former enthusiasm.
All Europe is accustomed to crazy Americans of course, but this strained credulity to the breaking point; for nobody who has not tried to travel in the war countries can realize the sheer unbelievability of such guilelessness. The British laughed loud and long. His papers were taken away and sent to London but in a few days everything was returned.
Her face was of the rounded, full-lipped, wistful type; the sensuous, selfish face moulded into the likeness of childlike guilelessness which of all the multitudinous varieties of the "ever womanly" is the one most likely to be destructive.
