Wherefore to me also art thou in the stead of all kindred and affinity." Now Christopher took counsel with Jack of the Tofts and the great men of the kingdom, and that same day, the first day of his kingship in Oakenham, was summoned a great mote of the whole folk; and in half a month was it holden, and thereat was Christopher taken to king with none gainsaying.
I ask the question whether the God who has such large things in His care, can think of me a speck on an infinite aggregate of surface a mote uneasily shifting in the boundless space. I get no hope in this direction; but I look down, and find that the shoulders of all inferior creation are under me, lifting me into the very presence of God.
"Home," said Joy. "Oh, don't; come, we won't laugh any mote. Come back, and you needn't climb. You can stay underneath and pick up while we throw down." "No; I've had enough of it. I don't like chestnutting, and I don't like to be laughed at, either. I shan't stay any longer." "I'm real sorry," said Gypsy. "I couldn't help laughing at you, you did look so terribly funny.
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Your worst pessimist is, after all, an optimist with regard to himself. We are quick to recognize the gravity of ill health in somebody else, yet we ourselves may be on the very brink of death without realizing it.
Yet this we know; yon ring of spectral light, Whose distance thrills the soul with solemn awe, Can ne'er escape in its majestic might The firm control of omnipresent law. This mote descending to its bounden place. Those suns whose radiance we can scarcely trace, Alike obey the Power pervading space.
"And you think then that with envy, malice, and all uncharitableness at your heart, you are certain of Heaven? For shame! Pluck the mote from your own eye!" "What sinnifies praching?

What do ye tache us?
She had felt this as soon as they had quitted her, but to-day she saw clearer. Her mind's eye was as clear as a silver mirror, she had purified it by three days' fasting and not a mote could escape her sight. "Help, ye children of Horapollo! Help, Hapi and Ye three holy ones!" "Oh, my beauties, my beauties!" she went on enthusiastically.
