The question "Does civilization civilize?" is a fine example of petitio principii, and decides itself in the affirmative; for civilization must needs do that from the doing of which it has its name.
Woe for the unlearned mother's son, who has made him great with such a training, that Rome's weal and his, Rome's greatness and his, must needs contend together that 'Rome's happy victory' must needs be the blaze that shall darken him for ever!
But none too big, mebby, for the nub on top of the gate of the World's Fair. That needs to be mighty in size, and of pure gold, to correspond with what is on the inside of the gate. But never wuz there such a gorgeous gate-way before, unless it wuz the gate-way of Paradise.
Cream certainly needs a spoon, and I have often heard the cry, 'To-morrow please, when ice-cream has been mentioned." Hunne spun round with delight. "No, no!" he shouted.

"There's nothing to worry about," he assured her. "Nothing broken. It's only the igniting system that needs adjustment." Although this was so much Greek to Honora, she was reassured. Trixton Brent inspired confidence.
As he put it to himself, quoting an old by-word, 'What the eye don't see the heart don't grieve. It scarcely needs to be added that the heart did grieve; but this was his way, albeit a strange one, of worshipping what he had lost.
In the contemplation of these things the vision of heaven will shape itself in our hearts, giving at once a touchstone to judge the world about us, and an inspiration by which to fashion to our needs whatever is not incapable of serving as a stone in the sacred temple.
