At the next neap, perhaps, they will be able to mend the dyke, and pump the water out; and begin again, beaten but not conquered, the same everlasting fight with wind and wave which their forefathers have waged for now 800 years. He who sees as I have seen a sight like that, will repine no more that the primaeval forest is cut down, the fair mere drained.
"Go home, miserable derider of the virtue you cannot understand; go to your luxurious and costly home; go and repine that human nature is not measured by your mangled and crippled laws: amidst men, yet more fallen than I am, hope to select your victim; amidst prisons, and hovels, and roofless sheds; amidst rags and destitution, and wretches made mad by hunger, hope that you may find a villain.
Nor was he the only invalid; for little Brian grew pale and listless in the mists that enveloped the outpost constantly now, until finally the doctor decreed that his mother, much as she hated parting from her husband and her home, must take the children to Darjeeling. And he ordered the subaltern to go too. Frank did not repine, after Mrs.
"How understandest thou attach himself to God?" That what God wills, he should will also; that what God wills not, neither should he will. "How then may this come to pass?" By considering the movements of God, and His administration. And dost thou that hast received all from another's hands, repine and blame the Giver, if He takes anything from thee?
Furnival was a rising man, and now that he had a pretty daughter, it was natural that the young Staveleys and Sophia Furnival should know each other.

Who can tell how she suffers I cannot it seems to have quickened and enriched her love and tenderness; she seems to have a secret that I cannot come near to sharing; she does not repine, rebel, resist; she lives in some region of unapproachable patience and love. She goes daily to the grave, but I cannot visit it or think of it. The sight of the church-tower on my walks gives me a throb of dismay.
Ask any one of them the question now, and he will tell you that an immortality, each, in his own wig-wam, and with his weight of years and infirmity upon him, would satisfy all his expectations. If they look at the vigor of their young, it is to recollect that they themselves once were so, and to repine at the recollection.
Every new tie opens new channels by which grief can invade us; but, you will say, by which joy also can flow in; granted! But in human life is there not more grief than joy? What is it that renders the balance even? What makes the staple of our happiness, endearing to us the life at which we should otherwise repine?
Oh, no! there can be no bright spot in affliction like this; there can be no bright ray to gild this night of sorrow. Ah! thou erring mortal, repine not.
In a land where women wait upon themselves, and have none to attend to their wants, or forestall their wishes, they very soon acquire an extremely good notion of how to look after themselves; and, since they have never known a state of society in which women are treated as they are amongst ourselves, they do not repine, and seem, for the most part, to be sufficiently bright, light-hearted, and happy.
