The wise human father does not so much shield his child from small pains, but encourages him to get wisdom from them for the future, tries to teach him endurance and courage. Pain is necessary as an element in education, possibly there is no evolution possible without it. The father may regret it, but, if he is wise, knows that it must be.
To see men lying dead on the ground is, so to say, nothing. One gets used to it. But to see them amputated, and to see them lying in bed suffering, often acutely, from dreadful wounds, or horrible diseases dysentery, typhus, small-pox that is the thing which tries the nerves of all but the doctors and the trained nurses.
He was very restless and irritable, and had a queer habit of twiddling his thumbs backward and forward whenever his hands were unoccupied. "How do, Joseph?" exclaimed he, jumping up. "Come to take that berth I offered you? No? Well, well, what a fool a man can be if he tries! Why, bless me, this is young Jack Crawford! Eight miles from home, and at this time of night too! Anything the matter?
Caudle, I can see! Oh, don't deny it I think I ought to know by this time. But it's always the way; whenever I get up a few things, the house can hardly hold you! Nobody cries out more about clean linen than you do and nobody leads a poor woman so miserable a life when she tries to make her husband comfortable. Yes, Mr. Caudle comfortable!
You don't blame the butterfly because it can't get down into the water and snort; and on the other hand, when the hippopotamus tries to flap his wings and flit about among the flowers, he doesn't make a success of it." There would be times when he took Corydon's point of view entirely.
The monkey inserts his arm, fills his hand with corn, and tries to pull it out, but can't unless he lets go of the corn, which he won't do. So you catch him. Yussuf Dakmar held up his pants with one hand, and tried to free himself from Jeremy with the other. If he had let go his pants he might have seized the envelope and discovered what a fake it was; but he wouldn't do that.
If he is running a trust our most characteristic, recklessly difficult American invention for a man to show through, and if he tries to get his American temperament to show through in it, tries to make his trust like a vast portrait, like a kind of countenance on a country, of what a big American business is like, what will he do? He will take a little axiom like this and act as if it were so.
"But" Collins halted where he swarmed up into Thompson's stope "where'll you go? You can't, Stretton. It's death!" "It's sense," said I. "As for where I'll go, Lac Tremblant'll do for me; and I bet it will finish any man of Macartney's who tries to come after me! Get through into that stope with your fuse, man; I'll hand you the blasting stuff. Got it? All right. Here you, gimme that candle!"
That is the only way in which one can maintain himself among the shifting currents of popularity. It comes and goes like a tide. The man who tries to lean on it is simply swept by the rising tide into self-conceit, and then stranded by the ebb of that same tide on the flats of despair.
And then, being by now out of earshot of the press, "royal Harmachis, I am come charged with a message to thee from thy father Amenemhat." "Is he well?" I asked. "Yes, he is well, though waiting for the moment tries him sorely." "And his message?" "It is this. He sends greeting to thee and with it warning that a great danger threatens thee, though he cannot read it.
