Accordingly, it is using extreme understatement, to say that every pure original thought has a genesis equally ancient, earnest, vital with any product in Nature, has present relationships no less broad and cosmical, and an evolution implying the like industries, veritable and precious beyond all scope of affirmation.
I have always maintained that it was an understatement. We must remember, it was not Kirby speaking, but the song-writer. Kirby would not, in my opinion, have numbered years he was proud of below their due quantity.
In his own smoke the General's eyes opened aggressively. But hark! His nephew spoke again: "Fred, if you knew all that girl has done for that boy and that grandmother It may sound like an overstatement, but you must have observed " "That she's a sort of overstatement herself?" "Go to grass! Your young lady's not even an understatement; she's only a profound pause. See here! what time is it?
With the hand goes the right to be waited on. With these three rights go three greater rights, or three duties, some people call them. With the right to think goes the right to let others think. With the right to live goes the right to let others live. With the right to be waited on, goes the right to serve. To call the right to serve a duty is an understatement.
They are, in everything good and evil, more unlike than any other two men we can take at random from the great European family. They are opposite from the roots of their history, nay of their geography. It is an understatement to call Britain insular.
Now, the German and the Englishman are not in the least alike except in the sense that neither of them are negroes. They are, in everything good and evil, more unlike than any other two men we can take at random from the great European family. They are opposite from the roots of their history nay, of their geography. It is an understatement to call Britain insular.
The germs of war between nations, breed in wars between classes, and the germs of class war breed in the wars between persons, and the germs of war between men and men breed in each man's not keeping peace with himself. It is when I am having a hard time getting on with Stanley Lee that I am likely to have a row with Ivy Lee. It is a colossal understatement to say that charity begins at home.
I know her through and through. I know that she is pure gold, pure crystal; that she is made of all music, all light, all sweetness, and of all shadow and silence and mystery too, as women should be. I know that earth holds naught above her. I do not care to employ superlatives, so, to put it in the form of an understatement, I know that she is simply and absolutely perfect. If you could see her!
It is insisted that eight duels a week four for each of the two days is too low an average to draw a calculation from, but I will reckon from that basis, preferring an understatement to an overstatement of the case.
It brought us wealth, influence, respect, the confidence of endless people. All that my uncle promised me proved truth and understatement; Tono-Bungay carried me to freedoms and powers that no life of scientific research, no passionate service of humanity could ever have given me.... It was my uncle's genius that did it.
