There was little comfort in noting, for one's private delectation, that Indiana spoke of her husband as "Mr.
Let none presume to measure the irregularities of Michel Angelo and Socrates by village scales. In his eighth book of the Republic, he throws a little mathematical dust in our eyes.

It was an affirmation that, appearances notwithstanding, neither superiorities nor excellences of human character had any real existence. Rudeness is democratic. The contempt for efficiency is carried far even in the liberal professions and in professional customs.

As fast as the faculties are multiplied, so fast does it become possible for the several members of a species to have various kinds of superiorities over one another.
The Irish Protestant rioters are at least immeasurably finer fellows than any of their brethren in England. They have the two enormous superiorities: first, that the Irish Protestant rioters really believe in Protestant theology; and second, that the Irish Protestant rioters do really riot.
