The unchanging uniformity of Nature's course proves her holiness her willing, unvarying obedience to the Divine law. 'The invariableness of Nature bespeaks Holiness as its cause. Which is likelier: 1.
He was always good in the "silly ass" type of part, and no one could say of him that he was playing himself! Desdemona is not counted a big part by actresses, but I loved playing it. Some nights I played it beautifully. My appearance was right I was such a poor wraith of a thing. But let there be no mistake it took strength to act this weakness and passiveness of Desdemona's.
Buck was glad to be gone, and though the work was hard he found he did not particularly despise it. He was surprised at the eagerness which animated the whole team and which was communicated to him; but still more surprising was the change wrought in Dave and Sol-leks. They were new dogs, utterly transformed by the harness. All passiveness and unconcern had dropped from them.
This passiveness seems to have seized him at other sittings, for in 1785 he wrote to a friend who asked him to be painted, "In for a penny, in for a Pound, is an old adage.

Davenant had not arrived at Newcastle Sept. 26, but was there Oct. 3. Perturbed by the Queen's difference from him on the matter he had most at heart, and saddened by the failure of his own schemings in opposite directions, Charles appears to have sunk for a time into a state of sullen passiveness, varied by thoughts of abdication or escape. By December, however, he had again roused himself.
Did it not have the devotion of a faithful servant; did it not have a quality which we should admire all the more, because it had the virtue of devoting itself in silence, without selfish interest, and with the passiveness of faith? Is there not something sublime and radiant in the thing that acts toward man, even as man acts toward God?
Thereafter the Lords Proprietors relapsed into passiveness, commissioning a new governor now and then and occasionally scolding the colonists for disobedience. The progress of settlement was allowed to take what course it might. The fundamental constitutions recognized the institution of negro slavery, and some of the first Barbadians may have carried slaves with them to Carolina.
