I once saw a sample of heathen conversion in Ceylon that was enough to dishearten a missionary. A Roman Catholic chapel had been erected in a wild part of the country by some zealous missionary, who prided himself upon the number of his converts. He left his chapel during a few weeks' absence in some other district, during which time his converts paid their devotion to the Christian altar.
Because I felt within me a will that nothing could weaken, a strength that nothing could fatigue, a courage that nothing could, dishearten, I imagined that I was armed for battle in such a way that I should never be conquered, and I am conquered, as much by the fault of circumstances as by my own " "And in what are you to blame, poor dear?"
Such a confession of weakness, urged Müffling, would dishearten the troops and intimidate the Austrian statesmen who had promised speedy succour. Let the allies cling to the sheltering rampart of the Riesengebirge, where they might defy Napoleon's attacks and await the white-coats.
"Every person has two educations, one which he receives from others, and one, more important, which he gives to himself." Gibbon. "Is there one whom difficulties dishearten who bends to the storm? He will do little. Is there one who will conquer? That kind of man never fails." John Hunter.
Volunteering almost ceased, and the government was obliged to begin drafting men to make up the numbers of soldiers needed by Grant in his campaign against Richmond. The President had many things to dishearten him at this time, many troublesome questions to settle.
For which reason, and because they thought that to such persons the mere ignominy of defeat was in itself punishment enough, they would not dishearten their generals by inflicting on them any heavier penalty. Of errors committed not through ignorance, the following is an instance.
He does not shoot naturally, but he learns by patient practice. He is not so tough as the Pathan, but he delights in feats of strength wrestling, running, or swimming. He is a much cleaner soldier and more careful. There are some who say that the Sikh will go on under circumstances which will dishearten and discourage his rival, and that if the latter has more dash he has less stamina.
Hard iron-fisted facts also, and funny mercurial fancies are to be found here in abundance, and there are tons of tin in the form of rubbish, which is usually left at a pit's mouth, and brings little or no "tin" to those who brought it to light, while there are voluminous layers of literary lead, whose weight and dulness render the working of them tedious; but this need not, and does not, dishearten the digger, for in all mines the poor and worthless material is ever in excess of that which is valuable, and miserable indeed must be the spirit of him who should refuse to manipulate the "dirt" because the large nuggets and gems are few and far between.
"No, but solid facts, seen close, often put on a differ'nt faace to what they did far-ways off." "You won't dishearten me, mother; I'm a happy man for once." "Be you? God forbid I should cloud 'e then; awnly keep wise as well as happy, an' doan't fill Chris with tu gert a shaw of pomps an' splendours. Put it away till it comes.
Their failure to take fish was also beginning to dishearten them. Allan pondered the advisability of suspending day travel and trekking only by night, but had to give over this plan, for it would obviate all possibility of his sighting the landmark, the cleft mountain. Though he said nothing, the pangs of apprehension were biting deep into his soul.
