It the waste was grimy and anything but fragrant, as different from the dark lock which the wind had blown against my face as anything well could be, but the hurry with which I discarded it proves my imbecility at that time. Confound the girl! she was a nuisance.
It actually gave me pain, after a while, to behold his wretched imbecility. He hung upon my utterance with the trembling suspense of one whose eye has become enchained with the fascinating gaze of the serpent.
To lie fettered, soul and body, at the feet of authority wielded by a priesthood in its last stage of corruption, and monarchy almost reduced to imbecility, was the lot of the chivalrous, genial; but much oppressed Spaniard.
The last two words were added apologetically. "Where did you get her?" asked Thaddeus. "At an Imbecility Office?" "I don't quite know what you mean an Imbecility Office?" "Only my pet, private, and particular name for it, my dear. You would speak of it as an Intelligence Office, no doubt," was the reply.
"The key to the age may be this, or that, or the other, as the young orators describe; the key to all ages is, Imbecility; imbecility in the vast majority of men at all times, and, even in heroes, in all but certain eminent moments; victims of gravity, custom, and fear. This gives force to the strong, that the multitude have no habit of self-reliance or original action.
These are faults that do not attach to old age as such, but to a sluggish, spiritless, and sleepy old age. Young men are more frequently wanton and dissolute than old men; but yet, as it is not all young men that are so, but the bad set among them, even so senile folly usually called imbecility applies to old men of unsound character, not to all.

It's a half lie. But listen. I told you there were two urges two great life-urges, didn't I? There may be more. But it comes on me so strongly, now, that there are two: love, and power.
Seignebos is no doubt right, my dear friends," wrote Jacques. "I have but too good reasons to be sure that Cocoleu's imbecility is partly assumed, and that his evidence has been prompted by others. Still I must beg you will take no steps that would lead to another medical investigation. The slightest imprudence may ruin me.
No audience whose rights were defended as Thomas defended those of his Washington audience ever resented the defence. "No," responded Cleopatra, briskly; "the same imbecility prevents." "Very well; then such an audience plainly needs a strong and resolute leadership; and that is precisely what Thomas supplied.
"Do you think so?" the magistrate said. "You must remember that she is not yet sixty, and I do not think that it is a case of senile imbecility, but that she is quite conscious of the crime that has been committed." "Then why should she smile?" "Because she is pleased at what she has done." "Oh! no; you are really too subtle!"
