The challenge is to all mankind. Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it. The choice we make for ourselves must be made with a moderation of counsel and a temperateness of judgment befitting our character and our motives as a nation. We must put excited feeling away.
"Oh, dear," she answered, "I must have been terribly tactless to make you so angry." Mr. Lanley drew himself up. "I was not angry," he said. She looked at him with a sort of gentle wonder. "You gave me the impression of being." The very temperateness of the reply made him see that he had been inaccurate. "Of course I was angry," he said. "What I mean is that I don't understand why I was."
But consider the answer which the Scythians gave the Ægyptians, when they contended about the antiquity of their original , "That nature, when she first distinguished countries by different degrees of heat and cold, tempered the bodies of animals, at the same instant, to endure the different situations: that as the climate of Scythia was severer than that of Ægypt, so were the bodies of the Scythians harder, and as capable of enduring the severity of their atmosphere, as the Ægyptians the temperateness of their own."
"They belong," it was said, with the temperateness of true dignity, "to our old families, and that is something, you know, even in America." "It has struck me," an observing male visitor once remarked, "that there are a good many women in Willowfield, and that altogether it has a feminine tone."

"What is the good of entering upon that?" "Yes; do tell me! I want to know." "I hope I should find the way to hold a woman who was mine," he said, with a sort of decisive calmness, but with a great temperateness. "But if you married an ungovernable creature?" "I doubt if anybody is absolutely ungovernable. In the army I have had to deal with some stiff propositions; but there is always a way."
Debussy's strength lies in the methods by which he has approached this ideal of musical temperateness and disinterestedness, and in the way he has placed his genius as a composer at the service of the drama.
The circumstance of the island being so narrow contributes also to its general temperateness, as wind directly or recently from the sea is seldom possessed of any violent degree of heat, usually acquired in passing over large tracts of land in the tropical climates. Frost, snow, and hail I believe to be unknown to the inhabitants.
Both in his conversation and in his writings he had studiously avoided all excess, all shadow of evil or unkindness. His opinions, well chosen and deliberate though they were, were flavoured with a delicate temperateness so distinctive of the man and of his habits. And now, it was all to come to an end!
