In the long-run, in these encounters of will, the woman has every advantage. The constant dropping that wears away the stone has passed into a proverb. Lillie meant to go to New York, and have a long campaign at the Follingsbees.
Rockefeller's skilled labour at getting too rich, to point out mildly that he has done something that in the long-run he would not have wanted to do; that he has lacked the social imagination for a great permanently successful business. His sin has consisted in his not taking pains to act accurately and permanently, in his not concentrating his mind and finding out what he really wanted to do.
At all events, no harm was done. Margaret would play the game properly now, and though Helen disapproved of her sister's methods, she knew that the Basts would benefit by them in the long-run. "Mr. Wilcox is so illogical," she explained to Leonard, who had put his wife to bed, and was sitting with her in the empty coffee-room.
'I am sorry to say that I differ from you; I lean to my first notion still that Mr. Mr. Manston is most desirable in tone and bearing, and even specifically; I think he would suit me best in the long-run. Mr. Nyttleton looked out of the window at the whitened wall of the court.

And it might be better, in the long-run, if this policy were always followed. It might be supposed that native missionaries would prove more indulgent, but the reverse is found to be the case. The new broom sweeps clean; and the white missionary of to-day is often embarrassed by the bigotry of his native coadjutor. What else should we expect?
last stronghold, can neither advance into more exposed positions above, nor fall back into drier and barer ground below, nor hold its own in the long-run where it is, under present conditions; and a little further drying of the climate, which must once have been much moister than now, would precipitate its doom.
