"Agnes, beloved, precious as thou art in these hours of anxiety, dear, dearer than ever, in thy clinging, changeless love, yet tempt me not selfishly to retain thee by my side, when liberty, and life, and joy await thee beyond these fated walls. Thy path is secured; all that can assist, can accelerate thy flight waits but thy approval.
No, she confessed frankly, she was hurt with herself for neglecting her old friend so selfishly and for so long a time; his love gave him claims on her consideration, at least, and she had forgotten that and him, and had run after strange gods and allowed others to come in and take her place, and to give him the sympathy and help which she should have been the first to offer, and which would have counted more when coming from her than from any one else.
"Come! come! saftly! put your feet down saftly, for Guy's got great white owls that watch for him, and they hoot from the old tree when the horses are coming. Saftly! saftly!" There is an idiocy that does not lack the vulgar faculty of mere shrewdness that can calculate selfishly, and plan coolly in short, can show itself cunning, whenever it has a motive.
For though I fain would die rather than wed, I know that life is not given to a man to live selfishly, nor is God satisfied to have it wasted by any one who hath sworn to be His knight and servant. Therefore even so let it be! I give all my unvalued existence to her who doth consider it valuable, and with all my soul I pray that I may make so gentle and trustful a creature happy.
But the forefathers of the Argives and Thebans, they either joined the barbarian's army, or did not oppose it; and therefore he knows that both will selfishly embrace their advantage, without considering the common interest of the Greeks. He thought then, if he chose your friendship, it must be on just principles; if he attached himself to them he should find auxiliaries of his ambition.
He never told me about his affairs as he ought. I think he must have left near a hundred thousand dollars." Godfrey's eyes sparkled. "That's a pile of money," he said. "It goes to me, don't it?" "To us," said Mrs. Preston. "A woman doesn't need so much money as a man," said Godfrey, selfishly. "You are not a man yet," said his mother, dryly. "Your father may have left a will.
'You know how willing I am to help you, Cytherea, she added reproachfully. 'You know it. Why are you so obstinate then? Why do you selfishly bar the clear, honourable, and only sisterly path which leads out of this difficulty? I cannot, on my conscience, countenance you; no, I cannot.
But look an engineer out here the other day died a horrible death to save the lives of a scant fifty people their mere physical lives died out of that simple sense of oneness which makes us selfishly fear for the suffering of others died without any hope of superior exaltation hereafter. Death of this sort is common.
It was no longer the forest of bark and tinder with which the chiefs of this world had to deal, but, to adapt the Russian proverb itself, "with the dark forest of the hearts of men." How much more baffling and intangible this new forest, and how deeply serious a business now for those who were still thoughtlessly and selfishly juggling with human affairs.
"But did you not just admit that the world was benefited by all active labour, even if the worker toiled selfishly? How, then, can the labour be misapplied?" "Can you not see that, if every man worked with the love of benefiting the world in his heart, more good would be effected than if he worked only for himself?" "Oh, yes."
