And this showed itself by the quietness in which he found his soul plunged. Moral conviction that conviction on which a man acts does not always coincide with the intellectual process. Occasionally it outruns it; occasionally lags behind; and the first sign of its arrival is the cessation of strain.
Bayonets are drawn and rifles loaded. After firing several rounds, comes the command, "Advance." At a bound they are "over the top" and off, heads down; they run very slowly and keep together. A breathless man who outruns his comrades is useless and is soon killed by the enemy.
In those minds only that have a speculative turn, that is, in whom the desire for unity of comprehension outruns practical exigencies, does the conflict become intolerable. In them one or another of these theories tends to swallow all experience, but is commonly incapable of doing so.
The latter is soon beaten by the opposition; the former outruns its ally. The crank, the eccentric, the enthusiast all these run counter to sane social judgment; but the genius leads society to his own point of view, and interprets the social movement so accurately, sympathetically, and with such profound insight that his very singularity gives greater relief to his inspiration.
"Mark the poor wretch, to overshoot his troubles, How he outruns the wind, and with what care He cranks and crosses with a thousand doubles: The many musets through the which he goes Are like a labyrinth to amaze his foes." As soon as the gate was opened, Paul went through mechanically with the others on to the platform, and waited at the bookstall while they changed the paper.

I have no secrets with the Athenians. No matter if the whole city hear what you would address to Pausanias." "It is to complain," said Aristides with calm emphasis, but still in an undertone. "Ay, I doubt it not: the Athenians are eloquent in grumbling." "It was not found so at Plataea," returned Cimon. "Son of Miltiades," said Pausanias loftily, "your wit outruns your experience.
If a lawyer, or a soldier, or a parson, outruns his income, and does not pay his bills, he must go to gaol; and an author must go, too. If an author fuddles himself, I don't know why he should be let off a headache the next morning, if he orders a coat from the tailor's, why he shouldn't pay for it." "I would give him more money to buy coats," said Pen, smiling.
If a lawyer, or a soldier, or a parson outruns his income, and does not pay his bills, he must go to gaol; and an author must go too.
