"Nevertheless, although this indiscretion of yours has turned out well I still maintain that, generally speaking, a silent tongue is a great asset. In nine cases out of ten keeping still does far less harm than talking. Jerry is a shining example of my creed. In all the years he has been here he has never let his tongue outrun his solid judgment.
War brings her no advantage; she cannot pretend to any territorial aggrandizement in Europe; it is the equilibrium between the continental powers that makes her strength, and her first interest was always to maintain it. The campaign of 1711 was everywhere insignificant.
"That the Indians under LaCorne have dug up the hatchet which they buried in the Recollets church, one month ago, and declared against us." "That would be terrible news if true, but it is not true. My last courier from the west, who arrived not an hour ago, has particular information from the Indians about Montreal. They still maintain the neutrality pledged in the Recollets church.
With such views he had no sympathy. The 'Sparta' which had fallen to his lot was the position of a colonial governor, and that position he felt it his duty to 'adorn' and to maintain.
As one reads of Henry's difficulties and misfortunes it seems miraculous that he was able to maintain himself as king at all. Sick at heart, unable to trust any one, and forced to flee from his own subjects, he writes contritely to the pope: "We have sinned against heaven and before thee and are no longer worthy to be called thy son."
Persevere in your task, endeavour by every means at your disposal to add to your numbers, study profoundly the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, devote a special attention to the proper education of your children, and arise to start and maintain constant correspondence with the various Bahá’í centres throughout the East and the West.
Sir, I agree with those who maintain the proposition, and I contend against those who deny it, that the message did mean something; that it meant much; and I maintain, against both, that the declaration effected much good, answered the end designed by it, did great honor to the foresight and the spirit of the government, and that it cannot now be taken back, retracted, or annulled, without disgrace.
The girl had an all but irrepressible desire to cry out, to cover her face like a child. A flash of anger at her inability to maintain her self-control swept over her. "No," she admitted. "I never knew you to break your word." "Very well, then," still no haste, no anger, only the relentless calm which was infinitely more terrible than either.
And the little nun, veiled in the fashion of the Middle Age, lowers her head, to maintain her eyes hidden in the shade of her austere headdress. The door remains open, the window remains open; the house, the things retain their air of absolute confidence, of absolute security, against violations and sacrilege.
"By Heaven, he is false at last!" said Seyton; "I ever feared it!" "He is as true," said Catherine, "as Heaven itself, and that I will maintain." "Be silent, minion," said her brother, "for shame, if not for fear Fellows, put off, and row for your lives!" "Help me, help me on board!" said the deserted Lady Fleming, and that louder than prudence warranted.
