But it is sometimes the case that he, who makes a thousand small revolts, cannot brace himself to one great one. The endless strife itself strengthens the bonds, in that it saps the strength. He deteriorated. This married life, wearing in every way, together with the hard work, resulted in his not being equal to more than just the necessities of the day.
"Well," replied the witness, "what did they give us the saps for?" Cooley also asked this witness why he had struck the men at Beverly Park. "Well," replied the ex-deputy, "if you want to know, that was the idea of the Commercial Club. That was what they recommended."
Self-indulgence saps the foundation of morals, destroys the vigor of manhood, and breeds evils that nothing but death can blot out. No one is very anxious about a young man while he is busy in useful work. But where does he eat his lunch at noon? Where does he go when he leaves his boarding-house at night? What does he do after supper? Where does he spend his Sundays and holidays?
Throughout the inexhaustible stores of poetry and song is there anything more exquisitely touching than the lofty and inspired dirge wailed out in tremulous tones in memoriam and the healthful words, "Ring out the grief that saps the mind For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind."

Nothing saps the strength like the rotting virus of jealousy; nothing so alters the face and vilifies the expression as living in a state of perpetual dislike and suspicion of any person or persons; as Crabbe's countenance cleared, as his eye brightened and his complexion lost its dissipated blotchy hue, Ringfield suffered by comparison.

"I said at the start that a bath never helped nobody. When they're hot they saps a man's courage, and when they're cold they " "No, no! You don't understand! For an athlete the bath ought to be cold the colder the better. It's the shock that hardens a fellow." "Has he weakened himself much?" inquired the foreman. "Undoubtedly, but " "What?" "If we only had some ice " "We got ice; plenty of it.
Talking is almost tabooed during such a race, since every breath lost in useless conversation saps so much energy. Even on a trial run Mr. Leonard had advised the boys to separate as soon as possible, and keep some distance apart, mostly to obviate this temptation to exchange views; so that each candidate could conserve every atom of his powers.
Where the men are educated, or at least readers, they make better soldiers, because they brood less. Brooding saps the best fiber of the army. Your Northern men ought to have an advantage there, for education is more general with you than it is with us. It is not bravery that makes a man eager for the campaign, it is unrest.
I had reason to believe that he would find his way back through the guidance of Isaac to the city. 'Alas! I read in your words his fate. But I will not urge you farther. I will live upon all the hope I can keep alive. Yet it is not the death of Calpurnius nor yet of Zenobia nor Julia that wrings the soul and saps its life, like this bitter, bitter disappointment, this base treason of Antiochus.
