At the worst these weaknesses are but the stepping-stones in the river, passing over which you shall come to immortal vigor, immortal fire, immortal beauty. All along the western sky flames and glows the auroral light of another life. The banner of victory waves right over your dungeon of defeat. By the golden gateway of the sunsetting, "Through the dear might of Him who walked the waves,"
First stood a chance meeting upon the moor, Elspeth walking from the village with a basket upon her arm and the laird riding home after business in the nearest considerable town. He dismounted; he walked beside her to the stepping-stones before the farm. The second time he went to White Farm, and she and Jenny, with Merran to help, were laying linen to bleach upon the sun-washed hillside.
Cardinal followed, giving a sharp chip like a loud Sparrow call. They both hopped off as if they were not half sure their freedom was real. "I think they might have sung to us," whispered Dodo. "Too soon," said the Doctor; "but I'm sure that we have not seen or heard the last of our Cardinals." "Hist!" said Nat, "they are taking a bath in the brook this side of the stepping-stones."
The war with Britain and the conspiracy of Georges Cadoudal and Pichegru, were the stepping-stones by which Bonaparte ascended from the consulate to the empire. The president, Francois de Neufchateau, expressed himself in these terms: "Citizen first consul, you are founding a new era, but you ought to perpetuate it: splendour is nothing without duration.
"I think the one who owns it is the stranger who is seen in the wild places hereabouts the man whom the neighbors call the Hunter-King," she said to Sheen.

But the ideas marched on, the ideas marched on, just as though men's brains were no more than stepping-stones, just as though some great brain in which we are all little cells and corpuscles was thinking them!...

"Are we not looking up too high, Captain Spike? The Stepping-Stones are ahead of us, sir." "I know that very well, Mulford. But it's nearly high water, and the brig's in light trim, and we may rub and go.
That such a man as Tregear should make an attack upon him and select his rank, his wealth, and his child as the stepping-stones by which he intended to rise! What could be so mean as that a man should seek to live by looking out for a wife with money?
"All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies." She set faith's foot down on those sure stepping-stones; and she opened her aunt's door and looked in with a face that was neither troubled nor afraid. "Ant. He misses not much. Seb. No, he doth but mistake the truth totally."
Soldier, priest, diplomatist; gallant, avaricious, cunning; Aramis had never taken the good things of this life except as stepping-stones to rise to giddier ends. Generous in spirit, if not lofty in heart, he never did ill but for the sake of shining even yet more brilliantly.
