You seem to go from the kitchen by easy and natural transition to regions beyond the stars, and to pass without hesitancy from the companionship of us poor mortals into a Presence that is to me supremely awful." "Thee doesn't understand, Richard. The little faith I have I take with me to the kitchen, and I'm not afraid of my Father in heaven because he is so great and I'm so little.
An earnest, self-reliant woman cannot be patronized, in the sense in which you employ the term." She could not forbear smiling. The thought of being under patronage was, to her, supremely ridiculous. "You do not want my friendship, then?" "I doubt whether you have any to bestow. You seem to have no love for anything," replied Beulah coldly. "Oh, you wrong me!" cried Cornelia passionately.
But we will answer, that the world necessarily having great defects, it would have been better suited to the nature of a good God not to create a world which He could not render completely happy. If God, who was, according to you, supremely happy before the world was created, had continued to be supremely happy in the created world, why did He not remain in peace? Why must man suffer?
In this the whole population was interested, while the India navigation, although vital to the well-being of the nation, was not yet universally recognised as so supremely important, and was declared by a narrow-minded minority to concern the provinces of Holland and Zeeland alone. All were silently agreed, therefore, to defer the religious question to the last.
Descartes' "Treatise on Man" is a sketch of human physiology, in which a bold attempt is made to explain all the phenomena of life, except those of consciousness, by physical reasonings.

But to have clothed my thoughts in words during his gracious mood would have been supremely unethical.
The air was full of the magic fluid. It stirred his pulses like a draught of champagne. Then his eyes returned to the rink, and almost immediately singled out the best skater there. A man in a white sweater, dark, handsome, magnificently made, supremely sure of himself, darted with the swift grace of a swallow through the throng. His absolute confidence and splendid physique made him conspicuous.
He had already spoken strongly about his friend's offence, and she could render life supremely nasty for them both particularly Puffin if she made the Major agree that he could not, if truly sorry, hold further intercourse with him. There would be no more golf, no more diaries.
As for the Vicomtesse, she wore an ingenuous air of detachment, and seemed supremely unconscious of the volcano by her side. "So, Madame," cried the Governor at length, after I know not what repressions, "you have come here in behalf of that of Auguste de St. Gre!"
Gladstone himself, with a monstrous majority behind him, revelling in the old splendour of speech that not seventy summers nor six years' sulking had made less; Parnell, deadly, mysterious, with his crew of wordy peasants that were to set all Saxon things at naught the activity of these two men alone would have made this Parliament supremely stimulating throughout the land.
