But he was hardhearted and unrelenting, and declared with an oath that made her ears tingle that she should never leave the cotton-field till she died, and there was no power in heaven or earth that could make him change his determination.
These millionaires, popularly accused of being so hardhearted, were always ready with their purses to help those who appealed to their charity.
They are the words of a hardhearted and lowminded man, unable to conceive any laceration of the affections for which a place or a pension would not be a full compensation. That section of the dissenting body which was favourable to the King's new policy had from the first been a minority, and soon began to diminish.
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

There's nobody to mourn for him." "Is he a pauper, then?" "O no! he was immensely rich." "And had he no relations no friends?" "For relations, he had a nephew, who inherits all his property. The young dog will make the money fly, I tell you. As for friends, he had none. The poor dreaded him the good despised him; for he was a hardhearted, selfish, griping man.
Nor could any enemy of his who then saw him in this case be so hardhearted, but would have commiserated his fortune, while the women drew along their infant children and left their own country, and their friends in prison, with tears in their eyes, and sad lamentations, and in expectation of nothing but what was of a melancholy nature.
