What is your opinion? That is the highest self-conquest, the primeval type of manhood, the struggle and victory without a parallel!" "Well, drinking too deep can happen to a fellow ... I don't say no," said the nephew very quietly. "But your way of putting it strikes me as very grand."
But meanwhile, by alternations of Hebraism and Hellenism, of a man's intellectual and moral impulses, of the effort to see things as they really are, and the effort to win peace by self-conquest, the human spirit proceeds; and each of these two forces has its appointed hours of culmination and seasons of rule.
Haughton had revived recollections of bygone days memory linking memory in painful chain-gay talk with his younger schoolfellow that wild Charlie, now in his grave his own laborious youth, resolute aspirings, secret sorrows and the strong man felt the want of the solitary self-commune, without which self-conquest is unattainable. Great kingdoms grew out of small beginnings. Mrs.
With the intuition of love, he had read the processes of her self-conquest at the time of Dick's marriage. But here was a new possibility.
But to his credit be it said, that he vigorously resisted this natural disappointment, and by degrees schooled himself to look cheerfully on the path imposed on his duty, and sanctioned by the manly sense that was at the core of his character.

For this reason it has found more favour with European readers than the detached and philosophic texts which simply preach self-conquest and aloofness.
The girl who does that has left the riddle of home life unsolved: she was meant to wrestle with that difficulty till she wrung from it the blessing, the peace which comes only from self-conquest and acceptance of all the circumstances of her life. Have any of you the lurking thought, "I was born by no choice of my own: those who brought me into the world owe duty to me, not I to them?"
But the modes of suffering from the evil, and the separate modes of suffering from the effort of self-conquest, together with errors of judgment incident to such states of transitional torment, are all nearly allied, practically analogous as regards the remedies, even if characteristically distinguished to the inner consciousness.
And the especial theme she selected was the grace and beauty of Lady Castleton! A pressing invitation to spend some days at the castle had been cordially given to all. It was accepted only by myself: I wrote word that I would come. Yes, I longed to prove the strength of my own self-conquest, and accurately test the nature of the feelings that had disturbed me.
