Nor is the Purvapakshin right when maintaining that, as the word 'ether' satisfies the demand for a special cause of the world, all other texts are to be interpreted in accordance herewith. The words, 'All these beings indeed spring from the ether only, merely give expression to something generally known, and statements of this nature presuppose other means of knowledge to prove them.
Here also does reason presuppose the existence of the systematic unity of various powers inasmuch as particular laws of nature are subordinate to general laws; and parsimony in principles is not merely an economical principle of reason, but an essential law of nature.
Such preparations presuppose, in the first place, a long life, the full and complete term of years appointed to man and how few reach it! and even if it be reached, it is still too short for all the plans that have been made; for to carry them out requites more time than was thought necessary at the beginning.
"And, when he told me how poor Bill Gregg had come clear across the continent " "No wonder you were touched, my dear. New Yorkers won't travel so far, will they? Not for a girl, I mean." "Hardly! But Ronicky Doone made it such a sad affair that I promised I'd go across and see Bill Gregg." "Not in his room?" "I knew you wouldn't let him come to see me here." "Never presuppose what I'll do.
At bottom, everything depends upon the presence or absence of one single element in the soul hope. All the activity of man, all his efforts and all his enterprises, presuppose a hope in him of attaining an end. Once kill this hope and his movements become senseless, spasmodic, and convulsive, like those of some one falling from a height.
I could not presuppose that you would shun all society, and be as much of a hermit here as under the vines of Como."
It is evident, at the first view, that we cannot presuppose the reality of this transcendental object, by means of the conceptions of reality, substance, causality, and so on, because these conceptions cannot be applied to anything that is distinct from the world of sense.
Neither does it lie in the form of the photoplay that the story must be told in that insipid, flat, uninspired fashion. Nor is it necessary in order to reach the millions. To appeal to the intelligence does not mean to presuppose college education. Moreover the differentiation has already begun.
Unlimited power is a trust too arduous for any mortal, for it should presuppose perfect knowledge, all-penetrating intelligence, boundless experience, and the mercy which is born of these for there is a bastard brother of mercy which is of the parentage of ignorance and cowardice, which shrinks from the sight of suffering from mere pusillanimity of the nerves, and does not recognize that suffering may be mercifully inflicted or permitted and beneficently endured.
The beauty of this condescension to literature of which we speak is that it has that quality of spontaneity that does not presuppose either a capacity or a call. There is no mystery about the craft. One resolves to write a book, as he might to take a journey or to practice on the piano, and the thing is done. Everybody can write, at least everybody does write.
