Yet, shrink as I will, no other but those sad recollections will present themselves to my mind. I call them sad when I think of the end of it all. However I am not going to moralize. If my dear brother's life and death does not speak for itself, no words of mine will teach you what may be learnt from it.
For meanwhile I had been forcibly impressed with the following thought. Suppose a youth to have been carefully brought up at home, and every temptation kept out of his way: suppose him to have been in appearance virtuous, amiable, religious: suppose, farther, that at the age of twenty-one he goes out into the world, and falls into sin by the first temptation: how will a Calvinistic teacher moralize over such a youth? Will he not say: "Behold a proof of the essential depravity of human nature! See the affinity of man for sin! How fair and deceptive was this young man's virtue, while he was sheltered from temptation; but oh! how rotten has it proved itself!" Undoubtedly, the Calvinist would and must so moralize. But it struck me, that if I substituted the name of Adam for the youth, the argument proved the primitive corruption of Adam's nature. Adam fell by the first temptation: what greater proof of a fallen nature have I ever given? or what is it possible for any one to give? I thus discerned that there was
They are, for the most part, naturally cool, phlegmatic, and crafty, and, by a long habit of dissimulation, have gained an absolute dominion over the hasty passions of the heart; so that they engage with manifest advantage over the impatience and impetuosity of a warm undesigning temper, like that of our young gentleman, who, when he was heated with wine, misled by example, invited on one hand, and defied on the other, forgot all his maxims of caution and sobriety, and, plunging into the reigning folly of the place, had frequent occasions to moralize in the morning upon the loss of the preceding night.
It makes me think of a story I read once where the man complained that everything he ever wanted in this world was either expensive, indigestible or immoral." "Well, get on the hike!" laughed George. "You can stand here and moralize till the cows come home, and it won't move you half an inch in the direction of the mine!"
"Kenelm," he said, entering into his customary dialogue with that self, "it becomes you, forsooth, to moralize about the honour of races which have no affinity with you. Son of Sir Peter Chillingly, look at home. Are you quite sure that you have not said or done or looked a something that may bring trouble to the hearth on which you are received as guest?
We have a history, a complication of incidents to relate that caused certain effects to develope themselves, and it is our only aim to cause others to moralize to lead inquiring minds into certain directions by revealing something of the heretofore unwritten past.
"I was just tickled to see you hadn't changed a hair. Now if you'd only moralize on square pegs in round holes, I'd hear again the birds singing in the elms by the dear old churchyard." Welton grinned, a trifle shamefacedly. Nevertheless he went on with the development of his philosophy. "Well," he asserted stoutly, "that's just what Bob was when I got there.
He spoke no more, but she did not regret it, for she could not moralize in such a scene, and the sight and the dancing were pleasure enough. Guy, in the meantime, had met an Oxford acquaintance, who introduced him to his sisters pretty girls whose father Mr. Edmonstone knew, but who was rather out of the Hollywell visiting distance.
An artist's opinion ought to be: Faith in his art, in his work; and his only way of success is toil when nature has given him the sacred fire." "Let us get away," said Bixiou. "Leon is beginning to moralize." "But that man was sincere," said Gazonal, still stupefied. "Perfectly sincere," replied Bixiou; "as sincere as the king of barbers just now." "He is mad!" repeated Gazonal.
"Now at once that is I don't know," answered Jefferson embarrassed. "The fact is my faculties are numbed I seem to have lost my power of thinking. Father," he exclaimed, "you see what a wreck you have made of our lives!" "Now, don't moralize," replied his father testily, "as if your own selfishness in desiring to possess that girl wasn't the mainspring of all your actions!"
