McGowan, if you think any man can influence my father, you do not know him. I dislike Mr. Means, maybe because he is so preachy. But he cannot influence Father." "I wish I could believe that!" "You must believe it. You are letting your imagination color your judgment." "I should like to believe anything you tell me, but I can't believe anything else than that Mr.
I had the rather uncomfortable feeling on the way home that I had been preachy; and the moment you became preachy begin to build up barriers between yourself and your friends: but that's a defect of character I've never been able, quite, to overcome.
Then, again, unless a man is blinded by passion or some kind of infatuation he knows that the chief need of his life is a home lighted and warmed by an unwavering love. With these his happiness and success are secured, as far as they can be in this world, unless he is a brute and a fool, and has no right to exist at all. But I am growing preachy.
We, also, have our Juggernaut it crushes and mangles us, but there is no ecstasy in it." "Then what would you have us do?" Nejdanov almost screamed at him. "Would you have us write preachy novels?" Paklin folded his arms and put his head on one side. "You, at any rate, could write novels. You have a decidedly literary turn of mind. All right, I won't say anything about it.
That was the end of Agnes Glenn. She was a splendid character, Force. She did not betray you. She stuck by you to the very end. She protected you a great deal better than you protected her." "See here, Bingle, I don't like your tone. It sounds preachy. You don't know anything about life, so you can't understand.
We owe our efforts to instruct their children, and to elevate and guide them. Lillie, I feel that it is wrong for us to use wealth merely as a means of self-gratification. We ought to labor for those who labor for us. We ought to deny ourselves, and make some sacrifices of ease for their good." "You dear old preachy creature!" said Lillie. "How good you must be!
"That you've made a mistake and you aren't big enough to take the blame. My uncle says that making a mistake isn't such a very grave thing in itself, it's human nature. The trouble comes in not trying to correct it." Mary looked out of the window, a frown on her face. "You'd better not be so preachy," she said. "Everybody hates a goody-goody here!" Blue Bonnet laughed. "Don't worry," she said.
Now, THIS book is a wonderful picture of Florence in old times, and the famous people who really lived are painted in it, and it has a true and clean moral that we can all see, and one feels wiser and better for reading it. I do wish you'd leave those trashy things and try something really good." "I hate George Eliot, so awfully wise and preachy and dismal!
It's fine to hear her talk when she's inspired not a bit preachy, you know she's certainly far enough from that but more like reading some beautiful poem you can but half understand, or listening to music that makes you wish you were better, whether you take in its full meaning or not." This was a long speech for Lady Alice. Her mother looked at her in amazement.
These men who pretend to be charitable, who put on airs, who go to mass, who make presents to the priesthood, preachy, preachy, in their skullcaps, and who think themselves above us, and who come for the purpose of humiliating us, and to bring us 'clothes, as they say! old duds that are not worth four sous! And bread! That's not what I want, pack of rascals that they are, it's money! Ah! money!
