It seems to me, that on only one condition, if at all, have we the right to take the black man's land; and that is, that we provide them with an equal and a just Government, and allow no maltreatment of them, either as individuals or tribes: but, on the contrary, do our best to elevate them, and wean them from savage customs. Otherwise, the practice is surely undefensible.
She was no longer that happy creature who in earlier youth wandered with me on the banks of the lake and talked with ecstasy of our future prospects. The first of those sorrows which are sent to wean us from the earth had visited her, and its dimming influence quenched her dearest smiles.
But these same gifts with which He gratifies it that He may wean it from earth and from self to love Him, at least from gratitude we use to excite our self-love and self-admiration, to amuse ourselves with them; and self-love is so deeply rooted in man, that it is augmented by these gifts; for he finds in himself new charms, which he had not discovered before; he delights in them, and appropriates to himself what belongs only to God.
But even knowledge brought its troubles; the Old Testament, which with a copy of the Decretals long formed his sole library, frowned down upon a love of secular learning from which Edmund found it hard to wean himself. At last, in some hour of dream, the form of his dead mother floated into the room where the teacher stood among his mathematical diagrams.
'Whisht, man! she said in momentary pity. 'Ye're talkin' like a wean. 'I canna help it. I'm that fond o' ye. An' it's no as if I had done a black crime. It was a pure accident 'Jist like a penny novel, she interrupted merciless again. 'Weel, I'm sure ye're welcome to ha'e as mony girls as ye like only, ye'll ha'e to leave me oot.
But as the interest of the owls had been increasing as that of the parents diminished, it happened by this time that there was not one left to wean. So the duty of the furry little mother, with her silly nose and her big, childish eyes, was singularly simplified. It was no use making more trouble with her unfriendly guests over a matter that was now past remedy.
Philip made no reply; when, after a few moments, Amine continued "But one short week, Philip " "I would it had been but one day," replied he; "it would have been long enough. He has come too soon the one-eyed monster." "Nay, not so, Philip. I thank him for the week 'tis but a short time to wean myself from happiness. But, no, Philip, your Amine knows her duty better.
Religion was to benefit only from the enhanced prestige given to her rites in the coming ceremony, not in the practical way that the Pope desired. And yet it was of the first importance for Napoleon to receive the holy oil and the papal blessing, for only so could he hope to wean the affections of royalists from their uncrowned and exiled king.
At nineteen she unconsciously mixed him with her life and led him more surely than in her dreams, and by a far more difficult trail, had she only known it safe away from the devils of memory and a distrust of life that pursued him more relentlessly than any human foe. She only meant to wean him from pessimism and rebuild within him a healthy appetite for life.
Lord love 'ee, neither court-paying, nor preaching, nor the seven thunders themselves, can wean a woman when 'twould be better for her that she should be weaned." Dinner-time came, and the whirling ceased; whereupon Tess left her post, her knees trembling so wretchedly with the shaking of the machine that she could scarcely walk.
