It is a primal function for which Mind, wisely foreseeing the consequences of too much Nature, long since created laws both civil and social to curb. In the Latin races the conscious war between the brain above and the sub-ego below, with the latter's constant reminders that mind is a mere excrescence, often warped or ill-directed, at the apex of the perfect body, is almost negligible.
Sir Felix fiercely resented the clergyman's well-meant but ill-directed interference, insulting him so grossly and so publicly, that the families in the neighbourhood sent letters of indignant remonstrance to the Park, and even the tenants of the Blackwater property expressed their opinion as strongly as they dared.
Fortunately they made rotten shooting, and one ill-directed hail of lead screamed on the far side, causing the horse to plunge toward me. The Armenian took me by the uninjured foot and flung me into the saddle, and I left up-pass with a parting volley scattering all around, and both hands locked into the horse's mane.
I did all in my power to warn General San Martin of the consequences of ambition so ill-directed, but the warning was neglected, if not despised.
In such cases, the most charming elocution, the finest fancy, the brightest blaze of genius, and the noblest burst of thoughts, call for louder vengeance, and damn them to lasting infamy and shame.

"I feel the strength to remove a mountain! Do we not work for our lives?" The mariner bent forward, and looked into the other's face. These frantic and ill-directed efforts came from the Westphalian student. "Thy star has disappeared," he rejoined, smiling for Maso had smiled in scenes far more imposing, than even that with which he was now surrounded.
To my astonishment the signals were disregarded, and for reasons which will presently be adduced no efforts were made to second my operations. For some time the action was continued by the Pedro Primiero alone, but to my mortification the fire of the flagship was exceedingly ill-directed.
The emblem is more appropriate than you are aware of boasting of what you cannot perform grasping at what you cannot attain an emblem of arrogance and weakness of ill-directed ambition and vulgar pretension.
