Ah! what to do with them through the long hours of the day beautiful creatures! by no means unlovable, with their bright, clear eyes, their restless, restless feet, their overflowing spirits; their bodies all alive, but with minds unfitted by birth, unskilled by domestic discipline, to any sort of earnest and prolonged effort.
Charity is a paradox, like modesty and courage. Stated baldly, charity certainly means one of two things pardoning unpardonable acts, or loving unlovable people. A sensible pagan would say that there were some people one could forgive, and some one couldn't: a slave who stole wine could be laughed at; a slave who betrayed his benefactor could be killed, and cursed even after he was killed.
Now, instead of blaming and disliking, will you not pity and love the unlovable and neglected lad? He had not been long under Mr. Barton's care, and after all, what could a schoolmaster do in twelve months, to remedy the evils which had been growing up for twelve years?
After this I shall have no more faith in strong-minded women." "Don't call her strong-minded! I won't have it; it sounds too unlovable for my dear, good girl!" cried Esther's mother fondly, and then immediately contradicting herself; "And indeed she would need to be strong-minded," she declared, "to venture to many a literary man.
It is religion that is supposed to rub down that long face, and inspire that stiff demeanor, and to make him at all points an unattractive and unlovable man. Of course it is not religion that does any thing of the kind, but it has the credit of it with the world, and the world does not like it.

"Do people never profit by their mistakes? Am I so unlovable a creature? Couldn't you either forget or forgive?" He shook his head. "It isn't that." His voice sounded husky, uncertain. "We can't undo what's done, that's all.
There was nothing apparently offensive in the words, yet the speaker seemed a singularly unlovable person as he spoke them, and Murray did not smile at the compliment, but went out with a grave air. Neither he nor his business lingered on Peter's mind once the door had closed behind him. Peter got up and lounged to the window.
"'Nay, she answered me, 'but it is true, and right. I have been selfish and unlovable, and more than that, sinful. Do you think God will pardon me! "'Can you doubt that He who sent His Only Son to die for us, and to save not the righteous but sinners, will hearken unto our supplications? I said, earnestly.
So I just used my sense of proportion, as you rashly bade me, and then hardened my heart at sight of you as you are. One of a number? Yes, and a quite unlovable unit. So I am all right again. And now, where is Balliol? Far from here?"
An enigmatical creature, and yet not wholly unlovable; he may be unsound or even unprincipled, he may be deficient in qualities that go to make men respected and satisfied with the world in general, but he possesses, I think, certain citizen-virtues unintelligible to the self-centred, rustic type of mind.
