Humiliations I have undergone, and death and immurement under circumstances of great severity. Falls into Hell have been mine, and great tortures in the domains of Yama.

In this world I have repeatedly undergone all those afflictions that flow from a perception of all pairs of opposites.
She would teach Bill Nairne a lesson undreamt of in his philosophy that all the nonsense about old maids, their humiliations, their forlorn condition, and their desperate welcoming of late offers was wholly false. She selected the smallest sheet of note-paper from the packet lying beside the exercises in her desk, and wrote:
This friend may have transferred his kindness to England. How will foreign nations behave?

"You believe in the existence of that sentiment, then?" the Prime Minister enquired. "Any one short of a very insular Englishman," the Prince replied, "would have realised it long ago.

Everyone expected the Ministry at once to face the question of dissolution or resignation; but Melbourne was determined to cling to office as long as possible, in spite of the growing difficulties and even humiliations of his position.
