But if he aims at some real human end, at the genuine concerns of men, women, and children, if he can make the democracy see and feel that end, the little mechanical devices of suffrage and primaries and tariffs will be dealt with as a craftsman deals with his tools. But to say that we must make tools first, and then begin, is to invert the process of life.
When you judge, your duty is strictly to follow the law. When you legislate, you may properly take facts from common fame. You invert this rule. You are lax in the wrong place, and scrupulous in the wrong place. As judges, you break through the law for the sake of a supposed convenience.
Its first consequence has been to invert the first principle of Democracy, that the will of the majority of numbers shall rule the land.
It is to invert the pyramid and stand it on its point. The same system of belief which produced the tragedy which I have described, in its proper province as the guide of ordinary life, has been the immediate cause of all that is best and greatest in Scottish character. Not long ago I heard a living thinker of some eminence say that he considered Christianity to have been a misfortune.
Canning, by showing off his rhetorical paces, by his 'ambling and lisping and nicknaming God's creatures, cannot invert that order, efface the history of the past, or arrest the progress of the future.

"Rather invert the proposition, my dear count," answered the prince, "and say what do all these wonders prove if I can demonstrate that a single one among them is a juggling trick?

"I'm tired of the end elevation." "Eh?" said Mr. Rumbold, frankly puzzled. "Of all the vertebracious animals man alone raises his face to the sky, O' Man. Well, why invert it?" Rumbold shook his head with a helpless expression. "Don't like so much Arreary Pensy." Rumbold distressed in utter obscurity. "In fact, I'm sick of your turning your back on me, see?" A great light shone on Rumbold.
It is a mistake, common enough on this subject, to suppose that a miniature is more finished than an oil-picture. The miniature is inferior to the oil-picture only because it is less finished, because it cannot follow nature into so many individual and exact particulars. Several of our best artists, who are fond of painting large figures, invert this reasoning.
If the propositions are negative, we must invert their order, thus: Socrates is not a living creature, therefore he is not a man; for if we deny the less, the greater, which includes it, is already denied by implication.
