Such as will not be taught through eye or ear, must be taught through the skin, and that is generally a long as well as a painful process. All Cosmo's superiority came of his having faith in those who were higher than he. True, he had not yet been tried; but the trials of a pure, honest, teachable youth, must, however severe, be very different from those of one unteachable.
Missionaries rather like him, because he is very teachable up to a certain point, fond of learning new tricks if not too difficult, and without that habit of logical and consecutive thought which makes the real Arab so difficult to tackle in argument. No remarks on Somaliland would be complete without some mention of the Mullah.
"So you teach the kids their A B C's, do you? And you just out of them yourself! How many scholars have you?" "Fourteen." "And they all love teacher, of course. Would you take me for a scholar, Miss Going-On-Eighteen?" "No!" she flamed. "You'd find me right teachable. And I would promise to love you, too." Color came and went in her face beneath the brow. How dared he mock her so!
The Fan is full of fire, temper, intelligence and go; very teachable, rather difficult to manage, quick to take offence, and utterly indifferent to human life. I ought to say that other people, who should know him better than I, say he is a treacherous, thievish, murderous cannibal.
"And made a good choice of an attendant for you in Alice Wood?" "You have indeed. She is teachable and handy." "I shall come up and help you to teach sometimes," she added. "It will be a change for me to visit you now and then; and I like a change. Mr. Rivers, I have been so gay during my stay at S-. Last night, or rather this morning, I was dancing till two o'clock.
"No, papa, I think not; and I think you are not justified in saying bad. I believe he is a very good boy." "You do?" "Yes; full of mischief as a boy can be, but very, very affectionate." "Yes. I think he is," assented the doctor. "I think he will be very teachable." "Humph!" "And it was plain to see that he was touched to the heart with grief at our anger." "Or is it all his artfulness!"
Tact, which is the sure and quick judgment of what is suitable and agreeable in society, is likewise one of those delicate and subtle qualities or a combination of qualities which is not very easily defined, and therefore not teachable by fixed precepts.
This poor woman died young, and left one little girl about four years old. Nietfong used to come up to day-school when she was old enough, and in 1858, when I was so happy as to have an English governess for my Mab, I took the little Chinese girl to live with us and join Mab in her lessons. She was quite a little lady, so gentle, teachable, and well mannered.
What he had said to Gotama: his, the Buddha's, treasure and secret was not the teachings, but the unexpressable and not teachable, which he had experienced in the hour of his enlightenment it was nothing but this very thing which he had now gone to experience, what he now began to experience. Now, he had to experience his self.
And since they were of an imitative and teachable nature, they would daily point out to each other the results of their building, boasting of the novelties in it; and thus, with their natural gifts sharpened by emulation, their standards improved daily. At first they set up forked stakes connected by twigs and covered these walls with mud.
