This rightness was just a vulgar "fluke" there were lots of words really clever that were of no use at all. Peter said, laughing, that he supposed any words he should try to produce would be sure to be too clever; yet only three weeks after his first encounter with Mrs. He was satisfied of the fineness of her musical gift it had the touching note. The touching note was in her person as well.
It suggests to us, that the essence of much sin is conservatism, or atavism: that it is rooted in the tendency of the instinctive life to go on, in changed circumstances, acting in the same old way. Virtue, perfect rightness of correspondence with our present surroundings, perfect consistency of our deeds with our best ideas, is hard work.
But a failure of imagination may occasionally issue in paradoxical rightness, for the imagination relies on the common run of events which the peculiar case may chance to contradict. As a fact, I do not think that Elsa ever did change greatly. I began to be sorry for her as well as for myself.
Buck nodded his head. "Maybe I'm guessin'. I ain't sayin'. But wal, you can't be sure this ways off. Y' see, Cæsar has a heap o' sense, an' his saddle-bags are loaded down with a heap o' good food. An' you're needin' that same as me." The rightness of Buck's conjecture was proved before evening, but not without long and painful effort.
From such an error it is the task of history above all to free us. For it records the ideals and doubts of earlier ages as a perennial challenge to the coming time. The rightness of this attitude admits of proof in terms of the double tradition to which Adam Smith gave birth. On the one hand he is the founder of the classic political economy.
What was this rightness that lurked below cruelty? What was the inspiration of this pressure of spite, this anger that was aroused by ineffective gentleness and kindliness? Was it indeed an altogether evil thing; was it not rather an impulse, blind as yet, but in its ultimate quality as good as mercy, greater perhaps in its ultimate values than mercy? This idea had been gathering in Mr.
The old-fashioned Southern Senator and statesman sat in his chair at his desk with a look of self-esteem that had its value. None doubted. All were great men; some, no doubt, were greater than others; but all were statesmen and all were supported, lifted, inspired by the moral certainty of rightness.
And so that before described will not be yet Good Counsel, but the Rightness must be with reference to what is expedient; and you must have a proper end in view, pursue it in a right manner and right time. Once more. One may deliberate well either generally or towards some particular End.
As I have said, certain poems are signed with Cynewulf's name; and there are others which are with more or less probability of rightness attributed to him on grounds of likeness of subject, likeness of style, similar greatness of treatment. About Cynewulf himself we know, I may say, nothing except what we gather from his work.
Why, therefore, should not the secret of nature's invariableness be, not passiveness, but rightness? 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.
