"That's just what I should have thought," cried the Lepi; "it could never be done." "Well, he is rather big," answered the Astrodi; "but there's a cure for everything, and he will be content with half-measures."
Soliman, it must be said to his credit, was no man to deal in half-measures, and when once he had given his trust he gave it whole-heartedly, generously.

It is only for your sake and for honor and our future happiness that I restrain myself now. You see I am not an Englishman who can accept half-measures. Do not make it impossible for me, sweet love!"
Diplomatists, a timid army of peace, proceed but by half-measures. There is one which was proposed in 1814 by Count Aldini, in 1831 by Rossi, in 1855 by Count Cavour.

Here at an early date we hear the key-note of his life, hatred of compromises and half-measures. If it were necessary to go to war at all, he would fight regardless of expense. Thus Calhoun began his public career as an advocate of war with Great Britain.
