22050 | The Spartans who fell at Thermopylae''s tryst Or the Persians or Xerxes? |
22050 | The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? |
22050 | The first question then that arises in considering these is, What do we mean by the state? |
22050 | We say perhaps that"we mean well,"or at least we mean to do no one any harm, but is our influence harmless? |
22050 | What do we mean by it? |
22050 | What is character? |
22050 | What is success in life? |
22050 | What to it are nuggets or millions?" |
22050 | When a celebrated artist, Benjamin West, was asked"What made him a painter?" |
22050 | When were circumstances favorable to any great or good attempt, except as they were compelled by determination and industry to become favorable? |
22050 | did I cry out?" |
22050 | substitute, What is the good? |
22050 | unroll thy long annals and say, Are they those whom the world calls victors, who won the success of the day, The martyrs or Nero? |
43405 | Quid habemus quod non accepimus? |
43405 | What have we that we have not received? |
43405 | Do we really appertain absolutely to a given and distinctly limited existence? |
43405 | Having no deeper source of life within himself, how should he be able to escape from the trammels of society, to rise above it or oppose it? |
43405 | How are we to interpret this new life and its origin? |
43405 | How could we judge sensuous enjoyment and outer success in the same way as we judge values like truth and honour? |
43405 | How should this be attained without a vigorous deepening of life, without the development of invisible values? |
43405 | Must not such fidelity to oneself and to one''s own work strike us as being in the highest degree moral? |
43405 | We all remember the words of Jesus:"What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" |
43405 | What becomes of man and of human life, if the visible world means to him the only form of reality? |
43405 | Where have we an aim embracing the whole man, which is common to us all and binds us together to inner communion? |
37068 | But her social position? |
37068 | But,says some young fellow,"what are the social pleasures and indulgences which injuriously affect a young man''s success?" |
37068 | But,some one will say, as asked a young fellow recently,"how in the world do you get at an understanding of yourself? |
37068 | And what is the result? |
37068 | And why? |
37068 | And, after all, is she not right?" |
37068 | CONTENTS I PAGE A CORRECT KNOWLEDGE OF HIMSELF 11 II WHAT, REALLY, IS SUCCESS? |
37068 | Faults? |
37068 | How do these people know that it will not? |
37068 | How do you go about it?" |
37068 | Hundreds of men constantly ask the question,"Can I marry on six hundred, eight hundred, or a thousand dollars per year?" |
37068 | II WHAT, REALLY, IS SUCCESS? |
37068 | If liquor brought safe pleasures, why did these men abstain from it? |
37068 | If, as some say, it is a stimulant to a busy man, why did not these men, directing the largest business interests in this country, resort to it? |
37068 | In natural sequence comes, therefore, the question of"What, really, is success?" |
37068 | Is she less capable of making a good wife? |
37068 | Is the girl in an office less of a woman than the girl who rides in her carriage? |
37068 | Not long since a young fellow wrote to me in this connection, and said in his letter:"What''s the use of leading a straight life? |
37068 | Of what possible satisfaction is it to get credit from others for doing what is best for one''s self? |
37068 | Or again:"Can a young fellow be religious and yet successful?" |
37068 | Or sometimes it is put:"Does it really pay to be honest in business?" |
37068 | Social station? |
37068 | The question is asked, and as often discussed:"Is a life built upon religious principles really compatible with a young man''s business success?" |
37068 | There are no women present, are there?" |
37068 | To please society? |
37068 | To uphold social standards as false as they are mythical? |
37068 | What is social station? |
37068 | What more can I do?" |
37068 | What right have we to apply superficial standards to worth and character? |
37068 | Why do we marry? |
37068 | Why take the risk? |
37068 | Young men read these things and ask themselves,"If he can, why not I?" |
40901 | All this advice is minute, but what kind will you have? |
40901 | Between ourselves, would they be in the wrong? |
40901 | But is it then necessary to proscribe eulogiums entirely? |
40901 | But what in reality are these slight duties of modern hospitality, in comparison to the rigorous ones of ancient times? |

40901 | Should we not use every effort to rid ourselves of this? |
40901 | These attentions, and these duties, they discharge in_ petto_, but who will thank them for it? |
40901 | What pleasure can we find in causing ladies to blush, and in meriting the name of a man of bad society? |
40901 | Who does not know the charm and value of this? |

12492 | The moral good,he says, is"that which satisfies the desire of amoral agent"; but"the question,... What do we mean by calling ourselves moral agents? |
12492 | A passage such as this leads us to ask, What exactly is the extent of the modifications which Mill seeks to make in the ordinary scale of values? |
12492 | And how can we say that any part ought not to be when every part is essential? |
12492 | And if there is such a difference, in what does it consist? |
12492 | But must this free act of the mind bear ever and ever again the deceptive form of demonstrative science? |
12492 | But what about qualities such as sympathy, willingness to help another, obedience, and faithfulness to a community or to a cause? |
12492 | Can Metaphysics help us? |
12492 | Do we not need some criterion of goodness to guide our judgment? |
12492 | Does he, for instance, wish to invert any ordinary moral rules? |
12492 | For if we say that''reality appears,''are we not thereby predicating something of reality, making it enter into relation? |
12492 | For what is an appearance, and what is it that appears? |
12492 | How then is such a test to be got? |
12492 | Is not the good something that ought to be striven for, attained, and preserved? |
12492 | Now I venture to ask the question, Is it? |
12492 | Now, I ask, Did this process take place when Darwinism supplanted the traditional theory of the fixity of species? |
12492 | Or what name shall we give to that which passes therein? |
12492 | Was it natural selection that brought about the result? |
12492 | What matters it how we came by our knowledge, provided it is the case that we can know ourselves and the world? |
12492 | What was it then that led to the victory of the one idea over the other? |
12492 | Would he do away with, or in any important respect modify, the duties of truth or justice, temperance or benevolence? |
12492 | [ 1] How can the distinction of good and evil apply as between these parts? |
12492 | and is not evil something that ought not to be at all? |
12492 | is one to which a final answer can not be given without an answer to the question, What is moral good? |

40845 | And is it so, that, in the region of taste alone, the faculties of man have no adequate object? |
40845 | But is there, it will be asked,_ no_ beauty in any combination of features, or of matter, except as connected with expression? |
40845 | Can I make this distinction obvious? |
40845 | Is a man under moral obligation to be neat in his person? |
40845 | Is it not, that the most perfect law is there fully obeyed, and is yet no restraint upon the highest and freest expansion of feeling? |
40845 | Is that feeling merely the result of taste, or are there mingled with it some elements of moral approbation or disapprobation? |
40845 | Is the prevalence of a cultivated taste, favorable to morals? |
40845 | Is there a connexion, either in individuals, or in communities, between good taste and good morals? |
40845 | What is it, indeed, that gives its perfect beauty to our conception of the worship of heaven? |

13072 | How could we guide ourselves through life without the beacon- light of reason? 13072 In what way did you lose it?" |
13072 | Is it not a cruel irony which renders such a gift useless? 13072 Is it not much better to compel its attainment when the hair is black and the heart capable of hope? |
13072 | Is it, then, necessary to have experienced pain in order to prevent or cure it? 13072 Is this to say that his nature changes to the point of modifying his natural color? |
13072 | Must one believe that common sense is excluded from two such incompatible opinions? 13072 Of what benefit is wisdom resulting from experience if it can not preserve us from the unfortunate seduction of youth? |
13072 | Ought we then to blame others so strongly? 13072 Then why could we not do for the soul that which can be done for the body? |
13072 | What becomes of it, then? 13072 What is there more commendable than the love of work, devotion to science, ambition to succeed? |
13072 | What should I do if I were in the place of the person with whom I am discussing? 13072 What should he do to be able to give the best possible description? |
13072 | Which of these are worthy of admiration? 13072 Why give to old age alone the privileges of wisdom and experience? |
13072 | Why should its beauty be unveiled only to those who can no longer profit by it? |
13072 | Would you not be counseled by voices which we have not the power to hear, and do you not see things which are visible to you alone?'' 13072 Common Sense Does Not Exclude Great Aspirations LESSON I COMMON SENSE: WHAT IS IT? 13072 Common Sense: What Is It? 13072 Could not this story serve as an example to the majority of contemporary critics? 13072 However, people will say, if laws are so impeccable in their right to authority, how is it that their interpretation leads so often to disputes? 13072 Is it not often necessary to appear to be denuded of common sense, to make the voice of reason dominate? 13072 Or, yet again: What should I reply if my adversaries used the same language to me as I purpose using when addressing them? 13072 Why? 13072 Would one not say that these lines had been written yesterday? 26597 ''And you feel dis_ fauteuil_ really very_ com- for- ta- ble_?'' |
26597 | ''Well, John, have you considered what additional wages you are to have for taking your hat off?'' 26597 ''Well, sir,''said John,''and have n''t I a right to?'' |
26597 | ''Well,''said John,''if I have a right to, why should n''t I?'' 26597 ''You find yourself now much improved, madame?'' |
26597 | And after your egg--? |
26597 | And what did you do with the shell? |
26597 | How is it possible? |
26597 | Matter? 26597 Why, Brother Blunt, what is the matter?" |
26597 | Without breaking it, of course? |
26597 | _ V.--VIL YOU SAY SO, IF YOU PLEASE?" |
26597 | ''I fear, madame,''said she,''that you suffare ver''much-- vat can I do for you?'' |
26597 | And has the wife no duties? |
26597 | And if consent is refused? |
26597 | And then, how should she meet the blunt, honest elder again? |
26597 | And what did you do when you took soup?" |
26597 | And what do good manners require of the ladies? |
26597 | Are we equally ready to respect the rights of others? |
26597 | As to the affairs of others, what are they to you? |
26597 | But if it is not, which should go first? |
26597 | But may we not speak to a person without an introduction? |
26597 | But tell me, how did you eat your bread?" |
26597 | But the coffee, how did you manage it?" |
26597 | But to proceed: after your soup, what did you eat?" |
26597 | Do you know where to put your feet and what to do with your hands? |
26597 | Does not the husband rightly claim as much, at least, as the lover? |
26597 | First, when you sat down at the table, what did you do with your napkin?" |
26597 | How_ do_ you stand? |
26597 | Is not the wife more, and better, and dearer than the sweetheart? |
26597 | Is there a sufficient reason for making this an exception? |
26597 | Is this too much? |
26597 | Its form is,"Shall the main question now be put?" |
26597 | Reader, are you married? |
26597 | Through whose fault comes this state of things? |
26597 | We have, of course( as what gentleman has not? |
26597 | Who ever ate soup with a fork? |
26597 | _ Arrangement of Guests._ Where rank or social position are regarded( and where are they not to some extent? |
26597 | or,"Are you ready for the question?" |
10591 | ''Say, Fridthjof, Balder''s peace hast thou not broken, Not seen my sister in his house while Day Concealed himself, abashed, before your meeting? 10591 Are there cases,"he asks,"where lying is allowable? |
10591 | But,continues the patient,"do you think I am going to die of this disease?" |
10591 | Do you expect me to tell you the truth, Colonel, in such a matter? |
10591 | How shall ethics ever be brought to lay down a duty of lying[ of''white lying''], to recommend evil that good may come? 10591 Who will not readily obey this request,"adds Martensen,"and hold such a memory in honor?... |
10591 | And even if she had to suffer what is unworthy, who dare maintain that she could not in suffering preserve her moral worth?" |
10591 | But what of all that? |
10591 | But when the question came,"What is the present strength of your corps?" |
10591 | Can we make out the so- called''white lie''to be morally permissible?" |
10591 | Does he seem in those premises to put veracity below chastity, and falsehood below personal impurity? |
10591 | He asks,"What chief of mortals is there, who has never told a lie?" |
10591 | If, however, the patient goes on to ask,"But, doctor, do you think I''m going to die?" |
10591 | Is this the mere weakness of superstition? |
10591 | The patient may ask,"Doctor, am I very sick?" |
10591 | Thus it was that I came first to face a question of the ages, Is a lie ever justifiable? |
10591 | What conduct could be more brave and constant? |
10591 | What obligation can be stronger than the obligation to be true to God and true to one''s self? |
10591 | What says the moral sense of humanity to such a position as that? |
10591 | What''s the matter with you?" |
10591 | Which should be followed, the philosophic morality, or the practice of otherwise most truthful men?" |
10591 | Which should be followed,--the philosophic morality, or the practice of many otherwise decent and very respectable men?" |
10591 | Which should be followed,--the philosophic morality, or the practice of otherwise most truthful men?" |
10591 | Who does not feel himself penetrated with involuntary, most hearty admiration?" |
10591 | Who is right,--Kant, or the common moral sense? |
10591 | Would Dr. Hodge deny that Jesus_ could_ have had it in his mind to"go further,"or to have"passed by"his disciples, if they would not ask him to stop? |
10591 | Would any one suppose from his premises that Dr. Smyth looked upon personal truthfulness as a minor virtue, and upon falsehood as a lesser vice? |
10591 | [ 1] And when he asks, in connection with this suggestion,"Who is right,--Kant, or the common moral sense? |
7539 | Have but one set of jokes to live upon Have you learned to carve? |
47993 | Such a one, that was the sonne of such a one, that dwelt in Cocomer streete: do you knowe him? 47993 : Or, how? 47993 And if you doe aske them,Doue e il signore?" |
47993 | And therefore turning to the Apothecarie he saied unto him: Sir, whoe is this that came laste? |
47993 | And who could deal with the subject more exquisitely than the Archbishop of Benevento? |
47993 | And, when a man tells his tale, you must geve good eare unto him: that you may not say otherwhile, O what? |
47993 | Doue mi manda egli? |
47993 | If a man say:"Sir, suche a one willed me to commend him unto you:"They aunswere straite:"what have I too doe with his greetings?" |
47993 | No? |
47993 | What a fetching about is this, ere they come to y^e mater? |
47993 | What? |
47993 | do not you know him? |
47993 | do you not remember the goodly straight old man that ware long haire downe to his shoulders?" |
47993 | shall it sleepe Endymions yeares? |

27830 | Do n''t they let you talk every day at home, John? |
27830 | Have you read Castiglione''s_ Cortegiano_? |
27830 | How do you know that? |
27830 | I have been inclined to think otherwise,"I should be pleased to hear your reasons,"Are n''t you mistaken? |
27830 | Mr. Black was telling me to- day about Mr. White''s being appointed to---- what do you call that office? |
27830 | And if so, why? |
27830 | But is this true? |
27830 | CHAPTER IV WHAT SHOULD GUESTS TALK ABOUT AT DINNER? |
27830 | Cook_:"Do n''t you think the plan of building a great riverside drive a splendid one?" |
27830 | Did you know that---- lost heavily by the crash of Thursday? |
27830 | Do n''t I know her way? |
27830 | Do you wish polish for the class of shoes you are wearing?" |
27830 | I have not read it; impossible to get a box at the opera for another fortnight; how do you like my dress? |
27830 | If one or two children out of a thousand made a fair attempt, you would attribute this either to special genius or special training-- and why? |
27830 | If the novel be so popular a form of literature, how can the novel in real life fail to interest an intelligent company? |
27830 | Is Blank really a man of genius? |
27830 | Is it any wonder that in France polite discussion is made the most exhilarating and delightful exercise in the world? |
27830 | Miss Black, can you give us that pun? |
27830 | Or is there a secret? |
27830 | Or was this ability born in them? |
27830 | Or, if there is a secret of proficiency, do the adroit managers of words guard their secret carefully? |
27830 | Plato says:"Whosoever seeketh must know that which he seeketh for in a general notion, else how shall he know it when he hath found it?" |
27830 | Politeness consists, they think, in always saying,"yes, yes,"or at most a non- committal"indeed?" |
27830 | That dear man''s death gave me a good fit of crying; do you travel this summer? |
27830 | The best answer to the question,"What should guests at dinner talk about?" |
27830 | The question is often asked,"What should guests talk about at a dinner?" |
27830 | There is literature which argues, and painting which argues, and poetry which argues, so why not conversation which argues? |
27830 | To come to any conclusions on this subject, one should first determine: What is the aim of conversation? |
27830 | What better proof that conversation is listening as well as talking? |
27830 | What is the secret of the ability to put thought into tactful as well as vivid words? |
27830 | What pleasure is there in conversation between two people, or among three or four, when the thought is interrupted every other remark? |
27830 | What, then, is the essential training necessary to the nice handling of words? |
27830 | Why should not ready writers and ready talkers be just as proud of honest endeavor? |
27830 | Why should we enjoy characterization more in literature and in drama than in life? |
27830 | _ Dealer_--"Do you prefer''Cobra''polish, madam? |
27830 | or,"Did the marriage take place after all? |
16802 | And what''s the good of that? |
16802 | Have n''t you, though? |
16802 | What in the name of wonder, James, can you be doing? |
16802 | Why do n''t my hands look and feel as it would seem that the perfect Author of all things would have them? |
16802 | Why do you not take a book, and read? |
16802 | And I thought how the years of a man pass away-- Threescore and ten-- and then where are they?" |
16802 | And to what purpose all this personality? |
16802 | And what do we with the rest?" |
16802 | And why should not the eye be pleased? |
16802 | And why? |
16802 | But are we, therefore, to say there is no such thing as friendship, or that it is not worth seeking? |
16802 | But have I therefore lost the field? |
16802 | But was this their fault, or ours? |
16802 | Can no one draw for them a better likeness?" |
16802 | Do we not often discover some home- chiseled grooves in our minds, into which the intellectual machinery seems to slide, as by a sort of necessity? |
16802 | Do we not often find ourselves subject to habitual trains of thought? |
16802 | Does not a mother''s counsel-- does not a father''s example-- cling to the memory, and haunt us through life? |
16802 | Does pure religion charm thee Far more than aught below? |
16802 | Her physical powers were thus occupied; but where was her mind the while? |
16802 | If there thy faith shall fail thee, If there no shrine be found, What can thy prayers avail thee With kneeling crowds around? |
16802 | Is it not true that parents are the lawgivers of their children? |
16802 | Is it not very tedious?" |
16802 | Is it not, in short, a proverbial truth, that the controlling lessons of life are given beneath the parental roof? |
16802 | Love over it presideth, With meek and watchful awe, Its daily service guideth, And shows its perfect law? |
16802 | To get good, or do good? |
16802 | What is it to us that each one of thy tickings cuts a link from our brief chain of life? |
16802 | What sense may be more innocently gratified? |
16802 | Where beats the fond heart lightest, Its humble hopes possess''d? |
16802 | Where burns the lov''d hearth brightest, Cheering the social breast? |
16802 | Where is the moral of my tale, and what the use of telling it? |
16802 | Where is the smile of sadness, Of meek- eyed patience born, Worth more than those of gladness, Which mirth''s bright cheek adorn? |
16802 | Who, with such an appeal, could withhold their commendations? |
16802 | Why do we not censure the sun for outshining the stars, and the pale moon for having no light but what she borrows? |
16802 | Will He who gave, ask no reckoning for his gifts? |
16802 | Would''st thou that she should arm thee Against the hour of woe? |
16802 | and consider what was the purpose of Heaven in the former, and what the demand of Heaven in the occupation of the latter? |
16802 | and many a scorching noon- tide, has n''t your father eaten his dinner in its shade? |
16802 | and, if we seek to discover the origin of these, are we not insensibly led back, by some beaten and familiar track, to the paternal threshold? |
16802 | and, what is worse, the menial slave of her own mental darkness, moral debasement, and vicious indulgences? |
16802 | exclaimed the mother;"do n''t the birds go to roost on the branches, and the poultry get shelter under it from the rain? |
16802 | morosely repel it, or suspiciously distrust it? |
16802 | rejoined the mother;"has not the tree sheltered us many a stormy night, when the wind would have beaten the old casement about our ears? |
16802 | the alternate victim of his pleasures, his disgust, or his cruelty? |
16802 | the creature of his caprice? |
16802 | the object of his ambition, or his avarice, or his lust, or his power? |
5068 | There is an argument from design in the subject,as he says;"if the book was not meant to be read for that purpose, for what purpose was it meant?" |
5068 | And shall not these rounded and perfect powers serve us as our ideal of what it is to be a finished human being? |
5068 | Are we to allow the poor personal habits of other people to absorb and quite use up all our fine indignation? |
5068 | But how? |
5068 | By what means is this self- liberation to be effected-- this emancipation from affection and the bondage of being like other people? |
5068 | Could any man hesitate to say that Abraham Lincoln was more human than William Lloyd Garrison? |
5068 | Do its many interests distract us when we would plan our discipline, determine our duty, clarify our ideals? |
5068 | Does the age hinder? |
5068 | Is it because we are better at being common scolds than at being wise advisers that we prefer little reforms to big ones? |
5068 | Is it open to us to choose to be genuine? |
5068 | When did we learn these? |
5068 | Who shall contrive to be human without this evening hour, which drives turmoil out, and gives the soul its seasons of self- recollection? |
5068 | Why should not human traits the more abound where human beings teem millions strong? |
5068 | Why should not the city seem infinitely more human than the hamlet? |
5068 | Will you not take the usury of the past, if it may be had for the taking? |
36048 | To be sure I do; do you think that I would allow a negro to outdo me in politeness? |
36048 | What perfection? |
36048 | What signifies it? |
36048 | What, sir, taking the bones out of a hare? |
36048 | And who would be so cruel as to add affliction to the afflicted? |
36048 | Are you going to eat of everything that is handed? |
36048 | As to subjects for conversation, what difficulty can there be about them? |
36048 | But do n''t you hear the servant offering you sherry? |
36048 | But his grace, drawing himself up, said:"May I know, sir, to whom I have the honor of speaking?" |
36048 | But why should a lady and gentleman, who know who each other are, scornfully and doggedly pass each other in the streets as though they were enemies? |
36048 | Ca n''t you take your hands down, sir? |
36048 | Can you not speak of the"Philosophy and science, and the springs Of wonder, and the wisdom of the world?" |
36048 | Did any lady ever see a gentleman with an embroidered waistcoat, and a profusion of chains, rings, and trinkets adorning his person? |
36048 | Did n''t you, learn that in the nursery? |
36048 | Did n''t your mamma say to you,"Never put your hands above the table except to carve or eat?" |
36048 | Do not even say,"How is your brother to- day?" |
36048 | Do not ruffle or provoke any man; why should any one be the worse for coming into company with you? |
36048 | Do you take it for a towel? |
36048 | Good, but----? |
36048 | In another letter, he writes:"Do you mind your dancing while your dancing master is with you? |
36048 | In helping the soup, never say,"Will you let me assist you to some of this soup?" |
36048 | In inviting a lady to dance with you, the words,"Will you_ honor_ me with your hand for a quadrille?" |
36048 | In inviting a lady to take wine with you at table, you should politely say,"Shall I have the pleasure of a glass of wine with you?" |
36048 | Is it not better to suffer a little inconvenience than to show yourself decidedly vulgar? |
36048 | Never reply, in answer to a question like the following,"Did Mrs. Spitewell tell you how Miss Rosebud''s marriage was getting on?" |
36048 | Nothing is ruder than to say,"Pardon me, will you repeat that sentence? |
36048 | The word assist is not"selon les règles de la bonne société,"but simply,"Shall I send you some?" |
36048 | We have seen many instances where a lady, fond of dress,( and what lady is not fond of dress?) |
36048 | What does it signify where a picture hangs, or whether a rose or a pink looks best on the drawing- room table? |
36048 | Who would care about sitting and moping for a dozen of hours on board a steamer without exchanging a word with anybody? |
36048 | Who would not pick up a jewel that lay on a dung- hill? |
36048 | Who would think of regaling a circle of ladies with the beauties of Homer''s Greek, or a mixed company with Sir Isaac Newton''s discoveries? |
36048 | Why should you give any man the advantage over you? |
36048 | Why should you refuse a man the pleasure of believing that he is telling you something which you never heard before? |
36048 | Will not books, balls, bonnets and metaphysics furnish pleasant topics of discourse? |
36048 | Will you, or will you not, do turbot? |
36048 | You dare not ask the blessing of your Heavenly Father upon such addresses; and without His blessing, what happiness can you expect? |
36048 | _ Eat slowly._ Have you not heard that Napoleon lost the battle of Leipsic by eating too fast? |
36048 | _ Will_ you attend to your lady, sir? |
36048 | a knife to cut that light brittle pastry? |
36048 | are more used now than"Shall I have the_ pleasure_?" |
36048 | are you trying to eat meat with a fork alone? |
36048 | did I really see you put your knife into your mouth? |
36048 | or,"Shall I have the_ honor_ of dancing this set with you?" |
36048 | or,"Will you give me the_ pleasure_ of dancing with you?" |
36048 | some will say--"why tease a youth about such matters? |
36048 | what can I do? |
36048 | what on earth do you mean by wiping your forehead with it? |
4754 | Among these are the following: Why is there a"Philosophy of Despair?" |
4754 | And how indeed can we do anything? |
4754 | And if we can know or believe nothing, what should we try to do? |
4754 | Can Despair be wrought into healthful life? |
4754 | If we can not"reach the heart of reality"by reason, what indeed can we reach? |
4754 | If you could do something better than you are doing now, everything considered, why are you not doing it? |
4754 | In what part of the Universe are you and what are you doing? |
4754 | In what part of the universe are you, and what are you doing? |
4754 | Should life stop with you? |
4754 | We asked him:"Hast thou seen the plains, the mountains?" |
4754 | What does that demand? |
4754 | What have I to do next? |
4754 | What have you done that you should mark the end of time? |
4754 | What if the individual be lost in the mass as a pebble cast into the Seven Seas? |
4754 | What if there are so many of us in the ranks of humanity? |
4754 | What matter is it that time does not end with us? |
4754 | What right have we to know or to believe? |
4754 | What, then, are you doing under these blue skies? |
4754 | Who are you that would be Emperor of China? |
4754 | Why not? |
4754 | Why not? |
4754 | Would you ask for problems of life so tame that even you could grasp them? |
4754 | Would you choose a world so small as to leave room for only you and your satellites? |
35975 | Poor little fellow,he said,"are n''t you cold standing here?" |
35975 | What are you looking at; what do you want? |
35975 | A woman calling on a friend or acquaintance on no definite day makes some such inquiry as follows of the servant at the door:"Is Mrs. Gray at home?" |
35975 | After all, what can be quite so lovely as beautiful manners? |
35975 | An unmarried woman is always presented to a matron in this manner:"Mrs. Brown, may I present Miss Jones?" |
35975 | And what can be more worthy of admiration and respect than a sweet, well- mannered young girl? |
35975 | And, after all, do n''t you yourself judge people by what they do, and say, and wear? |
35975 | And, after all, is n''t it happiness that makes life worth while? |
35975 | B?" |

35975 | Do n''t you read in their manner and appearance the secret of their inner worth? |
35975 | For has n''t she served her guests well? |
35975 | For how can the boor be happy? |
35975 | For instance,"Miss Daniels, do you know my sister, Mildred?" |
35975 | Franklin?" |
35975 | Has n''t she sent them to their homes a little happier than when they first came? |
35975 | Have you seen it?" |
35975 | Is n''t character and disposition revealed in the outer personality? |
35975 | It is perfectly correct to ask:"Did Mrs. Roberts call you Miss Gray?" |
35975 | Jones?" |
35975 | May I call some evening when you and your mother are at home?" |
35975 | May I expect you also? |
35975 | Of what use is wealth and power and position if we can not have the ones we love, the ones who love us? |
35975 | SHOULD A STRANGER LEAVE CARDS? |
35975 | The bride''s father remains directly behind her until the clergyman asks,"Who giveth this woman to this man?" |
35975 | The correct form to use when one man is introduced to another is usually,"How do you do?" |
35975 | To the question:"What shall the gift be?" |
35975 | WHEN TO INTRODUCE"To introduce or not to introduce?" |
35975 | WHEN TO INVITE The question naturally arises, what are the occasions that require hospitality? |
35975 | WHY IT PAYS TO BE AGREEABLE Why should we know the laws of etiquette? |
35975 | What is a gentleman? |
35975 | When introducing a friend to one''s parents it is correct to say,"Mother, may I present Miss Smith?" |
35975 | Where in the city can you find the good- fellowship, the spontaneity, the courteous kindliness that you find in the small town and village? |
35975 | Where in the city can you find the open- hearted generosity, the sympathetic understanding and the simple courtesy that you find among country people? |
35975 | Who of us has not heard the successful business man decline an invitation to a reception because he"had no time for such nonsense"? |
35975 | Who of us has not heard the uncultured boor boast that he is not restricted by any"sissy manners"? |
35975 | Why do we greet people in a certain ordained way-- by nodding or by lifting the hat? |
35975 | Why do we make introductions and send invitations and cultivate our manners and speech? |
35975 | Why should we be agreeable? |
35975 | Why should we know the way to do and say things? |
35975 | Wo n''t you come, too? |
35975 | Would it not have been more sensible to bury him simply and unostentatiously, preserving a little of the money left her for the necessities of life? |

3353 | Can an author with reason complain that he is cramped and shackled, if he is not at liberty to publish blasphemy, bawdry, or sedition? |
3353 | Could one think this possible, if one did not know it to be true? |
3353 | Does not this prejudice you against their matter, be it what it will; nay, even against their persons? |

3353 | He thought all these things of consequence, and he thought right; pray do you think so too? |
3353 | How the devil can you like being always with these foreigners? |
3353 | I should be glad to hear half a dozen women of fashion say,''Ou est donc le petit Stanhope? |
3353 | If disagreeable insinuations, sly sneers, or repeated contradictions, tease and irritate you, would you use them where you wish to engage and please? |

3353 | Is Comte Algarotti, who was the TENANT there, at Venice? |
3353 | Is he avaricious? |
3353 | Is he passionate? |
3353 | Is he vain, and open to flattery? |
3353 | Is this ambitious statesman amorous? |
3353 | May I be sure that he will do so and so, because he ought? |
3353 | On the other hand, do you not feel yourself inclined, prepossessed, nay, even engaged in favor of those who address you in the direct contrary manner? |
3353 | Ou est- ce yu''on y parle Epigramme? |
3353 | Pray tell me what are the amusements of those assemblies? |
3353 | Then what the devil do you do with him? |
3353 | Very true, but what hinders them from thinking as they please? |
3353 | What figure can you make, in either case, if your style be inelegant, I do not say bad? |
3353 | What then does all this mighty art and mystery of speaking in parliament amount to? |
3353 | What, does the old prig threaten then? |
3353 | Why hast thou no more spirit, than to mind an old fellow a thousand miles off? |
3353 | Why should you not( for instance) write your little memorandums and accounts in that language and character? |
3353 | Why the same thing over and over again? |
3353 | Why, then, he is an old dog, that''s all I can say; and pray are you to obey your dry- nurse too, this same, and what''s his name-- Mr. Harte? |
3353 | Why? |
3353 | Will he, therefore, invariably pursue the object of that predominant passion? |
3353 | Will you be with us to- morrow in the evening, then? |
3353 | Will you come and breakfast with me tomorrow? |
3353 | Will you do anything to lessen or forfeit it? |
3353 | Y debite- t- on les beaux sentimens? |
3353 | due ne vient- il? |
3353 | or how does it corrupt the eloquence of an orator in the pulpit or at the bar? |

3358 | ''Hantex vous les grands de la terre''? |
3358 | ''Y a- t- il quelque bon ton''? |
3358 | Are you adopted in any society? |
3358 | Are you completely''nippe''yet? |
3358 | But then how is Sweden to be satisfied? |
3358 | Cut off from society by my deafness, and dispirited by my ill health, where could I be better? |
3358 | Do you frequent the Landgrave? |
3358 | Do you hold your resolution of visiting your dominions of Bremen and Lubeck this summer? |
3358 | Do you observe it in your accounts? |
3358 | Do you visit Soltikow, the Russian Minister, whose house, I am told, is the great scene of pleasures at Hamburg? |
3358 | Does the King of Prussia send a body of men to our army or not? |
3358 | Have I done anything that can be of use to myself or others? |
3358 | Have I employed my time, or have I squandered it? |
3358 | Have I lived out the day, or have I dozed it away in sloth and laziness? |
3358 | Have the''Casserolles''been employed in it yet? |
3358 | Have they, at Hamburg, what are called at Paris''des Maisons'', where one goes without ceremony, sups or not, as one pleases? |
3358 | Have you any rational brother ministers, and which? |
3358 | Have you formed what the world calls connections? |
3358 | How do you like your house? |
3358 | How do you pass your evenings? |
3358 | How should his Master have made the GOLDEN ARRANGEMENTS which he talks of, and which are to be forged into shackles for General Fermor? |
3358 | I could wish that every rational man would, every night when he goes to bed, ask himself this question, What have I done to- day? |
3358 | In the next place, Why should not you wriggle yourself, if possible, into so great a scheme? |
3358 | In what houses are you domestic? |
3358 | Is it a convenient one? |
3358 | Must there be no acquisition for them in Flanders? |
3358 | Must we give up whatever the French please to desire in America, besides the cession of Minorca in perpetuity? |

3358 | The estimates for the expenses of the year 1759 are made up; I have seen them; and what do you think they amount to? |
3358 | This parliament is theirs,''caetera quis nescit''? |
3358 | Though''d''ailleurs'', between you and me,''ou est- ce que cela mene''? |
3358 | To which he will probably ask, Why, or how? |
3358 | To which the General replied, but can you take us on board again? |
3358 | What are the connections of the evening? |
3358 | What shall he do next, with the three hundred and fourscore thousand men now actually at work upon him? |
3358 | What sort of things are your operas? |
3358 | What turn would the war take then? |
3358 | When you are quite idle( as probably you may be, some time this summer), why should you not ask leave to make a tour to Cassel for a week? |
3358 | Who are so in yours? |
3358 | Who would have thought, a year ago, that Mr. Fox, the Chancellor, and the Duke of Newcastle, should all three have quitted together? |
3358 | Why should not we step in there, and out- bid them? |
3358 | Why should not we, on our part, try to detach Russia? |
3358 | Will France have been at all this expense''gratis''? |
3358 | Will the Russians restore Memel? |
3358 | Would the French and Russians carry it on without her? |
3358 | You are, no doubt, much acquainted with the Russian Resident, Soltikow; Why should you not sound him, as entirely from yourself, upon this subject? |
3358 | You ask me if I still despond? |
3358 | You will ask me why? |
3358 | You will say, perhaps, where could you be worse? |
3358 | You will think this tiresome, and so it is; but how can I help it? |
3358 | or has the march of the Russians cut him out work for all his troops? |

23025 | Do? |
23025 | Does this suit you? |
23025 | How do you account for the fact that you have come to place so much emphasis on courtesy? |
23025 | May I speak to your personnel manager? |
23025 | Now, what will you have to eat? |
23025 | President of the Hudson Railroad? |
23025 | Shall we try them? |
23025 | Well, young man, what can I do for you? |
23025 | What are you laughing at? |
23025 | What did you want, sir? |
23025 | What kind of soup do you like? |
23025 | What would you do if you were I? |
23025 | What''s the matter with that number, Miss Fisher? |
23025 | What,we asked the manager of a bookshop which caters to a large high- grade clientèle,"do you find your greatest trouble?" |
23025 | When shall I be most likely to find him free? |

23025 | Where can I find the trunks? |
23025 | Who is your father? |
23025 | Why did n''t you tell us about it? |
23025 | Why do n''t you take him a book? |
23025 | Will you tell him, please, that I am coming back to- morrow at the same time? |
23025 | Will you tell him, please, that I am here, all the same? 23025 _ Hello, what do you want?_"is no way to answer a call. |
23025 | An infinite supply of courtesy would, of course, be a priceless asset to him, but does not this work both ways? |
23025 | And with the people who are stationed about for the purpose of answering questions almost anywhere? |
23025 | And would you believe it, my profits during the first year were more than fifty per cent bigger than they were the year before?" |

23025 | Did you ever walk around the block six or eight times? |
23025 | Did you speak? |
23025 | Eh? |
23025 | Foch said that he won the war by smoking his pipe, but does any one believe that the great commander won the war by not working? |
23025 | How can he best perform it? |
23025 | How many times can a man be expected to answer such a question with a smile? |
23025 | In this case which of the women should extend the first invitation? |
23025 | Is it not, after all, much better for people to meet face to face instead of hiding themselves behind masks? |
23025 | Is it right for him to do so? |
23025 | Is there any one who can not sympathize with a"sucker- sore"attendant? |
23025 | It is dangerous( is it necessary to add that it is incorrect?) |
23025 | LADIES FIRST? |
23025 | Meantime, what shall the office boy do? |
23025 | Now how-- this is our problem-- does one go about making a gentleman? |
23025 | Say that again, will you?'' |
23025 | Shall the office boy remind him of this? |
23025 | Should she draw on the savings bank for more delicate viands? |
23025 | Should she, for the great occasion, hire more beautiful china and engage servants? |

23025 | WHO AM I? |
23025 | What right have people to bother other people with perfectly foolish and imbecile questions? |
23025 | Will it make him feel like placing more responsibility on his assistant''s shoulders to see him living beyond his means? |
23025 | Will you be seated here in the reception room,"motioning toward the door which is at one side of his desk,"while I find out if he is busy?" |
23025 | Will you let me come back some day when you are not so busy and tell you more about it?" |
23025 | Would he have gained anything by proving that his house was superior to Hicks and Hicks? |
23025 | Would it have mattered? |
23025 | Would not people come to the place which gave them the best service? |
23025 | Would not the same principle work in a bank? |
23025 | XIV LADIES FIRST? |

17274 | Is not studying architecture seeing the finest mansions and galleries and cathedrals? |
17274 | Is there no bosom where poor Magdalene can sob out her bitter confession? |
17274 | No one guide them to the two great strategic centres of the Black Forest and Trieste? |

34258 | Do you know that man Jones that lives in Philadelphia? |
34258 | How many does he have in his family? |
34258 | Is that so? 34258 Oh, is that so? |
34258 | Oh,but you say,"did n''t he have any capital?" |
34258 | Well,I said,"does the owner of this machine ever drive it himself?" |
34258 | What business are you in? |
34258 | What church does he go to? |
34258 | What has happened now? |
34258 | What is the use of trying that? |
34258 | What ticket does he vote? |
34258 | Where did he come from? |
34258 | Why ca n''t you go into the mercantile business? |
34258 | Why do n''t you ask your own children right here in your own house what to make? |
34258 | Young man, do you think you are going to get rich on capital? |
34258 | 1240?" |
34258 | A gentleman gets up back there, and says,"Do n''t you think there are some things in this world that are better than money?" |
34258 | As a rule, the rich man will not allow his son to work-- and his mother? |
34258 | But he acted upon the hint, and the next morning when Mary came down the stairway, he asked,"What do you want for a toy?" |
34258 | But suppose I go into school and say,"Who sunk the_ Merrimac_ at Santiago?" |
34258 | But this did occur many times, friends: A man would come in the store, and say to me,"Do you keep jack- knives?" |
34258 | Did the nation owe him anything? |
34258 | Did you ever see a man who struts around altogether too large to notice an ordinary working mechanic? |
34258 | Do you carry on your store like that in Philadelphia? |
34258 | Do you suppose I would get in front of my men to be shot in front by the enemy and in the back by my own men? |
34258 | Do you suppose we are keeping this store to supply the whole neighborhood with jack- knives?" |
34258 | Do you think he is great? |
34258 | Do you think it is a man with a head like a bushel measure or a man like a stroke of lightning? |
34258 | Do you think it is? |
34258 | For as John Jacob Astor sat on that bench he was watching the ladies as they went by; and where is the man who would not get rich at that business? |
34258 | Has Ali Hafed returned?" |
34258 | He called him in one day to make fun of him, and said,"Rastus, I hear that all the rest of your company are killed, and why are you not killed?" |

34258 | His little girl came and said,"Why, you have a patent, have n''t you?" |
34258 | How came he to lose 87- 1/2 cents? |
34258 | I got on to the seat with the driver of that limousine, outside, and when we were going up I asked the driver,"How much did this limousine cost?" |
34258 | I have come now to the heart of the whole matter and to the center of my struggle: Why is n''t Philadelphia a greater city in its greater wealth? |
34258 | I remember saying to myself,"Why did he reserve that story for his''particular friends''?" |
34258 | If you had a store in Philadelphia would you answer me like that? |
34258 | If you know a great man in Philadelphia and you should meet him to- morrow, you would say,"How are you, Sam?" |
34258 | Now what is my lesson in that incident? |
34258 | Now who can say but some person going down with his drill in Philadelphia will find some trace of a diamond- mine yet down here? |
34258 | Now, will you take that Bible and read it yourself, and give the proper emphasis to it?" |
34258 | Some men say,"Do n''t you sympathize with the poor people?" |
34258 | Some people say to me,"Do n''t you exaggerate?" |
34258 | Then a third man came right in the same door and said,"Do you keep jack- knives?" |
34258 | Then another farmer would come in and say,"Do you keep jack- knives?" |
34258 | Then he asked me,"Were you brought up on a farm?" |
34258 | Then he said to me,"How is it going in the field?" |
34258 | Well, I wonder what his wife thinks about that? |
34258 | What are you asking all these questions for?" |
34258 | What did I care about that man, anyhow? |
34258 | What do you want with diamonds?" |
34258 | What is that? |
34258 | What is the use of my talking if people never do what I advise them to do? |
34258 | What was John Jacob Astor doing out there, and in partnership with people who had failed on his own hands? |
34258 | When are you going to be great?" |
34258 | When will you manufacturers learn that you must know the changing needs of humanity if you would succeed in life? |
34258 | When will you salesmen learn it? |
34258 | When you say a woman does n''t invent anything, I ask, Who invented the Jacquard loom that wove every stitch you wear? |
34258 | When?" |

12426 | Did our readers ever see a London housemaid cleaning the doorsteps of a London house? |
12426 | Does this sound like an enigma? |
12426 | How can we otherwise account for the change which has taken place in language, which is not the same that it was fifty years ago? |

12426 | What then is the reason why dress has become so expensive? |
12426 | When we may, why should we not choose the best and most becoming? |
12426 | Whether in a crop, or twisted up in a coil? |
12426 | Whether in plaits or bows? |
12426 | Who could endure for life the vulgarity of mind that suggested such a costume for a fête in the country on a hot summer''s day? |

12426 | Who would dream of placing a Grecian portico to an Elizabethan building? |
12426 | Why are we to mortify ourselves and annoy our friends by choosing something because it is especially hideous? |
12426 | Why attempt to wear a bonnet of almost primitive form with dresses of modern dimensions and style? |
12426 | Why is she afraid to wear her own grey hair? |
12426 | Why should it be made of so much consequence as to write a manual upon it? |
12426 | Why then endeavour to combine old fashions with new? |

37358 | And how does increasing capacity express itself? |
37358 | And is not the cultivation of character, therefore, an absurd futility? |
37358 | And why urge people to make an effort in this or that direction if everything, including the effort or its absence, is determined? |
37358 | And, asks the Professor, can science tell us which is correct? |
37358 | Are we then to discard the use of such a word as"freedom"altogether? |
37358 | But, asks Professor James, looking outwardly at these two universes, can anyone say which is the accidental and which is the necessary one? |
37358 | But, it is further asked, how can this be aught but an illusion if I am not the real and determining cause of my conduct? |
37358 | C. C. DETERMINISM OR FREE- WILL? |
37358 | DETERMINISM OR FREE- WILL? |
37358 | Determinism OR Free- Will? |
37358 | Determinism, he says, professes that"those parts of the universe already laid down absolutely appoint and decree( Why''appoint''and''decree''? |
37358 | Eliminate from this all that is matter of common agreement between Determinists and Indeterminists, and what have we left but sheer verbal confusion? |
37358 | Finally, if the above be granted, can we longer attach meaning to the expression that man forms his own character? |
37358 | How does he acquire it? |
37358 | How is the Determinist to meet the attack? |
37358 | How shall we determine what his motives were? |
37358 | In Mill''s words, can we exchange the necessity to do wrong for the necessity to do right? |
37358 | Is it any more than an expression of our ignorance of the power of particular factors, and a consequent ignorance of their resultant? |
37358 | Must I not conclude that I am no more the determining cause of my conduct than a stone determines whether it shall fall to the ground or not? |
37358 | Now in thus tracing the course of a voluntary action are we doing any more than observing the action of desire in consciousness? |
37358 | One need only ask, by way of reply, Why does the"will"declare in favour of one desire rather than another? |
37358 | Or as Hume put it more elaborately:--"What is meant by liberty when applied to voluntary actions? |
37358 | The question is, What does consciousness really tell us, and how far is its testimony valid? |
37358 | The question really is, Why have we chosen thus or thus? |
37358 | The question then becomes,"What is his character? |
37358 | The real nature of morality is best seen if one asks oneself the question,"What is morality?" |
37358 | The real question is why do I choose this rather than that? |
37358 | What do we mean by character? |
37358 | What is it that constitutes an act of volition, or supplies us with the fact of will? |
37358 | What is it that people have in their minds when they speak of the"Freedom of the Will"? |
37358 | What is it, now, that has occurred? |
37358 | What is the use of praising or blaming if each one does what heredity, constitution, and environment compels? |
37358 | What is, then, the testimony of consciousness? |
37358 | What would then be the scope and character of morality? |
37358 | What, now, is the insuperable dilemma which Professor James places before upholders of Determinism? |
37358 | What, then, is meant by ability to appreciate consequences? |
37358 | Why does the"will"pronounce in favour of one desire rather than another? |
37358 | Why hold him responsible for the expressions of a character provided for him, and for the influence of an environment which he had no part in forming? |
37358 | Why is there a choice or selection of things or actions? |
37358 | Why not let things drift? |
37358 | Why not the impersonal word''determine?'') |
37358 | Why punish a man for being what he is? |
37358 | Why should it have this effect? |
37358 | Would there be any moral laws or moral feelings left? |
37358 | Would there even be a man left under such conditions? |
37358 | [ 8] And whence the varieties of character?" |
46777 | And is there a remedy? |
46777 | And who would have it otherwise? |
46777 | Are you possessed of fearthought, or anger, or worry, or suspicion, or jealousy, or envy, or malice, or indifference at this moment? |
46777 | Can a non- contagious disease become contagious by mental action? |
46777 | Did you ever hear anything so grand? |
46777 | Do n''t you mind when you have pleasant shivers, what a delightful feeling it is? |
46777 | Does lightning sometimes strike people and kill them? |
46777 | Fearthought wrings its hands, and wastes its time in saying,"How can I ever do it?" |
46777 | How does fear operate upon the body to produce sickness? |
46777 | How shall we accomplish it? |
46777 | I wonder what sort of a Fourth of July they are having? |
46777 | Our question would naturally be,"Do the people of your country_ ever_ strike women?" |
46777 | The question then is:"What will he do with it?" |
46777 | Then why should we fear even death? |
46777 | What determines the specific nature of the disease which attacks a person thus prostrated by fear? |
46777 | What have I done to deserve such a fate? |
46777 | Which of these men would recover more quickly, and which of them would suffer more discomfort? |
46777 | Which racer would win? |

19696 | And do we realize how many Shelleys we may actually have lost already? |
19696 | And how did we treat them from the first? |
19696 | And how do they account for the flourishing condition of some of our other arts? |
19696 | And this was eleven years after that brave spirit''s single cry of reproach:"Why can we poets dream us beauty, so, But can not dream us bread?" |
19696 | And what is a man''s own soul but a small stream of the infinite, eternal water of life? |
19696 | And what is heaven but a vast harbor where myriad streams of soul flow down, returning at last to their Source in the bliss of perfect reunion? |
19696 | And why should their strongest, most original, most significant work be precisely in the sphere of poetic, suggestive landscape, and ideal sculpture? |

19696 | But then, why should any haphazard group of creative artists be expected to be judicial, anyway? |
19696 | But"is not he hospitable,"asks Thoreau,"who entertains good thoughts?" |
19696 | Do your senses say you sooth? |
19696 | For is it any less praiseworthy to make a master than to make a masterpiece? |
19696 | How do they explain the fact that our annual expenditure on the art of music is six times that of Germany, the Fatherland of Tone? |
19696 | If we are hopelessly materialistic, why should American painters and sculptors have such a high world- standing? |
19696 | If we would bring joy to the masses why not first vitalize the classes? |

19696 | What made the game of art so brilliant in the age of Pericles? |

19696 | Why endow these would- be interpreters of poetry, to the neglect of the class of artists whose work they profess to interpret? |
19696 | Why has art never again reached the Periclean plane? |
19696 | Why has the present renaissance of the poetry- lover not brought with it a renaissance of the American poet? |
19696 | Why have we never had a Wordsworth, or a Browning? |
19696 | Why should not a few thousands out of the millions we spend on education be used to found fellowships of creative poetry? |
19696 | Why? |
19696 | Why? |
19696 | Wordsworth''s lines on Chatterton have a wider application:"What treasure found he? |

58136 | Are we sure,asks a French author,"that the ideas which flow from great men of genius are exclusively their own work? |
58136 | [ 14] What, after all, is involved in the acceptance of such a conclusion? 58136 [ 30] Can an honest and unbiased thinker doubt that the first is the truer statement? |
58136 | Can a man be possessed of love, greatness, nobility, courage, honour, at a word of command? |
58136 | Can we be content to believe that no force exists that is not susceptible to physical analysis? |
58136 | Do they not react to the same God? |
58136 | How is it then that people even of the highest intelligence do not invariably agree about what_ is_ good or morally right? |
58136 | Is it surprising, then, that morality is garbed in the changing coat of a chameleon? |
58136 | Is it the search for truth? |
58136 | Is not mind and matter subject to the same law? |
58136 | It demands an answer to the eternal question: What is the Ultimate Good? |
58136 | Or if he had done so that he would have attained as striking a result as by the fire of his oratory? |
58136 | That what is held moral to- day is immoral to- morrow, and that what is held immoral here is moral elsewhere? |
58136 | What is religion? |
58136 | What is there to fear? |
58136 | What matter, then, if we adopt the formula of Pampsychism and assert that"all individual things are animated albeit in divers degrees"? |
58136 | Yet is it true to say that there can be no possible alternative to what the consensus of opinion in any one country considers morally right? |

4225 | And finally the man or woman must be fully adult. ” “ Twenty- one? |
4225 | And what after all is my distinctive something, a few capacities, a few incapacities, an uncertain memory, a hesitating presence? |
4225 | Are I and my respectable colleagues much more than successful evasions of THAT? |
4225 | Are they an hereditary cast, a specially educated order, an elected class? |

4225 | But who can define cruelty? |
4225 | Do I believe that, had one a mind ideally clear and powerful, the whole universe would seem orderly and absolutely predestined? |
4225 | Do not these unavoidable barriers to public service, or religious work, stand on a special footing? |
4225 | Do you note how in this that I have written, such a word as Believer will begin to wear a capital letter and give itself solemn ridiculous airs? |
4225 | Does courage always ensure us victory? |
4225 | Does it follow that thought is futile and discussion vain? |
4225 | For a splendid thing any risk or any defiance may be justifiable, but is it a sufficiently splendid thing? |
4225 | How do these beliefs on which I base my rule of conduct stand to Christianity? |
4225 | How far is the leaving of a third person to count as cruelty? |
4225 | How is a man then to behave towards these test oaths and affirmations, towards repeating creeds, signing assent to articles of religion and the like? |
4225 | How may he best do this? |
4225 | How then are we to think and argue and what truth may we attain? |
4225 | Is not the method of the scientific investigator a valid one, and is there not truth to the world of fact in scientific laws? |
4225 | Is the Catholic Church merely the Roman communion or does it include the Greek and Protestant Churches? |

4225 | Is the whole of this scheme of things settled and done? |
4225 | It matters no doubt in its place and time, as all things matter in their place and time, but where in it all is the eternally indispensable? |

34863 | Avoid using unmeaning or vulgar phrases in speaking, as, You do n''t say so? |
34863 | But can not common subjects be talked of religiously? |
34863 | But what is that chapter? |
34863 | But which_ is_ the nominative in the expression alluded to? |
34863 | But, if you must talk about people, why not about their good traits and deeds? |

34863 | I ask you, as those who can judge in this matter for yourselves,"Is it not so? |
34863 | I own that I did not come soon enough; but_ because why_? |
34863 | If you were to enter a room, and, finding a person lying on the sofa, were to address him with such a question as"What are you doing there?" |
34863 | In the ancient and time- honored ditty, however, of"Mistress Mary, Quite_ contrary_, How does your garden grow?" |
34863 | In using a relative pronoun in the objective case, it is more elegant to put the preposition before than after it, thus,"To whom was the order given?" |
34863 | Is Mr. Smith_ in_? |
34863 | Is it not so most undeniably?" |
34863 | Is this or that the_ best_ road? |
34863 | It is also incorrect to employ_ no_ for_ not_ in such phrases as,"If it is true or_ no_( not),""Is it so or_ no_( not)?" |
34863 | Pray, sir, who_ may you be_? |
34863 | The question which naturally arises in the mind of the discriminating hearer is,"_ What_ are you going to lay down,--money, carpets, plans, or what?" |
34863 | What are you_ doing of_? |
34863 | What did they set,--potatoes, traps, or what? |
34863 | What office does it perform? |
34863 | Where is it more clearly, more mightily told than in the third chapter of St. John''s gospel? |
34863 | Who are the persons that are performing the act of"coming to see"? |
34863 | Who are the persons to whom the act of"coming to see"extends? |
34863 | Who, do you ask, is that? |
34863 | Whose are_ these here books_? |

18394 | ''How? |
18394 | ''Most time for supper? |
18394 | A fondness for good literature, for good fiction, for travel, for history, and for biography,--what is better than this? |
18394 | And if this be good for one''s self, why not try the song, the poem, the picture, and the good words, on some one else? |
18394 | And what better can be said than to compare the heart''s good cheer to a floral offering? |
18394 | Are not buoyant spirits like water sparkling when it runs? |
18394 | Are there not multitudes of people who have the"blues,"who yet wish well to their neighbors? |
18394 | Did not Lycurgus set up the god of laughter in the Spartan eating- halls? |
18394 | Happy, then, is the man, who may well laugh to himself over his good luck, who can answer the old question,"How old are you?" |
18394 | Hastily putting her hand against the door, she said:"Pardon me, but you have rendered me such service, may I not know whom I am thanking?" |
18394 | Have you not sometimes seen a business manager whose stiffness would serve as"a good example to a poker?" |
18394 | How can God die? |
18394 | How do you manage it?" |
18394 | How?'' |
18394 | I said, in surprise,"You are not putting your face to that broken pane to keep the wind from me, are you?" |
18394 | Is it not an absolute necessity to get rid of all irritants, of everything which worries and frets, and which brings discord into so many lives? |
18394 | Is it not worth while to make an effort to see the funny side of our petty annoyances? |
18394 | Is not a jolly physician of greater service than his pills? |
18394 | Is not the will almost omnipotent to determine habits before they become all- powerful? |
18394 | May I help you?" |
18394 | Shall a disciplined imagination fill the mind with beautiful pictures? |

3356 | ''Lei Padrone'', and I give you your choice: would you pass the months of November and December at Brunswick, Cassel, etc.? |
3356 | --and what do you think of it? |
3356 | A propos of languages: Did you improve your Italian while you were at Paris, or did you forget it? |
3356 | And does your daily experience at once extend and demonstrate your improvement? |
3356 | Are you to give an account of anything to a mixed company? |
3356 | As, for instance, should I say in French,''la lettre que je vous ai ECRIT'', or,''la lettre que je vous ai ECRITE''? |
3356 | But then, on the other hand, what a drawback would it be to that happiness, if you should never acquire them? |
3356 | But what will you say, when I tell you truly, that I can not possibly read our countryman Milton through? |
3356 | By what means? |
3356 | Can there be anything in the world less relative to any other man''s health, than my drinking a glass of wine? |
3356 | Did you ever know anybody that reunited all these talents? |
3356 | Do you find that you gain knowledge? |
3356 | Had you a master there? |
3356 | Have you discovered what variety of little things affect the heart, and how surely they collectively gain it? |
3356 | Have you found out that every woman is infallibly to be gained by every sort of flattery, and every man by one sort or other? |
3356 | Have you got the things, which were taken from you at Calais, restored? |
3356 | He hath, continue they, a good head, a good heart, a good fund of knowledge, which would increase daily: What would you have more? |
3356 | I answer: Why not? |
3356 | I have wrote, about a month ago, to Lord Albemarle, to thank him for all his kindnesses to you; but pray have you done as much? |
3356 | I often succeeded; but why? |
3356 | If a man were never to be in business, and always to lead a private life, would he not desire to please and to persuade? |
3356 | If you set out well at one- and- twenty, what may you not reasonably hope to be at one- and- forty? |
3356 | In this case, have you forwarded it to him? |
3356 | Is it for your sake, or for mine? |
3356 | Is the King a slave to the Church, though a tyrant to the laity? |

3356 | MY DEAR FRIEND: Whereabouts are you in Ariosto? |
3356 | Nay, you have an Horace there as well as an Augustus; I need not name Voltaire,''qui nil molitur inept?'' |
3356 | Now, pray let me ask you, coolly and seriously,''pourquoi ces couches manquent- elles''? |
3356 | Or, lastly, would you go to Copenhagen and Stockholm? |
3356 | Que me donnerez- vous, et je vous le presenterai''? |
3356 | There I should be immediately asked:''Mais qu''est ce que c''est donc que ce petit Sapajou que vous avez embrasse si tendrement? |

3356 | Was it his estate? |
3356 | Was it his learning, his parts, his political abilities and application? |
3356 | Was love ever painted with more truth and''morbidezza''than in the ninth book? |
3356 | What are they? |
3356 | What can be more clear and rational than all his philosophical letters? |
3356 | What can be more seducing and voluptuous, than the description of Alcina''s person and palace? |
3356 | What can be more touching, or more interesting-- what more nobly thought, or more happily expressed, than all his dramatic pieces? |
3356 | What descriptions ever excited more horror than those, first of the Massacre, and then of the Famine at Paris? |
3356 | What hurt would it do him or me? |
3356 | What was it then? |
3356 | Whenever you leave Hanover, be it sooner or be it later, where would you go? |
3356 | Why do you think I have this affair so extremely at heart, and why do I repeat it so often? |
3356 | Why? |
3356 | With your knowledge and parts, if adorned by manners and graces, what may you not hope one day to be? |
3356 | Would you go to Brussels, stay a month or two there with Dayrolles, and from thence to Mr. Yorke, at The Hague? |
3356 | Would you pass a couple of months at Ratisbon, which might not be ill employed? |
3356 | Would you saunter at some of the small courts, as Brunswick, Cassel, etc., till the Carnival at Berlin? |
3356 | and what Italian books did you read with him? |
3356 | and whatever was so graceful, and gentle, as all his little poetical trifles? |
3356 | and, among them, the little packet which my sister gave you for Sir Charles Hotham? |
3356 | avez vous a la fin fixd la belle Marquise? |
3356 | or are you to endeavor to persuade either man or woman? |
3356 | or would you rather go directly to Berlin, and stay there till the end of the Carnival? |
3356 | would you have him perfect? |
3352 | ''A propos'': tell me do you speak that language correctly, and do you write it with ease? |
3352 | And if you do not, what may I not reasonably fear you will be? |
3352 | And what French books do you read for your amusement? |
3352 | And why not? |
3352 | And why should she not meet with it? |
3352 | Are the regular Romish clergy allowed; and have they any convents? |
3352 | Are there any military orders in Saxony, and what? |
3352 | But I mean, do you make the most of the respective allotments of your time? |
3352 | But am I blamable if I do a good action, upon account of the happiness which that honest consciousness will give me? |
3352 | Can he banish any subject out of his dominions by his own authority? |
3352 | Can he lay any tax whatsoever upon his subjects, without the consent of the states of Saxony? |
3352 | Can he, by his own authority, confine any subject in prison as long as he pleases, without trial? |
3352 | Can you get through an"Oration"of Cicero, or a"Satire"of Horace, without difficulty? |
3352 | Can you open Demosthenes at a venture, and understand him? |
3352 | Do the clergy make part of them? |
3352 | Do we ever hear the most recent fact related exactly in the same way, by the several people who were at the same time eyewitnesses of it? |
3352 | Do you employ your whole time in the most useful manner? |
3352 | Do you ever go to either of those houses, at leisure times? |
3352 | Do you mind your dancing while your dancing- master is with you? |
3352 | Do you play, or sup, or is it only''la belle conversation?'' |
3352 | Falsehood and dissimulation are certainly to be found at courts; but where are they not to be found? |

3352 | Have you assemblies, or public spectacles? |
3352 | Have you carried no English or French comedies of tragedies with you to Leipsig? |

3352 | One man affirms that he has rode post an hundred miles in six hours; probably it is a lie: but supposing it to be true, what then? |

3352 | Will you throw this time away either in laziness, or in trifles? |
3352 | and of what kind are they? |
3352 | and what are those states? |
3352 | and what is the greatest number that the electorate is able to maintain? |
3352 | and when, and how often do they meet? |
3352 | and will the decision of that court be final, or does there lie an appeal to the imperial chamber at Wetzlaer? |
3352 | at least, what do you think him? |
3352 | how are they elected? |
3352 | or''Plait- il''? |

12811 | Did I expect this twenty years ago? |
12811 | Did you ever hear of such a thing?'' |
12811 | Did you suppose it was changed by magic, or by Acts of Parliament, or by the action of groups on persons, and not of persons on groups? |
12811 | Do we ever at all examine it save in an amateurish and clumsy fashion? |
12811 | Do you desire with your brain? |
12811 | Do you love your mother, wife, or children with your brain? |
12811 | Do you remember the gentleness of the tone which you employed after the healing of your first quarrel with a beloved companion? |
12811 | Do you remember the persuasive tone which you used when you wanted to obtain something from a difficult person on whom your happiness depended? |
12811 | Do you, in a word, ultimately and essentially_ live_ with your brain? |
12811 | Does n''t it strike you how badly you are treating yourself?'' |
12811 | Have you not gloomily regretted that you were born without a mechanical turn, because there is really something about a machine...? |
12811 | How can I alter myself? |
12811 | How does the machine get through it? |
12811 | How have you tried to stop it? |
12811 | How is this skill to be acquired? |
12811 | How should they treat him as a reasonable being when the tenure of his reason is so insecure? |
12811 | I ca n''t help that, can I?'' |
12811 | I repeat: Why not deliberately adopt a gentle, persuasive tone-- just to see what the results are? |
12811 | If happiness arises from cheerfulness, kindliness, and rectitude( and who will deny it? |
12811 | If you really believe this, why make any effort at all? |
12811 | In that moment have you not wished-- do you not continually wish-- for an exhaustless machine, a machine that you could never get to the end of? |
12811 | Is human nature the same now as in the days of Babylonian civilisation, when the social machine was oiled by drenchings of blood? |
12811 | Is it beneath you to ensure the largest possible amount of your own''way''by the simplest means? |
12811 | Is it the same now as in the days of Greek civilisation, when there was no such thing as romantic love between the sexes? |
12811 | Is it the same now as it was during the centuries when constant friction had to provide its own cure in the shape of constant war? |
12811 | Now, if these great transformations can be brought about by accident, can not similar transformations be brought about by a reasonable design? |
12811 | Only I really must cry out:''Ca n''t you see what you''re missing? |
12811 | Only-- which of the two devices ought to be accused of harshness and callousness? |
12811 | Or is it in watching over all my daily human contacts? |
12811 | The historic question:''Have we free- will, or are we the puppets of determinism?'' |
12811 | Well, if they do n''t? |
12811 | What does London give me in exchange?'' |
12811 | What is the difference between that conscious habit and the unconscious habits? |
12811 | What is there to prevent this agreeable consummation? |
12811 | What object can there be in trying to control yourself in any manner whatever if you are unalterable? |
12811 | What was our brain doing while this naughty person stepped in and robbed us of the only possessions worth having? |
12811 | What, is he''wrong in the head''? |
12811 | Where has the human machine gone wrong? |
12811 | Where? |
12811 | Which of them is truly kind? |
12811 | Who would n''t be? |
12811 | Why does he persist in eating more than his digestion will tolerate? |
12811 | Why does he so often sulk with his wife? |
12811 | Why does n''t he--?'' |
12811 | Why is he worried about finance? |
12811 | Why not let the whole business beautifully slide and yield to your instincts? |
12811 | Why not? |
12811 | Why should not your tone always combine these qualities? |
12811 | Why should you not carefully school your tone? |
12811 | Why? |
12811 | Will it serve any end whatever that I should buzz nervously round this circumstance instead of attending to my usual business?'' |
12811 | Will the brain, like a sensible creature, leave that disappointment alone, and instead of living in the past live in the present or the future? |
12811 | With all your cynicism, have you never envied them their machine and their passionate interest in it? |

8467 | ''What did I do with my table napkin? 8467 ''Without breaking it through with your spoon?'' |

8467 | ''What blunders could I make? |
8467 | And after your egg?'' |
8467 | And what did you do with the shell?'' |
8467 | And why not go into a mixed company with as much ease and as little concern as you would go into your own room? |
8467 | Can not truth be spoken in courteous accents from a kind, gentle impulse, as well as blurted out rudely and giving pain and mortification? |
8467 | Does any man receive promotion because he is a notable blusterer? |
8467 | Does this sound like an enigma? |
8467 | How did you drink yours?'' |
8467 | I am sure you do, if you would speak honestly, and, if so, how can you suppose servants should expect otherwise? |
8467 | In an evil moment he said, without being conscious of the triteness of his remark:"Do you not think, sir, that Milton was a great genius?" |
8467 | In the first place, there was your table napkin-- what did you do with that when you sat down to table?'' |
8467 | Is not good temper virtuous and polite, bad temper vicious and vulgar? |
8467 | Is not self denial virtuous and polite, selfishness vicious and vulgar? |
8467 | Is not truth virtuous and polite, scandal vicious and vulgar? |
8467 | It is true that roughness and sincerity often abide together, but would it destroy the honesty to polish away the roughness? |
8467 | Most people have heard of the gentleman(?) |
8467 | Nothing is more trying to the feelings of a hostess than to see a number of wallflowers ornamenting(?) |
8467 | Or is any man advanced to dignity because he is expert at profane swearing? |
8467 | To ask a friend abruptly,"For whom are you in mourning?" |
8467 | Well, and after the_ bouilli_?'' |
8467 | What did you take next?'' |
8467 | What soup had you?'' |
8467 | What, then, should you be ashamed of? |

3355 | ''A propos'', have you yet found out at Paris, any friendly and hospitable Madame de Lursay,''qui veut bien se charger du soin de vous eduquer''? |
3355 | ''Faites- vous assaut aux armes? |
3355 | All those little gallantries depend entirely upon the manner of doing them; as, in truth, what does not? |
3355 | And does not good sense and common observation, show of what infinite use it is to please? |
3355 | And has the Pope''s nuncio included you in the jubilee? |
3355 | And have you had any occasion of representing to her,''qu''elle faisoit donc des noeuds''? |
3355 | And is not the golden bull of Charles the Fourth equally the rule for both? |
3355 | And were those restrictions legal, and did they obtain the force of law? |
3355 | Are you acquainted with Madame Geoffrain, who has a great deal of wit; and who, I am informed, receives only the very best company in her house? |

3355 | Do you take them, do you make a progress in them? |
3355 | Do you understand Ariosto, Tasso, Boccaccio and Machiavelli? |
3355 | Does not good- nature incline us to please all those we converse with, of whatever rank or station they may be? |
3355 | Does she listen to your Battering tale? |
3355 | Does she sometimes knot, and are you her Meilcour? |
3355 | Does the House expect extraordinary informations from them? |
3355 | Does the invincible modesty of the handsome Madame Case discourage, more than her beauty invites you? |
3355 | For instance, where it is that you dine every Friday, in company with that amiable and respectable old man, Fontenelle? |
3355 | From hand to arms the transition is natural; is the carriage and motion of your arms so too? |
3355 | Has Monsieur de Pignatelli the honor of being one of your humble servants? |
3355 | Have you any footing at the Nuncio''s, or at the Imperial and Spanish ambassadors? |

3355 | Have you seen what you have seen thoroughly? |
3355 | Have you''un gout vif'', or a passion for anybody? |
3355 | How are you with the other foreign ministers at Paris? |
3355 | How do your exercises go on? |
3355 | How go you on with the amiable little Blot? |
3355 | How so? |
3355 | I am sorry that your two sons- in- law[?? |
3355 | I am sorry that your two sons- in- law[?? |
3355 | If you frequent any of the myriads of polite Englishmen who infest Paris, who are they? |
3355 | Is Madame------your Madame de Lursay? |
3355 | Is he satisfied? |
3355 | Is it possible to love such a man? |
3355 | Is it that their matter is better, or their arguments stronger, than other people''s? |
3355 | Is it the respectable character of Madame de la Valiere which prevents your daring, or are you intimidated at the fierce virtue of Madame du Pin? |
3355 | Is it''le fracas du grand monde, comedies, bals, operas, cour,''etc.? |
3355 | Is not a King of the Romans as legally elected by the votes of a majority of the electors, as by two- thirds, or by the unanimity of the electors? |
3355 | It contains even epigrams; what can one wish for more? |
3355 | MY DEAR FRIEND: What a happy period of your life is this? |
3355 | Mr. Pitt and Mr. Murray the solicitor- general, uncle to Lord Stormount, are, beyond comparison, the best speakers; why? |
3355 | Old as I am, and little thinking of women, God knows, I am very far from being negligent of my dress; and why? |
3355 | Or is it''des petites societes, moins bruyantes, mais pas pour cela moins agreables''? |
3355 | Pray who is''la belle Madame de Case'', whom I know you frequent? |
3355 | Tell me also freely how you are with Lord Huntingdon: Do you see him often? |
3355 | To come to another subject( for I have a pleasure in talking over every subject with you): How deep are you in Italian? |
3355 | Voyez vous encore jour, a quelque arrangement honnete? |
3355 | What says Madame du Pin to you? |
3355 | What then remains for you to do? |
3355 | Where are you the most''etabli''? |

3355 | Which is the house where you think yourself at home? |
3355 | Who are the young Frenchmen with whom you are most intimately connected? |
3355 | Why? |
3355 | Why? |
3355 | Why? |
3355 | You may have many inaccuracies( and to be sure you have, for who has not at your age?) |
3355 | You will say, it may be, that when you write so very ill, it is because you are in a hurry, to which I answer, Why are you ever in a hurry? |
3355 | what should hinder you from daring? |
3355 | whose house is most your home? |
22105 | ''Why even of yourselves,''He said,''judge ye not what is right?'' |

22105 | ''[ 9] The question,''What would Jesus do?'' |
22105 | ( 1) What was Christ''s ideal of the Christian life? |
22105 | ( 3) The question arises, Which is the normal experience? |
22105 | 82 Is Man free to choose the Good? |
22105 | And first, What is the supreme good? |
22105 | And if he is made for God, how is he so opposite to God? |
22105 | And if it be still asked, What is the great inducement? |
22105 | And is there not something sublime in this demand of God that the noblest part of man should be consecrated to Him? |
22105 | And may not they, too, be consecrated to the glory of God? |
22105 | And, on the other hand, if a man is once alive to his real good, how can he do otherwise than pursue it? |
22105 | Are Christians to stand apart from the coming battle, and preach only the great salvation to individual souls? |
22105 | Are not the joys of life, and even its amusements, among God''s gifts designed for the enriching of character? |
22105 | But is not character, with which Ethics confessedly deals, just that concerning which no definite conclusions can be predicted? |
22105 | But what is this commonsense of which the ordinary man vaunts himself? |
22105 | But, as has been pertinently asked,''How does he know that the earth is solid on which he builds?'' |
22105 | Can man choose and decide for a spiritual world above that in which he is by nature involved? |
22105 | Christian Ethics, on the other hand, is concerned primarily with the question, By what power can a man achieve the right and do the good? |
22105 | Christianity is the supreme type of religion because it best answers the question,''What can religion do for life?'' |
22105 | Does not the example of Jesus offer a simpler and more natural ideal? |
22105 | Does not the very existence of physical science imply the priority of thought? |
22105 | For as he himself teaches, the question,''What should I do?'' |
22105 | For what should a man live? |
22105 | Hence the chief business of Ethics is to answer the question: What is the supreme good? |
22105 | Hence the practical problem which Christian Ethics has to face is, How can the spiritual ideal be made a reality? |
22105 | How do I know it? |
22105 | If this is not Christian work, what is?'' |
22105 | If we ask who is the good man? |
22105 | In the collision of opinions who is to arbitrate? |
22105 | Is Ethics a Science? |
22105 | Is it a personal God, or is it only an impersonal spirit, which pervades and interpenetrates the universe? |
22105 | Is it an ego, a thinking self? |
22105 | Is not conduct, dependent as it is on the human will, just the element in man which can not be explained as the resultant of calculable forces? |
22105 | Is the kingdom of God a realm apart and separate from all the other domains of activity? |
22105 | Is the ultimate of life a state in which conscience will pervade every department of a man''s being, dominating all his thoughts and activities? |
22105 | It is characteristic of him that when he discusses the question, Is life worth living? |
22105 | It is not enough to ask what is most attractive, what line of life will ensure the greatest material gain or worldly honour? |
22105 | It proposes the three great questions involved in all ethical inquiry-- whither? |
22105 | Men are impatiently asking,''Has the Church no message to the new demands of the age? |
22105 | No longer content with blindly accepting the formulae of the past, men are prompted to ask, whence do these customs come, and what is their authority? |
22105 | Plato''s discussion of the question,''What is the highest good?'' |
22105 | Rather should we ask, Where shall I be safest from moral danger, and, above all, in what position of life, open to me, can I do the most good? |
22105 | The prime question is, What is the nature of its testimony? |
22105 | The prime question of Christian Ethics is, How ought Christians to order their lives? |
22105 | The question for each is, How much can he make of them? |
22105 | The question for the utilitarian must always arise,''How far ought I to follow my natural desires, and how far my altruistic?'' |
22105 | The question has been seriously asked, Can the example and teaching of Jesus be really adopted in modern life as the pattern and rule of conduct? |
22105 | The question has constantly arisen, Which is the more important for life-- what we receive or what we create? |
22105 | The question, therefore, which arises is, Whence comes the idea of duty which is an undeniable fact of our experience? |
22105 | The word does not, indeed, occur in the Old Testament, but the question of God to Adam,''Where art thou?'' |
22105 | To horde[ Transcriber''s note: hoard?] |
22105 | We are constrained to ask what is this independent spiritual life? |
22105 | What am I and how do I know? |
22105 | What does it matter to him whether Nero be a devil or a saint? |
22105 | What is it that makes the life of the Christian worth living? |
22105 | What is my purpose, what am I to do? |
22105 | What is the highest for which a man should live? |
22105 | What is the origin of the soul? |
22105 | What is the world? |
22105 | What, in short, is the ideal of life? |
22105 | What, then, are the particular forms or manifestations of character which result from the Christian interpretation of life? |
22105 | When men thus begin to reflect on the origin and connection of things, three questions at once suggest themselves-- what, how, and why? |
22105 | Whence comes this mystic power? |
22105 | Why are these philosophers so anxious to conserve the ethical consequences of life? |
22105 | [ 20] Is deception under all circumstances morally wrong? |
22105 | [ 4] But can this position be vindicated? |
22105 | [ 5]''When I dared question:"It is beautiful, But is it true?" |
22105 | and why am I here? |
22105 | and why? |
22105 | and( 2) Did Jesus regard the kingdom as purely future, or as already begun? |
22105 | how? |
22105 | leads inevitably to the further question,''What may I hope? |
22105 | or is it only a complex of vibrations or mechanical impressions bound together in a particular body which, for convenience, is called an ego? |
22105 | or is the ideal condition one in which conscience shall be outgrown and its operation rendered superfluous? |
22105 | { 153} If, therefore, we ask, What is the deepest spring of action, what is the incentive and motive power for the Christian? |
8450 | Can one handle pitch and not be defiled? |
8450 | He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? |
8450 | A wisely trained Character never stops to ask, What will society think of me if I do this thing, or if I leave it undone? |
8450 | Admitting that men differ from each other, not in kind, but in degree, the question arises, Are all men capable of an equal degree of development? |
8450 | But is the arm of the Lord shortened that he can not avenge his own wrongs? |
8450 | Could they shrink with aversion at the thought of death if they believed it to be the portal of heaven? |
8450 | Could this be, if they believed that life on earth was only a preparation for an eternal life in heaven? |
8450 | How, then, are we to understand this promise? |
8450 | If we would test the quality of our moral courage, we must ask ourselves, is it defiant? |
8450 | Shall we say this man has no creed, when his faith in the value of riches impels him to devote body and soul to the acquisition of gain? |
8450 | Shall we, therefore, deny to all, and banish from the world the refining ministrations of beauty in form and color and sweet sounds? |
8450 | The often- repeated anecdote of the Yankee stage- driver who asked of the Duke of Saxe Weimer,"Are you the man that wants an extra coach?" |
8450 | The question is never, Shall we work? |
8450 | The question rises to the mind with fearful solemnity, were they created for this end,--created to fail? |
8450 | Then does not the command to love our neighbor make us even responsible for the expressions our faces wear? |
8450 | They should be radically subdued by learning to ask one''s self,"Am I doing what is right and proper?" |
8450 | What can be more revolting than an old age cold, hard, and selfish? |
8450 | What effect have our Manners upon our usefulness as social beings? |
8450 | Where one that is not warmed and cheered, as by a sunbeam, if one enters it whose features glow with good- humor, contentment, and satisfaction? |
8450 | Who ever found Irving or Prescott dull? |
8450 | Whom shall we choose for our master? |
8450 | and who among mortals is so pure or so strong that he may dare to say, the Lord has need of him for a champion? |
8450 | but, For whom shall we work? |
8450 | does it hate its neighbor? |
8450 | instead of,"What will people think of me?" |
8450 | is it disdainful? |
8450 | is it envious? |
8450 | or are its emotions affected in any way by the opinion of the world? |
18712 | Carest Thou not that we perish? |
18712 | Is it such a task as will enlist the coöperation of the eternal spirit of truth and right? |
18712 | And did we possess them all what better off would the world be? |
18712 | Are they those that have given the tiger and the beast of prey free and full range of the life? |
18712 | Are you living thus for life, or are you living to do no more than make a living? |
18712 | But may not failure here be accounted for by the selfish basis on which men build the plea for what they call personal salvation? |
18712 | But to- day who possesses a single one of the things that young carpenter made? |
18712 | But what is the secret of happiness? |
18712 | DOES HE CARE? |
18712 | Did He not say that the man who would save his own life should lose it? |
18712 | Did they explain it away by saying that the man was made anyway for fasting and not for feasting? |
18712 | Do you not care?" |
18712 | Has this universe a heart or only an engine at its centre? |
18712 | How can we be happy unless we shall set our whole lives in harmony with the things that are fundamental and eternal? |
18712 | How can we learn to be happy when life has so much to make us sad? |
18712 | How does it work out? |
18712 | How foolish to attempt to adjust our lives by laws built out of speculation, to attempt to steer by a compass when there is no pole of truth? |
18712 | How may we discover the truth for our day, the truth upon which we may build? |
18712 | How may we find that truth which belongs to our day and in which we may have the confidence that our fathers had in their truth? |
18712 | How may we find those things that are certain? |
18712 | If you do not believe in things better, nobler, purer, how can you move towards them? |
18712 | If you do not believe men, how can you be a man? |
18712 | Is it any wonder that life is a wearisome thing, a dead drag, when you are starving its very sources? |
18712 | Is it not because in their minds religion never has been related to conduct? |
18712 | Is it not probable that many said that it was a great pity when Jesus gave up so useful a trade as His? |
18712 | Is not this enough to satisfy any man and to call forth the best in him, that he should in some way serve this glorious ideal? |
18712 | Is not this man''s purpose in this world even as it was the purpose of the one who called Himself the Son of Man? |
18712 | Is the Lord of life also the foe of our lives? |
18712 | Is the author of a world so fair and lovely, inviting us to joy and inspiring with feelings of pleasure, the foe of happiness? |
18712 | Is the search for character a passion or only a pastime? |
18712 | Is there any answer to the great question, Does any greater one care for our lives? |
18712 | Is there any one or is it steered automatically, blindly holding its way and heeding neither waves nor rocks nor other craft? |
18712 | It asks, If we are to throw life away why should it have been given to us? |
18712 | It is the question of every soul in sorrow or testing,"Does God care anything about me?" |
18712 | Of what value is all our knowledge unless we get the wisdom of right living? |
18712 | Or is religion exclusively for the dreamers and those who are contented with sentiment and feeling? |
18712 | Personal? |
18712 | THE PURPOSE OF THE COURSE The early question of the old creeds,"What is the chief end of man?" |
18712 | That we are but puppets in these strange unseen hands; that we can neither will nor work for ourselves? |
18712 | The old folks hear the new truths and ask, where are the foundations gone? |
18712 | The practical question is not,"Can this be done?" |
18712 | The young hear the discussion between the old and the new and ask, is there anything settled, anything worth believing? |
18712 | Then whose shall these things be? |
18712 | To the question, How shall we think of the divine? |
18712 | What are the best lives, the lives that are richest and that have most enriched the world? |

45387 | Now this protestant religion which is alone the hope of the world, what is it? |
45387 | Oh, how long will it take before this black earth of ours shall change its color? |
45387 | We now ask, which is the protestant religion? |
45387 | What are we going to do,--if we associate morality with a being whose character is in dispute? |

14239 | Do they not know that the worthless and abandoned of the female sex dress the most gaily and fashionably? |
14239 | Do they open the ear to the cry of poverty and want? |
14239 | Do you inquire where it can be obtained? |
14239 | Do you shudder at the condition of this wretched youth, whose form yet flits like a shadow through our streets? |

14239 | Would you partake of the immortal fame of a Howard? |

14239 | no;--then what lures thee, fair youth, to depart? |
14239 | or was he writing to strangers? |
14239 | without wind, without tide? |
56721 | What is the implication? 56721 And again, what, scientifically viewed, is our personal relation to that inscrutable power which makes for righteousness? 56721 Are they then to be regarded as purposed actions? 56721 Are we to suppose that the Free Will predicated of man is an universal possession of all? 56721 But after all, if we succeed in establishing purposive actions as incidents in a process of equilibration, what have we gained? 56721 But then the question arises, upon what principle should ethical judgments be formed? 56721 Can purpose by any means be made lineable in such a sequence? 56721 Can there then be purpose without consciousness? 56721 Could such a chemical combination accidentally become conscious, and by a succession of sports organise its consciousness into purpose? 56721 Do the idiot and the maniac possess it, or on the contrary is it possessed unequally by men, and by some not at all? 56721 Do we then accept a spiritual evolution to which the materialistic has been altogether subordinate? 56721 Does this mean a chemical action? 56721 For what is the Ego spoken of, and of what does it consist? 56721 Generally speaking, is it a scientific enquiry for the information of our minds, or is it investigated for the enforcement of ethical injunctions? 56721 Has he the vaunted power of self- rule? 56721 Hence arise the questions, What can be the obligation of a relative morality? 56721 How can we understand Purpose as an equilibration? 56721 How then can we arrive at any ethical rule by the study of Biology? 56721 If, again, it is a practical question as to the power of self- rule, are we to suppose that all men have it in equal degrees? 56721 Is it a natural history of human conduct, more particularly of that part of it called ethical? 56721 Is it an investigation into the natural authority of ethical injunction? 56721 Is it merely a concomitant of the physical line of events? 56721 Is it merely scientific determination of the origin, growth, and variations of ethical opinion? 56721 Is it produced without producing? 56721 Or does it refer to the action of heat and light? 56721 Or, to repeat the old difficulty, is the subjective factor present in the line of causation at all? 56721 The great practical question is this: Has man the power of choice amongst motives? 56721 The question arises, must all purpose be conscious purpose? 56721 The question, thereupon arises, Is the subjective a factor in a process of equilibration, and is righteousness subjective equilibration? 56721 We recognise the gradual development, but where is the deductive connexion? 56721 What has science to say to it? 56721 What need then for sentiency in the subsequent development? 56721 What would be the result if I did this? 56721 Whence then the newregulative system,"the want of which fills Mr. Spencer with alarm? |
56721 | Where is the promised system of corollaries from original factors which shall account for the historical development? |
56721 | Why? |
56721 | [ 13]"What shape, then, must the mutual restraints take when co- operation begins? |
56721 | and can he cultivate it? |
56721 | and-- Is there no absolute morality with its imperatives universal in space and in time? |
56721 | on the other hand, would it not be better to do that? |
13449 | And I suppose you do n''t envy him? |
13449 | And are their reports enthusiastic? |
13449 | And why are you going to Timbuctoo? |
13449 | As questions are being asked, where are you going to? |
13449 | But to be crushed under a cartload of bricks is n''t likely to do one much good, is it? 13449 But why?" |
13449 | Ca n''t I take it up seriously, dad? |
13449 | Ca n''t something be done? |
13449 | Cash in advance? |
13449 | Come to the theatre with us to- night, Omega? |
13449 | Got another engagement? |
13449 | Has anything happened up to now? |
13449 | Has he had it? |
13449 | Have you met anybody who''s been there? |
13449 | I say, mater,he said, over the cheese,"can you lend me fifty dollars?" |
13449 | It is a shame, is n''t it? |
13449 | Never travel in the same train with him? 13449 Not by the people who''ve been there?" |
13449 | Nothing to be done? |
13449 | Suppose you to be dead-- what would happen? 13449 The precaution mania? |
13449 | Then why wo n''t you come? 13449 Titivating herself?" |
13449 | Well, dad, will you buy a picture from me? |
13449 | Well, my pet,said he,"you do n''t reckon you could be a star pianist, do you? |
13449 | What about her? |
13449 | What mania? |
13449 | Why? 13449 And his eyes, challenging hers, seem to say:Can I neglect my business? |
13449 | And just as I was clearing my throat to begin he exclaimed, with a jerk of the elbow and a benevolently satiric smile:"See that girl?" |
13449 | And now he says:"I suppose you mean me to''take up''one of these things?" |
13449 | And now the plain man who is reading this and unwillingly fitting the cap will irately protest:"Do you suppose I have n''t examined my own case? |
13449 | And the plain man demanded of the traveller:"Where are you going to?" |
13449 | And what else does it yield? |
13449 | And what''s the matter with the cove''s second daughter, anyway?" |
13449 | Are their reports enthusiastic?" |
13449 | Are you not content to carry on the ancient tradition? |
13449 | As I say, Timbuctoo''s supposed to be--""Supposed by whom?" |
13449 | But I am glad that you have had five, six, seven, or eight hours of passionate pleasure"? |
13449 | But do you see that boy dallying at the street corner with his mate? |
13449 | But do you see these four creatures with their hands cut off, thrust out into the infested desert? |
13449 | But does the plain man put it? |
13449 | But who brought her up to be an amateur? |
13449 | But who in England or America( or elsewhere) thinks of it in that connection? |
13449 | Can I shirk my responsibilities? |
13449 | Can it not be got by simply sitting down in a chair and yielding to a mood? |

13449 | Do you in your mind''s eye see her cannily choosing beef at the butcher''s, or shining for your pleasure in the drawing- room? |

13449 | I mean-- does he put it seriously and effectively? |
13449 | I really wonder that with fourteen( or a hundred and forty) grown men in your establishment you can not produce an ample and regular income?" |
13449 | Is it his life? |
13449 | Is there any reason in human nature why a complex machine such as a house may be worked with fewer breakdowns than an office or manufactory? |
13449 | Mr. Alpha broke in sharply:"What are you worrying your mother about money for? |
13449 | Peace, ease, relaxation in a home vibrating to the whir of such astounding phenomena? |
13449 | Said Mrs. Omicron suddenly, with an ingratiating accent:"What about that ring that I was to have?" |
13449 | Shall she not cherish this quality, adorn it, intensify it? |
13449 | The plain man, beginning to be annoyed, said:"Have you never asked yourself where you are going to?" |
13449 | The traveller demanded:"Then why are you going there?" |
13449 | There was a silence, which was broken by the traveller, who inquired:"Any interesting places en route?" |
13449 | Was it not he who created the machine? |
13449 | Was it out of kindness that you refused to allow your youngest to acquire the skill to earn her own living? |
13449 | Was it out of kindness that you thwarted her instinct and filled her soul with regret that may be eternal? |
13449 | Well, does he like it? |
13449 | What about old age, sickness, death, quarter- day, rates, taxes, and your new hat? |

13449 | What is a home, Mr. Omicron? |
13449 | What is the use of being happy unless he knows he is happy? |
13449 | What''s he doing with himself? |
13449 | What''s that?" |
13449 | Where would the children be? |
13449 | Where would you be if I shirked them? |
13449 | Who should understand it if I do n''t? |
13449 | Why did you insist on marrying Mrs. Omicron? |
13449 | Why not?" |
13449 | Why should he submit to everlasting boredom for the mere sake of acting like everybody else? |
13449 | You do n''t mean to tell me you''re hard up?" |
13449 | says his wife, meaning,"Ca n''t something be done to ameliorate your hard lot?" |
41901 | But where is our supply coming from? 41901 But why do you dwell on those things that terrify you?" |
41901 | Lying on the prairie grass and lifting my hand toward the sky, I used to say in my inmost spirit,''What is it? 41901 What do you mean by that? |
41901 | What is the use,he says,"of trying to fight against Nature''s laws? |
41901 | Why do you harbor such old age thoughts? 41901 Why should I stamp these new body cells with four score years,"he says,"when not a single one of them may be a quarter of that age?" |
41901 | You say you have tried everything you could think of in managing your employees, but has it ever occurred to you to try Love''s way? |
41901 | Are you carrying a great excess of baggage, clinging to unnecessary things which handicap you? |
41901 | Are you in the habit of losing your temper, of flying into a rage over trifles? |
41901 | Are you not about tired of being defrauded by this thief of the blessings and the good things which the Creator intended we all should have? |
41901 | Are you not tired of having your plans thwarted, your efforts blighted by the traitor, doubt? |
41901 | But what difference does that make?" |

41901 | Did you ever know a person who has a great many"I ca nt''s,"and excuses in his vocabulary to accomplish very much? |
41901 | Did you ever think that every time you say"I ca n''t"you weaken your confidence in yourself and your power to do things? |
41901 | Do you have a horror of possible failure? |
41901 | Do you realize that habit is getting a tremendous grip upon you, and that before you realize it you may be a"perpetual clerk"? |
41901 | Do you shrink from the possible humiliation of losing out in your venture? |
41901 | Does any one question the mighty power of electricity because it can not be seen or heard or smelled? |

41901 | Have_ you_ done the biggest thing you are capable of doing? |
41901 | How are we going to get the necessaries of life? |
41901 | How are we going to pay the rent, the mortgage off the home, the farm? |
41901 | How long have you been just an ordinary employee? |
41901 | How much of a grip has your vision on you? |
41901 | If we wish to have abounding health( and who does not?) |
41901 | Inasmuch as it is so affected, is it not reasonable to assume that the stomach cells are influenced by the thought which you project into them? |
41901 | Is it any wonder that life is a disappointment to them? |
41901 | Is it any wonder that they see only what they look for, get only what they expect? |
41901 | Is it not worth while to get into such relations? |
41901 | Is it the additional responsibility you shrink from, the extra work? |
41901 | Now, if, as we have seen, the subconscious mind can perform real work, real service for us, why should we not use it especially during sleep? |
41901 | Of course we all have ideals of some kind when we are young; but how many of us keep them even till middle age? |
41901 | Some handicap, some invisible thread? |
41901 | What are you afraid of? |

23092 | Are they not unreasonable to complain of envy, after having done everything to provoke it? |

23092 | But the middle classes themselves-- do they consider themselves satisfied? |
23092 | But what generally happens in our day? |
23092 | Can you combat it, suppress it? |
23092 | Can you do it? |
23092 | Did our mothers look for pay in loving us and caring for us? |
23092 | Do not the very sinews of virtue lie in man''s capacity to care for something outside himself? |

23092 | How can we talk of liberty so long as this grave problem of free- will is not solved? |
23092 | How do you think a man can be amused while he has his doubts whether after all life is worth living? |
23092 | How is it that she passes pure and scathless in the midst of these dark enemies, like the prophet of the sacred legend among the roaring beasts? |
23092 | How much of it do they owe to the unselfishness of the simple- hearted? |
23092 | If in the midst of means continually more and more perfected, the workman diminishes in value, of what use are these fine tools at his disposal? |

23092 | Is not this better than to covet what one has not, and to give one''s self up to longings for a poor imitation of others''finery? |
23092 | Is there anything in the world so disgusting as to feel one''s self patronized, made capital of, enrolled in a claque? |
23092 | Is this a proper respect-- this respect which does not extend beyond what touches and belongs to ourselves? |
23092 | Is this true of men? |
23092 | It is better to put the question otherwise, and ask: Is my own religion good, and how may I know it? |
23092 | It is true that he feels impelled to run to the succor of these unfortunates, but at the same time he asks himself,"What is the use?" |
23092 | May we be permitted to record here some observations made from life? |

23092 | Since no one can hold life in check, is it not better to respect it and use it than to go about making other people disgusted with it? |
23092 | The papers say enough of those who break windows; but why do they make no mention of those who spend their nights toiling over problems? |

10274 | Doth not,saith this kind of slanderer,"his temper incline him to do thus? |
10274 | I pray thee;what language could be more courteous and gentle? |
10274 | My son;what compellation could be more benign and kind? |
10274 | Swords,saith the psalmist of such persons,"are in their lips: Who( say they) doth hear?" |
10274 | Tell me,saith he,"what difficulty, what sweat, what art, what hazard, what more doth it require beside a little care"to abstain wholly from it? |
10274 | give glory to God, and make confession;what words could be more inoffensively pertinent? |
10274 | Again:"He doeth well,"saith the sycophant,"it is true; but why, and to what end? |
10274 | And is not the same, is not much greater care to be used in regard to the incomparably great and glorious Majesty of Heaven? |
10274 | And what reasonable man will do that which is disgustful to the wise and good, is grateful only to the foolish and baser sort of men? |
10274 | And when he sentenced that great malefactor, the cause of so much mischief, this was all he said,"Why hast thou troubled us? |
10274 | Are not some persons always, and all persons sometimes, incapable otherwise to divert themselves, than by such discourse? |
10274 | But first it may be demanded what the thing we speak of is, or what this facetiousness doth import? |
10274 | Could he have said more? |
10274 | Do pretty conceits or humorous talk carry on any business, or perform any work? |
10274 | For he that dareth thus to injure his neighbour, who can trust him in anything he speaks? |
10274 | For in ordinary conversation what needful or reasonable occasion can intervene of violating this command? |
10274 | For what can be more unsuitable and unpromising, than to seem serious with those who are not so themselves, or demure with the scornful? |
10274 | He that is so loose in so clear and so considerable a point of obedience to God, how can he be supposed staunch in regard to any other? |
10274 | If he goeth to clear himself from the matter of such aspersions:"What need,"saith this insidious speaker,"of that? |
10274 | If oaths generally become cheap and vile, what will that of allegiance signify? |
10274 | If we do mark what is done in many( might I not say, in most?) |
10274 | If we look upon such language in its own nature, what is it but a symptom of a foul, a weak, a disordered and a distempered mind? |
10274 | Is it not grown so common a thing to asperse causelessly that no man wonders at it, that few dislike, that scarce any detest it? |
10274 | Is it not more advisable to suppress our passion, or to let it evaporate otherwise, than to discharge it in so foul a way? |
10274 | Is it not the sport and divertisement of many, to cast dirt in the faces of all they meet with; to bespatter any man with foul imputations? |
10274 | Is it not wisdom rather to smother or curb our humour, than by satisfying it thus to forfeit our innocence? |
10274 | Is it not, as most men do, out of ill design? |
10274 | Is not always the straight way more short than the oblique and crooked? |
10274 | Is not this plainly the life of a child that is ever busy, yet never hath anything to do? |
10274 | Shall we, I say, have no recreation? |
10274 | Since he rejecteth the grounds of reasoning,''tis vain to be in earnest; what then remains but to jest with him? |
10274 | Surely to this case we may accommodate that of a truly great wit, King Solomon:"I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it?" |
10274 | To what purpose, I pray, is God''s name hooked and haled into our idle talk? |
10274 | What can be more absurd than to make business of play, to be studious and laborious in toys, to make a profession or drive a trade of impertinency? |
10274 | What do men commonly please themselves in so much, as in carping and harshly censuring, in defaming and abusing their neighbours? |
10274 | What is a little truth, what is any man''s reputation in comparison to the carrying on such brave designs? |
10274 | What more than this can he say for himself? |
10274 | What satisfaction will any man have from it? |
10274 | What therefore, beside monstrous vanity and unaccountable perverseness, should hold men so devoted thereto? |
10274 | What were more ridiculous than to swear the truth of a demonstrable theorem? |
10274 | Who then will be the more trusted for swearing? |
10274 | Who will regard his fame, who will be concerned to excuse his faults, who so outrageously abuseth the reputation of others? |
10274 | Why should those games which excite our wits and fancies be less reasonable than those whereby our grosser parts and faculties are exercised? |
10274 | an assembly of treacherous men, and they bend their tongues like their bow for lies"? |
10274 | are the treasures and joys of paradise, or the damages and torments in hell, more jesting matters? |
10274 | can there be any valuable exchange for our honesty? |
10274 | companies, what is it but one telling malicious stories of, or fastening odious characters upon another? |
10274 | did I name you? |
10274 | do you not prejudge yourself guilty? |
10274 | had he not fair opportunity and strong temptation to it? |
10274 | hath he not acted so in like cases? |
10274 | have not others made as fair a show? |
10274 | is not the fair way more pleasant and passable than the foul? |
10274 | is not the plain way more easy than the rough and cragged? |
10274 | may he not dissemble now? |
10274 | may he not recoil hereafter? |
10274 | may not his interest have swayed him thereto? |
10274 | must I needs mean you? |
10274 | or must our recreations be ever clownish, or childish, consisting merely in rustical efforts, or in petty sleights of bodily strength and activity? |
10274 | what will not he say to please his vile humour, or further his base interest? |
10274 | what, thinks any man, will he scruple or boggle at, who hath the heart in thus doing wrong and mischief to imitate the devil? |
10274 | why do you then assume it to yourself? |
10274 | why should we so often mention Him, when we do not mean anything about Him? |
10274 | why, if he deemeth his own honesty to bear proof, doth he cite Heaven to warrant it? |
10274 | would he have said so much, if he had not conceived the matter to be of exceeding weight and consequence? |
10274 | would it not, into every sentence to foist a dog or a horse, to intrude Turkish, or any barbarous gibberish, be altogether as proper and pertinent? |
18533 | Are you willing to die? |
18533 | How can I do any good? |
18533 | My good woman,said the judge,"what is it that your daughter does which renders it so uncomfortable to live with her?" |
18533 | What makes you think,I asked,"that you are prepared to die?" |
18533 | After conversing with him a little while, I said,"Do you think you shall ever get well again?" |
18533 | And after they have done all this, is it a small sin for you to disobey them and make them unhappy? |
18533 | And can a child be so hard- hearted as not to love a mother? |
18533 | And can a child, who is neither beloved nor respected, be happy? |
18533 | And can any one love or esteem a child who has become so degraded? |
18533 | And can you ever bear the thought of causing grief to her whose love is so strong; whose kindness is so great? |
18533 | And do you not think that the boy has already suffered for it? |
18533 | And do you think that child was not happy, as, in the silence of his chamber, he surrendered himself to God? |
18533 | And do you think they will wish to have a liar enter heaven, to be associated with them? |
18533 | And does it not seem very ungrateful that you should resist all this kindness and care, and continue to refuse to submit yourself to him? |
18533 | And how can he help liking you for it? |
18533 | And how do you suppose that boy felt? |
18533 | And how do you suppose the liar must feel when he comes to die? |
18533 | And is it not kind in our heavenly Father to resolve that those who will not obey his laws shall be for ever excluded from heaven? |
18533 | And is it pleasant to have the reputation of a liar? |
18533 | And is there a child who reads this book, who would be willing to be the cause of sorrow to his father and his mother? |
18533 | And is there not something noble in being able to be always calm and pleasant? |
18533 | And ought we not to love so kind a Savior? |
18533 | And shall we not be grateful? |
18533 | And think you God will hold any child guiltless, who shall, by his misconduct, make his parents unhappy? |
18533 | And what can be more humiliating and degrading than to have the name of a liar? |
18533 | And what did that viper do? |
18533 | And what do you think he says of it now? |
18533 | And what should you think of yourself, if you could go to their parlor, and receive their bounty, and yet be ungrateful and disobedient? |
18533 | And when he, while enduring the agony of the cross, cried out,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
18533 | And when your mother dies, do you not think that you will feel remorse for every unkind word you have uttered, and for every act of ingratitude? |
18533 | And where is the child who does not wish to have this Savior for his friend, and to have a home in heaven? |
18533 | And who does not see the absurdity of the excuses which the guilty man offered? |
18533 | Are you under no obligation to us for all this trouble and expense?" |
18533 | As you slip one side to allow him to take your place at the fire, will he not feel that you are kind? |
18533 | At last, however, he summoned courage, and called out to Henry upon the play- ground--"Henry, will you lend me your rod to go a fishing?" |
18533 | But George would have replied,"Do you think that I care for your laughing? |
18533 | But do you think that Casabianca was a coward? |
18533 | But if you yield to the temptation, how can you help despising yourself? |
18533 | But perhaps some child who reads this, asks,"Does God notice little children in school?" |
18533 | But perhaps you ask, What positive harm does it do? |
18533 | But what could she do? |
18533 | But what did he care? |
18533 | But what of that? |
18533 | But which is the most easy to be borne, the ridicule of the wicked, or a condemning conscience, and the displeasure of God? |
18533 | Can any child read this narrative without trembling at the thought of disobedience, even in the most trifling affair? |
18533 | Can any child refuse to love this Savior? |
18533 | Can you be willing so to live? |
18533 | Can you imagine how the boy felt? |
18533 | Do you ask, Why does God consider the ingratitude of children as a sin of peculiar aggravation? |
18533 | Do you suppose that God would let him in? |
18533 | Do you suppose that a person can be a Christian, and yet be neglecting time, and living in idleness? |
18533 | Do you think that child can be a Christian, who will, by ingratitude, make his parents unhappy? |
18533 | He has presented himself at the door of your heart, and can you refuse him admission? |
18533 | Henry.--Do you think George is a coward? |
18533 | Henry.--Why, George, are you turning coward? |
18533 | How could they summon resolution to resist so much entreaty? |
18533 | How did his mother know that he was telling the truth? |
18533 | If she have faults, can you not bear with them, when she has so long borne with you? |
18533 | Is it not, then, folly to delay preparation for death? |
18533 | Is it not, then, the height of folly to indulge in vanity? |
18533 | Is not such a boy more noble than one who will disobey his parents merely that he may have a little play, or that he may avoid some unpleasant duty? |
18533 | Is there a child who reads this book, who has not at times felt the importance of loving the Savior? |
18533 | Is there any thing which can be more ungrateful than to grieve one who loves you so ardently, and who has done so much for you? |
18533 | Is there not an account to be settled before you leave? |
18533 | Is there not something noble in having such a character as this? |
18533 | It makes your parents unhappy; and is there no harm in that? |
18533 | It teaches your parents that their child is unwilling to obey them; and is there no harm in that? |
18533 | It tempts you to disobey in other things; and is there no harm in that? |
18533 | Must he not feel mean and contemptible whenever he thinks that, merely to get a little bit of cake, he would deceive his kind mother? |
18533 | Must not that little girl have felt happy in the consciousness of thus possessing her mother''s entire confidence? |
18533 | Now can you think that your father or mother are unkind, because they are unwilling to have you placed in such a situation? |
18533 | Now is it not really magnanimous to have such a spirit? |
18533 | Now, are not these reasons sufficient to induce your parents to guard you against such temptations? |
18533 | Now, can you conceive a more ungrateful wretch, than that boy would be, if he should grow up, not to love or obey his mother? |
18533 | Now, is it obedience, when your kind mother is doing all in her power to make you happy, for you to look sullen and morose? |
18533 | Now, was not this gentleman kind thus to protect these children? |
18533 | Now, was this father cruel, in thus endeavoring to promote the peace and the happiness of his family? |
18533 | Now, what, could these poor boys do? |
18533 | Now, who does not admire the conduct of Henry in this affair? |
18533 | Now, who would not declare that this sentence is just? |
18533 | Oh, was there ever proof of greater love? |
18533 | The gentleman, after conversing a few moments with his father, turned to the little boy, and said,"Well, how did you get home the other day? |
18533 | The sailors began to desert the burning and sinking ship, and the boy cried out"Father, may I go?" |
18533 | There was but one thought there-- What has become of the lost child? |
18533 | Think you God can look upon the disobedience of a child as a trifling sin? |
18533 | Think you that God will hold this child guiltless for all the sorrow he caused his father and his mother? |
18533 | Was it found a mangled corpse, or was it alive and well? |
18533 | Was it not kind in God to give his Son to suffer, that we might be saved from punishment? |
18533 | Was it not kind in them? |
18533 | Was it not kind? |
18533 | Was it unkind in him to resolve to make his virtuous children happy, by excluding the vicious and the degraded? |
18533 | Was there ever such love as this? |
18533 | What can be more disgusting than the ridiculous airs of a vain child? |
18533 | What can you say? |
18533 | What could the unhappy and guilty girl say? |
18533 | What heart is not indignant at such treatment? |
18533 | What should you think of such kindness? |
18533 | Where do you wish to have your home? |
18533 | Where is there any earthly joy to which she can look? |
18533 | Who can comfort such a mother? |
18533 | Who does not abhor the conduct of these unnatural children? |
18533 | Who does not wish to go to heaven? |
18533 | Who would not despise so ungrateful a boy? |
18533 | Why do these men do so? |
18533 | Why do you call them yours?" |
18533 | Will not the child who reads this account take warning from it? |
18533 | Would any person have regarded that as an extenuation of his sin? |
18533 | Would any person, of real magnanimity, disregard a friend who had done so much as the Savior has done for us? |
18533 | Would not God be as kind to the angels as an earthly father to his earthly children? |
18533 | Would not God be very unkind to allow the wicked and impenitent to enter in and mar their joys? |
18533 | Would not a child who could thus requite such love, be deserving of universal detestation? |
18533 | do you say? |
18533 | where was he? |
18533 | with the virtuous and happy in heaven, or with the vicious and miserable in the world of wo? |
37998 | A disrespectful Irish member of Parliament, urged by perverse curiosity, asked the Speaker one day:"What would happen if you called me by my name?" |
37998 | Above all, is it beneficial? |
37998 | And these men are to be liberated from the discipline of the moral law? |
37998 | And, above all, ought not Descartes to have given us an explanation of what thought and consciousness are? |
37998 | Are not many beasts physically stronger, more nimble and agile than man? |
37998 | Are the two really different? |
37998 | Brandy undoubtedly produces a sensation of pleasure in the drinker; is brandy, then, good in a moral sense? |
37998 | But at a certain stage of evolution-- how? |
37998 | But by means of what psychic mechanism does this law enforce obedience in the consciousness of man? |
37998 | But can the progress, which can not reasonably be denied in civilization, also be traced in Morality? |
37998 | But how do we come by this law? |
37998 | But what about the effect of the doctrines which they advocated gently or passionately, adducing proofs or uttering threats? |
37998 | But what is conscience found to be if we penetrate the fog of mystic words with which it has come to be surrounded? |
37998 | But what is the good of this self- satisfaction? |

37998 | But whence does Reason obtain the standard it applies to the actions of men and their results? |
37998 | But who is the state? |
37998 | But why cudgel one''s brains? |
37998 | But why does He allow it? |
37998 | Does he decide for the good, because after due investigation and consideration he recognized it as preferable, though he might have rejected it? |
37998 | Does he do evil because he willed to do so and not otherwise, although it was in his power to avoid it? |
37998 | Does he only try him in order mercifully to rescue him at the moment when he is about to succumb? |
37998 | Does it stop at that or will it continue? |
37998 | Does the divinity allow man to fall a victim to evil without turning it aside from him? |
37998 | Does this prove the freedom, the absolute independence of these occurrences? |
37998 | Further: must we in the consciousness distinguish between the frame and its contents, the conceptual mechanism and the concept? |
37998 | Has it an aim, and, if so, what? |
37998 | Has it the right to deny life to an entity that does not conceive itself? |
37998 | Has not the carrier pigeon an infinitely better sense of locality than we have? |
37998 | Have we the right to set up a scale of values and place the complicated above the simple? |
37998 | He does not condescend to ask,''What will the world say to this?'' |
37998 | He thereby relinquishes the power to ask any further question except:"Did he act in accordance with his own conscience? |

37998 | How did the world come into existence? |
37998 | How does Nature work? |
37998 | How does it acquire the fundamental concepts Good and Bad, and what is their significance? |
37998 | How is such an endeavour possible for a man who does not believe in God and for whom consequently no divine Will exists? |
37998 | How, of what material, and why do we fashion this standard? |
37998 | If he obeys, all is well; but if he takes no notice of it, pays no heed to it, the question arises:"What now? |
37998 | Is he fettered by the chain of causes which have existed eternally and continue to act immutably to all eternity? |
37998 | Is it to be the masses? |
37998 | Is man who perceives, judges, has volition and acts, a free being inwardly? |
37998 | Is not all our knowledge of the world, is not our whole view of Nature an illusion? |
37998 | Is not the mouse''s hearing sharper than ours? |
37998 | Is the consciousness of the man standing upon the highest plane of intellectuality the greatest consciousness possible? |
37998 | Is the decision as to what is right and what is wrong to be left to the subjective judgment of the individual? |
37998 | Is the matter which is absorbed as nourishment ultimately anything different? |
37998 | Is the sheep who trots bleating along with the herd to be taken as the type of a moral being? |
37998 | Is the state bound by a treaty? |
37998 | Is there no consciousness without a conceptual content? |
37998 | It has the power right enough; police, judge, prison and gallows bear witness to that; but has it the right? |
37998 | It is a comedy played to win applause and a call before the curtain? |
37998 | It is supposed to be nothing more than a sort of obsequiousness towards the multitude? |

37998 | Must it honour its signature? |
37998 | Must it perform what it has undertaken to do? |
37998 | Or do the two coincide? |
37998 | Or is man always subject to coercion from which at no time and no place he can escape? |
37998 | Or shall all mankind, or at least the majority, and not the individual, decide what is right? |

37998 | Was that because the heavenly bodies act freely and are eclipsed only at their own spontaneous desire, when and how they please? |
37998 | We come to the question, What is Good, what is Bad? |
37998 | What are the distinguishing marks of Right? |

12913 | A criminal would claim to be punished, if he could comprehend the absolute necessity of expiation; and are there not real cases of such criminals? |
12913 | Again: supposing these Instincts to exist, what is their authority or power to punish? |
12913 | Another question raised for discussion is--''Ought a man to love himself most, or another?'' |
12913 | Are we then to say, with Solon, that no one can be called happy so long as he lives? |
12913 | Bat how are such capacities to be acquired? |
12913 | But amusements are also sought for their own sake; Are these also to be called happiness? |
12913 | But an objector may ask-- Of what use are Philosophy and Prudence? |
12913 | But granting that people desire happiness as_ one_ of their ends of conduct, do they never desire anything else? |
12913 | But how are we to interpret this Light of Nature? |
12913 | But how; it may be asked, does this belief impose an obligation? |
12913 | But is it not possible to commit injustice with safety? |
12913 | But is there no genuine self- denial? |
12913 | But now the question can no longer be put off: Is Morality, of which this is the only conception, a reality or a phantom? |
12913 | But what actions are conformable to reason? |
12913 | But what is social? |
12913 | But, he asks, is there not also a_ calm determination_ towards the good of others, without reference to private interest of any kind? |
12913 | By Fortune? |
12913 | By divine grace? |
12913 | By habitual exercise? |
12913 | By teaching? |
12913 | By way of bringing out the advantages of friendship, it is next asked, Does the happy man need friends? |
12913 | By what obligations can he be bound to_ probity_ and_ beneficence_? |
12913 | Can bad men be friends? |
12913 | Cases may arise of conflicting obligation; as, shall we prefer a friend to a deserving man? |
12913 | Deliberation and Purpose respect means; our Wish respects the End-- but what is the End that we wish? |
12913 | Does it fall under the Will or under the Intelligence? |
12913 | Does the happy man need friends? |
12913 | Does the mother, in watching her sick infant, think of the good of mankind at that moment? |
12913 | For example, there are two sides to the question, Is dissent morally wrong? |
12913 | Have we any difficulty to comprehend the force of humanity or benevolence? |
12913 | Have we original ideas of prà ¦ tors, and chancellors, and juries? |
12913 | He considers that the Sophists first distinctly broached the question-- What is man by nature, and what is he by convention or fashion? |
12913 | He then discusses the question,( on which he had charged Hume with mistake),''Why is approbation confined to voluntary acts?'' |
12913 | He then goes on to ask whether men, in approving these exceptions to morality, approve them because they are immoral? |
12913 | He then replies specifically to the question,''Why is utility not to be the sole end present to the mind of the virtuous agent?'' |
12913 | He then replies to the question,''Why should we be concerned about anything out of or beyond ourselves?'' |
12913 | He then resumes the general question, under a concrete case,''Why am I obliged to keep my word?'' |
12913 | Here a question arises, Can one be injured voluntarily? |
12913 | His discussion takes the form of an enquiry into the Faculty:--''What is the power within us that perceives the distinctions of Right and Wrong?'' |
12913 | How are we to know what the practice should be? |
12913 | How can we know fully and correctly all the consequences of actions? |
12913 | How could men with serenity and confidence transgress rules stamped upon their inmost soul? |
12913 | How could society subsist under such disorders? |
12913 | How do the ideas of acts, having the good of our fellows for their end, become Affections and Motives? |
12913 | How little is requisite to supply the_ necessities_ of nature? |
12913 | How then are we to arrive at this rule? |
12913 | If it be now asked, what and where is Justice? |
12913 | In LACHES, the question''what is Virtue?'' |
12913 | In answer then to the question as thus simplified,''What is the ground of moral approbation and disapprobation?'' |
12913 | In his love of subtle distinctions, he asks, Is happiness a thing admirable in itself, or a thing praiseworthy? |
12913 | In the concrete language of Paley,"Why am I obliged to keep my word? |
12913 | Is his admiration of a steam- engine, and of an heroic human action, the same sentiment? |
12913 | Is it the infliction of remorse? |
12913 | Is the pity called forth by misery a sentiment of the general good? |
12913 | Is there but one species of Friendship, or more than one? |
12913 | Is there, and how is there, such a possible synthetic use? |
12913 | Is there, he asks, any evidence of our being gifted with such feelings? |
12913 | It is a proper question with regard to a supposed moral standard,--What is its sanction? |
12913 | It is a question of moral reasoning, Ought a man to have only one wife? |
12913 | It is among our voluntary proceedings, and includes intelligence; but is it identical with predeliberated action and its results? |
12913 | It is expressly devoted to the question-- Is Virtue_ teachable_? |
12913 | It is no real question to ask-- Do we choose life for the sake of pleasure, or pleasure for the sake of life? |
12913 | May not our faculties be mistaken, or be so constituted as to deceive us? |
12913 | Next, happiness does not consist in the exemption from pain(? |
12913 | Now, although a man may know little of himself, is it certain the legislator knows more? |
12913 | Now, what would be the natural consequence of such a system, under the known laws of feeling, will, and intellect? |
12913 | On the question-- Is Benevolence a virtuous motive? |
12913 | Or is it no determination of the judgment at all, but a species of mental taste[ as Shaftesbury and Hutcheson supposed]? |
12913 | Or to conceive that the very aspect of happiness, joy, prosperity, gives pleasure; while pain, suffering, sorrow, communicate uneasiness? |
12913 | Secondly, What is the power or faculty of the mind that discovers and enforces it? |
12913 | Seneca urges kindness to slaves, for''are they not men like ourselves, breathing the same air, living and dying like ourselves?'' |
12913 | Several questions have been debated concerning Friendship,--Is it based on likeness or unlikeness? |
12913 | Smith, Stewart, and Mackintosh agree in laying down as the points in dispute these two:--First, What does virtue consist in? |
12913 | Still, we have often to recur to the final end, and to ask, What must become of the world if such practices prevail? |
12913 | The Animals are susceptible of kindness; shall we then attribute to them, too, a refinement of self- interest? |
12913 | The Divine Laws; how are we to know the Divine Will? |
12913 | The REPUBLIC starts with the question-- what is JUSTICE? |
12913 | The most palpable defect in Butler''s scheme, is that it affords no answer to the question,''What is the distinguishing quality of right actions?'' |
12913 | The question is raised, which is most voluntary, Cowardice or Intemperance? |
12913 | The question is, what is its place and origin in the mind? |
12913 | The question then arises,"what sort of act?" |
12913 | The question then is-- what is the just and the unjust in action? |
12913 | The question, as conceived by him, is,''What is the power within us that perceives the distinctions of Right and Wrong?'' |
12913 | The real point is, what is meant by_ having knowledge_? |
12913 | The real question is this: Is it a necessary law that all rational beings should act on maxims that they can wish, to become universal laws? |
12913 | The same objection would apply to the use of the word Standard; so that the only form of the first question of Ethics would be, What_ is_ morality? |
12913 | To which of the three does virtue or excellence belong? |
12913 | What does it consist in? |
12913 | What is the proof of this doctrine? |
12913 | What need is there to display the praises of INDUSTRY, or of FRUGALITY, virtues useful to the possessor in the first instance? |
12913 | What then is the source of the motives towards Beneficence? |
12913 | What, in the last resort, is the test, criterion, umpire, appeal, or Standard, in determining Right and Wrong? |
12913 | What, then, is the criterion that distinguishes moral from other truths? |
12913 | Where are the innate principles of Justice, Piety, Gratitude, Equity, Chastity? |
12913 | Whether it be an instinct or a habit(? |
12913 | Why do we not worship the earth, the source of all our utilities? |
12913 | With the gods there can be no scope for active social virtues; for in what way can they be just, courageous, or temperate? |
12913 | Would he not think this right; and would it not be right? |
12913 | Would it be possible to extirpate drunkenness or fornication by legal punishment? |
12913 | Would not an action that always brings down punishment be associated with the pain and the dread of punishment? |
12913 | _ Menon_ enquires, Is virtue_ teachable?_ and iterates the science of good and evil. |
12913 | and on what is Society founded, existing as it does everywhere, and making man to be what he is? |
12913 | in other words, Ought all opinions to be tolerated? |
12913 | in other words, What is the Standard? |
12913 | or how shall we discover what conduct is acceptable to the Deity? |
12913 | or that the same man may often pass backwards and forwards from happiness to misery? |
12913 | shall a person robbed reciprocate to robbers? |
12913 | to enquire, What Utilitarianism is? |
12913 | what is the source of its obligation? |
12913 | wherein lies its binding force? |
14312 | ***** Is it the ambition of your life to_ accumulate great wealth_, and thus to acquire a great name, and along with it happiness and satisfaction? |
14312 | ***** Is it your ambition to become a_ fashionable society woman_, this and nothing more, intent only upon your own pleasure and satisfaction? |
14312 | And have the wonderful possibilities of what may be termed an inner or soul development ever come strongly to your notice? |
14312 | And then I ask, Why is this? |
14312 | And thus we have what? |
14312 | And what again determines the inner life of each? |
14312 | And what do we mean by this? |
14312 | And what does this mean? |
14312 | And what, let us ask, is a servant? |
14312 | And why should we have any fear whatever,--fear even for the nation, as is many times expressed? |
14312 | And why should we not speak to and kindly greet an animal as we pass it, as instinctively as we do a human fellow- being? |
14312 | And why should we not to- day have the powers of the foremost in the days of old? |
14312 | And, again, who was Christ? |
14312 | And, much more, do you think there is any comparison whatever between the real pleasure and happiness and satisfaction in the lives of the two? |
14312 | Are we not satisfied with the effects, the results? |
14312 | Are you a minister? |
14312 | Are you a writer? |
14312 | Are you an orator? |
14312 | Are you in the walks of private life? |
14312 | Are you interested, my dear reader, in the answer? |
14312 | Are you seeking, then, to make for yourself a name? |
14312 | But should they on this account be despised? |
14312 | But what, what is dominion overall the world, with heaven left out? |
14312 | But who, let it be asked, constituted me a judge of my fellow- man? |
14312 | Can any law be more clearly enunciated, can anything be more definite and more absolute than this? |
14312 | Do I not recognize the fact that the moment I judge my fellow- man, by that very act I judge myself? |
14312 | Do we at times fail in obtaining the results we desire? |
14312 | For what, let us ask, is a Christian,--the real, not merely in name? |
14312 | For what, let us ask, is a miracle? |
14312 | Has not one been on account of a belief in a future life for man, but not for the animal? |
14312 | Have we it within our power to determine at all times what types of habits shall take form in our lives? |
14312 | Have you sorrows or trials that seem very heavy to bear? |
14312 | Have you this greatest thing? |
14312 | Heredity and its attendant circumstances and influences? |
14312 | Hollow the life? |
14312 | How attain to its realization? |
14312 | How call it into a dominating activity? |
14312 | How can I attain to a true and lasting greatness? |
14312 | How can I know the true secret of power? |
14312 | How can I make life yield its fullest and best? |
14312 | How, then, does it manifest itself? |
14312 | I have heard it asked, If one has n''t it to any marked degree naturally, what is to be done? |
14312 | If, then, life be thus founded, can there possibly be any greater incentive to that self- development that brings one up to his highest possibilities? |
14312 | In kindliness, in helpfulness, in service, to those around you? |
14312 | In other words, is habit- forming, character- building, a matter of mere chance, or have we it within our own control? |
14312 | In the very remote history of the race there was one who, violating a great law, having wronged a brother, asked,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
14312 | Is it low, devoid of beauty? |
14312 | Is it your ambition to become a great_ writer?_ Very good. |
14312 | Is it your ambition to become great in any particular field, to attain to fame and honor, and thereby to happiness and contentment? |
14312 | Is it your ambition, for example, to become a great_ orator_, to move great masses of men, to receive their praise, their plaudits? |
14312 | Is it your desire then, to be numbered among his followers, to bear that blessed name, the name"Christian"? |
14312 | Is not Christianity, you ask, greater or more important? |
14312 | Is the life high, beautiful? |
14312 | Is there any comparison between the appellation"Lady Bountiful"and"a proud, selfish, pleasure- seeking woman"? |
14312 | It costs the giver comparatively nothing; but who can tell the priceless value to him who receives it? |
14312 | It is but another way of asking that great question that has come through all the ages-- What is the_ summum bonum_ in life? |
14312 | Know ye not that the kingdom of heaven is within you? |
14312 | Know ye not that the kingdom of heaven is within you?" |
14312 | May not this power, then, be used for base as well as for good purposes, for selfish as well as for unselfish ends? |
14312 | Nay, on the other hand, should this not be the greatest reason why we should all the more zealously care for, protect, and kindly treat them? |
14312 | No wonder the cry has gone out again and again from many a human soul, Is life worth the living? |
14312 | Now, do you wonder at his power, his inspiration, his abundance of all things? |
14312 | Or when saw we_ thee_ sick, or in prison, and came unto_ thee_? |
14312 | Our aim at the outset, you will remember, was to find answer to the question-- How can I make life yield its fullest and best? |
14312 | Shall we notice another concrete case? |
14312 | Shall we now give attention to some two or three concrete cases? |
14312 | Should this, however, be a reason why they should be neglected and cruelly treated? |
14312 | THE APPLICATION Are you seeking for greatness, O brother of mine, As the full, fleeting seasons and years glide away? |
14312 | THE PRINCIPLE Would you find that wonderful life supernal, That life so abounding, so rich, and so free? |
14312 | The Master, after all have gone, turns to the woman, his sister, and kindly and gently says,"And where are thine accusers? |
14312 | The question is not, What are the conditions in our lives? |
14312 | The question naturally arising at the outset is, Who, what is God? |
14312 | Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we_ thee_ an hungered, and fed_ thee_? |
14312 | Thoughts upon self? |
14312 | To himself? |
14312 | To others? |
14312 | True it is, then, not, What are the conditions in one''s life? |
14312 | Upon others? |
14312 | What do they say? |
14312 | What do they think? |
14312 | What then must man be, if that which tells us is true? |
14312 | What then, again let us ask, is love to God? |
14312 | What would people, what would my friends, think and say? |
14312 | What, however, can be expected of them when we take the attitude we at present hold toward them? |
14312 | What, shall we ask, is the place, what the value, of prayer? |
14312 | When saw we_ thee_ a stranger, and took_ thee_ in? |
14312 | Where in all the world''s history is to be found a more beautiful or valuable incident than this? |
14312 | Where is the man''s safety in the light of what we have been considering? |
14312 | Who can estimate the influence of a life such as this? |
14312 | Why is this? |
14312 | Would you have them go with greater power, and thus be more effective? |
14312 | Would you have them more effective, each one filled with a living power? |
14312 | Would you write more? |
14312 | but, How do we meet the conditions that we find there? |
14312 | but, How does he meet the conditions that he finds there? |
14312 | doth no man condemn thee?" |
14312 | how can I attain to true greatness? |
14312 | how can I know the true secret of power? |
14312 | or naked, and clothed_ thee_? |
14312 | or still more, may it not be the means of lessening another''s sense of self- dependence, and thus may it not at times do more harm than good? |
14312 | or thirsty, and gave_ thee_ drink? |
14312 | who can tell where it may end? |
9402 | Ah, how does thee do? |
9402 | And does the Bible teach you to flatter people with your tongue, while you are laughing at them in your sleeves? |
9402 | And if your little baby dies, Mrs. Graffam,said Eddy,"he will be a flower in God''s garden; wo n''t he, Mary?" |
9402 | And pray, how is your dear little babe, sir? |
9402 | And who is to be the judge of our thoughts,asked Fanny,"whether they be right or wrong?" |
9402 | Are any more of my friends here? |
9402 | Are you? |
9402 | But how can I have you go away alone to read your Bible, and think sadly of-- being so weak? |
9402 | Can it be,thought the fallen man,"that I am still_ Mr._, or are they mocking me?" |
9402 | Can thee respect a drunkard, Emma? |
9402 | Emma,said he,"what would thee do for Peter and his family? |
9402 | Has thee been long out of health? |
9402 | How do you do, Willie? |
9402 | How is your babe this morning? |
9402 | How she could be extremely glad to see people who, she said, were''bores, and not to be endured?'' |
9402 | How would charity act toward a person whose manners are extremely rude? |
9402 | I guess so,was the reply;"but----""But what, Willie?" |
9402 | I know it,replied Emma;"but need he be lost, sir? |
9402 | Is it very heavy? |
9402 | O,thought Emma, as she looked after him,"is there none to help? |
9402 | Of what are you thinking, Dora? |
9402 | Perhaps not,was the reply;"I suppose your profits are enough to hire it done; but here is a shawl,--what is the price of it?" |
9402 | Shall we call at''Appledale?'' |
9402 | Thee looks delicate,said the old man;"what shall I give thee to eat, Emma?" |
9402 | Thee looks tired, Sarah; where are the girls? |
9402 | Thee means Peter, who lives upon the plains? |
9402 | Was it? |
9402 | We shall, Eddy, if we are like----"Like Jesus? |
9402 | What can she think? |
9402 | What do you suppose,continued Emma,"is meant by the sincere milk of the word?" |
9402 | What does thee think of that child, Sarah? |
9402 | What else have you? |
9402 | What is the use of this dreadful struggle? |
9402 | What shall I call thy name? |
9402 | When did she die? |
9402 | Where are you going, Mary Palmer? |
9402 | Why it was more impolite to tell people what was foolish in their appearance, than to laugh about this appearance in their absence? |
9402 | Why, who is Emma flying to see? |
9402 | You know Mr. Graffam, sir? |
9402 | You will come and see me again, wo n''t you? |
9402 | And why so sad? |
9402 | But now, whence came the wonderful beauty of the widespread landscape? |
9402 | Can I aid thee in any way?" |
9402 | Come, Susan, thee ought to be helping thy mother these hot days; but who is this friend?" |
9402 | Do you hear the drum?" |
9402 | Dora felt, as many under similar circumstances have felt, the earnest question pressing upon her heart:"Who is sufficient for these things?" |
9402 | Feel sober after your last night''s high, eh?" |
9402 | Friend Sliver laid down his hoe, and coming up to the wall, asked,"What is it, child?" |
9402 | Graffam?" |
9402 | Graffam?" |
9402 | Graffam?" |
9402 | He has a wife and four pretty children; ca n''t he be saved?" |
9402 | Is it not so?" |
9402 | O, would n''t it be delightful?" |
9402 | Was it just to be polite?" |
9402 | What have they been doing for her? |
9402 | What say you, Fanny Brighton?" |
9402 | What spirit possesses the human heart, when it shows a disposition to make others uncomfortable? |
9402 | Who has not entertained this uninvited guest? |
9402 | Why does he want to hurt folks''feelings? |
9402 | You read the Bible, Ma--,--I mean Miss Palmer?" |
9402 | You will not have me deceived, mamma?" |
9402 | You would not have had me say so; but these were my feelings; so what am I to do?" |
9402 | and yet what is gained? |
9402 | are they not, Mary Palmer?" |
18438 | WHAT is a miser? |
18438 | What hast thou, that thou hast not received? |
18438 | A miracle may save him, but nothing short of a miracle can do it, and who has a right to expect it? |
18438 | After all where would the merit be in the service of God, if there were no difficulty? |
18438 | And are there no sins of gluttony besides these? |
18438 | And how can I tell where one act ends and the other begins?" |
18438 | And how can he be taught, if he does not lay aside occupations that are incompatible with the acquisition of intellectual truths? |
18438 | And if she errs here, what assurance is there that she does not err there? |
18438 | And if we know nothing about it, how can we do either? |
18438 | And then what becomes of honesty, and the right of property? |
18438 | And what about the contract according to the terms of which you are to give your services and to receive in return a stipulated amount? |
18438 | And what makes it rash? |
18438 | And what security can anyone have against the private judgment of his neighbor? |
18438 | And whence comes the knowledge of such sufficiency or insufficiency of motive? |
18438 | And whether they believe it or not, will they, on your authority, have sufficient reason for giving credence to your words? |
18438 | And who are the persons thus guilty of a manifold guilt? |
18438 | And who is there that really thinks he is not worth more than he gets? |
18438 | And why is this? |
18438 | And why? |
18438 | Are Papists the only ones to add to the holy writings, or to go counter to them? |
18438 | Are there any motives capable of justifying these outbursts of passion? |
18438 | Are there not Catholic books and publications of various sorts? |
18438 | Are there reasons for this economy of salvation? |
18438 | Are they likely to receive it as truth, either because they are looking for just such reports, or because they know no better? |
18438 | Are we bound to keep our oaths? |
18438 | But if it is nothing more than this, how came it to get on the table of the Law? |
18438 | But is he bound to do this, morally? |
18438 | But must I impoverish myself? |
18438 | But suppose, being a Catholic, I can not see things in that true light, what then? |
18438 | But the question may be:"To do or not to do; which is right and which is wrong?" |
18438 | But what has that to do with the Communion of Saints? |
18438 | But what is a right? |
18438 | Can I not defend myself?" |
18438 | Can it not only rob us of the power to will, not only force us to act without consent, but also force the will, force us to consent? |
18438 | Can the will of God, unmistakably manifested, be thus disregarded and put aside by His creatures? |
18438 | Can violence and fear do more than this? |
18438 | Depravity? |
18438 | Do they signify a swearing, by God, either in their natural sense or in their general acceptation? |
18438 | Else why is fasting and abstinence-- two correctives of gluttony-- so much in honor and so universally recommended and commanded in the Church? |
18438 | Even in human affairs, can one admit that two and three are seven? |
18438 | First of all, what is a vow? |
18438 | Has a person in misfortune the right to strike down another who has had no part in making that misfortune? |
18438 | Has no one a right to differ from the Church? |
18438 | Holding to Catholic principles how can he do otherwise? |
18438 | How can a custodian of divine truth act otherwise? |
18438 | How can he consistently seek after truth when he is convinced that he holds it? |
18438 | How can he refuse to hear Catholic preaching and teaching, any more than Baptist, Methodist and Episcopalian doctrines? |
18438 | How can he say she is right on one occasion, and wrong on another? |
18438 | How long should the child be kept at school? |
18438 | How many sins do I commit if the act lasts, say, two hours? |
18438 | How then could He make intelligence the first principle of salvation and of faith? |
18438 | IS SUICIDE A SIN? |
18438 | If God made man, man belongs to Him; if from that possession flows a natural obligation to worship with heart and tongue, why not also of the body? |
18438 | If it is lawful for a short time, why not for a long time? |
18438 | If it is lawful to contract a solemn engagement with man, why not with God? |
18438 | If the Church is right in this, why should she not be right in defining the Immaculate Conception? |
18438 | If there are vocations in the natural life, why should there not be in the supernatural, which is just as truly a life? |
18438 | If variety of aptitudes and likes determine difference of calling, why should this not hold good for the soul as well as for the body and mind? |
18438 | If we can not assert, how can we deny? |
18438 | If we can not rejoice with the neighbor, why be pained at his felicity? |
18438 | In doubt the question may be:"To do; is it right or wrong? |
18438 | In other words, is there nothing but venial sin in thefts of little values, or is there only one big sin at the end? |
18438 | In this light we plead guilty; but is it simple bread? |
18438 | In this sense, is monastic poverty a bad and evil thing? |
18438 | In what does a man without prayer differ from such a being? |
18438 | Is Suicide a Sin? |
18438 | Is all killing prohibited? |
18438 | Is it because they are too poor? |
18438 | Is it enough to forgive sincerely from the heart? |
18438 | Is it enough, in order to qualify as a moral and responsible agent, to be in a position to respect or to violate the Law? |
18438 | Is it not sufficient to be honest men and women? |
18438 | Many a pure love has degenerated and many a virtue fallen, why? |
18438 | May I perform this act, or must I abstain therefrom?" |
18438 | May it not happen that the very fact of your mentioning what you did is a sufficient mark of credibility for others? |
18438 | Must I love, really love, that low rascal, that cantankerous fellow, that repugnant, repulsive being? |
18438 | Now, what kind of an intelligible thing could sin be in the mind of a blasphemous agnostic? |
18438 | On what authority was it done? |
18438 | One book may not at the same time be three books; but can one divine nature be at one and the same time three divine persons? |
18438 | One may wonder and say:"how can guilt attach to doing good?" |
18438 | Or is there an intention of giving them this signification? |
18438 | Or that proud, overbearing creature who looks down on me and despises me? |
18438 | Or this other who has wronged me so maliciously? |
18438 | SHOULD WE HELP OUR PARENTS? |
18438 | Should We Help Our Parents? |
18438 | Suppose this change can not be justified on Scriptural grounds, what then? |
18438 | The question is: Does the nature of our relations with God demand this sort of worship? |
18438 | To what then shall one have recourse? |
18438 | WHAT is an enemy? |
18438 | WHAT kind of obedience is that which makes religious"unwilling to acknowledge any superior but the Pope?" |
18438 | Was there any clause therein by which you are entitled to change the terms of said contract without consulting the other party interested? |
18438 | We are unable to resolve the difficulties, lay the doubt, and form a sure conscience, what must we do? |
18438 | What about the Sunday instructions and sermons? |
18438 | What about those who call upon, and desire death? |

18438 | What is a moral agent? |
18438 | What is superstition and what is a superstitious practice? |
18438 | What is there to justify it? |
18438 | What is yielding to any passion but weakness? |
18438 | What kind of nonsense is it that makes her truthful or erring according to one''s fancy and taste? |
18438 | What meaning could it have for any man who professes not to know, or to care, who or what God is? |
18438 | What takes the place of this hate? |
18438 | What then? |
18438 | What therefore is more natural than that some should choose to give themselves up heart, soul and body to the exclusive service of God? |
18438 | What''s the good of it? |
18438 | When parents, unworthy ones, do not appreciate their own dignity, how will others, their children, appreciate it? |
18438 | Where did you get your faith? |
18438 | Where is the advantage in leading such an impossible existence when a person can save his soul without it? |

18438 | Where will he ever get this necessary information, if he is not taught? |
18438 | Where will our friend find a loop- hole to escape? |
18438 | Which is the more guilty? |
18438 | Which should have the preference of my assent? |
18438 | Who are bound to serve? |
18438 | Who can unravel the mysteries of religion? |
18438 | Who else can teach him religious truth when he believes that an infallible Church gives him God''s word and interprets it in the true and only sense? |
18438 | Who is to blame but themselves? |
18438 | Who may not consider himself ill- paid? |
18438 | Why are there seen so few children in the fashionable districts of our large cities? |
18438 | Why are there so few large families outside the Irish and Canadian elements? |
18438 | Why did He act thus? |
18438 | Why not give the poor full value for their share of the burden? |
18438 | Why not provide them with intellectual tools that suit their condition, just as the rich are being provided for in the present system? |
18438 | Why not respect the grave? |
18438 | Why should the poor be taxed to educate the rich? |
18438 | Why this blast of sterility with which the land is cursed? |
18438 | Why was it made? |
18438 | Why? |
18438 | Will God do this without being asked? |
18438 | Will they believe it, whether you do or not? |
18438 | Would they, or would they not, consider themselves injured by such revelations? |
18438 | or because they are both? |
18438 | or because they are too rich? |
7819 | And are not often here, as well as in other Nations, People convicted of, and punished for those Crimes? |
7819 | And is it possible that Men can have a more noble Aim in Temporals? |
7819 | And what Service can their Self- denial and Mortification be of to the Vain and Sensual, who gratify every Appetite that comes uppermost? |
7819 | Are not all Christian Divines call''d Preachers, as well as Ministers of the Gospel? |
7819 | As how? |
7819 | But do you think this is an Answer to what I said? |
7819 | But how can wicked Men be made to do this? |
7819 | But is he serious, when he speaks of the Men of ancient Honour, of whom he thinks_ Don Quixot_ to have been the last? |

7819 | But what Analogy is there between the_ Roman Catholick_ Religion, and a Manufacture, as you insinuated? |

7819 | But where are these Women to be found? |
7819 | But why may not Protestants have Men of good Sense and Capacity among them, as well as_ Roman Catholicks_? |
7819 | But why should I wonder at the_ Mexicans_? |
7819 | But why should that be taken for granted, of a fellow so thoroughly wicked? |
7819 | But would Men be more sway''d by Things they believed only, than they would be by those they understood? |
7819 | But, how are you sure, that this was the Work of Moralists and Politicians, as you seem to insinuate? |
7819 | Can not Two Things be so exactly alike, that they shall differ in Nothing? |
7819 | Do n''t you think this must be a great Mortification to young Women? |
7819 | Do n''t you think, that many Believers have been worse Men, than some_ Atheists_? |
7819 | Do not other Countries produce Men of Genius as well as_ Italy_? |
7819 | Do you remember what I said of Self- liking in our Third Conversation, when I spoke of the Origin of Politeness? |
7819 | Do you think( for that is the Point) it would have any Influence over his Actions? |
7819 | Have not the_ Greeks_ and_ Romans_ had great Numbers of them? |
7819 | How come you to be so very sure of that? |
7819 | How long, pray, do you intend to go on with this Ca nt? |
7819 | I want to know the vast Service an outward Shew of Religion can be of to wicked Men, for the obtaining of Victory: When shall I see that? |
7819 | In short, which of the Two is it, you would stir up and cultivate in them if you could, Humility or Pride? |
7819 | In what Part of the World is it, that you have observed this? |
7819 | In what Respect is it better? |
7819 | Is it but within these Thousand Years that there have been men of Bravery and Virtue? |
7819 | It is astonishing, I own; but what would you infer from them? |

7819 | Pray, how wicked would they be? |
7819 | Pray, when a Man asserts a Thing upon his Honour, is it not a Kind of Swearing by himself, as others do by God? |

7819 | What could be meaner than the Origin of Ancient_ Rome_? |
7819 | What could they pretend her Divinity to consist in? |
7819 | What do you think of Love? |

7819 | What is it that happen''d then? |
7819 | What is it that keeps these Men in Awe? |
7819 | What is it that this Evil ought to be imputed to? |
7819 | What is it, pray? |
7819 | What is that pray? |
7819 | What is that, pray? |
7819 | What keeps them true to their Word, and steady to their Engagements, tho''they should be Losers by it? |
7819 | What must they think of the Cardinals and the Pope himself? |
7819 | What will it do to serious and able Enquirers, that refuse to trust to Outsides, and will not be barr''d from searching into the Bottom of Things? |
7819 | Why ca n''t you take up with either of these Names? |
7819 | Why should they pay for Preaching for Praying at all, if they laid no Stress upon them? |
7819 | Why should we be ashamed of this? |
7819 | Would you mortify or flatter; lessen or increase in them the Passion of Self- liking, in order to preserve their Chastity? |
7819 | You have only named Love and Esteem; they alone can not produce Reverence by your own Maxim; how could they make a man afraid of himself? |
32438 | ''What shall we do with the money?'' 32438 ''Yes, is n''t it the answer to our prayer?'' |
32438 | And if I do sell, somebody else will lose instead of me? |
32438 | And supposing I do n''t sell, what then? |
32438 | And what would be the good? 32438 Are you setting yourself up to judge your father and mother, young man?" |
32438 | But what of your$ 35,000 income? |
32438 | But why did n''t you tell your father? |
32438 | Do n''t you see you are making a fool of yourself? |
32438 | Do you call that recent? |
32438 | Do you mind telling me now what you did with the money? |
32438 | Do you suppose Jesus Christ would sell out? |
32438 | Does every traveler see all he describes? |
32438 | How can we? |
32438 | How could I think of anything but service at the front? |
32438 | How could we succeed with that man watching us? |
32438 | How do you explain your ability to go on with your studies? |
32438 | I hope you are not to lose a connection in Chicago? |
32438 | In good health? |
32438 | Make God my friend? |
32438 | Oh, you mean the colleagues who took over my patients? 32438 Pocketing yourself, are you?" |
32438 | The man who has the largest bank account? 32438 Was n''t that just like him?" |
32438 | Was the sacrifice necessary? |
32438 | What are you doing? |
32438 | What are you going to do? |
32438 | What is the use of traveling to one who can not see? |
32438 | What made you do it? |
32438 | What train is that? |
32438 | What useful work can he do, handicapped as he is? |
32438 | What was it to be? |
32438 | What''s that? |
32438 | What''s the matter with that? |
32438 | Where did you get that? 32438 Where?" |
32438 | Who is the most successful business man? |
32438 | Who was Elihu Burritt? 32438 Why do n''t you have done with that half- way patriotism?" |
32438 | Why do n''t you pause long enough to call on B----? |
32438 | Why pay so much attention to detail? |
32438 | Why should I bother about Nature when Nature does nothing but thwart me? |
32438 | Why, in the name of reason, do you walk a mile in the rain for a perfectly unimportant thing? |
32438 | Why? |
32438 | You wonder what has happened here, do n''t you? |
32438 | ''$ 12 for a day''s work? |
32438 | ''What does this mean?'' |
32438 | A CHAPTER OF-- ACCIDENTS? |
32438 | Am I conforming to it? |
32438 | An earthly father knows how to give good things to his children; shall not the Heavenly Father do as much and more? |
32438 | And when the time for separation came, one said to the other:"Will you please give a message to your wife? |
32438 | Asked how long he was laid up, the surprised answer was:"Laid up for that? |
32438 | At first he laughed at the idea; had he not been told that he could never hope to do anything useful? |
32438 | But are we any worse than our fathers were? |
32438 | But are we to stop with quickened heartbeats and gratitude for the greatness of heart shown by others? |
32438 | But do they not do more? |
32438 | But what of it? |
32438 | But why unbelievable? |
32438 | But would it not be worth while to miss one of the meetings when he did not see how he could well arrange for both? |
32438 | Can you imagine my joy when, from the day school opened, I had no recurrence of my trouble? |
32438 | Charles, when you get to be a man, do you suppose you will always be so careless of how others may misunderstand you?" |
32438 | Comfort of service? |
32438 | DID HE GO TOO FAR? |
32438 | Do n''t they? |
32438 | Ease, or honorable performance of duty? |
32438 | Fine story, is n''t it? |
32438 | God does n''t bother about me; why should I bother about Him?" |
32438 | God was by his side; then why should not he talk to God, by ejaculation as well as by more formal utterance? |
32438 | He said,''Want something, lad?'' |
32438 | His first question was not,"Does the public need this invention?" |
32438 | Holding it first with one hand, then with the other, to rest her little arms, she called down to her brother,"Does it hurt you, Willie?" |
32438 | How about Henry Nasmyth, the English inventor of the steam piledriver, whose ideas were stolen by French machinists? |
32438 | How can the wanderer in field and forest forget that God is love? |
32438 | How could Paul bear all these things? |
32438 | How could he stand up against the older students? |
32438 | How is it possible to make the memory a helpful servant unless nothing is allowed to find lodgment there that is not worth while? |
32438 | How is the needed courage to be secured? |
32438 | How long do we intend to persist in treasuring the grudge that has perhaps already caused sorrow that can not be measured? |
32438 | How would the courageous man receive an announcement like that? |
32438 | How would you receive it? |
32438 | III COMPANIONSHIP WITH THE PAST What, courage from companionship with the past? |
32438 | IV DID HE GO TOO FAR? |
32438 | If he had taken it, what of his touch with the Cincinnati meeting? |
32438 | If you had been a judge in that contest, would you have felt like giving the prize to a paper that suggested such an omission? |
32438 | Impossible and impracticable? |
32438 | Instead he asks,"Is this necessary? |
32438 | Is it God''s will that I should return and that there should be better paid work? |
32438 | Is it any wonder that the lives of so many everywhere are empty? |
32438 | Is it worth while to ask God to look out for the everyday needs of His people? |
32438 | Is n''t it involved in courageous following of Christ? |
32438 | Is n''t that good news?" |
32438 | It will take you a week, wo n''t it? |
32438 | More of it? |
32438 | More school- houses? |
32438 | Naturally there were those who asked,"Was such a sacrifice necessary?" |
32438 | Necessary? |
32438 | New houses for workers?" |
32438 | Now the practical question is, What is God''s will? |
32438 | Suppose you had the task of cutting your budget, would you feel like revising downward the provision for giving? |
32438 | That is the attitude toward life of the worker worth while; he does not stop to ask,"Is this easy?" |
32438 | The desire for popularity, or the purpose to be of use? |
32438 | The question flashed across his mind,"Might I not make more of my life than by remaining here?" |
32438 | Then how about the nephew of whom Dr. Alexander MacColl told at Northfield? |
32438 | Through lack of faith am I failing to receive and appropriate for myself and Satara what I and Satara need? |
32438 | VI A CHAPTER OF-- ACCIDENTS? |
32438 | What are some of the results of courage? |
32438 | What are the springs of courage? |
32438 | What could he do for others? |
32438 | What do you say to coming to me the first thing in the morning? |
32438 | What if I do have to start all over again when I come home? |
32438 | What if this letter writer had become discouraged before he wrote this final letter? |
32438 | What shall we choose? |
32438 | What was he to do on this occasion? |
32438 | Which is the path of courage? |
32438 | Why did he succeed? |
32438 | Why not let economy begin there? |
32438 | Why not try it? |
32438 | Will it be helpful?" |
32438 | Would he ever be done? |
32438 | Would it hurt anything if he should make an exception in favor of this customer who could not be expected to understand his scruples? |
32438 | but"Is there money in it?" |
50189 | ''And if he stopped dreaming about you, where do you suppose you''d be?'' |
50189 | ''If I am not for myself,''said the great Hillel,''who is for me? |
50189 | ''Is the person an original undetermined cause of the determination of his will? |
50189 | --can only be answered by this other question,''What has it done or got done?'' |
50189 | Alice has been taken to see the Red King as he lies snoring; and Tweedledee asks,''Do you know what he is dreaming about?'' |
50189 | And as for his knowledge, was he not a man miraculous with powers more than man''s? |
50189 | And if I am only for myself, where is the use of me? |
50189 | And if not now, when?'' |
50189 | And the question which our conscience is always asking about that which we are tempted to believe is not,''Is it comfortable and pleasant?'' |
50189 | And this leads very naturally to putting the question in another form, namely,''What is taste good for? |
50189 | Are we then bound to believe that nature is absolutely and universally uniform? |
50189 | Are we to doubt the word of a man so great and so good? |
50189 | But are we not trusting our spectroscope too much? |
50189 | But are we to attribute this to the individual insight of the Stoic philosophers? |
50189 | But in regard to the doctrine itself, we can only ask,''Is it true?'' |
50189 | But is this a true belief, of the existence of hydrogen in the sun? |
50189 | But it may be further asked''What is generally thought right?'' |
50189 | But our special inquiry is, what account can be given of these facts by the scientific method? |
50189 | But the doctors discussed the case in which one of these idolaters owes you a bill; are you to let him pay it during that week or not? |
50189 | But the school of Hillel said,''Yes, let him pay it; for how can he enjoy his feast while his bills are unpaid?'' |
50189 | Can it help in the right guidance of human action? |
50189 | Can my sense of hearing assure me that nothing inaudible is going on? |
50189 | Can the favor of the Czar make guiltless the murderer of old men and women and children in Circassian valleys? |
50189 | Can the pardon of the Sultan make clean the bloody hands of a Pasha? |
50189 | Can we suppose that this magnificent genius, this splendid moral hero, has lied to us about the most solemn and sacred matters? |
50189 | Could such a man speak falsely about solemn things? |
50189 | Did Zeus commit this crime, or did he not? |
50189 | First of all, then, what are the facts? |
50189 | Given an absolutely dark room, can my sense of sight assure me that there is no one but myself in it? |
50189 | He who, wearied or stricken in the fight with the powers of darkness, asks himself in a solitary place,''Is it all for nothing? |
50189 | His people have tied up hatchets so for ages: who is he that he should set himself up against their wisdom? |
50189 | How does a dream differ from waking life? |
50189 | How much light can be got for this end from the historical records we possess? |
50189 | I may ask,''How shall I train myself? |
50189 | If the action does not depend on the character, what is the use of trying to alter the character? |
50189 | If we ask,''What makes it to be that action and no other?'' |
50189 | In what cases, then, let us ask in the first place, is the testimony of a man unworthy of belief? |
50189 | Is it possible to believe that a system which has succeeded so well is really founded upon a delusion? |
50189 | Is it possible to doubt and to test it? |
50189 | Is not his word to be believed in when he testifies of heavenly things? |
50189 | Is there any reason why we should not go on to a motive of the third order, and the fourth, and so on? |
50189 | Is this a merely theoretical discussion about far- away things? |
50189 | May we not say in the present sense of the word that the external circumstances are responsible for the restriction on his choice? |
50189 | May we not say that the punch is responsible for the shape of the hole, but not for the position of it? |
50189 | Now is this the same assumption as before, a mere assumption of the uniformity of nature? |
50189 | Of the two questions, equally important to the trustworthiness of a witness,''Is he dishonest?'' |
50189 | Shall we listen to Mr. Mivart, who''execrates without reserve Marian persecutions, the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, and all similar acts''? |
50189 | Shall we steal and tell lies because we have had no personal experience wide enough to justify the belief that it is wrong to do so? |
50189 | The Categorical Imperative.--May we now say that the maxims of Ethic are hypothetical maxims? |
50189 | The first half is the question: what relation holds good between these quantities? |
50189 | The question is not, therefore,''May we believe what goes beyond experience?'' |
50189 | The question which we want to ask ourselves--''Is it right to support this or that priesthood?'' |
50189 | Thus we can not help asking whether there is any reason for preferring one moral sense to another; whether the question,''What is right to do?'' |
50189 | To the question''What is right?'' |
50189 | We also say sometimes, in answer to the question,''How do you know that this is right or wrong?'' |
50189 | What is the best taste?'' |
50189 | What is the purpose or function of taste?'' |
50189 | What ought I to feel to be right?'' |
50189 | What shall we say of him? |
50189 | What shall we say of that authority, more venerable and august than any individual witness, the time- honored tradition of the human race? |
50189 | What should we answer to this Mussulman? |
50189 | What, then, hinders us from saying that life is all a dream? |
50189 | When we ask the practical question,''Who is responsible for so- and- so?'' |
50189 | When, therefore, we ask,''What is the physical link between the ingoing message from chilled skin and the outgoing message which moves the leg?'' |
50189 | Who can tell whether a given act of punishment was done from a private or from a public motive? |
50189 | Who shall dare to say which? |
50189 | Why, for example, do we not regard a lunatic as responsible? |
50189 | Will he not learn to cry,''Peace,''to me, when there is no peace? |
50189 | Will that diminish the guilt of her owner? |
50189 | Would this make any difference in the guilt of the accusers? |
50189 | and how can we justify ourselves in believing that the other was not also deluded? |
50189 | and if possible, is it right? |
50189 | and''May he be mistaken?'' |
50189 | but,''Is it true?'' |
50189 | for this is involved in the very nature of belief; but''How far and in what manner may we add to our experience in forming our beliefs?'' |
50189 | or what ought I to think right?'' |
50189 | shall we indeed be overthrown?'' |
50189 | what is the best conscience?'' |
50189 | what kind of conscience shall we try to get? |
20151 | And is it too late? 20151 And they wanted you to tell me of their misfortune"? |
20151 | But if it be intended to redeem the legal tenders in gold, what will have been the net gain to the Government in the whole transaction? 20151 But now, gentlemen of the convention, what do we want? |
20151 | But,replied the rich man,"if everybody was like you it would be spent in two months, and what would we then do?" |
20151 | Do n''t you believe me? |
20151 | Have a cigar? |
20151 | He said to me,''Your name is----? 20151 How do you get it here?" |
20151 | Nor gamble? |
20151 | Nor smoke? |
20151 | Well, what did Mr. Tilden say? |
20151 | What salary will he require? |
20151 | Yes,broke in Seward,"am I not Governor of this State?" |
20151 | You do n''t drink? |
20151 | ''Can I have a passage down?'' |
20151 | ''Do you return to New York with this boat?'' |
20151 | A laugh followed which roused his Southern blood, and he exclaimed:"Do you doubt it? |
20151 | A plain man standing by offered to perform the service, and when they arrived at the door the young man asked,''What shall I pay you, sir''? |
20151 | All the world asks is,"What can he do"? |
20151 | And what claim founded in justice and right has been unsatisfied? |
20151 | And will any one say that William G. Fargo was not deserving of this splendid success? |
20151 | As young Childs had ability, and it was apparent, what matter it how old he was or where he came from? |
20151 | But again gentlemen, what have we to gain by this proposed change of our relation to the general government? |
20151 | But the ugly question recurs, what are you going to do with the greenbacks thus put afloat? |
20151 | But what of the other nineteen? |
20151 | By and by Charlie says,"Do you like it, Harry"? |
20151 | Could any motive be more worthy of imitation than this? |
20151 | Could any sentiment be more beautiful? |
20151 | Could there be higher praise than this? |
20151 | Dear reader, did you ever think that the more a person has to do, the more they feel they can do? |
20151 | Did people get down on their knees to Beecher, begging him to occupy Plymouth church? |
20151 | Do our readers call this luck? |
20151 | Do we not find Michael Angelo neglecting school to copy drawings? |
20151 | Do you reply that in many instances they have violated this law and have not been faithful to their engagements? |
20151 | Does he often get so? |
20151 | Does not history bear us out in this? |
20151 | Does one of my readers for one moment allow himself to believe that Stephen Girard was a lucky man? |
20151 | Franklin said,"Dost thou love life? |
20151 | Fulton, I presume?'' |
20151 | Gaze on such a character; does it not thrill your very soul and cause your very heart to bleed that such a man should be shot by a dastardly assassin? |
20151 | Girard?" |
20151 | Had he been taking a drop too much?" |
20151 | Have I missed him? |
20151 | He went, and on his return reported, when the question:"What did Mr. Tilden say"? |
20151 | Henry Clay learning pieces to recite in the barn or corn field? |
20151 | How does it look? |
20151 | How shall we do this great work? |
20151 | How was this accomplished? |
20151 | I ask the gentleman from Massachusetts to tell us, what then? |
20151 | Is it anything surprising that those who aim at nothing, accomplish nothing in life? |
20151 | Is it not so? |
20151 | Is not that glorious success? |
20151 | Is there no appeal in this wonderful and enchanting fact to man''s highest reason? |
20151 | James being the eldest was once asked,"Which is Harper and which the brothers?" |
20151 | Jay Gould has been the subject of much abuse; indeed, what great men have not been? |
20151 | John?" |
20151 | Look at Spurgeon; was he picked up bodily and placed in the pulpit he now stands upon? |
20151 | Look at the men in our own community who have done the most for mankind; are they the wealthy, whose only duty seems to be to kill time? |
20151 | Not how much do I know, but how much do I do with what I know? |
20151 | Nothing is so fascinating as success, and the momentous question relative to every great man is:"How did he begin?" |
20151 | Now, why is it some succeed while others fail? |
20151 | Of what interest has the South been invaded? |
20151 | One friend was heard to accost another in the street with:"John, will thee risk thy life in such a concern? |
20151 | Or whence this dread secret and inward horror Of falling into naught? |
20151 | Ought we soon to forget him to whom we are indebted, in a large measure, for all this? |
20151 | PETER COOPER Who, indeed, is there who has not heard of Peter Cooper? |
20151 | Pause, I entreat you, and consider for a moment what reasons you can give that will satisfy yourselves in calmer moments? |
20151 | Reader, think of it; can you make yourself believe that his great riches came through''good luck''? |
20151 | Shall I then make myself the subject of every opinion, wise or weak? |
20151 | So said Christ eighteen hundred years ago; is it not so to- day? |
20151 | Solomon said:"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? |
20151 | The question the great busy world asks the claimant is: What can he do? |
20151 | The world will only ask,"What can he do?" |
20151 | They will be calm and deliberate judges of this case, and to what cause, or one overt- act can you point on which to rest the plea of justification? |
20151 | This naturally awakens interest; where is it? |
20151 | Was it''good luck''that placed Girard at one move at the head of American financiers? |
20151 | Was this presumption? |
20151 | What enterprise can you mention looking to the betterment of material interests in which he did not have part? |
20151 | What general intentions-- what special traits led him to success? |
20151 | What ideal stood before him, and by what means did he seek to attain it? |
20151 | What is success? |
20151 | What justice has been denied? |
20151 | What king so strong Can tie the gall up in the slanderous tongue? |
20151 | What more could be said? |
20151 | What reasons can you give to the nations of the earth to justify it? |
20151 | What reasons can you give to your fellow- sufferers in the calamity that it will bring upon us? |
20151 | What right has the North assailed? |
20151 | What was the effect? |
20151 | When such lights of journalism would write for the_ Ledger_, what could lesser country editors say? |
20151 | When we asked a three- fifths representation in Congress for our section was it not granted? |
20151 | Where is the remedy? |
20151 | While others were smoking and drinking,''having fun while they were young, for when would they if not then?'' |
20151 | Who built it? |
20151 | Who dares deny that Cyrus W. Field is not deserving of enduring fame? |
20151 | Who indeed has not wished that he could have at least a small part of the vast wealth possessed by the Vanderbilts? |
20151 | Who indeed is there who has not heard of the Rothschilds? |
20151 | Who would not be interested? |
20151 | Who, indeed, has not heard of the American Express Company? |
20151 | Why did he succeed, while others all about him who were far better situated, failed? |
20151 | Why do n''t you make a sewing- machine?'' |
20151 | Why shrinks the soul Back on herself, and startles at destruction? |
20151 | Why was this man great? |
20151 | Why would n''t he? |
20151 | Why would n''t you? |
20151 | Why, then, did he succeed, while so many others failed? |
20151 | Why? |
20151 | Will you endorse my note for that amount?" |
20151 | Will you take it, General?'' |
20151 | Worldly reasoners and great financiers, wiseacres and successful editors prophesied its failure, but what mattered this to George W. Childs? |
20151 | You are from----, in Pennsylvania? |
20151 | You may get rid of the Five- twenty by issuing the greenback, but how will you get rid of the greenback except by paying gold? |
20151 | You said that you had more than sixty members who voted for me for President, and who are ready to do it again"? |
20151 | how many of us would''peter''out in a short time? |
20151 | what would folks think? |
4320 | AND CAN YOU THEN IMAGINE, cried the hero, that Iphicrates WOULD BE GUILTY? |
4320 | After what manner? |
4320 | And can not we easily distinguish between nature and accident, in the one case as well as in the other?] |
4320 | And indeed to what other purpose do all the ideas of chastity and modesty serve? |
4320 | And is not the chief object of vanity, our bravery or learning, our wit or breeding, our eloquence or address, our taste or abilities? |
4320 | And must not this argument bring as strong conviction, in moral as in natural disquisitions? |
4320 | And what has a few months afterwards become of it, when every disposition and thought of all the actors is totally altered or annihilated? |
4320 | And would not the same praise be given it, though snails or vermin had destroyed the peaches, before they came to full maturity? |
4320 | Are not justice, fidelity, honour, veracity, allegiance, chastity, esteemed solely on account of their tendency to promote the good of society? |
4320 | At what time, or on what subject it first began to exist? |
4320 | BUT WHAT RULE HAVE WE, BY WHICH WE CAN DISTINGUISH THESE OBJECTS? |
4320 | But can we ever be in love with the former? |
4320 | But what are the relations, I ask, of which you here talk? |
4320 | But when these different reflections and observations concur in establishing the same conclusion, must they not bestow an undisputed evidence upon it? |
4320 | But who is there that ever heard of such an instinct? |
4320 | But why, in the greater society or confederacy of mankind, should not the case be the same as in particular clubs and companies? |
4320 | But, USEFUL? |
4320 | Can any one seriously deliberate in the case? |
4320 | Does the crime consist in that relation? |
4320 | Does the morality consist in the relation of its parts to each other? |
4320 | For what else can have an influence of this nature? |
4320 | For what purpose make a partition of goods, where every one has already more than enough? |
4320 | For what? |
4320 | HAS HE WIT? |
4320 | HOW COULD SOCIETY SUBSIST UNDER SUCH DISORDERS? |
4320 | Have we any difficulty to comprehend the force of humanity and benevolence? |
4320 | Have we original innate ideas of praetors and chancellors and juries? |
4320 | How is it determined? |
4320 | How little is requisite to supply the necessities of nature? |
4320 | How? |
4320 | I.]? |
4320 | If the secret direction of the intention, said every man of sense, could invalidate a contract; where is our security? |
4320 | If you demand WHY? |
4320 | In morals too, is not THE TREE KNOWN BY THE FRUIT? |
4320 | In short, what character, or peculiar turn of understanding, is more excellent than another? |
4320 | In what does it consist? |
4320 | Is gratitude no affection of the human breast, or is that a word merely, without any meaning or reality? |
4320 | Is not this fine reasoning? |
4320 | It is by another original instinct, that we recognize the authority of kings and senates, and mark all the boundaries of their jurisdiction? |
4320 | Or if we admit a disinterested benevolence in the inferior species, by what rule of analogy can we refuse it in the superior? |
4320 | Or is this a subject in which new discoveries can be made? |
4320 | Or to conceive, that the very aspect of happiness, joy, prosperity, gives pleasure; that of pain, suffering, sorrow, communicates uneasiness? |
4320 | Or what is it commonly, that gives us any participation in it, even while alive and present, but our affection and regard to him? |
4320 | Shall we account for all THEIR sentiments, too, from refined deductions of self- interest? |
4320 | That it may be alienated by consent, in order to beget that commerce and intercourse, which is so BENEFICIAL to human society? |
4320 | That the property ought also to descend to children and relations, for the same USEFUL purpose? |
4320 | Thus, I have often observed, that, among the French, the first questions with regard to a stranger are, IS HE POLITE? |
4320 | WHAT IS A MAN''S PROPERTY? |
4320 | WHAT IS THAT TO ME? |
4320 | Were the distinction or separation of possessions entirely useless, can any one conceive, that it ever should have obtained in society? |
4320 | What else do we mean by saying that one is rich, the other poor? |
4320 | What habits, of consequence, more blameable? |
4320 | What is it then we can here dispute about? |
4320 | What is the reason, why, by the Athenian laws, one might marry a half- sister by the father, but not by the mother? |
4320 | What need of positive law where natural justice is, of itself, a sufficient restraint? |
4320 | What other passion is there where we shall find so many advantages united; an agreeable sentiment, a pleasing consciousness, a good reputation? |
4320 | What so natural, for instance, as the following dialogue? |
4320 | What then is this rule of right? |
4320 | When it is asked, whether a quick or a slow apprehension be most valuable? |
4320 | Whether a clear head or a copious invention? |
4320 | Whether a profound genius or a sure judgement? |
4320 | While we are ignorant whether a man were aggressor or not, how can we determine whether the person who killed him be criminal or innocent? |
4320 | Who did ever say, except by way of irony, that such a one was a man of great virtue, but an egregious blockhead? |
4320 | Who sees not, that all these institutions arise merely from the necessities of human society? |
4320 | Who would live amidst perpetual wrangling, and scolding, and mutual reproaches? |
4320 | Whose interest then? |
4320 | Why abridge our native freedom, when, in every instance, the utmost exertion of it is found innocent and beneficial? |
4320 | Why call this object MINE, when upon the seizing of it by another, I need but stretch out my hand to possess myself to what is equally valuable? |
4320 | Why create magistrates, where there never arises any disorder or iniquity? |
4320 | Why dig up the pestilence from the pit in which it is buried? |
4320 | Why give rise to property, where there can not possibly be any injury? |
4320 | Why is this peach- tree said to be better than that other; but because it produces more or better fruit? |
4320 | Why rake into those corners of nature which spread a nuisance all around? |
4320 | Would any man, who is walking along, tread as willingly on another''s gouty toes, whom he has no quarrel with, as on the hard flint and pavement? |
4320 | Would you have your company coveted, admired, followed; rather than hated, despised, avoided? |
43359 | Are you a Puseyite? |
43359 | How many servants do they keep? |
43359 | If I be dear, if I be dear,as the poet says, why should my correspondent begrudge me the four letters of so brief an adjective? |
43359 | A Frenchman may answer,"If Gladstone is not a lord, why do you call him one? |
43359 | A card is sent; why a card? |
43359 | Again, why am I not to speak of Sir Chamberlain? |
43359 | And are not these virtues and these aspirations held to be parts of a civilized man''s religion, and the best parts? |
43359 | And why am I to serve these men gratuitously and be called an ill- bred, discourteous person if I tacitly decline to be their servant? |
43359 | Anybody but a tradesman calls your letter a letter; why should an English tradesman call it"your favor,"and a French one"_ votre honorée_"? |
43359 | Are not articles of food more useful to the community than alcoholic drinks, and less likely to contribute to the general sum of evil? |
43359 | Are there any positions that are socially considered to be incompatible with the religious profession of a Dissenter? |
43359 | Besides, why_ modern_? |
43359 | But how, without riches, is the Bohemian to secure the advantages that he desires, for they also belong to riches? |
43359 | By this we mean that he will incur no legal disqualification for his opinions; but does he incur no social penalty? |
43359 | Could anything be prettier than that, though the reproach contained in it is really one of some severity? |
43359 | Could not the other buy land any day if he liked? |
43359 | Does he deserve to be blamed for this? |
43359 | Does she enjoy religious liberty? |
43359 | Has he not erected his splendid castle on a rock, like the builder of"The Palace of Art"? |
43359 | Have I indeed been guilty of injustice towards a class so deserving of respect and consideration as the Rich Old Maids of England? |
43359 | Have these correspondents any right to expect me to work an hour for them? |
43359 | Have you not sometimes gone a step further, and given a kind of assent to some opinion that was not your own? |
43359 | Have you not, by practice, attained the power of giving a still stronger and heartier assent to what seemed doubtful propositions? |
43359 | He will ask,"Why this reserve towards_ me_?" |
43359 | How are you, being at a distance, to get an indolent man to bestow that necessary attention? |
43359 | How can people live who have no fortune?" |
43359 | How else are we to account for the remarkable fact that salt- water breaks friendly communication by letter? |
43359 | How is a lad to enjoy the society of his mother if she is perpetually"nagging"and"nattering"at him? |
43359 | How is he to believe that his coarse father has a tender anxiety for his welfare when everything that he does is judged with unfatherly harshness? |
43359 | I once dined at a country- house in Scotland when the host asked one of the guests this question,"Are you a land- owner?" |
43359 | If the blame is not to be laid on the spirit of aristocracy, what is the real cause of the indisputable fact that an Englishman avoids an Englishman? |
43359 | If your son is far away during his months of work, and at home only for vacation pleasures, what, pray, is your hold upon him? |
43359 | Is it a mark of aristocracy? |
43359 | Is it a part of necessary good breeding to answer letters at all? |
43359 | Is it because our race is more aristocratic than other races? |
43359 | Is not this exactly like the lady who thought people stupid for not having an adequate establishment of servants? |
43359 | Is the best companionship a mere fiction of the fancy, not existing anywhere upon the earth? |
43359 | Many scribblers have facility, a flux of words, but who has Jacquemont''s weight of matter along with it? |
43359 | Marriage: responsibility increased, 25, 26; or celibacy? |
43359 | May he not reserve to himself some speciality? |
43359 | Might it not be suddenly and unexpectedly betrayed by a momentary absence of self- control? |
43359 | Now in all this does not the reader perceive that I was enjoying human intercourse in a very delicate and exquisite way? |
43359 | Shall I reveal the secret that lies in silence at the very bottom of the hearts of all worthy and honorable fathers? |
43359 | Shall we mourn over this death without hope, this blank annihilation, this finis of intercourse once so sweet, this dreary and ultimate conclusion? |
43359 | So why not accept the fact, why not admit that we have really become less religious? |
43359 | The bachelor is received for himself, for his genius, information, manners; but if he is married the question is,"What sort of people are_ they_?" |
43359 | The workman says,"Is my sight failing?" |
43359 | There were the Highlands of Scotland, but who had ever heard of the Highlands of France? |
43359 | They considered that this was modesty; but was it not just as untruthful as the commoner vice of assuming a style more showy than the means warrant? |
43359 | They diluted their ink with water, till the recipient of the letter cried,"Prithee, why so pale?" |
43359 | This, being interpreted, means,"What style do they live in?" |
43359 | Was not France a wearisome, tame country that unfortunately had to be traversed before one could get to Switzerland and Italy? |
43359 | Were all those dreams delusions? |
43359 | Were the plums, pears, strawberries, apples, apricots, that we consumed in omnivorous boyhood every one of them unripe? |
43359 | What are the superiorities, and what is the nature of the deference? |
43359 | What becomes of rules and maxims and wise old saws in the face of nature and reality? |
43359 | What can be apparently more indolent, for an hour or two after_ déjeûner_, than a prosperous man of business in Paris? |
43359 | What can be more private than a letter from a man to his wife on purely family matters? |
43359 | What can we do better than to observe nature with an open, unprejudiced mind, and gather some of the results of observation? |
43359 | What could be more reasonable than such a correction of the inequalities of fortune? |
43359 | What deadly feud of blood, caste, or religion could thus keep them apart? |
43359 | What do I, the receiver of a letter, care for second- hand opinions about anything? |
43359 | What gentleman would like his son to live habitually with the card- players I have described? |
43359 | What have stars and winds and odors to do with love? |
43359 | What is the need of it? |
43359 | What is the use of fine bindings and gilt edges? |
43359 | What right have I, because a thing is a pleasant pastime to me, to compel my friend or my son to do that thing when it is a_ corvée_ to him? |
43359 | What was to be done? |
43359 | What, not even a gooseberry? |
43359 | What_ can_ you have done to excite such bitter animosity? |
43359 | Who could be such a tyrant as to find fault with a boy because he so modestly chooses to be silent? |
43359 | Who is in fault? |
43359 | Why are rich people quiet and poorer ones noisy? |
43359 | Why not a piece of paper of the same size which would hold as many words? |
43359 | Why should it ever be considered obligatory upon a man to amuse himself in some way settled by others? |
43359 | Why wo n''t he give a proper price for a horse? |
43359 | Why, indeed, do we not all follow a rule so evidently wise? |
43359 | Why, then, do they take such pains to avoid intercourse?" |
43359 | Would a cabman drive them about the streets of London during an hour for nothing? |
43359 | Would a shoe- black brush their boots and trousers an hour for nothing? |
43359 | Would a waterman pull them an hour on the Thames for nothing? |
43359 | Would you have dared to hint, for example, that a serious mind might be none the worse for some acquaintance with Montesquieu and De Tocqueville? |
43359 | Would you have ventured to say a word in their defence? |
43359 | Would you please send me a handsome bonnet and some handkerchiefs? |
43359 | then how can they possibly live? |
43359 | why wast thou not there to add a paragraph to the"Book of Snobs"? |
60422 | ( 2) Will it afford a common good? |
60422 | And how, in any case, can we tell a scientific investigator that up to a certain experiment or calculation his work may be social, beyond that, not? |
60422 | And if the law does excite feeling or desire, must not this, on Kant''s theory, be desire for pleasure and thus vitiate the morality of the act? |
60422 | And if we can make this one exception, why not others? |
60422 | And why should I, even though thousands of other men happened to prefer A? |
60422 | Are we ready to say that a good chemist or good carpenter, or good musician is, in so far, a good man? |
60422 | Because my happiness is intrinsically desirable to me, does it follow that your happiness is intrinsically desirable to me? |
60422 | But admitting that environment is made what it is by the powers and aims of the agent, what sense shall we attribute to the term adjustment? |
60422 | But how can actual evil be made a factor of right conduct? |
60422 | But how shall this socialization of wants be secured? |
60422 | But in return it must be asked what is meant here by advantage? |
60422 | But what is conduct? |
60422 | But what is the meaning of the rest of the formula? |
60422 | But what_ kind_ of character, of conduct, is right or realizes its true end? |
60422 | Can he make the maxim of such conduct a universal law? |
60422 | Can his maxim be generalized? |
60422 | Can the maxim of this act be universalized? |
60422 | Can we imagine such an one deriving from his knowledge any idea of what concrete ends he ought to pursue and what to avoid? |
60422 | Certainly, but what of_ himself_? |
60422 | Do the consequences of an act have anything to do with its morality? |
60422 | Does duty itself disappear when its constraint disappears? |
60422 | Does it bear us out in the doctrine that pleasure is the object of desire? |
60422 | Does riding in a comfortable carriage, and following the course of his own reflections exhaust his need of action? |
60422 | Does the End Proposed Serve as a Criterion of Conduct? |
60422 | Does the institution in its present form work as it should work, or is some modification required? |
60422 | Does this rule which is now current embody the true needs of the situation, or is it an antiquated expression of by- gone relations? |
60422 | Each act stands by itself-- the only question is: What pleasure will_ it_ give? |
60422 | How can I be moved by the happiness which exists in some one else? |
60422 | How do we get the thought of a sum of pleasure, and of a maximum sum? |
60422 | How far does this end awaken response in me because I see that it is the end which is fit and due? |
60422 | How shall he pick it to pieces, so as to see its real nature and the act demanded by it? |
60422 | How shall the individual resolve it? |
60422 | How then can I reason from them to it? |
60422 | If desire or feeling as such is sensuous( or_ pathological_, as Kant terms it), what right have we to make this one exception? |
60422 | If he shot and the spectator were wounded, should we not hold the agent morally responsible? |
60422 | If the existing state of consciousness-- that which moves-- were pure pleasure, why should there be any movement, any act at all? |
60422 | If, then, no object of desire can be the motive of a good will, what is its motive? |
60422 | In other words, does every form of moral activity realize a common good, or is the moral end partly social, partly non- social? |
60422 | Indeed, in the hedonistic psychology, is it not nonsense to say that a state of your feeling is desirable to me? |
60422 | Is it compatible? |
60422 | Is it the mere historical fact that some man, who has experienced both, prefers A to B that makes A more desirable? |
60422 | Is killing in war murder? |
60422 | Is kind of pleasure the same thing as pleasure? |
60422 | Is taking life in self- defense murder? |
60422 | Is the good carpenter or chemist not only in so far a good man, but also a good social member? |
60422 | Is the hanging of criminals murder? |
60422 | Is there any_ indirect_ method of going from the pleasure of one to the pleasure of all? |
60422 | Is truth- telling, as such, right, or is it merely that this instance of it happens to be right? |
60422 | It is simply:_ What is this case?_ The moral act is not that which satisfies some far- away principle, hedonistic or transcendental. |
60422 | It may ask: What is this institution of family, property for? |
60422 | Now is this present feeling which moves( 1) mere pleasure and( 2) mere feeling at all? |
60422 | Or, since it is the end which gives action its moral value, what is the true end,_ summum bonum_ of man? |
60422 | Right in_ this_ instance, of course; but is it right generally? |
60422 | Shall we call it right? |
60422 | Suppose, however, that ends are independently suggested or proposed, will the Kantian conception serve to_ test_ their moral fitness? |
60422 | Surrendering this psychology, what shall we say of the maximum possibility of pleasure as the criterion of the morality of acts? |
60422 | The only question is:_ if_ hedonism were true,_ could_ we so learn? |
60422 | This being the case, how can it constitute the universal ideal of action? |
60422 | This expressly raises a question already incidentally touched upon: What is the controlling element in desire? |
60422 | This is implied by the fact that the parent would ask,"What_ made_ you_ angry_?" |
60422 | Under what conditions do commands play a part in moral conduct? |
60422 | Unless the end interests, unless it arouses emotion, why should the agent ever aim at it? |
60422 | What community is there between this principle and_ what_ he is to do? |
60422 | What determines the law of his conduct under the circumstances? |
60422 | What do we mean by individuality? |
60422 | What indeed can be worth while unless it be either enjoyable in itself or at least a means to enjoyment? |
60422 | What is it that arouses the mind to the larger activity? |
60422 | What is the nature of this law? |
60422 | What is the part played by specific commands and by general rules in the examination of conduct by conscience? |
60422 | What is the tribunal and what is the law of judgment? |
60422 | What is the true spirit of existing institutions, and what sort of conduct does this spirit demand? |
60422 | What kind of activity does it take to satisfy a man? |
60422 | What kind of an interest is our interest in persons, our distinctively social interest? |
60422 | What were human conduct without the one and the other? |
60422 | Where in this law- giving is there any separation from facts? |
60422 | Where then is the way out from a capricious self- conceit, on one hand, and a dead conformity on the other? |
60422 | Where, finally, does the social character of science and art come in? |
60422 | Whose happiness is desirable and_ to whom_? |
60422 | Why is it not open for an agent, under exceptional circumstances, to act for his own pleasure, to the exclusion of that of others? |
60422 | Why is the object thought of as pleasant? |
60422 | Will the conception that the end must be capable of being generalized tell us whether this or that end is one to be followed? |
60422 | Would theft be considered bad if it resulted in pleasure or truth itself good if its universal effect were pain? |
60422 | Would then justice cease to be a law for him if it were not observed at all in the society of which he is a member? |
60422 | XVI) required of a criterion, or standard:( 1) Will it unify individual conduct? |
60422 | _ How_ do we get from individual pleasure to the happiness of all? |
60422 | _ Why_ should I not gratify my desires as I please in case social pressure is absent or lets up? |
60422 | does not strict hedonism demand that all kinds of pleasure equally present as to intensity in consciousness shall be of the same value? |

41632 | And is this all? |

41632 | A little girl says,"I do n''t know which dress to put on my dolly, Mamma, which shall I?" |
41632 | A man always expects his wife to dress for him; why should he not dress for her? |

41632 | And do you ask why? |
41632 | And what could the modern English novelist do without it? |
41632 | Are there many opulent people who can say, The key to my house is wit and intellect, and character, without regard to party, caste or school? |
41632 | Are you going to feast the whole army of the Rhine? |
41632 | As true refinement comes from within, let him read the noble description of Thackeray:--"What is it to be a gentleman? |
41632 | As, for instance, the drawer gets the word"Africa"and the question"Have you an invitation to my wedding?" |
41632 | Broiled, devilled, stewed, cooked in a fashion called_ Bourdelaise_, it is the most delicious of dishes, and as a salad what can equal it? |
41632 | But are we as conscientious as the gentleman in"Punch"who rebuked the giddy girl who would talk to him at dinner? |
41632 | But if, after opening her doors, the hostess refuses the welcome, or treats her guests with various degrees of cordiality, why did she ask at all? |
41632 | But who can eat an orange well? |
41632 | Can we be a thorough- bred, or a thorough- fed, all by ourselves? |
41632 | Canst thou gulf a shoal Of herrings? |
41632 | Considering what has been expected of the American woman, has she not done rather well? |
41632 | Do we not make our dinners too long and too heavy? |
41632 | England is famed for its good fish, as why should it not be, with the ocean around it? |
41632 | First, whom shall we ask? |
41632 | For instance, if we compare a dinner in London with a dinner in New York, we must say, Whose dinner? |
41632 | For the roast, too, what plates so good as Doulton, real English, substantial_ faïence_? |
41632 | For what would Christmas be without the children? |
41632 | Has she not conquered her fate? |
41632 | Have we counted on that possible Utopia where men and women meet and talk, to contribute of their best thought to the entertaining? |
41632 | Have we many houses to which we are asked to a banquet of wit? |
41632 | Have we not the fee simple of terrapin and the exclusive excellence of shad? |
41632 | Have we not trout, salmon, the great fellows from the Great Lakes, and the exclusive ownership of the Spanish mackerel? |

41632 | If this is what they ate, what then did they drink? |
41632 | If we compare New York with Paris, we must say, What Paris? |
41632 | In this connection, why not call in the transcendent attraction of music? |
41632 | Indeed, it is the custom abroad to ask,"what has he done, what can he do?" |
41632 | Is it a manufactured object? |
41632 | Is not this a list to make"the rash gazer wipe his eye"? |
41632 | It is impossible to do much with the art of entertaining without servants, and where shall we get them? |
41632 | It is not a bad"look- out,"is it? |
41632 | Judging from many specimens which we have seen, may we not claim that the American woman must be stamped with an especial distinction? |
41632 | Now what to drink? |
41632 | Of what other fortune can we say so much? |
41632 | One asks,"Where are their manners?" |
41632 | Or hast thou gorge and room To bolt fat porpoises and dolphins whole By dozens, e''en as oysters we consume? |
41632 | Ought a gentleman to be a loyal son, a true husband, and honest father? |
41632 | Ought his life to be decent, his bills to be paid, his tastes to be high and elegant? |
41632 | Raw, roasted, boiled, stewed, scalloped and baked in patties, what so savoury as the oyster? |
41632 | Shall we try? |
41632 | She has furnished them with food and wine, but can she amuse them? |
41632 | Supposing we tell her? |
41632 | Thackeray praises Chambertin in verse more than once:--"''Oui, oui, Monsieur,''''s the waiter''s answer;''Quel vin Monsieur desire- t- il?'' |
41632 | The old saying that it takes three generations to make a gentleman makes us ask, How many does it take to unmake one? |
41632 | The questioner begins: Is it animal, vegetable or mineral? |
41632 | Then try quibbles:"How can I get the wine out of a bottle if I have no corkscrew and must not break the glass or make a hole in it or the cork?" |
41632 | To relieve them, to bring them into communion with their next neighbour, with whom they have nothing in common, what shall one do? |

14679 | New graces ever gaining:--did you gain any grace at all last Sunday-- or would this week have been exactly the same if Sunday had been wiped out? |
14679 | No; but they do n''t require entertaining before breakfast, do they? |
14679 | Then do you think Latin and Greek and mathematics no good for a woman? |
14679 | What time did you go to bed? |
14679 | Where shall we spend the holidays? |
14679 | Yes, I could keep up my reading, but how about the grammar? |
14679 | [ 2]But surely I had better do more than one subject in a day? |
14679 | [ 8] Do you feel that this is very tall talk for quiet lives like yours and mine? 14679 ''Could ye not watch with Me one hour?'' 14679 ''Will ye also go away?'' 14679 And can we dare to put our hand to this plough while neglecting our own training? 14679 And if we know that we are selfish in the matter,--what then? 14679 Another test you should apply to Friendship is, does it lead to idle words? 14679 Are there no old people you could amuse in some way,--possibly with whist? 14679 Are these words too solemn to use, after suggestions on talk which may seem to you to have been occupied with very petty and ignoble details? 14679 Are we to feel absolved from responding to His demand because old Jewish ways have vanished? 14679 Are you learning its lessons, or are you fretting for a remove? 14679 Are you prompt and alert in your movements, or do you indulge in that exasperating slowness, which some girls seem to consider quite a charm? 14679 Are you ready for real work? 14679 Are you to shut your eyes to the new lights, and be as though you had never known them? 14679 Are you, then, to reject all suggestions of a sensible marriage with any man who is not Prince Perfect? 14679 Are your books, and your self- discipline, and your time- table, only a hindrance to this? 14679 But apart from wrong talk, what sort of silly talk are you likely to be infected with at school? 14679 But are you to fritter away the time between this and then? 14679 But can you help being sentimental if you are made like that? 14679 But supposing I granted, for the sake of argument, that the original debt was on your parents''side and not on yours, what then? 14679 But to come at last to Solomon''s ideal-- what is our first impression of her? 14679 But what do you do after breakfast? |
14679 | Can you take criticism or contradiction with a perfectly unruffled face and voice? |

14679 | Have I tried to get cheap credit for wit, by sharp speeches,_ would- be_ clever criticism and pulling people to pieces? |
14679 | Have any of you the lurking thought,"I was born by no choice of my own: those who brought me into the world owe duty to me, not I to them?" |
14679 | Have the suggestions_ I_ made and the Resolutions_ we_ made, soaked into our lives and altered the stuff of which we are made? |

14679 | How much of it sets all harmony and rhythm at defiance? |
14679 | How much of our home life is set to music? |
14679 | How? |
14679 | If a fairy godmother offered you one gift, what would you choose? |
14679 | If they themselves do care and yet try to seem careless, are they not responsible for half the carelessness in those about them? |

14679 | Is it simply that we should be uncomfortable? |
14679 | Is not every right and wise piece of good work for others an attempt to help them to train themselves to live a higher life? |
14679 | Is not this very necessity in home life-- this"I must"--just the thing which makes it akin to our Lord''s life? |
14679 | Is not trustworthiness a main point in those we respect? |
14679 | Is she learning God''s lesson, and fitting herself for the still nobler life He wants to give her? |
14679 | Is there not in that Holiest Life a continual undercurrent of"I must"? |
14679 | It never occurs to the daughter that she sinned six times( or even shall we say eight or ten? |
14679 | May I suggest some thoughts for self- examination on the matter? |
14679 | Must you starve either head or heart? |
14679 | Need this be? |
14679 | No; he is rather saying,"How can you think that our Father values, not the lilies, but only the fact of their growing on this or that bit of earth?" |
14679 | Now, does your way of talking bring out the best side of yourself and of those you talk to? |
14679 | Now, how will such general lessons help you in after- life? |
14679 | Now, is it good or bad for girls to have a strong feeling of this kind for their school? |
14679 | Now, what plan of life should you have? |
14679 | Of course she does; if not, what good would school have done her? |
14679 | On which side do your words go-- talk or chatter? |
14679 | One good question to put daily to yourself is,"How much of my talk to- day was for myself, and against others? |
14679 | Or ask,"Have I, by my way of speaking_ or listening_, lowered any one''s standard to- day?" |
14679 | Ought not the trifling duties to be fuel to her burning desire for her nobleness of life, instead of dust to choke it? |
14679 | PREFACE What_ is_ the awkward age? |
14679 | Purity and Reverence are the two main things in talk, but how about Sense? |
14679 | Purity, truth, and love, Are they such common things? |
14679 | Retreats and Rest- cures are nowadays found to be imperatively necessary; but are not both symptoms of something over- wrought in our system? |
14679 | Saying those things makes the wheels of life''s chariot run smoothly,--we think them, why are we so slow to say them? |
14679 | Shall this be the result of your school learning? |
14679 | So many often say, or feel,"It''s not my duty to do this or that; why should I? |
14679 | So much for Prayer, our duty to God, and for Alms, our duty to our neighbour; how about Fasting, our duty to ourself? |

14679 | Why is home not felt to be a vocation? |
14679 | Why should she restrain her love of fun, her Tomboyism, her tendency to flirtation? |
14679 | Why should"the privilege of a friend"be synonymous with a cutting remark? |
14679 | Why were you born? |
14679 | Would it not be a pity to let your mind keep running on the very things from which you have come away? |
14679 | Would it not be well for some if they tried, as Miss Wordsworth suggests, the effect of keeping one Sunday in the week? |
14679 | _ Alms_.--What proportion of your money do you give away? |
14679 | and, equally, if he love not his brother close at hand, how can he love brethren afar off? |
14679 | did you seriously think over where you were unlike Him and where you could be more like Him in the coming week? |
14679 | it''s just as much_ her_ business,--why should n''t_ she_ do the dirty work?" |
8399 | And this humiliation, too? |
8399 | Can I bring you some tea? |
8399 | Do you believe in chance? |
8399 | Do you believe in ghosts? |
8399 | I can never plead a cause before my father? |
8399 | Is Miss Lucy at home? |
8399 | Is that window too cold? |
8399 | Is there more talent displayed in learning the violin than in playing a first- rate game of chess? |
8399 | Is_ Lucy_ home? |
8399 | Pray, can you tell me who the pianist is? |
8399 | WHO PAYS FOR THE CARDS? |
8399 | What do you think of a ladies''club? |
8399 | 2 might have perfect respect for the girl? |
8399 | A correspondent writes,"How shall I carry my fork to my mouth?" |
8399 | A pun is made on his name:"Should owled acquaintance be forgot?" |
8399 | All this we wish to say; but how shall we say it that our words may not hurt him a great deal more than he is hurt already? |
8399 | And who was a greater optimist than your Athenian? |
8399 | And yet no man would come into a lady''s drawing- room saying,"Where are the girls?" |
8399 | Another correspondent asks,"Should cheese be eaten with a fork?" |
8399 | Another of our correspondents asks,"Shall I respond to the lady of the house or to the bride if asked to a wedding?" |
8399 | Are they alone the visionaries who see the best rather than the worst? |
8399 | As there are always two sides to a shield, why not look at the golden one? |
8399 | As young people are often asked without their parents, the question arises, What should the parents do to show their sense of this attention? |
8399 | B � ranger was of the world, worldly; but can we give him up? |
8399 | But are those, then, the fools who see only the pleasant side? |
8399 | But does our bashful man know this? |
8399 | But if we were to answer the young lady''s later question,"Would this be considered etiquette?" |
8399 | But is it not improperly using a term of implied reproach? |
8399 | But the questioner may ask, Why invite guests, unless we wish to see them? |
8399 | But what shall we give them? |
8399 | But what shall we say to those on whom disgrace has laid its heavy, defiling hand? |
8399 | Can language measure the depth, the height, the immensity, the bitterness of that grief? |
8399 | Can not the elegance, the repose, and the respectfulness of the past return also? |
8399 | Could we all have abundant leisure and be sure to find our friends at home, what more agreeable business than visiting? |
8399 | Do not the breezes go through them? |
8399 | Do they not suffer from cold? |
8399 | Else, why such gifts as beauty, talent, health, wit, and a power of enjoyment be given to us? |
8399 | Has she necessarily less insight? |
8399 | He must be near enough to respond quickly when he hears the words,"Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?" |
8399 | He would Say;"Where are the young ladies?" |
8399 | How and when and on whom shall we leave our cards? |
8399 | How can we say to a mother who bends over a fresh grave, that we regret the loss she has sustained in the death of her child? |
8399 | How long and for whom shall we wear mourning? |
8399 | How much of the native good- will of an impulsive person has been frozen into a caustic and sardonic temper by the lack of a little optional civility? |
8399 | How shall we give a dinner- party? |
8399 | How shall we lay our hand so tenderly on that sore spot that we may not inflict a fresh wound? |
8399 | How shall we use a fork? |
8399 | How will she be accepted by another lover after having enjoyed the hospitality of the first? |
8399 | However, two new people generally overcome this moment of embarrassment, and then some simple offer of service, such as,"Can I get you a chair?" |
8399 | If he lack the inferior arts of polite behavior, who will take the trouble to discover a Sir Walter Raleigh behind his cravat? |
8399 | If our late brilliant sunsets do not supply enough, how shall we light our summer dinners? |
8399 | In fact, there is one great universal question, What is the etiquette of good society? |
8399 | Is it the dress in which she feels that she ought to meet the gaze of a mixed assemblage in a crowded hotel or in a much frequented thoroughfare? |
8399 | Is it well to write to them at all? |
8399 | Is not sympathy sometimes malice in disguise? |
8399 | Is there not something quite unenlightened in the persistence with which we connect death with gloom? |
8399 | It is not a communistic spirit that asks,"How can I do this thing in a better way?" |
8399 | It should be met by the surprised rejoinder of the Hoosier school- mistress:"Do n''t yer know enough to speak when yer spoken to?" |
8399 | Many of our correspondents ask the embarrassing question,"Who is it proper to invite to a first ball?" |
8399 | Many of our correspondents ask us,"What shall we order for a garden- party?" |
8399 | Many people make a most ostentatious display of plate and china on their sideboards, and if one has pretty things why not show them? |
8399 | Nothing could be simpler than the riding- habit, and yet is there any dress so becoming? |
8399 | Now as to the use of it by the afflicted: why would it not be well for persons who have lost a friend also to have such a card engraved? |
8399 | Now if there is a woman in the world who does not know what to talk about, is it not a very difficult thing to tell her? |
8399 | Now one of our correspondents writes to us,"Who pays for the_ after_-cards?" |
8399 | Now the question comes up, and here doctors disagree: When may a lady call by proxy, or when may she send her card, or when must she call in person? |
8399 | Now where is his dinner party? |
8399 | Now, do you not run great risks when you abandon your homes, and bring out your girls at a hotel?" |
8399 | One can almost as well answer such a question as,"What shall I see out of my eyes?" |
8399 | One correspondent inquires,"Who should be asked to a wedding?" |
8399 | One of our esteemed correspondents asks,"How much soup should be given to each person?" |
8399 | One of the cleverest questions asked lately is,"What shall I talk about at a dinner- party?" |
8399 | Or shall we say, in simple and unpremeditated words, the thoughts which fill our own minds? |
8399 | Our correspondents often ask us when a letter of condolence should be written? |
8399 | Particularly is this true of apartment- houses; and when people live in hotels, who knows whether the card ever reaches its destination? |
8399 | Rousby?" |
8399 | Shall we be pagan, and say that"whom the gods love die young,"or Christian, and remark that"God does not willingly afflict the children of men?" |
8399 | Shall we not be mistaken for those who prowl like jackals round a grave, and will not our motives be misunderstood? |
8399 | Shall we quote ancient philosophers and modern poets? |
8399 | Shall we tell her what she has lost-- how good, how loving, how brave, how admirable was the spirit which has just left the flesh? |
8399 | She will say:"Have the young ladies come in?" |
8399 | Should the father of the bride send him a check? |
8399 | Some Englishman asked an American,"What sort of a country is America?" |
8399 | Some ask:"Shall I send them to the bride, as I do not know her mother?" |
8399 | Some of our correspondents have no good asked us what the best man is doing at this moment? |
8399 | Supposing we take up music, it is far more agreeable to hear a person say,"How do you like Nilsson?" |
8399 | The question is often asked us,"Should invitations be sent to people in mourning?" |
8399 | Then, our querist may ask, Why is the term,"she is a beautiful_ lady_,"so hopelessly out of style? |
8399 | Therefore a mistress will not say"Have the_ girls_ come in?" |
8399 | They"form"on a roadside, and the master of the hunt says,"Ladies and gentlemen, will you hunt?" |
8399 | This seems to trouble some people, who ask,"How will such a person know I am married?" |
8399 | We began all over again; and now there comes up from this newer world a flood of questions: How shall we manage all this? |
8399 | We have been asked by many,"To whom should the answer to an invitation be addressed?" |
8399 | We have been asked, Who shall conduct the single bridesmaid to the altar? |
8399 | What change of dress can there be left for the drawing- room? |
8399 | What is the etiquette of a wedding? |
8399 | What mortal sin has he committed? |
8399 | What shall we say that is not trite and commonplace-- even unfeeling? |
8399 | What so good as an egg salad for a hungry company? |
8399 | Whatever may go wrong, the lady of the house should remain calm; if she is anguished, who can be happy? |
8399 | When should a lady call first upon a new and a desirable acquaintance? |
8399 | When wear a dress- coat? |
8399 | Who does not pity the trembling boy when, on the evening of his first party, he succumbs to this dreadful malady? |
8399 | Who is to repay the bridegroom if_ he_ has paid for the cards? |
8399 | Who was to blame? |
8399 | Who would miss the chance, be it one in ten thousand, of building such a bridge? |
8399 | Why does it betray that the speaker has not lived in a fashionable set? |
8399 | Why not still more when a married pair have weathered the storms of twenty- five years? |
8399 | Why should they not get their more interesting letters that contain invitations? |
8399 | Why should they? |
8399 | or"Where are the women?" |
8399 | sometimes sound like"I am so glad for myself?" |
60484 | Who is that man? |
60484 | Accordingly the question he repeated to me over and over again was:"What is to be the future of Tuskegee?" |
60484 | Another man will have constantly before him the question:"How much can I put into this hour or this day?" |
60484 | Are these two persons in the same condition? |
60484 | Are they equal in capacity? |
60484 | Are you building character? |
60484 | Are you going to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of this opportunity? |
60484 | Are you going to suffer for your own people until they can receive the light which they so much need? |
60484 | Are you less willing to yield to temptation? |
60484 | Are you making these lessons a part of yourself? |
60484 | Are you more able to overcome temptation now than you were? |
60484 | But the question that comes to us with the greatest force is:"Are we going to be worthy of that support? |
60484 | Can we educate a class of young men who will do their duty on the farm as they would do it on this platform? |
60484 | Den why not ebery man?" |
60484 | Did you ever hear that side door creak on its hinges before this morning? |
60484 | Did you ever see such a man as that writing letters to this place and that place applying for work? |
60484 | Did you ever see such a man out of a job? |
60484 | Do you know that one of the most common mistakes among the masses of our people in the country is throwing away their money on cheap jewellery? |
60484 | Do you suppose he would ever have secured any freight to ship? |
60484 | HAVE YOU DONE YOUR BEST? |
60484 | Have you been careful in this respect? |
60484 | Have you been downright honest in that respect, alone? |
60484 | Have you been honest with those who support this institution? |
60484 | Have you been really honest with yourselves and your parents, and with those who spend so much money for the support of this institution? |
60484 | Have you done your best in the sewing room and in the cooking classes? |
60484 | Have you done your best? |
60484 | Have you justified your parents in the sacrifice of time and money which they have made in order to allow you to come here? |
60484 | Have you really been honest with your teachers? |
60484 | Have you really been interested in them? |
60484 | Have you really, in a word, in the preparation and recitation of your lessons, done your level best? |
60484 | Have you shifted this duty, or neglected that duty? |
60484 | Have you thrown some task off on to your room- mates? |
60484 | Have you used it in the dark, as well as in the light? |
60484 | How can we reach the masses who are remote-- I mean remote from educational advantages and from opportunities for encouragement and enlightenment? |
60484 | How is it to be secured? |
60484 | I suppose that during the last few days the questions have come to many of you:"What are we gaining? |
60484 | If we can not turn out a man here who is capable of taking care of a pig sty, how can we expect him to take care of affairs of State? |
60484 | In going into a class- room, office, store or shop, one man may ask himself the question:"How little can I do to- day and still get through the day?" |
60484 | In plain words, then, the problem we must work out here is not:--Can you master algebra, or literature? |
60484 | In the field and in the shop, with the plough, the trowel, the hammer, the saw, have you done your level best? |
60484 | Is the young animal of a week old, although he has all the characteristics that his mother has, as strong as she? |
60484 | Is there not something else I ought to do before I go?" |
60484 | Not only here, but all over the country, our race is going to be called on to answer the question:"What can the race really accomplish?" |
60484 | Now the question arises:--How are you going to put yourself in a condition to be in demand for these higher and more important positions? |
60484 | Now, how are we going to change all these things? |
60484 | Now, when this message was delivered, where was that boy? |
60484 | One pastor will meet another and say,"Good morning, Doctor,"and the other, wishing to be as polite as his friend, will say,"How are you, Doctor?" |
60484 | Right out from your hearts, have you done your best? |
60484 | Shall we be worthy of the confidence of the public?" |
60484 | Shall we prepare ourselves to do something as well as anybody else or better? |
60484 | The general problem we have to work out here, and work it out with fear and trembling, is:--Can we educate the individual conscience? |
60484 | The question that confronts us is whether we will take advantage of this opportunity? |
60484 | Then, after the ceremony, where do these people go to live? |
60484 | There is no better way to test an act than to ask yourself the question:"What would my father or my mother think of this? |
60484 | There is no question, perhaps, which is asked oftener by a person entering upon a career than this-- What will pay? |
60484 | They will be saying,"Johnnie,"or"Jennie, where is it? |
60484 | Think, when you are tempted to do that:"Will it pay?" |
60484 | WHAT IS TO BE OUR FUTURE? |
60484 | WHAT WILL PAY I wish to talk with you for a few minutes upon a subject that is much discussed, especially by young people-- What things pay in life? |
60484 | WHAT WOULD FATHER AND MOTHER SAY? |
60484 | Was he doing as his mother was so earnestly praying him to do? |
60484 | Whar yo''been, poor mourner, whar yo''been so long? |
60484 | What are some of the things that we do want you to learn to do? |
60484 | What can you do for the Conference, and what can the Conference do for you? |
60484 | What evidences can we present to prove to them that their investments in this direction have been paying ones? |
60484 | What is the explanation of"A little child shall lead them?" |
60484 | What is the most original product with which the Negro race stands accredited? |
60484 | What is the result of that kind of schooling? |
60484 | What was behind all this? |
60484 | What will bring about the greatest degree of happiness? |
60484 | What will make my life most useful? |
60484 | What will pay best? |
60484 | What will pay? |
60484 | What will profit me most? |
60484 | What, then, do we mean by education? |
60484 | When you are tempted to do what your conscience tells you is not right, ask yourself:"Will it pay me to do this thing which I know is not right?" |
60484 | Whence comes this supreme power of leadership? |
60484 | Where did you put it the last time you had it?" |
60484 | Who of you did not understand what was said by Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., when he spoke from this platform a few evenings ago? |
60484 | Why are they the admiration of the world? |
60484 | Why do they never fail to touch the tenderest chord-- to bring tears from the eyes of rich and poor-- from king and humblest toiler alike? |
60484 | Why does every attempt at improvement spoil them? |
60484 | Why should we call him"fortunate"or"lucky?" |
60484 | Why? |
60484 | Will it pay me in the world to come?" |
60484 | Will it pay to enter into this business or that business? |
60484 | Will they see to it that everything is properly cleaned and put in its appropriate place? |
60484 | Will this course of action, or that, pay? |
60484 | Would they approve, or should I be ashamed to let them know that I have done this thing?" |
60484 | Yes, I am almost ready to add, with which America stands accredited? |
7952 | And after Sicily? |
7952 | And after you have conquered the world? |
7952 | Are you in earnest? 7952 Break one of them and what do you see?" |
7952 | But must I then die sorrowing? 7952 I have fallen into the hands of thieves,"says Jeremy Taylor;"what then? |
7952 | That which does not make a man worse, how can it make his life worse? 7952 The true, the good, and the beautiful,"says Cousin,"are but forms of the infinite: what then do we really love in truth, beauty, and virtue? |
7952 | Then,asked Cineas,"why can you not take your ease and be merry now?" |
7952 | To sit at home,says Leigh Hunt,"with an old folio(?) |
7952 | We talk,says Helps,"of the origin of evil;... but what is evil? |
7952 | Who has traced,says Cousin,"the plan of this poem? |
7952 | Am I not free? |
7952 | Am I not without fear? |
7952 | Am I not without sorrow? |
7952 | And how do I meet with those whom you are afraid of and admire? |
7952 | And if it were, would friends be any real advantage? |
7952 | And what do I want? |
7952 | And who has guided reason and love? |
7952 | But how can we fill our lives with_ life_, energy, and interest, and yet keep care outside? |
7952 | But if I have been greatly favored, ought I not to be on that very account especially qualified to write on such a theme? |
7952 | But if death is the journey to another place, and there, as men say, all the dead are, what good, O my friends and judges, can be greater than this? |
7952 | But is this so? |
7952 | But ought we not to place before ourselves a very different ideal-- a healthier, manlier, and nobler hope? |
7952 | But ought we so to regard death? |
7952 | But what came of all his victories? |
7952 | But what is glory? |
7952 | But what of the future? |
7952 | But, on the other hand, what gift is there which is without danger? |
7952 | Can I be prevented from going with cheerfulness and contentment? |
7952 | Can we then retrace our steps? |
7952 | Can you then show me in what way you have taken care of it? |
7952 | Did I ever accuse any man? |
7952 | Did I ever blame God or man? |
7952 | Did any of you ever see me with a sorrowful countenance? |
7952 | Do n''t you think that we should all consider it to be a primary duty to learn at least the names and the moves of the pieces? |
7952 | Do not I treat them like slaves? |
7952 | Do you seek a reward greater than that of doing what is good and just? |
7952 | Does it really give that love of learning which is better than learning itself? |
7952 | Does it then seem to you so small and worthless a thing to be good and happy?" |
7952 | Does not this seem natural? |
7952 | For which would you rather have? |
7952 | Has Biology ever professed to explain existence? |
7952 | Hence, we dread ghosts more than robbers, not only without reason, but against reason; for even if ghosts existed, how could they hurt us? |
7952 | How can he think or act for himself? |
7952 | How may we see in them all that is to be seen by the finest senses? |
7952 | How then do we stand now? |
7952 | How then is this great object to be secured? |
7952 | How, then, is this to be paid for? |
7952 | I asked myself, as on previous occasions, How was this colossal work performed? |
7952 | I fancied one of the angels came and asked me,''Well, M. l''Abbé how did you like the beautiful world you have just left?'' |
7952 | If the condemnation is just, it should be welcome as a warning; if it is undeserved, why should we allow it to distress us? |
7952 | In the words of the old Lambeth adage--"What is a merry man? |
7952 | Is it not extraordinary that many men will deliberately take a road which they know is, to say the least, not that of happiness? |
7952 | Is it really so; need it be so? |
7952 | Is the object to produce the same impression on the mind as that created by the scene itself? |
7952 | It is indeed sometimes objected that Landscape painting is not true to nature; but we must ask, What is truth? |
7952 | Man, what are you saying? |
7952 | Many are wearily asking themselves"Ah why Should life all labor be?" |
7952 | Moreover, have we not all, in a better sense-- have we not all thousands of acres of our own? |
7952 | Moreover, to what do Generals and Statesmen owe their fame? |
7952 | Must I then also lament? |
7952 | Must we not all admit, with Sir Henry Taylor, that"the retrospect of life swarms with lost opportunities"? |
7952 | Now that which does not make a man worse, how can it make his life worse?" |
7952 | On the other hand, we must remember how much we have gained in security? |
7952 | Sed quibus? |
7952 | That they prefer to make others miserable, rather than themselves happy? |
7952 | The Canaanitish woman lives more happily without a name than Herodias with one; and who would not rather have been the good thief than Pilate?" |
7952 | The fount of tears is sealed, Who knows how bright the inward light To those closed eyes revealed? |
7952 | There was silence; and I heard a voice saying Shall mortal man be more just than God?" |
7952 | This seems a paradox, yet it there not much truth in his explanation? |
7952 | To lose such Deans as Stanley would indeed be a great misfortune; but does it follow? |
7952 | Well then does Epictetus ask,"Is there no reward? |
7952 | Well, banishment? |
7952 | Well, then, why should we complain of what is but a preparation for future happiness? |
7952 | What are friends, books, or health, the interest of travel or the delights of home, if we have not time for their enjoyment? |
7952 | What does it matter if the pupil know a little more or a little less? |
7952 | What is he that he should resist? |
7952 | What is it to be king, sheikh, tetrarch, or emperor over a''bit of a bit''of this little earth?" |
7952 | What is there?" |
7952 | What more is there we could ask for ourselves? |
7952 | What science brings so much out of so little? |
7952 | What then is the difference? |
7952 | What would not a man give if he might converse with Orpheus, and Musaeus, and Hesiod, and Homer? |
7952 | What would one not give for a Science primer of the next century? |
7952 | What, says Marcus Aurelius,"What is that which is able to conduct a man? |
7952 | When did any of you see me failing in the object of my desire? |
7952 | When we speak of Palestrina or Perugino, of Nelson or Wellington, of Newton or Darwin, who remembers the towns? |
7952 | Wherefore weep?" |
7952 | Who chiselled these mighty and picturesque masses out of a mere protuberance of the earth? |
7952 | Who discovered the art of procuring fire? |
7952 | Who has given it life and charm? |
7952 | Who invented letters? |
7952 | Who saw the dance of the dead clouds when the sunlight left them last night, and the west wind blew them before it like withered leaves? |
7952 | Who saw the narrow sunbeam that came out of the south, and smote upon their summits until they melted and mouldered away in a dust of blue rain? |
7952 | Who would not rather be forgotten, than recollected as Ahab or Jezebel, Nero or Commodus, Messalina or Heliogabalus, King John or Richard III.? |
7952 | Who, when he sees me, does not think that he sees his king and master?" |
7952 | Why should we expect Religion to solve questions with reference to the origin and destiny of the Universe? |
7952 | Why, then, should this be so? |
7952 | Would you have me to bear poverty? |
7952 | Would you have me to bear poverty? |
7952 | Would you have me to possess power? |
7952 | Yes, but what world? |
7952 | Yet consider what it contains; or rather, what does it not contain? |
7952 | Yet in comparison with what possession, of all others, would not a good friend appear far more valuable?" |
7952 | Yet what is the ocean compared to the sky? |
7952 | [ 10] And yet"if, in our moments of utter idleness and insipidity, we turn to the sky as a last resource, which of its phenomena do we speak of? |
7952 | [ 7] The future of man is full of hope, and who can foresee the limits of his destiny? |
7952 | can we recover what is lost? |
7952 | or ever falling into that which I would avoid? |
7952 | where is thy sting? |
7952 | where is thy victory?" |
455 | Are ye able to drink of the cup? |
455 | Can I get the lecture in book form? |
455 | How long have you worked here? |
455 | I born in this city? 455 Is he a human being?" |
455 | Is n''t it good to be here? 455 Is not she the limit?" |
455 | Is not this Babylon that I have builded? |
455 | Is not this the carpenter''s son? |
455 | Kind sir, why are they throwing that red mud out of that hole? |

455 | Almost every day as I go along the street to some hall to lecture, I hear somebody asking,"What are they going to have in the hall tonight?" |
455 | And I would hear them say,"Elder Berry, may we help you to another piece of the chicken?" |

455 | Did you ever see jelly tremble? |
455 | Did you ever sit alone with a picture of your classmates taken twenty- one years before? |
455 | Did you ever study the walk of a blind man? |
455 | Did you get that? |

455 | Getting"Selected"Why go farther? |
455 | Going out of the building, I asked the foreman,"Do you see that man over there at the supercalendered machine?" |

455 | Is n''t it great to have friends and a fine home and money?" |
455 | Is there a groceryman in the audience? |
455 | It is the place where gravity says,"Little Mississippi, do you want to grow? |

455 | To wear strings? |
455 | Twenty- one years afterward as I got off the train in the home town, I asked,"Where is he?" |
455 | Were you ever bumped so hard you were numb? |
455 | Were you ever selected? |
455 | What is knowing? |
455 | What is that man talking about? |

455 | What is the name of this little creek?" |

455 | What right has that woman to meddle into my affairs all the time? |
455 | What shall we do? |
455 | What will they do with them when they get them there? |
455 | What would you have said? |
455 | When an employee would come into the office and say,"Is n''t it about time I was getting a raise?" |
455 | When they get up to Moses''desk, the great prophet says,"Boys, what is it? |
455 | When we become materially very prosperous, so many of us begin to say,"Is not this Babylon that I have builded?" |
455 | When you hear the orator speak and you note the ease and power of his work, do you think of the years of struggle he spent in preparing? |

455 | Will you read the lesson of the Needful Knocks? |
455 | You do n''t believe that? |
455 | You going to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land? |
455 | You know what gray hairs are? |
455 | and get it?" |
455 | what is this we hear? |
46129 | And first, how shall we define conduct? |
46129 | And how, in the absence of definition, can Geometry deal with it? |
46129 | And if we can not define the irregular line itself, how can we know its"spatial relations"definite? |
46129 | And what trait leads us to speak of a bad umbrella or a bad pair of boots? |
46129 | Approaching as we here do to moral obligation, are we not shown its relations to conduct at large? |
46129 | Are the virtues classed as such because of some intrinsic community of nature? |
46129 | Are they modes of thinking and feeling naturally caused in men by experience of these conditions? |
46129 | Are they supernaturally caused modes of thinking and feeling, tending to make men fulfill the conditions to happiness? |
46129 | But now, have these irreconcilable opinions anything in common? |
46129 | But what in such case constitutes the happiness of others? |
46129 | Does B conceive the impartial spectator as awarding to him, B, the product of A''s labor? |
46129 | Does B, in conceiving the impartial spectator, exclude his own interests as completely as A does? |
46129 | Does any one accept this inference? |
46129 | Does he diverge from established theological dogma? |
46129 | Does he think spiritualistic interpretations of phenomena not valid? |
46129 | Does it leave the possessor at the zero point of sentiency? |
46129 | Does it not leave him at the zero point? |
46129 | Does not the family precede the State; and does not the welfare of the State depend on the welfare of the family? |
46129 | Does the proposition that it is my pecuniary interest to choose the most valuable, therefore, become doubtful? |
46129 | Does this mean that, in respect of whatever is proportioned out, each is to have the same share whatever his character, whatever his conduct? |
46129 | Hence, to yield up normal pleasures is to yield up so much life; and there arises the question-- To what extent may this be done? |
46129 | How can Unconditioned Being be subject to conditions beyond itself? |
46129 | How does mechanical science evolve from these experiences? |
46129 | How far may it rightly be carried? |
46129 | How far shall a person who has misbehaved be grieved by showing aversion to him? |
46129 | How shall be determined the degree of transgression beyond which to discharge is less wrong than not to discharge? |
46129 | How shall we so conduct the discussion as most clearly to bring out this necessity for a compromise? |
46129 | If I go to the waterfall, shall I go over the moor or take the path through the wood? |
46129 | In which cases do we distinguish as good, a knife, a gun, a house? |
46129 | Is his mental state pleasurable? |
46129 | Is it admitted? |
46129 | Is it denied that acts classed as good and bad differ in their effect? |
46129 | Is it in dwellings? |
46129 | Is it in nutrition? |
46129 | Is it in warmth? |
46129 | Is it not clear that observance of moral principles is fulfillment of certain general conditions to the successful carrying on of special activities? |
46129 | Is it right to annoy by condemning a prejudice which another displays? |
46129 | Is not his duty to his children even more peremptory? |
46129 | Is the state indifferent or painful? |
46129 | Is there any postulate involved in these judgments on conduct? |
46129 | Is there any unfair treatment of sundry others, involved by more than fair treatment of this one other? |
46129 | Let us next ask what is the something to be distributed? |
46129 | May it not be true that, conversely, general happiness is to be obtained by furthering self- happiness? |
46129 | Must I not choose as well as I can, and if I choose wrongly must I give up my ground of choice? |
46129 | Must it then follow that eventually, with this diminution of the spheres for it, altruism must diminish in total amount? |
46129 | Now suppose some additional influence which makes the process beneficial; what must it be? |
46129 | On the one hand, is it not wrong forthwith to bring on himself, his family, and those who have business relations with him, the evils of his failure? |
46129 | One further question has to be answered-- How does there arise the feeling of moral obligation in general? |
46129 | Page 200: Missing closing quotation mark added after''a means of happiness?''. |
46129 | Shall I walk to the waterfall to- day? |
46129 | Shall he ask a friend for a loan? |
46129 | Shall he if criminal have as much as if virtuous? |
46129 | Shall he if passive have as much as if active? |
46129 | Shall he if useless have as much as if useful? |
46129 | Shall one whose action is to be reprobated have the reprobation expressed to him or shall nothing be said? |
46129 | Shall the interpretation be that the concrete means to happiness are to be equally divided? |
46129 | Shall we take the pessimist view? |
46129 | Should we not contrariwise class them as blameworthy? |
46129 | Surely anything distinguished as definite admits of being defined; but how can we define an irregular line? |
46129 | The loan would probably tide him over his difficulty, in which case would it not be unjust to his creditors did he refrain from asking it? |
46129 | There may in every case be put the questions-- Does the action tend to maintenance of complete life for the time being? |
46129 | To what ends may it be legitimately exercised? |
46129 | Treating of legislative aims, Bentham writes:"But justice, what is it that we are to understand by justice: and why not happiness but justice? |
46129 | Up to what limit may help be given to the existing generation of the inferior, without entailing mischief on future generations of the superior? |
46129 | What bearing have these general inferences on the special question before us? |
46129 | What comes of this entirely unegoistic course? |
46129 | What form is the compromise between egoism and altruism to assume? |
46129 | What is it in respect of which everybody is to count for one and nobody for more than one? |
46129 | What is the ethical warrant for governmental authority? |
46129 | What is the implication? |
46129 | What is to be inferred? |
46129 | What meaning does he here give to the word"definite?" |
46129 | What must be the accompanying evolution of conduct? |
46129 | What must result from this when men''s efforts are joined? |
46129 | What must the relations between egoism and altruism become as this form of nature is neared? |
46129 | What now is the trait possessed in common by Magnificence and Meekness? |
46129 | What now shall we say of one who is, for the time being, blessed in performing an act of mercy? |
46129 | What shape, then, must the mutual restraints take when co- operation begins? |
46129 | What should we say to these acts which now fall into the class we call praiseworthy? |
46129 | What spheres, then, will eventually remain for altruism as it is commonly conceived? |
46129 | What will happen? |
46129 | What will he decide?--what would the spectator direct? |
46129 | Whence then does the pleasure of making it arise? |
46129 | Where, then, is the pleasure to begin? |
46129 | Who shall say where this point is? |
46129 | Why do I here make these reflections on what seems an irrelevant subject? |
46129 | and does it tend to prolongation of life to its full extent? |
46129 | and if any such common trait can be disentangled, is it that which also constitutes the essential trait in Truthfulness? |
46129 | how are their respective claims to be satisfied in due degrees? |
46129 | or shall I ramble along the sea- shore? |
46129 | or shall we take the optimist view? |
46129 | or shall we, after weighing pessimistic and optimistic arguments, conclude that the balance is in favor of a qualified optimism? |
8103 | The true question of this argument is no other than this: May every man who chooses to destroy his life, innocently do so? 8103 Who resisteth His will?" |
8103 | 17- 21), did she do right in speaking thus to save their lives? |
8103 | Again, is the polyandrous wife to be, or not to be, the head of the family? |
8103 | Again, ought not the State to accept his offer? |
8103 | Again, ought not the State to agree? |
8103 | And then? |
8103 | And what is the result of these long investigations? |
8103 | And why? |
8103 | Apart from the hope of the world to come, is the Italy of to- day happier than the Italy of Antoninus Pius? |
8103 | Are we not taught to set bounds to our desire? |
8103 | Assassination of tyrants, whether in public or private life, may be wickedness, or it may be a laudable outburst of public spirit, who knows? |
8103 | But attained by man? |
8103 | But how can a man, who takes pleasure to be his highest good and happiness, live otherwise than for himself? |
8103 | But how can it be aught else than speech against the mind, when the heart thinks_ yea_, and the tongue says_ nay_? |
8103 | But if a man only feeds the hungry that he may have the satisfaction of seeing them eat, is it the hungry or himself that he finally seeks to gratify? |
8103 | But if it is meant that every man has a right to live on the fruits of some soil or land of his own, where is the proof? |
8103 | But if it is never to be satisfied, what is it? |
8103 | But if it is no one individual''s duty to propagate his kind, how is it that we have laid down that there is such a duty? |
8103 | But is it not immoral to interfere with conscience, and to attempt to stifle sincere convictions? |
8103 | But is not every capital sentence a trespass upon the dominion of God, Lord of life and death? |
8103 | But is not this desire of unmixed happiness unreasonable? |
8103 | But may not one with no prudence to guide him hit upon the_ golden mean_ by some happy impulse, and thus do an act of virtue? |
8103 | But supposing that pure democracy is coming, how long is it likely to last? |
8103 | But what if his wife and children have perished, and you meant them so to perish, in the fire? |
8103 | But what of a man who has entirely broken away from God, what of his eating, drinking, and other actions that are of their kind indifferent? |
8103 | But what of him who closed his career in wickedness exceeding great? |
8103 | But when was a work of the highest art based upon an idea unsound, irrational and vicious?] |
8103 | But when will such constraint become necessary? |
8103 | But who is the owner at any given time, and at what stage of the transaction does the dominion pass? |
8103 | But why is not this qualification spoken out with the tongue? |
8103 | But, it will be said, does not a man forego his right to reputation by doing the evil that belies his fair fame? |
8103 | Can subjects overthrow the ruler, or alter the polity itself, as often as they have a mind so to do? |
8103 | Certainly, it will be said, the employer should be paid for his mental labour, but why at so enormously higher a rate than the manual labourers? |
8103 | Did not the first heralds of Christianity trouble the peace of the Roman world?" |
8103 | Do the mere consequences make this otherwise innocent amusement evil? |
8103 | Does this physical ability represent also a_ moral power_? |
8103 | For, shall we say that we are then at liberty to commit suicide, when we find our continuance in life becomes useless to mankind? |
8103 | Has Aristotle, then, said the last word on happiness? |
8103 | Have we duties of charity to the lower animals? |
8103 | He seems to act for mere pleasure: yet who shall be stern enough to condemn him, so that he exceed not in quantity? |
8103 | He would croon softly as he went about the house old Hell''s words:"Not so, my sons, not so: why do ye these kind of things, very wicked things?" |
8103 | How is it possible to divert such a one from his course by argument? |
8103 | How then am I_ obliged_ to obey man''s law? |
8103 | How then does the probabilist contrive to extract certainty out of a case of insoluble doubt? |
8103 | If a person goes on to ask,"Well, what if I do contradict my rational self?" |
8103 | If all our secret and personal offences are liable to be made public by any observer, which of us shall abide it? |
8103 | If any revolutionist yet will have the hardihood to say with Proudhon,"Property is theft,"we shall ask him,"From whom?" |
8103 | If he chooses to contradict his rational self, is not that his own affair? |
8103 | If therefore man is his own master, in the sense that no one else can claim dominion over him, may he not accordingly destroy himself? |
8103 | Is a man to be tried for his life? |
8103 | Is a tax to be levied on ardent spirits? |
8103 | Is he not his own master, and may he not play the fool if he likes? |
8103 | Is not moderation a virtue, and contentment wisdom? |
8103 | Is perfect happiness out of the reach of the person whom in this mortal life we call man? |
8103 | Is that God? |
8103 | Is the agent justified in exercising it? |
8103 | Is then the idea of vengeance nothing but an unclean phantom? |
8103 | Is there a call to arms? |
8103 | Is there no such thing as vengeance to a right- minded man? |
8103 | Is there one subjective last end to all the human acts of a given individual? |
8103 | Is there one supreme motive for all that this or that man deliberately does? |
8103 | It comes to this: May the civil power be resisted when it does grievous wrong? |
8103 | Let us begin our reply with another question: May children strike their parents? |
8103 | Not even in self- defence? |
8103 | Now what is a_ serious_ doubt? |
8103 | Now, who is the offended party in any evil deed? |
8103 | Or would the government insist on purchasing the improvements, and look out for a new tenant paying a higher rent? |
8103 | So long as the fruits of the earth do not fail to reach a man''s mouth, what matters it whose earth it is that grows them? |
8103 | Suppose a trangressor has suffered accordingly for a certain time after death, what shall be done with him in the end? |
8103 | Take the_ easy_ course, and leave the obligation out of count? |
8103 | Take the_ safe_ course: suppose there is an obligation, and act accordingly? |
8103 | The astonished workman turns round upon the exhibitors of this fairy vision:"And pray who are You?" |
8103 | The human mind lighting upon good soon asks the question, Will this last? |
8103 | The person spoken to might reply:"But what if I do miss my train, and fail in my examination?" |
8103 | The question resolves itself into three:--how do sins differ in point of gravity? |
8103 | Then suppose he said, Give it me for ever and I will pay £ 30 a year? |
8103 | Then you ask: When have I made this large contract by the most voluntary act in the world? |
8103 | There is little use in the enquiry, Which is the best polity? |
8103 | Was not that material, iron- ore,"created by God,"equally with any other portion of the earth''s crust that we may please to call_ land_?] |
8103 | What certificated stranger can supply for a mother''s love? |
8103 | What is the man to do? |
8103 | What is to become of such obstinate characters? |
8103 | What then is conscience? |
8103 | What would be the use, then, of any such withdrawal? |
8103 | Which of us is sure that all property is not theft? |
8103 | Why should not a voluntary death be sought as an escape from temptation and from imminent sin? |
8103 | Why should not the first victims of a dire contagion acquiesce in being slaughtered like cattle? |
8103 | Why should not the solitary invalid destroy himself, he whose life has become a hopeless torture, and whose death none would mourn? |
8103 | You ask: Is there not hope, that if humanity goes on improving as it has done, capital punishment will become wholly unnecessary? |
8103 | and above all, whose is it? |
8103 | and are his fellows under a moral obligation of justice to leave him free to exercise it? |
8103 | and what is it for? |
8103 | is grave sin ever forgiven? |
8103 | or has the ruler a right to his position even against the will of his people? |
8103 | when the parent is going about to do the child some grievous bodily hurt? |
8932 | ''Tis true, his nature may with faults abound; But who will cavil when the heart is sound? |
8932 | Can sackcloth clothe a fault or hide a shame? 8932 Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased; Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow; Raze out the written troubles of the brain?" |
8932 | If God so clothe the grass which to- day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven,then what, Mr. Emerson? |
8932 | Say, what is honor? 8932 Ye shall know them by their fruits: Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" |
8932 | All this is very unpleasant for New Bedford; but are we to have no more oil? |
8932 | Are the facts as they are represented to be? |
8932 | Are they Christian men? |
8932 | Are they men of charity? |
8932 | Are they men whom we love? |
8932 | Are we who sing and shout mere brawlers, who get a little strength of lungs by the exercise? |
8932 | Around this idea the poets have woven their noblest songs; but again we ask what are the facts? |
8932 | But if bigotry be such a bar to the correct perception of truth, what shall be said of self- interest and personal vices of appetite and passion? |
8932 | But suppose literary culture be the central force of this society-- has the aspirant any fitness for, or sympathy with it? |
8932 | But what has this fact to do with the matter of right in the premises? |
8932 | But who gave man the right to set up his needs as the law of woman''s life? |
8932 | Can he meet those who form this society as an equal, or mingle in it as a thoroughly sympathetic element? |
8932 | Can it be because He wishes by means of it to produce some desired effect in us? |
8932 | Denouncers of bigotry, are they not the most fiercely bigoted of any men we know? |
8932 | Did I sigh? |
8932 | Did I sigh?" |
8932 | Did you ever try? |
8932 | Do we feel attracted to their society? |
8932 | Does a severe and constant tax upon the muscular system repress mental development, and tend to make life hard and homely and unattractive? |
8932 | Does he dress expensively, and is he able to give costly entertainments? |
8932 | Easier to preach than practise? |
8932 | Easy to preach, you say? |
8932 | Every thing in their life is brought down to the animal basis, and why should it not be? |
8932 | From how many exhibitions of stern and unrelenting injustice have these children suffered? |
8932 | Had it not faded to little more than the repetition of old inanities, traditional mannerisms, stereotyped lies? |
8932 | Had not art become superstitious and infidel and missionless? |
8932 | Has he a fine house and an elegant turnout? |
8932 | Has it not criticized half- finished work, and condemned, not only the work, but Christianity itself, because this work was not up to the sample? |
8932 | Has she not been made unfit for her place by the influences of the public school? |
8932 | Have not her comfort and her happiness been spoiled by those influences? |
8932 | Have you ever systematically tried to do this? |
8932 | He is a cripple for life; yet his face is as bright and cheerful as the face of the morning itself; and what do you think he is singing? |
8932 | How broad are his sympathies? |
8932 | How large a man is this? |
8932 | How long would he be worth any thing for labor? |
8932 | How much unreasonable restraint has been exercised upon those children? |
8932 | How wide is his knowledge? |
8932 | If all women should prefer hoeing cabbages to spinning flax, or any variety of yarn, who shall hinder them? |
8932 | If he-- the peerless, the prince-- could fall, and forsake, and forget, who would not? |
8932 | If it were fashionable for woman to sing bass, how long would it be before the lower tones would find full development? |
8932 | If she prefers hoeing cabbages to spinning flax, who shall hinder her? |
8932 | If such men fall, where are we to look for those who will not? |
8932 | If the temporary diversion of the nervous energy from the brain have this effect, what must a permanent diversion accomplish? |
8932 | Is he prepared to unite, on a plane of perfect equality, with those who give the law to this society? |
8932 | Is her reluctant service of any value to those who pay her the wages of her labor? |
8932 | Is it because that among the American girls there are none of poverty, and of humble powers? |
8932 | Is it because they are not wanted? |
8932 | Is it not notorious that a minister who has fed exclusively upon religion is a man without power upon the hearts and minds of men? |
8932 | Is it your regular aim, after you have discharged the business of the day, to throw off care until the next day''s business is undertaken? |
8932 | Is nature failing? |
8932 | Is not invective the chosen and accustomed language of their lips? |
8932 | Is the philosophy sound? |
8932 | Is there no hearing of this praise in Heaven? |
8932 | Is this the kind of life generally which the American farmer leads? |
8932 | Methinks thou hast a singular way of showing Thy happiness-- what ails thee, cousin of mine? |
8932 | Must the human soul lack food-- fresh food-- because a generation long gone has decided that only certain food is fit for the human soul? |
8932 | Needed by man? |
8932 | Needed by whom? |
8932 | No? |
8932 | Now I ask what kind of a spirit she can carry into her service, except that of surly and impudent discontent? |
8932 | Now why should God want praise of us? |
8932 | Or do thy hands make Heaven a recompense, By strewing dust upon thy briny face? |
8932 | Or is it because they have become unfitted for such services as these, and feel above them? |
8932 | Preachers of love and good will to men, do they not use more forcibly than any other class the power of words to wound and poison human sensibilities? |
8932 | Reader, did you ever drive a horse that had the mean habit of shying? |
8932 | Should I ever be willing to let another man into my heart? |
8932 | Should I not be humiliated? |
8932 | Should I not feel disgraced? |
8932 | Teachers of toleration, are they not the most intolerant of all men living? |
8932 | That''s your Christianity, is it?" |
8932 | The question comes to us:"What is there in our present life to repay us for this loss?" |
8932 | The truth of the statement is admitted, but what do you know of the home life of that family? |
8932 | Then how do you know whether it is easy or not? |
8932 | This is a very splendid sort of a ballot- box, and he is a very fine sort of an American who sings about it; but what are the facts? |
8932 | Was there not need of him? |
8932 | What cares he for birds, unless they pull up his corn? |
8932 | What cares he for skies, unless he can make use of them for drying his hay, or wetting down his potatoes? |
8932 | What heart of man Is proof against thy sweet seducing charms?" |
8932 | What laxity of discipline and carelessness of culture have reigned in that family? |
8932 | What relation does he bear to the great world of ideas among which this is only one, and very likely a comparatively unimportant one? |
8932 | Which is the better and the more truthful Indian-- that of the poet, or he who drank the rum of our fathers and then scalped them? |
8932 | Who has not sighed, as he has seen how easily the simple wants of certain simple natures are supplied? |
8932 | Who would not deem the ermine degraded by a chief justice who should be constantly twitching about upon his bench? |
8932 | Why can death alone teach us that those whom we love are dear? |
8932 | Why didst thou sigh so deeply? |
8932 | Why do not men trust in Providence? |
8932 | Why is it that no more have left a name behind them? |
8932 | Why is this? |
8932 | Why must they be placed forever beyond our sight before our lips can be unsealed? |
8932 | Why was this harsh judgment uttered? |
8932 | Why was this? |
8932 | Why? |
8932 | Will the time come when people must sit in darkness? |
8932 | Would he feel happy and at home in a literary atmosphere? |
8932 | You fail to do it, and what is the natural conclusion? |
8932 | must one swear to the truth of a song?" |
6101 | I have no coat? 6101 Is the object deserving?" |
6101 | Lord, when saw we thee an hungered and fed thee, or thirsty and gave thee drink? 6101 Abolish it for what? 6101 Am I niggardly in thus confining the action of each of us within his own body? 6101 And can we ever arrive? 6101 And if not, must not the formula of self- realization accept modification? 6101 And if this is true of all personal action within our experience, what right have we to set a limit to it anywhere? 6101 And of what qualities of the day were we thinking? 6101 And shall I want to see them? 6101 And why not? 6101 And will this process ever come to an end? 6101 Are all the functions here represented equally influential in forming the organism? 6101 Are they in fact altogether separate? 6101 Are they the most self- conscious? 6101 As I walk to my lecture- room somebody stops me and says,What is the way to Berkeley Street?" |
6101 | But at what point shall we cut the process short? |
6101 | But can I bring my finger down upon it at just the right angle? |
6101 | But how does self- sacrifice accord with self- development? |
6101 | But if in human beings consciousness appears, what are its marks, and how is it known? |
6101 | But must we, in deference to the temper of our time, eliminate conscious guidance altogether? |
6101 | But should I be willing to be so much beholden to him, and would not the wind to- day make our walk and talk difficult? |
6101 | But taking merely the letter, how minutely are we conscious of its curvatures? |
6101 | But who would feel comfortable under such eulogy? |
6101 | But why select its name from the subordinate part? |
6101 | But why? |
6101 | By taking this path, rich in a certain sort of good as it undoubtedly is, shall I be diverted from paths where my special goods lie? |
6101 | Can we not pick up a pin without going through all six stages? |
6101 | Did I have in mind the picture of myself as a learned man? |
6101 | Do you count your miserable little life worth more than that of this great army?" |
6101 | Does any such closed circle exist? |
6101 | Does she feel herself, or does she feel warm? |
6101 | For how can one consciously exert himself to be unconscious and try not to try? |
6101 | For how can there be largeness of organization where there is little to organize? |
6101 | Goethe''s rule is a good one:--"Willst du ins Unendliebe schreiten? |
6101 | Good? |
6101 | Good?" |
6101 | Had I possessed such skill, would I have ventured my life in such a fashion? |
6101 | Have I not made matters needlessly elaborate? |
6101 | Have we not, then, by explaining the rationality of self- sacrifice, explained away the whole matter and practically identified it with self- culture? |
6101 | Have you not a more important obligation to your book?" |
6101 | He coupled the two words_ good_ and_ big_; and I asked myself if there was between them any natural connection? |
6101 | His phrase could not indicate approval, and what did it signify? |
6101 | How can I build if at present there is no I? |
6101 | How can it be? |
6101 | How can you know anything about walls of a room unless you also know of much beyond them?" |
6101 | How do we pass from a mental picture to a set of motions in the physical world? |
6101 | How do we proceed? |
6101 | How does a"mental motion"come out of a bodily motion, or a bodily from a mental? |
6101 | How far can the self be developed? |
6101 | How far from his fellow men? |
6101 | How far is he detachable from nature? |
6101 | How far will it help me to accept and develop those limitations to which I am now pledged? |
6101 | How give the correct slant to what is above or below the line? |
6101 | How grow conscious of the unconscious? |
6101 | How is the transmutation accomplished? |
6101 | How long would this require, and how should the letter be planned? |
6101 | How many such distinguishing differences exist? |
6101 | How much, then, do you know?" |
6101 | How shall I hold my pen in the best possible manner? |
6101 | How shape this letter so that each of its curves gets its exact bulge? |
6101 | How widely is effort exercised? |
6101 | How, then, can I disinterestedly prefer another''s gain? |
6101 | How, then, is rational contrasted with irrational guidance? |
6101 | I believe they mean,"Will the man meet his notes?" |
6101 | I have little money? |
6101 | I have no dinner? |
6101 | I said,"Is that your duty? |
6101 | I sometimes hear the question asked about a merchant,"Is he good?" |
6101 | I think it is you who are going there, and why are you putting me to inconvenience merely that you may the more easily find your way?" |
6101 | I went up to him and said,"Did you catch that horse?" |
6101 | III How then do we employ the word"good"? |
6101 | If anybody should ask,"How did you write the letter_ s?_"we should be obliged to look on the paper to see. |
6101 | If telling the truth is a spiritual excellence and the result of effort, why should it not be praised? |
6101 | Infinitely? |
6101 | Is each one of us an infinite being? |
6101 | Is it not largely because we are so hard pressed under the anxious conditions of modern life that music becomes such an enormous solace and strength? |
6101 | Is not this, then, the great conception of change which we now need to study as self- development? |
6101 | Is the extrinsic goodness of an object entirely detachable from its intrinsic? |
6101 | Is the range of volition thus marked out too narrow? |
6101 | Is there not a kind of conflict between the two? |
6101 | Is there, I asked, any place where at least a portion of my stupidity may be set aside? |
6101 | Is unrelated singleness possible among our mental pictures? |
6101 | It is this: Are all functions of the same kind, rank, or grade? |
6101 | May not the disparagement of recent ages have arisen in reaction against attempts to push conscious guidance into regions where it is unsuitable? |
6101 | Or how narrowly must the field of attention be occupied before these strange springs are set in motion? |
6101 | Or what is the use of organization except as a mode of furnishing the smoothest and most compact expression to powers? |
6101 | Ought we not to define it at starting? |
6101 | People do not honor me as they honor others? |
6101 | Shall I by adding a fresh power to myself strengthen those I already possess? |
6101 | Shall we call my conduct unconscious cerebration? |
6101 | Shall we call this fact discouraging, then, or even say that self- development is a useless process, since it never can be fulfilled? |
6101 | Should I stay that merchant from his exit by remarks of this kind? |
6101 | Should we ever do anything, if to do even the simplest we were obliged to do six things? |
6101 | Since I desire to take all knowledge for my province, why not hurry off at once to study astronomy? |
6101 | That is precisely what we should like to be, but how? |
6101 | That must be my test: not how important is the study itself, but how important is it for me? |
6101 | The next I knew a voice was calling,"Is that you?" |
6101 | The problem always is, What may I suitably regard as mine? |
6101 | There when the question is asked,"Has the baby been good?" |
6101 | They put the case thus:--"The centipede was happy, quite, Until the toad for fun Said,''Pray which leg comes after which?'' |
6101 | V Have we not, then, here reached the highest point of personal life, self- consciousness? |
6101 | VIII But if all this is true, why should praise be sweet? |
6101 | Was this legitimate? |
6101 | We say,"The cat feels herself warm;"but is it quite so? |
6101 | We should ask, what for? |
6101 | What had been happening? |
6101 | What is meant by fixing the attention exclusively? |
6101 | What is that little mark? |
6101 | What is the bridge connecting the two? |
6101 | What is the state? |
6101 | What should a man accept in exchange for his life? |
6101 | What would existence be worth outside the total inter- relationship of human beings called his land? |
6101 | What would society be, parted from the individuals who compose it? |
6101 | What, for example, do we mean by love? |
6101 | When at any time I seek to perfect myself, does my attainment of any grade of improvement prevent or further another step? |
6101 | When is conduct praiseworthy? |
6101 | When is it a good knife? |
6101 | When may we fairly claim honor from our fellows and ourselves? |
6101 | When persons decay and die, may not their destruction be only in outward seeming? |
6101 | When saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee?" |
6101 | When we read a word on the printed page, how much of it do we consciously observe? |
6101 | Which? |
6101 | Who and what is a person? |
6101 | Who are the people most prized? |
6101 | Why should I build if at present there is an I? |
6101 | Why turn to the front its incidental negations? |
6101 | Why voluntarily accept loss? |
6101 | Why_ should_ a man sacrifice himself? |
6101 | Will he who is busy cultivating himself sacrifice himself? |
6101 | Would it not be juster to say that perfection can always be attained, and that it is about the only thing which can be? |
6101 | Would you reach the infinite? |
6101 | Yet can we abandon either? |
6101 | Yet how can we become acquainted with it? |
6101 | Yet how early that reference to a third person begins to be saturated with self- consciousness, who can say? |
6101 | Yet, turn to a man of this type and try to call his attention to the privations he endures, and what will be his answer? |
6101 | he would simply ask,"What fresh opportunities do these strange circumstances present for enlarged living? |
6101 | we must ask,"or shall I reserve myself for greater need?" |
17110 | A storm at sea,he answers, and continues,"And what is grander than a storm at sea?" |
17110 | And what is grander than these midnight skies? |
17110 | And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother''s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 17110 And why,"said Bismarck;"why do they want me to speak; why are they applauding me?" |
17110 | Because my competitors have college education and I have not,do you answer? |
17110 | Because the other fellows have friends and influence and I have none,do you protest? |
17110 | But what shall I do now, General? |
17110 | Friends through duty or comradery? |
17110 | How does---- get along with his father? |
17110 | How have I succeeded? |
17110 | How is Mr.----, of----, in your state? 17110 I fail to see the statesmanship,"said the latter;"will you kindly point it out?" |
17110 | Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 17110 Second, Yes or no, do you believe that Christ was the son of the living God, sent by Him to save the world? |
17110 | Third, Do you believe that when you die you will live again as a conscious intelligence, knowing who you are and who other people are? |
17110 | What do you raise on these shaly hills? |
17110 | What have you been doing? |
17110 | What is the grandest thing in the universe? |
17110 | What is the story of your past? |
17110 | What''s this? 17110 Who, by taking thought, can add a cubit to his stature?" |
17110 | Why have you come among us at your age? |
17110 | Why, how old was he? |
17110 | Absurd, is it not? |
17110 | After all, we are living for happiness, are we not? |
17110 | After all, what is the purpose and end of all your labor? |
17110 | Again the Bible:"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? |
17110 | Also, it would enable him to live at home with mother, would it not? |
17110 | Among them he said:"And Mr.----, of your state; how is his health? |
17110 | And French? |
17110 | And can we doubt that to- morrow''s national and world problems will be deeper still? |
17110 | And did not the Master, with a wisdom wholly divine, choose as the seed- bearers of our faith throughout the world the neglected men? |
17110 | And do we not here perceive, afar off, one of the vast and glorious tasks for the statesmen of the future? |
17110 | And his words have good sense in them, have they not? |
17110 | And how can you better benefit mankind than by founding a home among your fellow men, a pure, normal, sweet, and beautiful home? |
17110 | And if you are not ready for them, if you are only a rich person or a mere stroller along the highways of life, what is that to them? |
17110 | And it is that you may serve it well that you are going to college at all, is it not? |
17110 | And that is the chief thing, is it not? |
17110 | And that ought to be pleasant to any male creature-- what more can he want? |
17110 | And that will be some years yet, will it not? |
17110 | And we can not change the nature and relations of things now; for"which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature"? |
17110 | And what finer happiness can there be than the certainty that such a life as that will make realities of your dreams? |
17110 | And what greater help than that could there be? |
17110 | And why are you speaking at all, unless it is that you, knowing the truth, are trying to show the truth to others? |
17110 | And why should she assume his labor? |
17110 | And yet, is it not written that"the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life"? |
17110 | And, if so, do you dare to be less than a lawyer? |
17110 | Are they angry? |
17110 | As to whether tobacco is good for a man at any stage of life the doctors disagree, and"where doctors disagree, who shall decide?" |
17110 | But did he give it to himself? |
17110 | But does not that include righteousness in the affairs of our popular government? |
17110 | But have you not chosen the profession of the law? |
17110 | But then_ you_ are a lawyer, are you not? |
17110 | But what has all this to do with the truth? |
17110 | But what of counseling the world respecting the young man? |
17110 | But what of that? |
17110 | But what was a soldier of France in Napoleon''s time to a young American to- day? |
17110 | But why did he want this position? |
17110 | But why the interest of the would- be lawyer, who was"quivering"with ambition? |
17110 | But you who read-- you are willing to put forth extraordinary effort, are you not? |
17110 | By faith? |
17110 | By repentance? |
17110 | Can you not find them in your own town? |
17110 | Christ came to save sinners, but how? |
17110 | Cæsar decided to cross the Rubicon on the instant? |
17110 | Delighted? |
17110 | Did I not make mistakes following such a plan? |
17110 | Did he not even scourge the money- changers from the Temple? |
17110 | Did this dismay the young German- American? |
17110 | Do n''t argue; do n''t explain; but is your mind in a condition where you can answer yes or no?" |
17110 | Do we not find in our daily speech a certain cynicism toward youth? |
17110 | Do you think that is a good training for our generals and admirals? |
17110 | Does it not involve uprightness in public life? |
17110 | Does not our skeptic wisdom paste the label"illusions"over the word"ideals"written on the young man''s brow? |
17110 | Does this comparison not make it clear that woman has by far a more exalted mission than man? |
17110 | Every man would like to have a picture of"the house he was born in"; but who would choose a hotel for a birthplace? |
17110 | Fame? |
17110 | For you want to succeed, do you not? |
17110 | Go back to old conditions?" |
17110 | How could it help prospering? |
17110 | How could such apostles of interrogation convert a world? |
17110 | How could such priests of ice warm the souls of men? |
17110 | How dare you not shoulder your glorious burden with patience, fortitude, and determination? |
17110 | How did that question run? |
17110 | How do you expect to make other people sure of themselves if you are not sure of yourself? |
17110 | How does this young fellow happen to swear? |
17110 | How is it that all these people do not achieve the successes to which their mere thinking entitles them? |
17110 | II THE OLD HOME Do we not pay so much attention to mere material success that we exclude from mind and heart other things more precious? |
17110 | III THE COLLEGE? |
17110 | INDIANAPOLIS,_ May 1, 1905._ CONTENTS PAGE I.--THE YOUNG MAN AND THE WORLD 1 II.--THE OLD HOME 54 III.--THE COLLEGE? |
17110 | If not, why not? |
17110 | If to be a Roman then was greater than to be a king, what is it to be an American now? |
17110 | If you are discouraged because you can not go to college, what will happen to you when life hereafter presents to you much harder situations? |
17110 | If you do not believe in yourself, how do you expect the world to believe in you? |
17110 | In other countries there is in comparison a general atmosphere of"what''s the use?" |
17110 | Is a fellow to have no fun? |
17110 | Is it not plain that the great novel of modern society is yet to be written? |
17110 | Is it not written that"man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God"? |
17110 | Is it to accomplish some good thing for humanity that you want this"career,"which is to keep you single until you are too old to be interesting? |
17110 | Is not our college training responsible for some of this melancholy negativeness of life? |
17110 | Is the soul immortal and what is the soul anyhow?" |
17110 | Is there not a refusal to recognize young manhood''s force until it compels recognition by sheer mastery? |
17110 | It is a one- sided gamble, is it not? |
17110 | Just what is it that you expect to do with these self- centered and single years during which you intend so to help the race? |
17110 | May not the too heavy early education of young girls have something to do with this later desperation of their nerves? |
17110 | Not so bad after all, is it? |
17110 | Or when saw we thee_ sick, or in prison, and came unto thee_? |
17110 | Or, if you live on a farm, do you not see them in your own county? |
17110 | Said one of his admirers:"Why do n''t you go into practise? |
17110 | Strange words, were they not, for a scene of carnage? |
17110 | Surprised? |
17110 | The Christian religion is a livable creed, is it not? |
17110 | The Young Man who Can not Go_ But what of the young man who stands without the college gates? |
17110 | The first question asked always is,"Does he drink?" |
17110 | The mystery of the telegraph( and what is more mysterious?) |
17110 | The only question that he was asking was,"Where is the man who is equal to the job?" |
17110 | The secret of success? |
17110 | Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we_ thee an hungered, and fed thee? |
17110 | There was a nut to crack, was it not? |
17110 | They are for high- grade men-- and that is what you are, is it not? |
17110 | This is a sinister illustration, I know, but it is the truth, and the truth is what you are after, is it not? |
17110 | This is saying much for the Hebrew blood and genius; but have not these Jews given us our moral laws, our spiritual ideals, our sacred faith? |
17110 | Very like Cæsar, was it not? |
17110 | Very well, why should you not do as well? |
17110 | We do not want to become mere machines of success, do we? |
17110 | Well, then, do you imagine that you are going to have an easier time in your business or profession than the officers in our army and navy? |
17110 | What about the father?" |
17110 | What are they to you? |
17110 | What does all this mean? |
17110 | What greater joy can there be for a man than the sheer felicity of doing real work in the world? |
17110 | What is it for? |
17110 | What is it we hear the strong- handed Philistines say in the market- place? |
17110 | What is it you so admire in men whom you think fortunate-- what is it but their mastery of adversity after adversity? |
17110 | What is that which you call success but victory over untoward events? |
17110 | What is the condition of the mind of the young minister? |
17110 | What is the use of the young man stating that?" |
17110 | What kind of training has he had? |
17110 | What of him upon whom Fate has locked the doors of this arsenal of power and life''s equipment? |
17110 | What of the myriads of young Americans like him? |
17110 | What of this young man? |
17110 | What other bad habits has he had, and has he now? |
17110 | What right has any man to vote as he individually thinks best? |
17110 | What said they of the Master? |
17110 | What, no recreation? |
17110 | When present applause or ultimate fame become your chief purpose in life, what are you, after all? |
17110 | When saw we thee_ a stranger, and took thee in? |
17110 | Who are you that you should not be one of them? |
17110 | Who can doubt that in the universal mind there is a question as to the moral element in American business? |
17110 | Who is any man, that he should have a"career"? |
17110 | Who is any one that he should not be one of the people? |
17110 | Who shall deny that the philosophers of India are right, and that mind and character may continue to grow throughout illimitable series of existences? |
17110 | Who was it that spoke about the damnable iteration of the seasons? |
17110 | Why do n''t the doctors begin a crusade about this? |
17110 | Why should it be anything to anybody? |
17110 | Why should it be anything to them? |
17110 | Why take the chance? |
17110 | Why this hazard of your powers, just to find out whether you can resist? |
17110 | Why, how much did he get? |
17110 | Why? |
17110 | Would I help to get a certain man who held a Government position paying him$ 150 a month promoted? |
17110 | Would it be possible to get him a place on some ranch for six or eight months? |
17110 | Yes, and that is the trouble with you, is it not? |
17110 | You are willing to show these favored sons of cap and gown that you will run as fast and as far as they, with all their training, will you not? |
17110 | You see that the German universities have come back to the lecture method exclusively-- or did they ever depart from it? |
17110 | You want it to be a home for the mind as well as the body, do you not? |
17110 | You want to_ start in_ as superintendent of a great system or the head of a mighty business, do you not? |
17110 | _ The people are the government._ What said Lincoln in his greatest utterance? |
17110 | and what does a"career"amount to, anyway? |
17110 | it did n''t enable him to get out into society, was that it? |
17110 | or naked, and clothed thee_? |
17110 | or thirsty, and gave thee drink_? |
17110 | said Bismarck,"suppose I had failed?" |
45641 | Is she making good? |
45641 | Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you? |
45641 | What wouldst thou? |
45641 | All departments of service seem already crowded; can it be that the world needs more workers? |
45641 | An easy, luxurious life? |
45641 | And can you do it-- not with cold and stoic fortitude, but cheerfully and serenely? |
45641 | And do we not see why we grow happier as we grow older? |
45641 | And do you sometimes feel rebellious about it and contrast your lot with that of some one who has no such cross to bear? |
45641 | And when should one seek this path? |
45641 | And why has it the virtue claimed for it? |
45641 | Are you carrying some burden or bearing some cross that often seems too heavy? |
45641 | Are you one of the unfortunate persons who can not be happy for a moment unless in the company of others? |
45641 | Are you wise enough for such an undertaking? |
45641 | Ask yourself whether that restores your powers so that you return to your work with mind and body at their best? |
45641 | Browning has the right view when he says,--"To man, propose this test-- Thy body at its best, How far can that project thy soul on its lone way?" |
45641 | But how far have we a right to hold them to the same standards as ourselves? |
45641 | But how much of the fault- finding in the world does any good or is intended to do any good? |
45641 | But if they did this there would be no market for their labors; and who would earn the money necessary for their support? |
45641 | But what gift or blessing does St. Paul ask for the young man so dear to him? |
45641 | But what of that? |
45641 | But what shall be said regarding those unfavorable outward circumstances of your life to which you must submit? |
45641 | But why talk to young people about trouble? |
45641 | But you are happy, so why talk to you about securing something which you already possess, indeed, have never been without? |
45641 | Can you imagine a Lincoln or a Phillips Brooks wrapped up in his own petty concerns, even for a day? |
45641 | Can you offer your friend anything less than a constantly enriching life? |
45641 | Can you pick up the threads of your life, change the pattern, but still weave something beautiful with them? |
45641 | Did not Julia Ward Howe begin the study of Greek at an age when most people only doze by the fire? |
45641 | Did you ever think of the bad result upon a family of having one unwisely unselfish member? |
45641 | Do they occupy a large place in your life? |
45641 | Do we not hear on all sides that happiness is what all the world is seeking? |
45641 | Do you care more about what you can get out of your friendship or about what you can put into it? |
45641 | Do you long for freedom, for the power to carve out your own destiny in your own way? |
45641 | Do you never imagine yourself slighted or neglected or misunderstood? |
45641 | Do you promptly check each impatient word that springs to your lips? |
45641 | Do you show the friend who so easily overlooks your faults the same fine courtesy that you show to the stranger who would not overlook them? |
45641 | Do you think more about being served or about serving? |
45641 | Do you wonder whether your friend loves you enough or whether you can not love her more? |
45641 | Does friendship cost anything? |
45641 | Does not this strike a responsive chord in each one of us? |
45641 | Does the mother who has the care of a family need a disciplined will? |
45641 | Does your friendship in comparison with any one of these seem insignificant, even puerile? |
45641 | Given both, what can defeat us? |
45641 | Has it, therefore, been all loss to you and all gain to her? |
45641 | Has not the young man his own destiny to carve out? |
45641 | Has some one deceived you? |
45641 | Have we not learned in part the secret of happiness? |
45641 | Have you a quick, hot_ temper_? |
45641 | Have you a real friend? |
45641 | Have you been indolent, wasting your time, and placing too high a value upon things not worth while? |
45641 | Have you been selfish and inconsiderate of the rights of others? |
45641 | Have you blundered and have you failed, not once, but over and over again? |
45641 | Have you ever thought of rhythm in nature? |
45641 | Have you ever visited any of the great winter resorts of the South? |
45641 | Have you ever, in a burst of temper, wounded those you love best in all the world? |
45641 | Have you given utterance to words that you would give years of your life to recall? |
45641 | Have you lost faith in some one whom you trusted, and are you therefore having a struggle lest you lose all faith in human nature? |
45641 | Have you made mistakes in the past? |
45641 | Have you not known some wealthy family whose riches suddenly took wings, to the enormous gain of every one of its members? |
45641 | Have you said or done things that you feared had lost you the respect of some one whose good opinion was of priceless value to you? |
45641 | Have you sometimes been disturbed because you did not feel just like beginning hard work at the close of a vacation? |
45641 | He asks, What is discipline? |
45641 | Her reply was,"How can I spend much money for clothes when there are so many young people in the world suffering for an education?" |
45641 | How can God be in his heaven and all right with the world, when there is so much sorrow and suffering and sin? |
45641 | How can one be sure of finding the opportunity to render the service one is eager to render? |
45641 | How far should loyalty go? |
45641 | I could not help asking myself, How can any young man who enters Eton, bearing one of these honored names, be anything but his best self? |
45641 | I must speak as I please and act as I feel"? |
45641 | If a school is an educational failure, what avails its success in some subordinate thing? |
45641 | If so, to whom belongs the right to deny it? |
45641 | If the answer is in the affirmative, a further question should be asked: Will it help me to become a more valuable person? |
45641 | If those you love best were suddenly to be taken from you, would you then discover how small had been your real appreciation of them? |
45641 | If we are counted among the efficient, who are given a large share of work to do, shall we be sorry? |
45641 | If you find yourself so dull a companion, how can you expect others to find you interesting? |
45641 | In moral and spiritual stature, are you small? |
45641 | In the intercourse between you and your friend, is there one whose will prevails in every case of disagreement? |
45641 | In what sort of a world are these girls soon to take their places? |
45641 | In whose life is there more of petty detail and unending drudgery? |
45641 | In your family is there one who determines every plan and settles every course of action? |
45641 | Is it because of our innate selfishness that so many sermons need to be preached to us about our duty to others? |
45641 | Is it not true that all people who have accomplished large things have had this power? |
45641 | Is it not true that much of it merely gives vent to irritability on the part of the fault- finder? |
45641 | Is not this power the greatest asset possessed by those who have achieved true success in every age? |
45641 | Is your life restricted by certain responsibilities not of your own choosing, yet from which you can not honorably escape-- nay, would not escape? |
45641 | It is all over in an instant, yet, in a fit of temper what may one not say or do? |
45641 | It is easier to sing and cheer on some moving occasion, but which does your school need more at your hands? |
45641 | May one wait until the years of unhappiness come? |
45641 | May we learn something from nature''s ways that will help us to make our lives strong? |
45641 | Must you live apart from the friends whose society is most congenial to you? |
45641 | Next, am I doing it in the right spirit? |
45641 | Once the day was overcast because of some fancied slight or neglect, or the weather had upset some cherished plan, or-- but why go on with the list? |
45641 | One said to the other,"Looking back over your college days, what do you now regard as the most valuable thing you got out of college?" |
45641 | Or can you be brave and strong enough to follow the path that will enlarge and beautify your life as well as bring good to others? |
45641 | Or do you distrust yourself and your own powers? |
45641 | Perhaps you ask, But why do women rush out into the world to find work? |
45641 | Should a young man or woman accept an education to be paid for by money toilsomely earned by self- sacrificing parents? |
45641 | Should the daughter whose presence gives cheer leave the home for a larger sphere of usefulness? |
45641 | Should the physician sacrifice his life in order that the devastating scourge may give up its secret and other lives be saved? |
45641 | That is, can I take it and at the same time be just to others? |
45641 | The next time you are tempted to find fault, ask yourself two questions: First, will it do any good? |
45641 | Their anxious friends inquire,"Will he make good?" |
45641 | Then how can you believe that you are being educated if your work is not of such a nature as to call forth your highest powers? |
45641 | There must be rebuffs and stings and hardness, and they must be endured; but as to finding good in such things-- why pretend it? |
45641 | This very fact gave her anxiety, and she wrote,"What can we, who are born to luxury, do to offset the lack of struggle?" |
45641 | To what extent are the duties and responsibilities of woman to be different from what they have been? |
45641 | To what extent is it your duty to imperil your health or your life for the needs of others? |
45641 | We all remember the answer of Christ when asked,"How often should I forgive my brother, until seven times?" |
45641 | What are the school days for unless they are to teach you values, to show you which things are of most worth? |
45641 | What are they asking? |
45641 | What better opportunity for growth than this could any girl ask? |
45641 | What can nature teach us of rhythm that will help us build our lives up into rounded completion? |
45641 | What can you do that you may be more so to- morrow? |
45641 | What is more important than emotion in friendship, do you ask? |
45641 | What is the place of the emotional element in friendship? |
45641 | What is the price? |
45641 | What shall we say, however, of those who all through life are consumers and not producers, who add nothing to the world, but continually take from it? |
45641 | What then? |
45641 | What will you do about it? |
45641 | When a great sorrow comes, how shall one endure it unless one has work to do? |
45641 | When one is urged to surrender self, to lose self, to care naught what becomes of self, one is led to cry,"But am_ I_ of no worth? |
45641 | Where is there greater need of the wide outlook and the large vision? |
45641 | Where shall we draw the line between obligation to self and obligation to others? |
45641 | Who can be content to count only as a cipher? |
45641 | Who can look forward with any satisfaction to being a drone in the world''s busy hive? |
45641 | Who can respect any one who is lacking in_ self- respect_? |
45641 | Who can tell what momentous changes are to be wrought in your life by going away to school? |
45641 | Who ever heard of a church that had workers enough? |
45641 | Who has not at some time been in a family where heated discussions were continually arising out of some trifle? |
45641 | Who is protected, who can be protected, when fortunes are heaped up to- day only to be swept away to- morrow? |
45641 | Who is? |
45641 | Who of us is not at times sorely in need of this kindly office of a friend? |
45641 | Who, indeed, needs it more? |
45641 | Why are men toiling and struggling and warring with each other to heap up wealth except that they believe it will bring happiness? |
45641 | Why are women asking for an opportunity to vote? |
45641 | Why can we not go back to the good old times when all women found shelter and safety within the walls of the home? |
45641 | Why does one understand before you speak while another can not understand even after you explain? |
45641 | Why is it that one sees the best in you and another the worst? |
45641 | Why not make it larger before any complete self- surrender? |
45641 | Why not take account of the work that must be done in future years? |
45641 | Why spend one''s self in a single effort? |
45641 | Why? |
45641 | Will you adopt a course that will not only make those about you miserable, but will dwarf and narrow your own life? |
45641 | Will your friendship be worth enough to you to pay that price? |
45641 | Would He have exchanged His life of toil and hardship and suffering for any other lot? |
45641 | Would you march on to the attainment of more splendid virtues? |
45641 | Would you rid yourself of egregious faults? |
45641 | Would you then be miserable? |
45641 | Yet who shall say that He was not happy? |
45641 | Yet, if so, why is it that invalids are so often the sunniest, most serene, most stimulating persons we know? |
45641 | Yet, shall we regret that we live in an age of opportunity? |
45641 | Youth, health, love are yours, so why should you not be happy? |
20819 | Am I vain of my dress? |
20819 | Am I wrong in this supposition? |
20819 | An eminent writer asks,"Who ever saw a handsome talented woman?" |
20819 | And how could it be otherwise, if all girls should marry in their girlhood? |
20819 | And now the question with every young woman should be, How do I feel about my dress? |
20819 | And what are they? |
20819 | And when reared what are they? |
20819 | Are they vigorous and healthy? |
20819 | Are you not taken captives by the glitter of Dress? |
20819 | Are you protected from the winter''s cold, from wind and wet at all points, as you should be? |
20819 | Are your forms permitted to expand as God designed them? |
20819 | Are your organs and limbs and muscles permitted their full and proper play? |
20819 | But how is it with our girls? |
20819 | But it may be asked, what we call an early Marriage? |
20819 | But really, why is it sadder than to die by inches on the guillotine of Fashion? |
20819 | But what are they compared to a human soul? |
20819 | But why? |
20819 | By the side of such how will stand the fashionable mother? |
20819 | Can they eat well, sleep well, work well, walk well, bear well the changes of climate, endure heat and cold, toil and fatigue, trial and study? |
20819 | Can you breathe freely and easily the proper amount of air to oxygenate your blood and give you health and strength? |
20819 | Dependent men are ninnies, why should not dependent women be? |
20819 | Do effects follow their causes? |
20819 | Do the girls understand this? |
20819 | Do they answer the ends of Dress? |
20819 | Do young women propose for themselves the strong virtue of womanhood, which is an impregnable fortress of righteous principle? |
20819 | Does He ask more than what is reasonable? |
20819 | Does my love of Dress interfere with the true objects of woman- life? |
20819 | Else why their perpetual unrest, their longing, dissatisfied condition of mind? |
20819 | First: Do our modes of Dress injure our bodies? |
20819 | Has he laid a necessity upon woman''s nature that this beauty shall last but an hour? |
20819 | Have I any thing to do in its attainments? |
20819 | Have we any moral right thus to abuse our bodies, thus to commit a snail- working suicide? |
20819 | How can another know what you want in a companion? |
20819 | How can there be genius and talent where Fashion molds the will and cuts the life to a pattern? |
20819 | How can there be greatness where Fashion shapes the growth and prescribes its bounds? |
20819 | How can there be individual identity where Fashion rules? |
20819 | How can there be wisdom where Fashion dictates the mode of thought and the form of utterance? |
20819 | How can we help loving him? |
20819 | How can you look upon any thing beautiful, or contemplate the sense of Beauty within you, without reverent feelings toward God the Giver of all? |
20819 | How can you look upon your own forms or see your features in a mirror, without thinking of Him who made you thus? |
20819 | How could woman be any thing with the whole world against her? |
20819 | How is it with our young women? |
20819 | How, than, should she feel toward that Father? |
20819 | If boys can not be any thing with such a training, how can the girls be? |
20819 | If it is unkindness to the boys, why is it not unkindness to the girls? |
20819 | If so, then why not give woman opportunities such as are necessary to develop her powers and form her character? |
20819 | If their mothers did not, who did? |
20819 | If their mothers had been wise and forcible, as they should have been, would the children have been so easily led astray? |
20819 | If they had the influence they ought to have, would they be so? |
20819 | If woman was rightly educated, who could tell what a race of men would grow up to people the coming ages? |
20819 | If women had that influence which some attribute to them, would these things be so? |
20819 | In this light, how stands the tawdry foolery of Fashion? |
20819 | Is Beauty an evil in itself considered? |
20819 | Is Beauty connected with less natural endowments of mind, less kindness of heart? |
20819 | Is Beauty uncongenial to talent and worth? |
20819 | Is it a duty to be good? |
20819 | Is it a matter too bright in my eye-- a subject too important in my mind? |
20819 | Is it a wonder that you have so many weaknesses and pains and saddening afflictions upon you? |
20819 | Is it irreverence thus to speak? |
20819 | Is it morally corrupting? |
20819 | Is it proper for youth to do so? |
20819 | Is it so? |
20819 | Is life a preparation for eternity? |
20819 | Is one really more respected, more beloved, more received into the arms of the good, more caressed by the worthy, for being fashionable? |
20819 | Is the Girlhood of to- day a fit preparation for the duties that will devolve upon the women of the next generation? |
20819 | Is there a great object in my being? |
20819 | Is there any more important question for young women to consider than this? |
20819 | Is there not a call for a more active religion, a more powerful impulse in behalf of morality? |
20819 | Is there not a need of more vigorous virtue in woman? |
20819 | Is your blood in no way impeded in its life- mission through your bodies? |
20819 | It is this:"How can we love a being we have not seen? |
20819 | It requires Employment to develop men, why should not it to develop women? |
20819 | Now if it will spoil the boys, why will it not spoil the girls? |
20819 | Now let me ask, Does not your love of Dress lead you from the great ends of woman- life? |
20819 | Now let us ask whether our present modes of Dress are thus brought under the direction of religious principles? |
20819 | Now of what avail will a good character be without health to apply its forces to the work of life? |
20819 | Now, I ask again, and you shall be judges, young women, if your modes of Dress do not injure your bodies? |
20819 | Now, how can children know whether this harmony exists, when their own characters are unformed, their powers undeveloped? |
20819 | Shall not the wife and mother retain the beauty and health of the girl? |
20819 | Shall not the woman retain the physical integrity of the girl? |
20819 | Shall we look thoughtlessly upon these nurseries of immortal fruits? |
20819 | Shall we pollute and degrade the Homes in which we dwell? |
20819 | Shall we send out from them unholy influences to corrupt the world? |
20819 | Take God away from his works, and where would they be? |
20819 | The question should hang all the time written in blazing capitals in the firmament of each soul,"How am I educating?" |
20819 | The second question is, Do our ideas of Dress corrupt our hearts? |
20819 | The wisest and best in early adult life can be none too well prepared for the great duties of married life-- how can children be prepared? |
20819 | Then is not the idea of Home important? |
20819 | Then why should we not be free and use our own reason for our own purposes and give others the same privilege? |
20819 | They all wear silk, cotton, linen, yet who knows the history of either one of these articles of apparel? |
20819 | They are as richly endowed with mind as any other fifty girls in town, but how would they show it? |
20819 | They have all had their countenances daguerreotyped, yet who knows how it is done? |
20819 | Those strings which bind so closely your chests, do they not impede your breathing, and thus weaken your lungs and corrupt your systems? |
20819 | To what end? |
20819 | We are educating all the time, and the question with us should be, How do we educate ourselves? |
20819 | We can not make men without Employment; how can we expect to make women? |
20819 | We must seek, else how shall we find them? |
20819 | We send our girls to these schools to be educated; but educated for what? |
20819 | We study astronomy in all our schools, but where is a class instructed in the economy of health? |
20819 | What are they, what can they be, under such circumstances? |
20819 | What can she do with life? |
20819 | What do they even amount to, but weaker scions of the old stock? |
20819 | What do they expect to be and do when they are women? |
20819 | What do they know of mechanics, science, literature, government, theology, history, reform-- the great questions that stir the world of mind? |
20819 | What do they live for? |
20819 | What does your Beauty avail you unless you are beautiful in spirit, lovely in character, useful in life? |
20819 | What is a church out of Fashion? |
20819 | What is an ephemeral flower or an age- lasting star compared with glorious reason, with eternal love, with deathless benevolence, and conscience? |
20819 | What is beauty and physical womanhood to Fashion? |
20819 | What is it but a breath of poison to the young? |
20819 | What is there in our highly civilized life that escapes the palsying touch of Fashion? |
20819 | What is womanhood? |
20819 | What manner of men and women do we make of ourselves? |
20819 | What matters it, so far as the guilt is concerned, whether we kill ourselves in a minute or a year, a year or an age? |
20819 | What of all that? |
20819 | What reverent soul does not love to look at God in his works? |
20819 | What shall we say then, is he not a lover of Beauty? |
20819 | What were the material universe with all its sublime grandeur and awe- inspiring magnificence with no soul to gaze upon it? |
20819 | What woman would not rather have a nervous debility than dispense with hot coffee and strong tea? |

20819 | Why am I? |
20819 | Why are so many young men reckless, drunken, profane, and lawless? |
20819 | Why be such slavish conformists, and brand as traitors or heretics all who differ from our party or church? |
20819 | Why confine every limb and muscle of its body? |
20819 | Why do I live? |
20819 | Why do they not? |
20819 | Why does it imprison itself in close, hot rooms? |
20819 | Why engirdle its waist in warmth and cordage, and expose its feet to every storm and frost, to mud and snow? |
20819 | Why have civilized men closed all their colleges and universities against women? |
20819 | Why have they deprived her of power, and compelled her to submit to man in all the relations of life? |
20819 | Why have they shut almost every avenue to public usefulness, to honorable distinction, to virtuous endeavor, against woman? |
20819 | Why is it so? |
20819 | Why is it so? |
20819 | Why is it so? |
20819 | Why is it? |
20819 | Why is not a woman who is equally useless? |

20819 | Why should any woman think to live without religion? |
20819 | Why should it not be so with a young woman? |
20819 | Why should she excuse herself? |
20819 | Why should she not adorn her mind, develop her powers, live to a high purpose, act well a noble part, do and be according to her capacity? |
20819 | Why should the boys grow up with a great and good purpose before them, while the girls grow up for nothing? |
20819 | Why should we dissipate it in an hour? |
20819 | Why should we excuse her on account of her riches? |
20819 | Why, then, is Girlhood so prodigal of its health and strength? |
20819 | Why, then, is it not preserved? |
20819 | Will young women heed the call? |
20819 | Women are asking,"What shall we do? |
20819 | Would the roses not return to their cheeks, the full, swelling beauties of woman''s strength to their forms? |
20819 | Would we find the path of_ duty_? |
20819 | Yet what is Fashion, what does it amount to? |
20819 | _ Dress_, what is it? |
20819 | _ Food_, what is it good for if it is not in Fashion? |
20819 | a Father we have not known? |
20819 | a God we can not comprehend?" |
20819 | and through that beauty is not carried up to God the beautiful and bountiful author of it all? |
20819 | and what place does the fashionable woman take? |
20819 | how individual taste, individual opinion, individual virtue and character? |
20819 | sold bond- slaves to your bonnets and shoes? |
20819 | to do those deeds of darkness which the sun refuses to shine upon? |
20819 | to drink, and brawl, and fight? |
20819 | what is all the world without it? |
20819 | with even those she loved best, and in whose judgment she most confided, all the time reminding her of her mental weakness and inferiority? |
17781 | And was not the effect sublime when the storm reached the heights of the mountains, and all the elements of Nature struggled so stubbornly? |
17781 | But why,asks the Impracticable,"does not Society stamp it out at once?" |
17781 | Canst bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades? |
17781 | Do you know that signature? |
17781 | In sickness,says Shakspeare, playing with his prepositions,"let me not so much say,''Am I getting better of my pain?'' |
17781 | Is the condition of the woman better, in addition to the improved habits of the man? |
17781 | Jimmie, where''s your outside man? 17781 O, my poor, dear husband, have I so forgotten you?" |
17781 | Well, will you not try hard to find out where he gets his whisky? |
17781 | What a piece of worke is a man? 17781 Why does not the sun shine twenty- four hours in America on the Fourth of July?" |
17781 | You are quite sure he drinks whisky, are you? |
17781 | A majority of successful men say"How are you, sir?" |
17781 | A peculiar selfishness is that voice of duty which cries to those whom we rightly call good to go forth to the bedside of the distressed, is it not? |
17781 | AND WHO WAS WILLIAM TYNDALE? |
17781 | AS THE CASKET DULLS and grows to its decay, we can not weep greatly over its loss, for will it not reveal the splendors all within? |
17781 | And now CANNOT WE INSPIRE YOUNG MEN with a little truer idea of life? |
17781 | And now comes the query:"What is man?" |
17781 | And to whom are we principally indebted for this lovely poem of God? |
17781 | And what has it made of us? |
17781 | And what has that society been? |
17781 | And, on the contrary, has he not seen the reverse of this sad picture many a time? |
17781 | Are not the hues upon their cheeks as rich as the sunset? |
17781 | Are we not blest? |
17781 | Are we, therefore, inferior? |
17781 | Are you going to be at the meeting to- night?" |
17781 | But how will you get the money? |
17781 | But why can we not attach meaning to it? |
17781 | Can any detail be unimportant in an undertaking of such measureless risk? |
17781 | Can not we teach them that money in itself is not what they want above all things? |
17781 | Can we not, in thinking of the good old Home, stand a little nearer to the blast and warm some tiny heart a little more? |
17781 | Can you not grasp the idea that, in reason, the universe is boundless? |
17781 | Can you not see how much luckier you would have been had you really known nothing of the state of things? |
17781 | Can you, then, add to it? |
17781 | DOES NOT THE CHERRY"dab on"the scarlet and the carmine direct from the gorgeous sun himself? |
17781 | DOES THE BEAST PEER INTO THE STARS? |
17781 | Did not the whole world sigh with relief when the final end came? |
17781 | Did they want clerks? |
17781 | Do the birds that pass so easily into the air go on voyages of discovery past Sirius? |
17781 | Do you think this polish was put on the wood with one application of the brush-- with two, three, four? |
17781 | Does not the General spread his maps before him? |
17781 | Does the merry laugh sing out as it did in our own youth? |
17781 | HOW CAN THE BROOD BE GATHERED TOGETHER at night so surely as when there is an engagement with the Creator at the hearth where life began? |
17781 | HOW HAVE THE SAGES LOOKED UPON LOVE? |
17781 | HOW MANY HUSBANDS HAS HE SEEN follow a drunken wife into a gutter? |
17781 | Has he forgotten his poor father? |
17781 | Has he not faithful friends-- friends of a life- time? |
17781 | Has it not surprised you to see how few great men New York or Chicago have furnished to the nation? |
17781 | Have you not often felt you could walk ten miles as easily as one? |
17781 | Have you not often felt you would like to be in the little white cottage, reading what a wonderful place New York is? |
17781 | He never loved them, and how could he expect them to be swindled? |
17781 | He once impressed a circle of friends very deeply with this noble veneration:"What,"said he,"is so beautiful as THE STYLE OF THE BIBLE? |
17781 | He says:"Could you not follow every thought of the composer in that symphony?" |
17781 | He says:"Have you any buttons like this?" |

17781 | How could those lips and cheeks retain their delicate tints if the wet seasons of grief set in with tropical intensity? |
17781 | How does Society do it? |
17781 | How does a man become so great that malice and envy and utter hatred can not by their constant stings infect his blood? |
17781 | How has Society done this wonderful thing? |
17781 | How hearty is his laugh-- for has he not laughed with nature-- with the twitter of the birds, with the low beating of the bells? |
17781 | How is it that the frightful objurgations of the high- charioted host fall so lightly on that officer? |
17781 | How much cheese, tea, butter, washing, sugar and schooling did our friend and his cubs of the fourteenth century enjoy? |
17781 | How much did they pay? |
17781 | How will Society approach the wife- beater? |
17781 | How would you like to be judged solely at those times when you were"carrying on,"and"did n''t care whether school kept or not"? |
17781 | I have young relations that may grow upon me, for my nature is affectionate, but can they grow old friends? |
17781 | If it_ does_ contribute to his peace of mind, why should the world care? |
17781 | In the city it is asked"Does he get drunk?" |
17781 | In the country it is asked"Does he drink?" |
17781 | Indeed, as the last sublime token of friendship, have they not been drunk for weeks together? |
17781 | Is it any wonder that the child is so easily deceived, and credits all his joys to unseen ministers? |
17781 | Is it friendship to explain half one says? |
17781 | Is it not pitiful? |
17781 | Is it not ridiculous for the poor man, by aping the habits of the rich, to spurn some of the greatest blessings attaching to our life? |
17781 | Is not wisdom entailed upon it? |
17781 | Is there any unselfishness in the aspiration? |
17781 | Now how are you to catch this marvelous sunshine of prosperity? |
17781 | Now to make his account good in the First National Bank of Experience, what should Hope do? |
17781 | Now, what is possible? |
17781 | O death, where is my sting? |
17781 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
17781 | One must relate the history of one''s memory and ideas; and what is that to the young but old stories?" |
17781 | One says:"HOW ARE YE?" |
17781 | Or whence this secret dread, and inward horror, Of falling into naught? |
17781 | SHALL GOD WEIGH OUT ARCTURUS FOR US, to exhibit His power or its magnitude? |
17781 | Shall we doubt either the goodness of God or the perfection of nature? |
17781 | Shall we hesitate to weave the silk of death around our bodies when we know that we may thence issue a being worthy of a celestial sphere of action? |
17781 | Simple, is it not-- like Napoleon''s tactics? |
17781 | Simple, was it not? |
17781 | Tall mountains meet, and giddy greet The clouds in their exalted homes; What may they show, save ice and snow, Unto the fleets that pass their domes? |
17781 | The other responds:"How are ye? |
17781 | Then, illogically, she asks:"Is this good?" |
17781 | This is the light of the world, the open sesame of the millennium? |
17781 | Unselfish, therefore, it must endure, whether she love him or not, for HAS HE NOT PROCLAIMED IT TO HIS OWN SOUL? |
17781 | WAS IT NOT ASTONISHING? |
17781 | WHAT CAN WE DO FOR THESE RANK FAILURES? |
17781 | WHERE WAS THIS? |
17781 | Want a''bus? |
17781 | Was he not the mightiest man of his time? |

17781 | What is this boasted word"good- breeding?" |
17781 | What makes mankind revere Shakspeare Because he said fine things? |
17781 | What makes that small, unopened missive so precious to that great rough man? |
17781 | What makes the remembrance of the old Home so happy? |
17781 | What music is sweeter than the singing of birds, the ringing of free school bells and the hum of machinery? |

17781 | Why are they so firm? |
17781 | Why did the young man and the young woman do it? |
17781 | Why do I sit in judgment on myself? |
17781 | Why do they dare so to humbug the people? |
17781 | Why does he not get killed himself? |
17781 | Why does he tremble,--that rough, weather- beaten man? |
17781 | Why is it that that voice still sounds in my ears? |
17781 | Why is this? |
17781 | Why is this? |
17781 | Why should not its heart rejoice? |
17781 | Why should the blow have singled her as its object? |
17781 | Why should their colors not be rich? |
17781 | Why shrinks the soul Back on herself, and startles at destruction? |
17781 | Why were they wise? |
17781 | Why, then, in reason, shall it not be our infinite pleasure to study God''s plans forever? |
17781 | Why? |
17781 | Why? |

17781 | With regard to drunkenness, for instance, let us ask ourselves:"Is drunkenness less prevalent now than in olden times?" |
17781 | Yet he was on a tiny rock in the great ocean? |
17781 | Yet who shall blame Gladstone? |
17781 | You can smile on the young lady, but can you smile on the old woman? |

14418 | All the world cries,''Where is the man who will save us? 14418 And do many of the workmen employed in your workshop save money?" |
14418 | And that''s all your secret? |
14418 | And when did you begin to save? |
14418 | But what will Mrs. Grundy say? |
14418 | Do you think so? |
14418 | Gotten what? |
14418 | Has n''t thee had thy share? 14418 Have you any use for it?" |
14418 | How can I repay you? 14418 How can I tell? |
14418 | Hungry? |
14418 | I say, mate,said one workman to another, as they went home one evening from their work,"will you tell me how it is that you contrive to get on? |
14418 | II est bon d''être charitable, Mais envers qui? 14418 Is that dress paid for?" |
14418 | Just sign me this little bit of paper,was a request often made to him by particular friends,"What is it?" |
14418 | No man oppresses thee, O free and independent franchiser; but does not this stupid pewter pot oppress thee? 14418 Nothing? |
14418 | Oh, you ca n''t tell: you do n''t know what you spent? 14418 Plenty brass?" |
14418 | Well, how many glasses had you there? |
14418 | Well, then, how much did you spend on drink last Saturday night? 14418 What is he worth?" |
14418 | What is his income? |
14418 | What is that? |
14418 | What is the best government? |
14418 | What were you,asked Pantagruel of Panurge,"without your debts? |
14418 | What will Mrs. Grundy say? |
14418 | What will the world say? |
14418 | What would life be without arithmetic, but a scene of horrors? 14418 Where are all the workmen?" |
14418 | Where is it hid? |
14418 | Where is their common sense? 14418 Who can find a virtuous woman? |
14418 | Would''st like to go, John? 14418 Yes, indeed;--how does she trot?" |
14418 | ''What are you doing there?'' |

14418 | ''What,''said he,''is that you?'' |
14418 | ''Why do n''t you go to the workhouse? |
14418 | ... How to constitute oneself a man? |
14418 | And ought not"prosperity"to include the improvement and well- being of his morals and intellect as well as of his bones and muscles? |
14418 | And to break the force of the sunbeams by the tender resistance of green leaves? |
14418 | And what becomes of the dispossessed? |
14418 | And what did these rich persons leave behind them? |
14418 | And why? |
14418 | And why? |
14418 | And yet, when misfortunes overtake them, and when their debts have become overwhelming, what becomes of the"friends"? |
14418 | Are they, in the event of his early death, to be left to buffet with the world unaided? |
14418 | Are we to condemn the eighteenpenny annual dinner of the poor man, but excuse the guinea one of the rich? |
14418 | At a time when there are no strikes, why should they not save as much money on their own account, for their own permanent comfort? |
14418 | At his death he owed over two thousand pounds:"Was ever poet,"says Johnson,"so trusted before?" |
14418 | But have not the men risen above their lot of labouring spinners? |
14418 | But in the meantime, how are they to live? |
14418 | But is this the chief end of man? |
14418 | But what were they doing with the money they earned? |
14418 | But why not have pleasant and delightful things to look upon? |
14418 | But why not, besides the beauty of Nature, have a taste for the beauty of Art? |
14418 | Can a man keep out of debt? |
14418 | Can any form of cruelty surpass this? |
14418 | Can they cook? |
14418 | Could agriculture have supported the continuous increase of population? |
14418 | Could not debt be dispensed with altogether, and man''s independence preserved secure? |
14418 | Did he_ ever_ exist? |
14418 | Do you think there is anything divine in lending or in crediting others? |
14418 | Does putting on garments of a certain colour constitute true mourning? |

14418 | Double the gains of an uneducated, overworked man, in a time of prosperity, and what is the result? |
14418 | Dr. Guthrie, in his book on Ragged Schools, published in 1860, said:"How are our manufacturing and handicraft youth situated? |
14418 | Has he not a soul as well as a stomach? |
14418 | Has he not faculties, affections, and sympathies, besides muscular organs? |
14418 | Has not his mind and heart certain claims, as well as his mouth and his back? |
14418 | Has the father provided for their future? |
14418 | Have spinning- jennies swallowed him up? |
14418 | Have they been taught to cook? |
14418 | Have they performed this duty? |
14418 | He had no friends, no patronage, no money; What could he do with everything against him? |
14418 | How are these enormous evils to be cured? |
14418 | How can a man be a social elevator, who is himself walking in the mire of self- indulgence? |
14418 | How can he teach sobriety or cleanliness, if he be himself drunken or foul? |
14418 | How can they check the accounts of their tradesmen or their servants? |
14418 | How can they compare their expenditure with their receipts, without the knowledge of addition and subtraction? |
14418 | How can they know precisely what to spend in rent, or clothing, or food, or for service, unless they know the value of figures? |
14418 | How do they use their power? |
14418 | How have they been weaned from drink? |
14418 | How_ can_ such persons take any interest in pure and elevating knowledge?" |
14418 | I? |
14418 | Is a man married? |
14418 | Is it an obligation on the part of a husband and father to provide daily bread for his wife and children during his life? |
14418 | Is it not a fact that, in this country, cooking is one of the lost or undiscovered arts? |
14418 | Is it not reasonable, therefore, to expect that women should know something of those laws, and of their operation? |
14418 | Is it not the heart and the affections that mourn, rather than the outside raiment? |
14418 | Is not this a much more satisfactory result than the application of drugs? |
14418 | Is that all, Ransom?" |
14418 | Is there a possibility of avoiding the moral degradation which accompanies it? |
14418 | Is there any Government that would dare to tax you to that extent? |
14418 | Is there any other town or city that can show a more satisfactory result of the teaching, the experience, and the prosperity of the last twenty years? |
14418 | It is all very well to say, how can it be helped? |
14418 | It''s very simple, is n''t it?" |
14418 | Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?'' |
14418 | May not the money spent in charity, create the distress it relieves,--besides creating other distress which it fails to relieve? |
14418 | Need we reiterate the blessings of this blessed economy?"] |
14418 | Of what use is it? |
14418 | She had her daily pint, and he, perhaps, had his two or three quarts, and neither interfered with the other? |
14418 | Some may inquire,"Who was Joseph Baxendale?" |
14418 | Some may say,"What use can a woman have for arithmetic?" |
14418 | Such is the power of_ a penny a day!_ Who would have thought it? |
14418 | The poorest men have done it; why should not every man do it? |
14418 | Things did very well, they say, in"the good old times,"--why should they not do so now? |
14418 | To be"respectable,"in the false sense of the word,--what is not sacrificed? |
14418 | To look out into the light through flowers-- is not that poetry? |
14418 | We may anxiously desire to do so, but the usual question will occur--"What will people say?" |
14418 | We often hear the cry raised,"Will nobody help us?" |
14418 | Weighed down by this, what can a man do to save-- to economise with a view to the future of his wife and children? |
14418 | Were they saving it for a rainy day; or, when the"roaring times"no longer existed, were they preparing to fall back upon the poor- rates? |
14418 | What can a wife and her children think of an intemperate husband and father? |
14418 | What can be more delicious than the sun''s light streaming through flowers-- through the midst of crimson fuchsias or scarlet geraniums? |
14418 | What can it buy? |
14418 | What hope can there be for a people whose only maxim seems to be,"Let us eat and drink, for to- morrow we die"? |
14418 | What is it especially that we are honouring? |
14418 | What is the cause of the difference between them? |
14418 | What is the consequence? |
14418 | What is the science of Political Economy, but a dull sermon on this text?" |
14418 | What is the use of that little piece of copper-- a solitary penny? |
14418 | What is the verdict of society in such cases? |
14418 | What is"a visiting connection"? |
14418 | What matters it? |
14418 | What prevents them rising? |
14418 | What proportion of one''s income should be expended on rent? |
14418 | What should we think of one who had_ invented_ flowers; supposing that, before him, flowers were unknown? |
14418 | What though the penny be black? |
14418 | What were man, what were life, what were civilization, without labour? |
14418 | What were the popular amusements of the people a hundred years ago? |
14418 | When Goldsmith was dunned for his milk- score and arrested for the rent of his apartments, who would think of pitying the milk- woman or the landlady? |
14418 | When I go home from my labour, what do I find? |
14418 | When Sheridan had breakfasted, he would come down, and ask,"Are those doors all shut, John?" |
14418 | Where are now the"happy humble swains"and the"gentle shepherds"of the old English poets? |
14418 | Where will you find the perfect woman now? |
14418 | Where would England have been now, but for the energy, enterprise, and public spirit of our manufacturers? |
14418 | Where, oh where, has this gentle shepherd gone? |
14418 | Who have helped the world onward so much as the workers; men who have had to work for necessity or from choice? |
14418 | Who knows of him now? |
14418 | Who will be frugal and provident, when charity offers all that frugality and providence can confer? |
14418 | Why could one live in abundance where another starved? |
14418 | Why could this labourer do with ease a task that would kill his fellow? |
14418 | Why is it that a man- cook is always better than a woman- cook? |
14418 | Why not hang up a picture in the room? |
14418 | Why not have some elegance in even the humblest home? |
14418 | Why should he not be like a gentleman? |
14418 | Why should not his house be like my house? |
14418 | Why should not these men spend their wages as I spend my small stipend, in intellectual pleasures, in joining with my family in intellectual pursuits? |
14418 | Why should not you find the same happy influences at home? |
14418 | Why should other people provide for them in old age, more than for any other class of labourers? |
14418 | Why should they not respect themselves and each other? |
14418 | Why should we save?" |
14418 | Why should we work? |
14418 | Why, in similar dwellings, were the children of one parent healthy, of another puny and ailing? |
14418 | Why, then, is not sanitary science universally adopted and enforced? |
14418 | Why? |
14418 | With respect to the poorer classes,--what has become of them in the midst of our so- called civilization? |
14418 | Would he be really free? |
14418 | Would he not be regarded as the opener- up of a paradise of new delight? |
14418 | Would rights wash your children''s faces, and mend the holes in your clothes? |
14418 | Would your rights make you or your wife, thriftier, or your hearthstone cleaner? |
14418 | said he, with half a sneer:"Has''t got a fortun'', wench?" |
14418 | should we not hail the inventor as a genius, as a god? |
22177 | How are you going to obtain it? 22177 What more,"asks Micah,"doth the Lord require of thee than to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" |
22177 | What''s in a name? |
22177 | And have we not taught representative institutions to the world? |
22177 | And if disunion, the true mark of error, be at work among them, can we believe that the future is reserved for it? |
22177 | And what has been the effect of such teaching on humanity? |
22177 | And what is it which governs the will of man? |
22177 | And where were they, and what were they doing? |
22177 | And why not? |
22177 | And, if so, how is such a_ volta face_ in nature explicable on purely mechanical grounds, even if the process itself were so explicable? |
22177 | And, if such be the case, in what sense is God"unknown"? |
22177 | And, now, how many of the human family are enrolled as"citizens of the holy places"; what numbers assemble for worship in the great cathedral? |
22177 | And, now, what is the truth about the"judgment to come"? |
22177 | Are men and women to be decimated by consumption in the poisoned atmosphere of some of our factories? |
22177 | Are we asked for further evidence of this position? |
22177 | Are we asked for the supreme object of religion? |
22177 | Because man came thence? |
22177 | But are we to conclude therefrom that conscience is nothing more than a product of organic evolution? |
22177 | But does any one propose to alter the moral law for them? |
22177 | But does any one really suppose that the natural order of the phenomena has been altered at the request of the clergy by an Almighty mind? |
22177 | But how is it that in this epistle he comes to be designated as a priest at all? |
22177 | But how is it that things are so ordered? |
22177 | But how is such training possible, except through the unceasing watchfulness of the parents''? |
22177 | But how much better is man than many animals, and what is merely instinctive in them shall not he consciously obey as his acknowledged law of life? |
22177 | But of what God? |
22177 | But what are we to say to such testimonies? |
22177 | But what had religion done for France in the hour of her trial? |
22177 | But what is the faculty which corresponds to the word conscience? |
22177 | But what of the alleged answers to prayers which are held to establish its efficacy? |
22177 | But where does history record the act of any religious leaders of those times denouncing war as contrary to the gospel of Christ and of reason alike? |
22177 | Could any one seriously propose to erect feeling into a supreme criterion whereby to judge of the conduct of life? |
22177 | Does not the fiction of the day represent a tendency to allow an increased laxity in the interpretation of the matrimonial contract? |
22177 | Even of the comparatively few in the vast family of humanity who own its supremacy, how many can repeat its shibboleths in common? |
22177 | For what does his famous law amount to? |
22177 | For whence this sublime law of life unless we conceive mind, not blind chance, as the arbiter of things? |
22177 | For where is God revealed as_ worshipful_ except in the lives of the great and good? |
22177 | Has he not convinced Protestant clergymen and other learned people? |
22177 | Has he not the solid earth and the realm of sense? |
22177 | Has not some of the sublimest verse been Nature poetry? |
22177 | Has not the time come to begin anew; to reconstruct, to reorganise society? |
22177 | Has the time come to reconsider our position with regard to marriage and the permanent obligations hitherto associated with it? |
22177 | Have we ever sufficiently reflected that the purely negative philosophy has done nothing for idealism in any shape or form? |
22177 | Helbeck, it is plain, can never win Laura, but can Laura ever hope to win Helbeck? |
22177 | How can he? |
22177 | How can we explain this? |
22177 | How can we hold one intelligence to know and another to originate them? |
22177 | How is he dogmatically certain of that one thing, while all the rest is in a haze? |
22177 | How shall not man, then, be better than many economical laws? |
22177 | How, we ask, in wondering gratitude, did the world ever escape the tyranny of such superstition? |
22177 | However that may be, what answer is forthcoming to the retort which the phenomena of to- day unmistakably suggest? |
22177 | If the Deity is inhuman, why should man be otherwise? |
22177 | If their practices were but a shadow of the horrors he was supposed to be everlastingly inflicting on mankind, who could raise a protest against them? |
22177 | In what, indeed? |
22177 | Is a stone, a star, a heaven studded with infinite glories, a greater place than your eternal soul? |
22177 | Is conscience a development of the cosmic process? |
22177 | Is it indeed so? |
22177 | Is it not true that there are murmurs and mutterings of revolt both amongst men and women against a burden too grievous to be borne? |
22177 | Is it urged that religion apart from a belief in God is an impossibility? |
22177 | Is not the man more than the meat, and the body more than the raiment? |
22177 | Is not the soldier hero, the military chieftain, the idol of all mankind? |
22177 | Is the criterion of conduct in the custody of the scientific experimenter? |
22177 | Is the matchbox- maker to go on for ever turning out a gross for 2 1/4d., providing her own paste and string? |
22177 | Is there any answer conceivable but that the power responsible for the world is a moral power? |
22177 | Is there any god in the wastes of infinity, in a sunstar, a swarm of worlds, who is not in that miraculous soul of yours? |
22177 | Is there aught anywhere greater than a son of God? |
22177 | Is this mysticism? |
22177 | Must this false teaching indeed go on for ever? |
22177 | Now what has experimental science to say about the conscience? |
22177 | Now, what is this new controversy? |
22177 | Now, whence did he learn this strange teaching? |
22177 | Or, how are we to explain the appearance of so strange a visitant in a universe which is dominated by the"struggle for existence"? |
22177 | Shall man be juster than his God? |
22177 | The commanding voice is heard throughout the ages, and men will, men must, ask: Who is it-- what is it that spoke? |
22177 | The question is, which conforms to type, the old or the modern English Catholic? |
22177 | Then what else is left to inspire to us? |
22177 | There is a philosophy in language however much we continue to ask,"What''s in a name?" |
22177 | This my Begetter? |
22177 | To begin, then, whence arose the idea of a priest? |
22177 | Was there ever such a suggestion? |
22177 | We are Divine by nature, by what other law of life should we live? |
22177 | Well does the ethic master say,"What is the use of affecting indifference towards that about which the mind of man never can be indifferent?" |
22177 | Well, but the ordering of things, the ordaining of a course of things, what is this but the work of intelligence? |
22177 | What are we to say of lives such as those of Gotama, Socrates and Christ? |
22177 | What can not, what shall not man under such circumstances accomplish? |
22177 | What god are you praying to, we ask in dismay, when you lift up your hands and your eyes, or turn to east or west, or kneel or lie? |
22177 | What has philosophy, creed or council to say to that high and ennobling conception? |
22177 | What have they taught you? |
22177 | What hope of answer or redress? |
22177 | What is a government to do then? |
22177 | What is a prophet? |
22177 | What is it that governs the reason? |
22177 | What is it that governs the world of phenomena outside us? |
22177 | What is it? |
22177 | What is that event? |
22177 | What is the attitude of a human and ethical religion towards that characteristic manifestation of piety which we call prayer? |
22177 | What is the ethical equivalent of"hell fire"? |
22177 | What is the meaning of the word? |
22177 | What is the very concept of law, or system, but a metaphysical idea? |
22177 | What on earth can we be searching for when the"candle of the Lord,"as Locke called it, is the very illuminant we must employ in our search? |
22177 | What one would like to ask is this: Do these credulous people suppose that the event would have been otherwise, had the young candidate not prayed? |
22177 | What picture does man make for himself of the force of gravitation, nay of the force which drives the crocuses out of the soil in spring? |
22177 | What, then, are these Catholic, Protestant, Mohammedan and Buddhist religions? |
22177 | What, then, is morality_ in se_ apart from its history? |
22177 | What, we ask, is there to cheer the heart in the Thirty- nine Articles, the Vatican decrees, or the Westminster Confession? |
22177 | Whence is existence itself but from the subsistent source of all being? |
22177 | Whence is intelligence but from the world''s Soul, which is the soul of men? |
22177 | Whence is life but from one ever- lasting source? |
22177 | Whence these uniformities of approbation and disapprobation? |
22177 | Whence this constraining power within me, exerting itself to the uttermost to win my allegiance to the right, unless I am free to obey or disobey? |
22177 | Where and what are these men now? |
22177 | Where did Jesus''spirit go on his death? |
22177 | Where is limbo, and where is purgatory? |
22177 | Where the god has no sense of justice, why should man? |
22177 | Where were heaven and hell in the new version astronomy gave of things? |
22177 | Whither did he go when he ascended bodily into the air? |
22177 | Whither have they led you? |
22177 | Whose duty shall it be to perform such rites? |
22177 | Why not a poor, untutored girl such as her? |
22177 | Why not? |
22177 | Why not? |
22177 | Why not? |
22177 | Why should he seek what is beyond it? |
22177 | Why should not these two pass out of each other''s lives, as do numberless others who realise the mistake of their projected union? |
22177 | Why, then, do not all Christians turn Helbecks? |
22177 | Yes, but with what nature? |
22177 | [ 5] What we ask, then, is precisely this: Was Jesus a priest in this sense? |
22177 | a week and pay lodging and keep a family out of it? |
22177 | but whence has it power to command me, even in the sanctuary of my deepest solitude, in the loneliness of my silent thoughts? |
22177 | the intellectual element in religion requires some one to express it, and this, in some form or other, will be the clergy"? |
22177 | the whole world has gone after him?" |
56306 | Cigars? |
56306 | Does he think he can change our opinions by that silly act? |
56306 | Got who? |
56306 | How are you getting along with it? |
56306 | What man? |
56306 | What shall I say, brave Admir''l, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn? |
56306 | What''s the use? |
56306 | Where are you going in such a hurry? |
56306 | Where is he? |
56306 | Why not leave well enough alone? 56306 --save the mark-- as some students do? 56306 2. Who could ever resist the radiating influences of a Mark Tapley, such as Dickens so vividly pictures? 56306 A light? 56306 Afraid of men, of starvation, of opposition, of censure, of hatred, of ostracism? 56306 Again I ask, How can we? 56306 Am I doing anything to pass on these high inspirations to endeavor and ambition? 56306 And how can I do other than radiate a large and tremendous discontent at the suffering and woe of the unfortunates of life? 56306 And the bars of gold that build the porch of heaven? 56306 And when we remember, why should we not wish, instead of adding to their burdens, to lighten or help remove them? 56306 And whom will he serve? 56306 And why should not old age be the best part of life? 56306 Are men, women, and innocent children to bedamned"on this earth-- as well as in the future-- because morally they have been weak and unfortunate? |
56306 | Are you a man, a woman, a human soul, made in the image of God and given powers of thought, of discernment, of decision? |
56306 | Are you perfect? |
56306 | Are you radiating such courage so that your children feel it? |
56306 | Are you using them now? |
56306 | Are yours alert for all the sweet, the pleasant, the comforting, the joyous, the sublime sounds that might come to them now? |
56306 | As he rose to go, he said,"What can I do for you to show my gratitude for what you have done for me?" |
56306 | As to being afraid of men, why should one man ever be afraid of another? |
56306 | Brave Admir''l, say but one good word: What shall we do when hope is gone?" |
56306 | Brave Admir''l, speak; what shall I say?" |
56306 | Browning in his_ Prospice_ opens with the bold and daring interrogative:"Fear death?" |
56306 | But does this make him lose heart, or cease to work for the new cases that come? |
56306 | But you ask: How am I to know this moral multiplication table? |
56306 | CHAPTER XX RADIANCIES OF THE"ETERNAL NOW"Is there any past, any future, in our lives? |
56306 | Can I harmonize them all? |
56306 | Can I ignore the degradation of their debauchery? |
56306 | Can we not learn as the years roll along? |
56306 | Can we not try to feel it? |
56306 | Can we play fast and loose with eternal principles? |
56306 | Can you imagine a man like Muir ever having wanted to engage in such a disgraceful and degrading scene? |
56306 | Can you imagine the results? |
56306 | Did he? |
56306 | Did you never meet with such people who were always bright and sunny, who always gave forth a cheery word, always radiated optimism? |
56306 | Do I agree with them all? |
56306 | Do I attempt to reconcile them? |
56306 | Do we grow more foolish as we grow old? |
56306 | Do you read simply to say that you have read, to be able to give expression to the usual fashionable gabble on so- called"current literature"? |
56306 | Do you see the thought? |
56306 | Do you think Muir had anything of that kind in mind when he said he wanted to go to college? |
56306 | Do you try to keep up with all the latest books? |
56306 | Do you want to be a slave to your own purpose? |
56306 | Do you want to_ do_ the things that you have willed to do? |
56306 | Do you? |
56306 | Does experience count for nothing? |
56306 | Does he feel slighted, hurt, neglected? |
56306 | Edison?" |
56306 | From what laboratory does it extract those exquisitely delicate and delicious odors? |
56306 | From whence does it gain those delicate tints, tones, and colors? |
56306 | From you, reader? |
56306 | Granted there are pleasures in the ballroom, and they are doubtless great, but can they begin to compare with the delights of out- of- doors? |
56306 | Have you experienced these blessings in the air? |
56306 | Have you felt these benedictions in the dew? |
56306 | Have you seen the exquisite robes of the lilies? |
56306 | Have you seen the ships of gold sailing through the silver seas? |
56306 | How about the doctrine of the brotherhood of man? |
56306 | How can I be cheerful when I am out of work and sick and have no friends?" |
56306 | How could he, the poor and humble shepherd lad, ever hope to see and know these people? |
56306 | How could she be otherwise? |
56306 | How dare we? |
56306 | How does it shape all that beauty? |
56306 | How shall one know it when he sees it? |
56306 | How then can I best radiate the inspiration for growth in them? |
56306 | How_ can_ we? |
56306 | How_ dare_ we? |
56306 | I swam,--why should not they? |
56306 | If I look back upon the past, or anticipate the future, whether with joy or pleasure, do I not do it in the_ now_? |
56306 | If evil, why? |
56306 | If good, am I radiating as much as I might and should?" |
56306 | If so, from whom shall I gain good? |
56306 | If we can do so much better than those we criticise, why, in the name of heaven and suffering humanity, do we not go ahead and do it? |
56306 | Is a good start all that is needed? |
56306 | Is he a moral hero who taboos such subjects, who refrains from discussing them in the pulpit because they are not"gospel"subjects? |
56306 | Is he a true man who waits, pauses, hesitates, wavers in such conflicts,"till the judgment hath passed by"? |
56306 | Is it clear? |
56306 | Is it not better consciously to radiate that which you wish than unconsciously( or thoughtlessly) to radiate that which you do not wish? |
56306 | Is it not glorious to live in such a realm of high spiritual courage? |
56306 | Is it only a walk of ten blocks( or five) to the store, or office, or school? |
56306 | Is it the tender star of love? |
56306 | Is not this a quality of soul to be highly desired? |
56306 | Is the moon in the heavens dimming the stars but flooding the earth with dream- light? |
56306 | Is there no infallible, certain, sure way of doing things? |
56306 | It is a great temptation when I come into the presence of such people to ask,"What is your price?" |
56306 | Joaquin Miller expresses the same thought in his beautiful and strong poem on Father Damien when he says: Why do ye not as he has done? |
56306 | La Farge? |
56306 | Like the aimless, helpless, hopeless, did I drivel-- Being-- who? |
56306 | Now, here is the crucial question-- How can you know that you are right? |
56306 | Now, what can I do?" |
56306 | Of learning things? |
56306 | Or are you a mere puppet to be worked by the string of other men''s thoughts, other men''s ideas, other men''s opinions? |
56306 | Or are you like the"fools and blind"who will sit at a Boston Symphony concert and gabble gossip or retail slander? |
56306 | Or is the sky dark and lowering with black clouds so that you can see nothing as yet? |
56306 | Post 8vo 1.50 IS SHAKESPEARE DEAD? |
56306 | Reader, what are you radiating? |
56306 | Reid? |
56306 | Shall I be any the less a man than they? |
56306 | Shall I cease to be his friend, in order to protect myself? |
56306 | Shall I have received so much, and then be craven and pass on so little?" |
56306 | Shall I hesitate to render service because I myself am not perfect? |
56306 | Shall I refuse to accept good except from those who are perfect? |
56306 | Shall I refuse to give the shivering and hungry beggar on the street a twenty- five cent meal ticket because I myself am not free from debt? |
56306 | Shall I refuse to guide the lost wayfarer because I myself do not know all the winding pathways of life? |
56306 | Shall we ignore the evil and see only the good? |
56306 | Shall we ignore the good and see only the evil? |
56306 | Should not such men hear the gospel plainly and without equivocation? |
56306 | That they are influenced by it? |
56306 | The hindrance to life of smug and ignorant contentment, the dwarfing power of self- complacent assurance, who can tell? |
56306 | The main test of any system of religion or code of life is: Does it work? |
56306 | The questions, then, that every true- hearted man and woman must, and will, ask are:"Am I radiating good or evil? |
56306 | The star of love and dreams? |
56306 | The whole question thus resolves itself to me: Shall I refuse to accept the good of certain men because they do many evil things? |
56306 | Then the questions I constantly ask myself are:"What are you doing to add to these liberties to hand on to future ages? |
56306 | Therefore why should he be afraid? |
56306 | They passed; they sat a grass- set hill-- What king hath carpets like to this? |
56306 | Tintoretto? |
56306 | Titian? |
56306 | To do unconsciously? |
56306 | To eat and drink, sleep and satisfy our appetites and then die like other mere animals who do the same thing? |
56306 | To_ be_ unconsciously? |
56306 | Turner? |
56306 | Velasquez? |
56306 | What are we here for? |
56306 | What chance do I have of exercising moral courage?" |
56306 | What colorist of earth can ever equal them? |
56306 | What do_ you_ want to be? |
56306 | What does starvation of the body mean to the man whose soul is uplifted into the presence of the Most High? |
56306 | What grander sight could you ask for? |
56306 | What had we to do with dignity? |
56306 | What is fashion, anyhow? |
56306 | What is it? |
56306 | What is one failure or ten, to one success or ten? |
56306 | What is religion? |
56306 | What is the purpose, the object of life? |
56306 | What is the result in many cases? |
56306 | What sense, what manliness, what dignity, is there in allowing a"fashion- designer"to thus have the opportunity of ruining our health? |
56306 | What shall I radiate to such a man-- to all such men? |
56306 | What should be our mental attitude toward those who give such conflicting radiancies? |
56306 | What though oftentimes the people who dwell in these places are brought thither by their own misconduct? |
56306 | What was the result? |
56306 | What will you do if this fails? |
56306 | What would become of the chick in the egg if the mother hen did not brood over it? |
56306 | What, then, is the upshot of the whole matter? |
56306 | Whence came this radiant courage and power? |
56306 | Whence comes true art? |
56306 | Who can not see that such a man is a fool? |
56306 | Who has kept them in bondage so long? |
56306 | Who has not been thrilled with the doings of the live- saving service, and the lighthouse keepers? |
56306 | Who has not seen the keen readiness of a horse to"sense"the mental condition of the man who was driving him? |
56306 | Who is to give it? |
56306 | Who won these charters of our liberty? |
56306 | Who would not like thus to fill up the mind and the soul with such wonderful facts and beautiful truths deduced therefrom? |
56306 | Who would not observe in this fashion? |
56306 | Who would not reign in such a realm? |
56306 | Who would think of learning anything from the mists? |
56306 | Whose fault is it? |
56306 | Why does the wind blow so fiercely? |
56306 | Why is it that this_ ignis fatuus_ has such power of allurement? |
56306 | Why let fashion dictate what we shall wear? |
56306 | Why not especially radiate cheerfulness to the fullest possible extent to those who have less of this world''s goods than ourselves? |
56306 | Why not help them bear the burdens of life by your radiant optimism? |
56306 | Why run the risk? |
56306 | Why should fashion ride rough- shod over the wisdom of men and women? |
56306 | Why should we be afraid to lose a few cents, when our hands are filled with diamonds, and rubies, and pearls, and nuggets of gold? |
56306 | Why should we ever have yielded to them? |
56306 | Why should we fear men, when we have the courage of our convictions? |
56306 | Why waste words asking the questions? |
56306 | Why will men rely more upon written words than upon the flashes of illuminated truth that come to their own souls? |
56306 | Why? |
56306 | Why? |
56306 | You have received freely; how are you giving? |
56306 | You may ask,"Why with stronger fervor?" |
56306 | and then, if the soldier were a stranger, he would ask:"Do you use tobacco?" |
39551 | Am I my brother''s keeper? |
39551 | Thou art the man,of Nathan to David,"Hast thou killed, and also taken possession?" |
39551 | What is good? |
39551 | What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own life? |
39551 | [ 52] Another suggestion of the book is that evil comes to prove man''s sincerity:Does Job serve God for naught?" |
39551 | [ 60] Is not serving God for hire a form of prostitution? 39551 [ 66] And if I decide that the crooked way is the easier, why shall I not follow it? |
39551 | [ 72]= Plato''s Ideal State.=--How then is the State constituted and governed which is to provide for man''s full development, his complete good? 39551 ( 1) Does individualism provide for real as well as formal freedom? 39551 ( 1) What is the Good, the end in any voluntary act? 39551 ( 2) Does it distribute the benefits widely or to the few? 39551 ( 2) How is this good known? 39551 ( 3) When the good is known, how is it_ acknowledged_; how does it acquire authority? 39551 ( 4) What is the place of selfhood in the moral process? 39551 ( b) It emphasized the_ personal interest_, the affective or emotional side of conduct, and made the moral problem take the form,What is the good?" |
39551 | ( b) What is the difference between the morally good and the morally bad in the self? |
39551 | 376; ambiguity of term selfish, 377; are results selfish? |
39551 | = Ambiguity in the Conception.=--Is self- realization the end? |
39551 | = Why Obey Laws?=--And if laws and social codes are but class legislation, conventional, why obey them? |
39551 | All men are equal before God; why should one man assume to command another because of birth? |
39551 | An analogy with a political problem may aid: Has a nation the right to exclude( or tax heavily) goods or persons from other countries? |
39551 | And if he sells his stock at the market price to invest the money elsewhere, is it not still the price of fraud or blood? |
39551 | And if so, how? |
39551 | And the lover of honor,--what will be his opinion? |
39551 | And there are three kinds of pleasure, which are their several objects? |
39551 | And this question assumes two forms:( a) What is the relation of the good of the self to the good of others? |
39551 | And to the inevitable inquiry"What then is the law of reason?" |
39551 | Are not other results, playing with other boys, convivial companionship, which are reached more easily and pleasantly, really more valuable? |
39551 | Are our present rules adequate to such a situation as that of the present? |
39551 | Are we not justified in suspecting a person''s good faith when his good intentions uniformly bring suffering to others? |
39551 | But does it follow that such men are moved_ merely_ by the thought of gain to themselves? |
39551 | But granting that nature is rightful master, is"nature"to be sought in the primitive beginnings, or in the fullest development? |
39551 | But how do we know which faculty_ is_ higher, and hence what satisfaction is more valuable? |
39551 | But people may ask, what is the motive in this? |
39551 | But what are the consequences by which we determine anything to be good or bad? |
39551 | But what if there are no gods? |
39551 | But what is his due? |
39551 | But where shall such adults be found, and where is the social order so good that it is capable of right training of its own immature members? |
39551 | But who is now so simple as to suppose that the"shepherds"fatten or tend the sheep with a view to the good of the sheep, and not to their own good? |
39551 | But why is it counterfeit? |
39551 | Can material goods be so produced and distributed as to promote this democratic ideal? |
39551 | Can the result, then, be just or fair? |
39551 | Can we measure it by his past alone; or is it due every one to regard him as a man with a future as well? |
39551 | Could it be imagined that man could know his own good and yet not seek it? |
39551 | Do society''s present methods of industry, commerce, art, and education distribute these goods in a just manner? |
39551 | Does a man, or even an institution, act morally if he invests in such corporations in which he finds himself helpless as an individual stockholder? |
39551 | Does it distribute them justly or unjustly? |
39551 | Does it make a difference whether the union is open to all, or whether the dues are fixed so high as to limit the membership? |
39551 | Does the institution in its present form promote the good of those who have no property as well as of those who have it, or only of those who own? |
39551 | Does the phrase refer to their conscious and express intent? |
39551 | Does the process tend to a broad and general distribution of goods in return for services rendered, or to make"the rich richer and the poor poorer?" |
39551 | First of all, we may fairly ask of a process, Does it give to each member the kind of service needed by him? |
39551 | For example:"May I, when in distress, make a promise with the intention not to keep it?... |
39551 | For on what principle of justice did Xerxes invade Hellas, or his father the Scythians? |
39551 | He can hardly avoid admitting this,--can he now? |
39551 | Hence, if this is the good, why should a man trouble himself about social standards or social obligations? |
39551 | Hosea''s wife had forsaken him, and should not the love of people to Jehovah be as personal and sincere as that of wife to husband? |
39551 | How are_ they_ affected by the way in which some one activity is exercised? |
39551 | How can morality be expected to improve when the fundamental agency and method of business and industry is contradictory to morality? |
39551 | How can such a thing as"duty"exist at all? |
39551 | How can that which makes an intention make no difference to it, and to the act which proceeds from it? |
39551 | How do we break out of this empty circle into specific knowledge of the specific right things to be done? |
39551 | How far may one enjoy the goods of life in an exclusive way and how far is it his duty to share with others? |
39551 | How far may the union combine with the capitalist to raise prices to the consumer? |
39551 | How far shall it serve a limited group, the union, at the expense of other workers in the same trade-- non- unionists? |
39551 | How many in the fulfillment of the intention to remain at home with one''s family and secure profitable contracts from the government? |
39551 | How many units of pleasure are contained in the fulfillment of the intention to go to war for one''s country? |
39551 | How shall one set be measured over against the other? |
39551 | How shall the pains involved in each set be detected and have their exact numerical force assigned them? |
39551 | How would such a rule apply itself to any particular case which needed to be judged? |
39551 | If I go to the water fall, shall I go over the moor or take the path through the wood? |
39551 | If all men are accounted equal in the State, why not in wealth? |
39551 | If land is monopolized by a few who can levy a toll upon all the rest of society, how can justice obtain? |
39551 | If pleasure is the good, and if all desire is naturally for the good, why should desire have to be constrained? |
39551 | If so, is this fair to the boys or unskilled laborers who would like to enter? |
39551 | If this was the result of"free contract,"what further proof was necessary that"freedom"was a mere empty term-- a name with no reality? |
39551 | If we do not question his good faith, do we not regard him as needing moral enlightenment, and a change of disposition? |
39551 | If wealth and gain were the criterion, then what the lover of gain praised and blamed would surely be the truest? |
39551 | In economic terms, Does it produce the kinds of goods which society needs and desires? |
39551 | Is any better than experience and wisdom and reason? |
39551 | Is it because the moral law, the law of reason, requires it? |
39551 | Is it directly perceived, and if so, how? |
39551 | Is it for the sake of the resulting happiness? |
39551 | Is it, after all, so important, so desirable? |
39551 | Is the number of property- owners increasing or diminishing? |
39551 | Is there any intrinsic moral connection between the_ mental_ and the_ overt_ in activity? |
39551 | Is this an inevitable dilemma? |
39551 | It Makes Morality Really Important.=--Would there be any use or sense in moral acts if they did not tend to promote welfare, individual and social? |
39551 | It is not so much"How many goods can be produced?" |
39551 | Just what is the process by which we judge of the worth of particular proposals, plans, courses of actions, desires? |
39551 | Let this continue, and how long will the former stay in the field? |
39551 | May it maintain a"closed shop"? |
39551 | Micah''s"Shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?" |
39551 | Must we either recognize no moral differences in men, or else be more merciless than the old orthodox doctrine of hereditary or imputed guilt? |
39551 | Of if honor or victory or courage, in that case the ambitions or contentments would decide best? |
39551 | On the other hand, indicating the supremacy of the voluntary attitude over consequences, we have,"What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
39551 | Or is it worked out through inquiry and reflection? |
39551 | Or shall there be other rules for division-- either made and enforced by society or made by the individual and enforced by his own conscience? |
39551 | Or to put the same thing from another angle: if the family and the modern movement toward equality are at variance, which ought to give way? |
39551 | Says James:[125]"What constitutes the difficulty for a man laboring under an unwise passion acting as if the passion were unwise?... |
39551 | Shall I walk to the water fall today? |
39551 | Shall all share alike? |
39551 | Shall every one keep what he can get? |
39551 | Shall he agree to a higher price at which all can do business, or insist on the lower which benefits the consumer and also himself? |
39551 | Shall the apprentices be limited to keep up the wage by limiting the supply? |
39551 | Shall the hours be reduced and wages raised as high as possible, or is there a"fair"standard-- fair to both consumer and laborer? |
39551 | Shall the owner have it all, or shall the community have it all, or shall there be a division? |
39551 | Should a man be allowed to transmit all his property to his heirs, or should it be in part reserved by society? |
39551 | Should there be any limit to the amount of land or other property which an individual or corporation may own? |
39551 | Suppose, then, the question is raised, How can we make a just distribution? |
39551 | The Values of Art and Industry.=--Are all these wider interests and fuller powers good? |
39551 | The appeal is to himself; what does_ he_ really think the desirable end? |
39551 | The gods were supposed to reward the good and punish the evil,[64] but how could this be reconciled with their practices? |
39551 | The question is then this: does the family necessarily involve inequality, or can it be maintained on a basis of equality? |
39551 | The question rather is,_ How far are these very political, religious, and other aspects implicitly moral_? |
39551 | The same final standard of value appears in the question of Jesus,"What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own life?" |
39551 | They already make him wince: how long will he sit listening to the fairy- tales of his boyhood and shrink from manhood''s task?" |
39551 | They were the challenge of the Adversary,"Doth Job fear God for naught?" |
39551 | This change in apparent worth raises a new question: Is the aim first set up of the value it seemed to be? |
39551 | This is the question finally at stake in any genuinely moral situation: What shall the agent_ be_? |
39551 | Well, but what ought to be the criterion? |
39551 | What are the distinctive problems which must be dealt with in the course of such a discussion? |
39551 | What are their rational origin, place, and function? |
39551 | What are virtues and vices as dispositions of the self? |
39551 | What do good and bad mean as terms of voluntary behavior? |
39551 | What does it mean to say that one pleasure, as an external and future fact, is equal to another? |
39551 | What influence can the small shareholders in a railway company, or a great industrial corporation, or labor union, have? |
39551 | What is that? |
39551 | What is the essence of well- being? |
39551 | What is the good which while good in direct enjoyment also brings with it fuller and more continuous life? |
39551 | What is the nature of the genuine article? |
39551 | What is the place of_ law_, of control, in the moral life? |
39551 | What is the principle in this case? |
39551 | What kind of public wealth should be given into absolute control of private individuals or impersonal corporations? |
39551 | What makes the supreme appeal to him? |
39551 | What principle can be employed to adjust such a question? |
39551 | What relevancy has the quantitative comparison to a judgment of moral worth? |
39551 | What sort of a character shall he assume? |
39551 | What sort of an agent, of a person, shall he be? |
39551 | What then are the differentiating traits, the special earmarks, presented by the situation which we identify as distinctively moral? |
39551 | What was to be cleared up? |
39551 | What, if anything, can justify a nation or smaller group from excluding others from its benefits? |
39551 | What, then, are the virtues? |
39551 | When do we assume that so far as the will was concerned it did aim at the result and aimed at it thoroughly, without evasion and without reservation? |
39551 | Which shall he decide for, and why? |
39551 | Why does the person aim at perfection? |
39551 | Why? |

39551 | as"Who is to get them?" |
39551 | i.e., shall reason form the standard as well as apply it? |
39551 | in a life of isolation, or in a life of society? |
39551 | in the desires and passions, or in reason and a harmonious life? |
39551 | or is wisdom itself a good, and is it better to satisfy certain impulses rather than others? |
39551 | or to their objective results when put into operation, irrespective of explicit desire and aim? |

17201 | ''_ What shall we do to be saved?_''men are again crying. |
17201 | ''_ What then are the alternative pleasures that life offers_ me? |
17201 | Am I guilty, and must I seek repentance? |

17201 | And do not they check the latter by being thus bound up with it?_''But what really can be more misleading than this? |
17201 | And for what reason? |
17201 | And has not it so been followed? |
17201 | And have we still some right to that reverence that we have learnt to cherish for ourselves? |
17201 | And if so, to what extent does it? |
17201 | And is every hope that has hitherto nerved our lives, melting at last away from us, utterly and for ever? |
17201 | And what is the result on Romanism? |
17201 | And what, as a natural religion, is its working power in the world? |
17201 | And what, let us again ask, will this worth, be? |
17201 | And when it is got, what will it be like? |
17201 | And when shall that be? |
17201 | And will it, when we have found it, be found to merit all the praise that is bestowed upon it? |
17201 | And will the''_ gladness of true heroism_''visit him if he proclaims it to everyone in his club? |
17201 | And would not man''s history strike more clearly on us as the ghastly embodiment of a vast injustice? |

17201 | But granting all this, what does this do for her? |
17201 | But here comes the point at issue-- What is this general good, and what is included by it? |
17201 | But how is he to do this? |
17201 | But if not material, what are they, acting on matter, and yet distinct from matter? |
17201 | But in what aspect of this does the real tragedy lie? |
17201 | But that first decision-- how shall we make it? |
17201 | But we might ask with exactly equal force, what is the good of true physical science, and why should we try to impress on the world its teachings? |

17201 | But when men choose vice instead of virtue, what is happening? |
17201 | But why? |
17201 | But why? |
17201 | But why? |
17201 | Can human life, cut off utterly from every hope beyond itself-- can human life supply it? |
17201 | Can we still resolve to say,''I believe, although it is impossible''? |
17201 | Do our exact thinkers in the least know what they are prophesying? |
17201 | Do the''_ perceptions_,''which are for him the only valid guides, tell him so? |
17201 | Do they mean that that''_ heathen_''and''_ gross_''conception of an immaterial soul is probably after all the true one? |
17201 | Does any positive method of experience or observation so much as tend to suggest it? |
17201 | Does it do more than present her to us as the toughest and most fortunate religion, out of many co- ordinate and competing ones? |
17201 | Does it tend in any way to set her on a different platform from the others? |
17201 | Does the general reverence with which life is at present regarded rest in any degree upon any similar misconception? |
17201 | Does this logically go any way whatever towards discrediting its claims? |
17201 | Does water think or feel when it runs into frost- ferns upon a window pane? |
17201 | Has Professor Huxley, for instance, ever enjoyed it himself, or does he ever hope to do so? |
17201 | Have the secrets of the prison- house really been revealed to Canon Farrar or Mr. Beresford Hope?... |
17201 | Have we been hitherto deceived in ourselves, or have we not? |
17201 | Have we indeed some aims that we may still call high and holy-- still some aims that are more than transitory? |
17201 | Having made it, does he feel any consolation in the knowledge that it is the entire truth? |
17201 | His main difficulty is nothing more than this: How can an infinite will that rules everywhere, find room for a finite will not in harmony with itself? |
17201 | How far is the treasure incorruptible; and how far will our increasing knowledge act as moth and rust to it? |
17201 | How shall he make it most joyful? |
17201 | How shall we love? |
17201 | How then has physical science in the same way failed to upset morality? |
17201 | How will he make love? |
17201 | How will he spend his days? |
17201 | How, then, can an intimacy with this eternal criminal be an ennobling or a sacred thing? |
17201 | I, however, reject neither, and thus stand in the presence of two Incomprehensibles, instead of one Incomprehensible._''Now what does all this mean? |
17201 | IS LIFE WORTH LIVING? |
17201 | If God would have all men do His will, why should He place the knowledge of it within reach of such a small minority of them? |
17201 | If not, what is the meaning of their prophecy? |
17201 | If so, when, where, and how? |
17201 | If you can, you must trust me all in all; for the very first thing I declare to you is, I have never lied.__ Can you trust me thus far? |
17201 | In the first place, then, what is art? |
17201 | Indeed, does he not himself say so? |
17201 | Is Life Worth Living? |
17201 | Is it Human Nature as opposed to Nature?--Man as distinct from, and holier than, any individual men? |
17201 | Is it Nature? |
17201 | Is it Truth, then-- pure Truth for its own sake? |
17201 | Is it in human nature to make this sacrifice? |
17201 | Is it known only in brief moments of Neoplatonic ecstasy, to which all the acts of life should be stepping stones? |
17201 | Is it simply because the fact in question is the truth? |
17201 | Is it simply the product of the brain''s movement; or is the brain''s movement in any degree produced by it? |
17201 | Is it something brief, rapturous, and intermittent, as the language often used about it might seem to suggest to one? |
17201 | Is that solemn value a fact or fancy? |
17201 | Is the will strong enough to hold on through this baffling and monstrous world, and not to shrink back and bid the vision vanish? |
17201 | Is the will to assert our own moral nature-- our own birthright in eternity, strong enough to bear us on? |
17201 | Is there anything very high or very sacred in that discovery? |
17201 | Is this machinery self- moving, or is it, at least, modulated, if not moved, by some force other than itself? |
17201 | Is this majestic conception a true one, or is it a dream only, with no abiding substance? |
17201 | Is truth to be sought only because it conduces to happiness, or is happiness only to be sought for when it is based on truth? |
17201 | It comes long before, How much shall we love? |
17201 | Let us suspend this judgment for a moment, and what will become of these two dramas? |
17201 | Let us then make it quite plain, at starting, that when we ask''Is life worth living?'' |
17201 | Mallock''s"Is Life Worth Living?" |
17201 | May my body be likened to the temple of the Holy Ghost defiled? |
17201 | Need the answer we are speaking of be definite and universal? |
17201 | Now is such a happiness a reality or is it a myth? |
17201 | Now tell me, I beseech you tell me, is mine really the desperate state I have been taught to think it is? |
17201 | Now what is a code of morals, and why has the world any need of one? |
17201 | Now what is the cause and what the conditions of this change? |
17201 | Now what is there in common between Dr. Tyndall and the starry heavens, or that''_ power_''of which the starry heavens are the embodiment? |
17201 | Now what is this treasure-- this inward state of the heart? |
17201 | Now what on positive principles is the groundwork of this teaching? |
17201 | Now what shall we say to this? |
17201 | Now why is this? |
17201 | Now why should this be? |
17201 | Now, in producing this estimate, what is the chief faculty in us that they appeal to? |
17201 | Or are we indeed what we have been taught to think we are? |
17201 | Or supposing Mr. Stephen does love them, why is that love''_ lofty_''? |
17201 | Or, if they are, why is that any condemnation of them? |
17201 | Or, if we do condemn them, what else are we to praise? |
17201 | Our question is, What is the true happiness? |
17201 | Should the intellect of the world return to theism, will it ever again acknowledge a special revelation? |
17201 | Supposing science not to be inconsistent with theism, may not theism be inconsistent with morality? |
17201 | That as to whether consciousness is wholly a material thing or no, they_ will_ give no answer 237 But why are they in this state of suspense? |
17201 | The end had ceased to charm, and how could there ever again be any interest in the means? |
17201 | The first is, Why, when the air goes through them, are the organ- pipes resonant? |
17201 | The first question is,--How are these kindled, and what are they all about? |
17201 | The great question is, what shape finally will this dawning self- consciousness take? |
17201 | The only question for us is, is it curable or incurable? |
17201 | The question is what laws and what impetus are these? |
17201 | The question that I have to ask is, are they? |
17201 | The second is, What controls the mechanism by which the air is regulated-- a musician, or a revolving barrel? |
17201 | The second question is, What is it when connected? |
17201 | There are many practical rules for which it no doubt can do so; but will these rules correspond with what we mean by morals? |
17201 | They are asked, have we a soul, a will, and consequently any moral responsibility? |
17201 | This figure of human dreams has grown and grown in stature: does anything divine descend to it, and so much as touch its lips or its lifted hands? |
17201 | This first question is, Why should consciousness be connected with the brain at all? |
17201 | Was the discovery of the truth of his danger very glorious for the patient? |
17201 | What are we? |
17201 | What can obscure intellectual propositions,_''it is asked,''_ have to do with a religion of the heart? |
17201 | What do you offer me? |
17201 | What is its analysis, and why is it so precious? |
17201 | What is the use of bidding us? |
17201 | What is this free- will when it comes to use its tools? |
17201 | What must be done to get it, and what must be left undone? |
17201 | What shall I get? |
17201 | What shall it say, then, when assailed by the rational moralist? |
17201 | What shall we say of him, then, when he applies the argument in his own way? |
17201 | What sort of happiness shall I secure for others? |
17201 | What sort of morality do they find in it? |
17201 | What then has modern criticism accomplished on the Bible? |
17201 | What then will this change be? |
17201 | What then, let us ask the enthusiasts of humanity, will humanity be like in its ideally perfect state? |
17201 | What will he be like? |
17201 | What will he laugh at? |
17201 | What will he long for? |
17201 | What will he take pleasure in? |
17201 | What will it be like? |
17201 | What wonder then that they should have kept their condition to themselves? |
17201 | What, then, let us ask, is the nature of the belief? |
17201 | Where, then, is it? |
17201 | Who or what shall help us, or give us counsel? |
17201 | Why are they in this state of suspense? |
17201 | Why are they rank and steaming? |
17201 | Why should it be? |
17201 | Why should phenomena have two sides? |
17201 | Why should''_ harsh_''things be loveable? |
17201 | Why then should our positivists treat in this way the alleged immaterial part of consciousness? |
17201 | Why, let me ask him, should the truth be loved? |
17201 | Will it be worth having? |
17201 | Will it contain in it that negation of the supernatural which our positive assertions are at present supposed to necessitate? |
17201 | Will it fall to pieces before the breath of a larger knowledge? |
17201 | Will it incite men to virtues to which heaven could not incite them? |
17201 | Will not the dreams continue, when the reality has passed away? |
17201 | Would not the depth and the darkness of the shadow grow more portentous as the light grew brighter? |
17201 | _ In how many ways am_ I_ capable of feeling_ my_ existence a blessing? |
17201 | _ Low_ and_ lofty_--what has Mr. Stephen to do with words like these? |
17201 | _ Why so can I, or so can any man, But will they come when you do call for them?_ Henry IV. |
17201 | and I? |
17201 | and I? |
17201 | and I? |
17201 | and how joyful will it be when he has done his utmost for it? |
17201 | and in what way shall_ I_ feel the blessing of it most keenly_?'' |
17201 | and is not the positivist position, to a large extent at any rate, proved? |
17201 | and me? |
17201 | and me? |
17201 | and what is the reason that it pleases us? |
17201 | and what sort of happiness will others secure for me? |
17201 | and why should he so brusquely command all other men to share it? |
17201 | or am I not guilty, and may I go on just as I please?'' |
17201 | or can we look forward to its remaining undecided till the end of time? |
17201 | or do I owe it no more reverence than I owe the Alhambra Theatre? |
17201 | or lure them away from vices from which hell- fire would not scare them? |
17201 | or was its publication very sacred in the nurse? |
39005 | ''And you feel dis_ fauteuil_, really ver''_ com- for- ta- ble_?'' 39005 ''You find yourself now much improved, madame?'' |
39005 | A good deal is left for the imagination,I replied,"regrets what?" |
39005 | And how is it in modern times? |
39005 | And the bill, sir? |
39005 | And what became of the barbarian in the large chair? |
39005 | And what said Uncle Hal? |
39005 | Are the ladies of our country, then, so remiss in politeness? |
39005 | At what hour do you propose going, ladies? |
39005 | Before I leave you, my dear Miss Peters, will you allow me to make a prophecy? |
39005 | But who is this formidable youth, Miss Campbell? |
39005 | But why, brother? 39005 But, Charley, dear, what about the horse? |
39005 | But, Colonel, do tell me, have you read Macaulay''s second volume? |
39005 | But, pa, I ought to answer the note to- night or very early to- morrow morning-- it would not be polite to keep Mr. Blakeman----"A note, eh?" |
39005 | Certainly, my dear; but tell me what you are thinking of; what troubles you my child? |
39005 | Come in, my daughter, come-- what will you have? |
39005 | Dear brother,expostulated his companion,"do n''t you know that Mrs. R---- is not well? |
39005 | Did Mr. B---- come out in a carriage? |
39005 | Do be quiet, children,interrupted Ida, reprovingly;"now, uncle dear, wo n''t you take us? |
39005 | Do n''t be wrathy, Smith-- what''s your tipple, old fellow? |
39005 | Do tell, Jul,exclaimed a young lady,"where_ have_ you been marvelling to? |
39005 | Do you know what she said to that poor woman? |
39005 | Do you mean that he_ lives by his wits_, as the phrase is? |
39005 | Do you never smoke? |
39005 | Do you wonder now at my manner at the dinner? 39005 Does he_ sleep in them_?" |
39005 | Does your anxious mother know you''re out? |
39005 | For what word are you looking, so early? |
39005 | Have you ever chanced to remark this picture? |
39005 | How are you, Fred, how are you? 39005 How did that get into the card- basket?" |
39005 | How''s the old lady? |
39005 | How''s your ma, Mr. John Smith? |
39005 | I am not surprised,exclaimed Dr. de H----,"my friend Sir C---- G----, who saw you this morning, asked me afterwards what country was you of?" |
39005 | I do n''t mean to be, mother; but--"From what do you draw such a sweeping inference, my child?" |
39005 | I say, what''s the name of that gentleman who has just gone off in that carriage there? |
39005 | I think I am not mistaken, sir; have we not met before? |
39005 | I would like the drive-- but, Charley, had we not better put it off until to- morrow morning? 39005 If you are a prophet of_ good_, sir"----"Can you doubt it, when your future fate is the subject?" |
39005 | In a whisper? |
39005 | Is he a_ Filibuster_? |
39005 | Is n''t that sufficient to condemn the perpetrator to''durance vile''in the_ paradise of fools_? |
39005 | Is not an_ engraver_ an artist? |
39005 | Is that all, Miss----? |
39005 | Know him? 39005 May I ask the honor of a presentation to my sometime prisoner?" |
39005 | May we be permitted to inquire what those are? |
39005 | Miss----,I asked, advancing towards my fair friend,"will you let me invite your attention to this new study? |
39005 | Mother, my revered maternal primitive, may I read you this anecdote? 39005 My_ loving spou_,"as Bessie says, when she recites John Gilpin,"may I trouble you to tie my cravat?" |
39005 | Never heard that of him,answered the other youth,"how the deuce could he? |
39005 | No? |
39005 | O, I mean when the_ speaking- trumpet_, as Governor S---- called him, shouted out--''_fricandeau de veau!_--What''s he, Fred? 39005 Pleasant morning, Judge!--if I do n''t intrude"( a glance at me, and no introduction by the chief- justice),"is this seat unoccupied?" |
39005 | Should you know him again? |
39005 | Sir- r- r? |
39005 | Some chicken fixins and pie doins would n''t be so bad-- would they, though? |
39005 | Then you did not think me careless, and were not vexed? |
39005 | There is the first dinner- gong,said she, to herself, starting up,"what shall I do? |
39005 | Uncle Hal, is n''t an artist_ a gentleman_? |
39005 | V----? 39005 We would have waited for you,"interposed Ida;"why did n''t you tell us?" |
39005 | Well, but, do you know it''s twelve o''clock? 39005 Well, we''ll see about it-- when is the concert?" |
39005 | Well, well; what has that to do with her treatment of me? 39005 Well, what was the answer?" |
39005 | What are Mr. Waldo''s politics? |
39005 | What are you all so busy about? |

39005 | What, in particular, do you refer to, my dear? 39005 What?" |
39005 | Where''re you going, Fred? 39005 Wherefore_ Colonel_, and of what?" |
39005 | Which is your favorite picture here, Miss Lunettes? |
39005 | Which one,--where? |
39005 | While we are so literary, mother-- what is it about the dolphin? 39005 Who is that fine- looking young man, Colonel Lunettes?" |
39005 | Who is that polite old man? |
39005 | Who is that young man, sir? |
39005 | Who the d---- is that fellow? |
39005 | Why, Blanche, what''s the trouble? 39005 Why, how was that?" |
39005 | Will you just take it into the hall, and take off the paper, Biddy? 39005 Will you not come in a moment?" |
39005 | Will you tell me why, pa? |
39005 | Wo n''t you join us, sir? |
39005 | You''re E Pluribus-- you''re a brick,returned Mr. Smith, softening,"but where in thunder are those female women? |
39005 | Your_ mother_,--is she well this morning? |
39005 | _ Eat?_thundered the disciple of Galen,"the poker and tongs, if you will_ chew them well_!" |
39005 | ''I fear, madame,''said she,''that you suffare ver''much:--vat can I do for you?'' |
39005 | ''What is Dr. J---- like?'' |
39005 | ''_ Apres vous, madame, je vous prie_,''[3] said he, with the most courtly air;--so that was Sir C---- G----?" |
39005 | ***** But now for an exemplary anecdote or two:--"Colonel Lunettes, do you know some gentleman going to U---- in this train?" |
39005 | ***** Will that do for this time, boys? |
39005 | *****"Doctor, what may I eat?" |
39005 | *****"Husband, do you know a young Mr. V----, in society here-- a lawyer, I think?" |

39005 | After an exchange of civilities, turning respectfully to the governor, he said:"Governor T----, can I be of any service? |
39005 | After sitting a moment beside the lady, Mr. Clay said, abruptly:--"''Miss----, what is your definition of true politeness?'' |
39005 | Ai n''t you a pretty fellow? |
39005 | And you, sir, will you hear them?" |
39005 | As a contrast to these anecdotes, how does the following incident impress you? |
39005 | Be careful not to let it get dirty and wet, inside, will you?" |
39005 | Blakeman?" |
39005 | But what are you doing with that huge, bearish- looking coat? |
39005 | But, Corné, what happened to the senator?" |
39005 | But, come, cozzy dear, will you go now, or is your patience all gone?" |
39005 | Ca n''t one have a''charming adventure,''and yet have nothing to tell?" |
39005 | Can we, then, learn nothing from the matured civilization of the Old World in regard to the_ Art of Living_? |
39005 | Can you make only a lesson in elocution out of this; or will it also illustrate our present theme? |
39005 | Colonel, will you allow me?" |
39005 | Could n''t she trust him with the rest of the family for a few minutes? |
39005 | Did she remain during the whole time of your call?" |

39005 | Had we not better return?" |
39005 | Has he really troubled you? |
39005 | Have n''t you been impatient?" |
39005 | Have you remarked the magnificent head of the gentleman with her? |
39005 | Have you seen the last''Harper,''Colonel?" |
39005 | How can you allow such a thing to distress you in this way?" |
39005 | How few, for instance, would have responded as readily, in an emergency, as did the half- drunk servant of Swift:"Is my fellow here?" |
39005 | How would you feel disposed to treat a gentleman who had encroached upon your rights in this way?'' |
39005 | How would you like to go with me to look after my Western investments next month?" |
39005 | I bowed slightly, and hurried on:--but was n''t it beautiful? |
39005 | I remember, at this moment no better illustration of ready repartee:"How are you this morning, sir?" |
39005 | Is it all over with him?" |
39005 | Is it not suggestive? |
39005 | Is it possible that you do not feel that it is so? |
39005 | Jerome?" |
39005 | Ladies, it is said, are the_ readers_ of America, but who ever sees the dear creatures donning spectacles in youth? |

39005 | Lunettes?" |
39005 | May I get out for them? |
39005 | Miss Ida, will you let a lonely old fellow join your party? |
39005 | Mr. Y---- will walk over and accompany you-- you are at the Hotel? |
39005 | Mrs. and the Misses Simpson?" |
39005 | Now, here is this person, Colonel C----, I think, if I heard the name?" |
39005 | Sacredly are they cherished among the hoarded memories of youthful friendship? |
39005 | Shall I read them, mamma? |
39005 | Shall we defy the race to which we belong, on this point alone? |
39005 | Should we not hesitate by exhibitions of such qualities of our nature as are happily still dormant in them, to force them into precocious development? |
39005 | Take this to mammy will you, Biddy? |
39005 | They are easily amused, easily gratified-- shall I add, easily_ satisfied_, mentally? |
39005 | Upon this, some member, upon the_ opposition benches_, as the English say, called out:"What are his claims? |
39005 | V---- was one of the_ aids- de- camp_, on the occasion, as I knew by the white love- knot( what is the fashionable name, wife?) |
39005 | Was this most gallant knight of yours a_ young_ gentleman, may I ask?" |
39005 | What a brilliant color!--You were driving this morning, were you not? |
39005 | What did you think of me for delaying so long?" |
39005 | What do you think of such examples of industry and perseverance as these, young gentlemen? |
39005 | What''s your name, dear? |
39005 | What_ could_ be the matter? |
39005 | When''d you get in? |
39005 | Where do you sit, Colonel?" |
39005 | While yet unstained by the pollutions of the world, should we not render a certain homage to their pristine purity and innocence? |
39005 | Who, pray?" |
39005 | Why are you so superior to the rest of your sex?" |
39005 | Why seek in the frailty and fallibility of human nature a justification of personal distrust and indifference? |
39005 | Will you permit me to attend them?" |
39005 | Will you permit me to leave you, after requesting the honor of attending you?'' |
39005 | Willie?" |
39005 | Would a man imbued with"The fair humanities of old religion"have needed such a rebuke, from such a source, think you? |
39005 | Would you have thought it so late?" |
39005 | Would you like a velvet jacket, eh, my fine fellow?" |
39005 | Y----?" |
39005 | You will thus learn not only to pity the erring, but, perchance, sometimes to ask yourselves in profound humility--"_who hath made me to differ_?" |

39005 | that to me, my dear? |
39005 | what is the matter with you, that you do not speak to me?" |

29917 | A volition is an operation of the mind, is it not? |
29917 | And from thy native slough of sensual mire, Is''t to the mark of thine own purity Thy loftier aims and holier hopes aspire? |
29917 | And is it not evident that non- existent ideas can not have called real ideas into existence? |
29917 | And may we not with good reason congratulate ourselves on this result of our investigations? |
29917 | And what are myriads of lives in comparison with a regenerate-- what violation of the most solemn engagements in comparison with a united, people? |
29917 | And what though it be only the most thorough- paced Utilitarians who go these extreme lengths? |
29917 | And when by harrowing pang thine heart is wrung, Is''t for self- aid thy wandering eyes inquire, Heavenward, at length, in fervid suppliance flung? |
29917 | And wherefore yet delayeth the reprieve Of Love, that doth not willingly afflict Its children, neither wantonly aggrieve? |
29917 | And wherefore? |
29917 | And why should not the power in question be so credited? |
29917 | And yet what poet would change conditions with the lark? |
29917 | And, if credited so far, why not still further? |
29917 | Are any worthier? |
29917 | Are grapes upon the bramble borne, or doth The fig bear olive berries? |
29917 | Besides, does man, in order to believe himself free, require more freedom than his Maker? |
29917 | Bethink thee-- is''t self- reverence that o''erawes Thy prostrate soul, and from thy faltering tongue, Subdued, involuntary homage draws? |
29917 | But can there be a better proof that utilitarian principles are unsound than that this should be a legitimate deduction from them? |
29917 | But how can we pretend to know for how long a season such may continue to be the divine pleasure? |
29917 | But how, being so admirable, can it be immoral? |
29917 | But how, by goodness so transcending, conjoined with immeasurable might, can the co- existence of evil be tolerated? |
29917 | But if so, what else is Positivism than another form of that very metaphysicism which it condemns? |
29917 | But is this inability a matter to lament over? |
29917 | But of that which is not due, how can payment be rightfully insisted upon? |
29917 | But on such conditions, how can human volitions really be free? |

29917 | But what if there be no such laws? |
29917 | But what shadow of pretext is there for treating an hitherto unvaried course of events as necessarily invariable? |
29917 | But whence and why these divergencies? |
29917 | But which are the ideas whereof this can be said? |
29917 | But why are they so prized? |
29917 | But, indeed, is there any one conceivable situation in life in which a positive rule can be laid down as to the course which men will follow? |

29917 | For what, after all, does it imply? |
29917 | For whence was Vice derived? |

29917 | How are we to account for such amazing inconsistencies in an exposition of one of the greatest of philosophers? |
29917 | How can his will be free, if that will be moulded and shaped by circumstances over which he has no control? |
29917 | How can it be, when, as frequently happens, you have not the smallest idea of what it is you are saying or playing? |
29917 | How, consistently with the theory, is it possible they should? |
29917 | How, they may naturally ask, is it to be expected that sickness should be cured unless properly treated? |
29917 | How, when the creature of His wrath replies With feeble wail and inarticulate moan, The sighing of that contrite heart despise? |
29917 | How-- for it is merely the old puzzle over again-- how can foreknowledge be reconciled with freewill? |

29917 | Is not Germany likely to turn Kiel to far better account than Denmark ever did or could have done? |
29917 | Is not faith in such a providence not simply not irrational, but the direct result of a strictly inductive process? |
29917 | Is not such a being worthy to be looked up to, and confided in, and adored and loved as a superintending providence? |
29917 | Is what we call Duty no divine messenger and guide, but a false, earthly fantasm, made up of Desire and Fear?'' |
29917 | Is''t haply that with love a rival strove? |
29917 | May I, without presumption, hazard a conjecture as to the sort of fabric that might have arisen, if he had steadily prosecuted his original design? |
29917 | May naught else serve to fan the stagnant air? |

29917 | Of how much else,''for a pure moral nature, is not the loss of Religious Belief the loss?'' |
29917 | Of the recited enormities, were not some, steps to the regeneration of France-- others, to the unifaction of Germany? |
29917 | Or is it not, at all events, open to their divine promulgator to suspend their operation at his pleasure? |
29917 | Or that, the progress of His grace to thwart, Satanic might the host of hell arrays? |
29917 | Or,''is there no God? |

29917 | Should not all Freely, alike, his nurturing guidance share? |

29917 | Where, then, is the boast of virtue? |
29917 | Why but because we have learnt by experience that, when people have no apparent motive for lying, they commonly do speak the truth? |
29917 | Why imagine that into the newly formed hydro- nitrogenised oxide of carbon a something called vitality entered and took possession? |
29917 | Why is it, then, that every one has a right to fulfilment of engagements, to have faith kept with him, to have promises observed? |
29917 | Why would he not? |
29917 | Will not the effects of any given cause vary with the changes in the circumstances in which the cause acts? |
29917 | With unloaded dice there would be nothing strange in double- six being thrown once; but, if once, why not twice running? |
29917 | With what intent Placed where perpetual hindrances exhaust Thy wasted strength, in baffled effort spent? |
29917 | Would it be well for us that our being starved or surfeited should make no difference in our wish to feed, or our willingness to fast? |
29917 | Would there be a chorus of applause from the Institute of Architects, and favourable notices in the newspapers of this profound wisdom? |
29917 | Would we have all these things reversed? |
29917 | Would we have our wishes to be independent of reason, and adrift before irrational caprice? |

29917 | and hast thou, Or such as thou, Nature''s whole fabric wrought? |
29917 | and how can a doctor be expected to attend unless he be asked? |
29917 | and how can it be properly treated without a doctor? |
29917 | and if twice, why not three, four, or a million times running, provided that the thrower''s strength held out so long? |
29917 | and will he not more certainly prescribe judiciously if his judgment be guided by special interposition of divine grace? |
29917 | and will not German ascendency be abundant compensation for Danish decadence? |
29917 | how other than virtuous? |
29917 | how, rather, ever acquirable? |
29917 | not, what they implore Reversing, and restraining, lest they do The good they would,--constraining them withal To do the evil they would fain eschew? |
29917 | or how consciousness without a conscious entity? |
29917 | or, at best, an absentee God, sitting idle ever since the first Sabbath, at the outside of His universe, and_ seeing_ it go?'' |

39155 | A good shot may be a good one in that it hits the mark; but what if it kill a man? |
39155 | All individuals? |
39155 | And how is self- sacrifice possible? |
39155 | And the moral question as to mortality or immortality is not:"What is the pleasanter to believe?" |
39155 | And what is to be said of the new- born infant, which sucks when the breast is placed between its lips? |
39155 | And what right have they, on their own showing, to administer this chastisement to the lazy man? |
39155 | And why stop, in this case, exactly with the cells of animal life; why not apply our question to those of plant life also? |
39155 | And will he, as such, decide on a division of these means to happiness with B, C, and D, who have not labored to produce them? |
39155 | Are the characteristics of one chemical compound the same as those of another because both compounds are matter and motion? |
39155 | Are we to believe that any property or accident of a thing may change, and the thing remain yet actually the same thing? |
39155 | Are we to look upon the conditions involved in the environment as mere negatives and simply developing the positive potentialities of the germ- plasm? |
39155 | Are we to regard the Creator''s work as like that of a child, who builds houses out of blocks just for the pleasure of knocking them down again? |
39155 | Are we to suppose it, too, as preëxistent,"in a weaker form,"or in any form, in the inorganic? |
39155 | Are we to suppose that the possession of still greater power and so still larger opportunities for fraud would afford the people greater security? |

14314 | = ASKING FOR A DANCE= When a gentleman is introduced to a lady he says,"May I have some of this?" |
14314 | = ETIQUETTE= CHAPTER I WHAT IS BEST SOCIETY? |
14314 | = HOW MANY BRIDESMAIDS?= This question is answered by: How many friends has she whom she has"always promised"to have with her on that day? |
14314 | = INFORMAL GREETINGS= Informal greetings are almost as limited as formal, but not quite; for besides saying"How do you do?" |
14314 | = THE MAIDS''MEN FRIENDS= Are maids allowed to receive men friends? |
14314 | = TO DETERMINE AN OBJECT''S WORTH= In buying an article for a house one might formulate for oneself a few test questions: First, is it useful? |
14314 | = WHAT TO SAY WHEN INTRODUCED= Best Society has only one phrase in acknowledgment of an introduction:"How do you do?" |
14314 | A friend would probably know the daughter; in any event the mother''s introduction would be,"You remember Cynthia, do n''t you?" |
14314 | A hostess says,"Mrs. Jones, may I present the Duke of Overthere?" |
14314 | All children should say,"What did you say, mother?" |
14314 | And Mrs. Norman, who very much likes Celia Lovejoy, says cordially,"I am so glad you spoke to me, do sit down, wo n''t you?" |
14314 | And all this means? |
14314 | And do they presume because of her"familiarity"when she remembers to ask after the parlor- maid''s mother and the butler''s baby? |
14314 | And the bisque cloth-- surely Madame had found great satisfaction in wearing the bisque cloth?" |
14314 | And the highest of us"servants"of the people and the State? |
14314 | And then saying quickly and quietly whatever it was he came to say, as quickly and quietly make his way out again? |
14314 | And was it Monday for lower Fifth Avenue? |
14314 | And what is the result? |
14314 | And when someone says"How are you?" |
14314 | And you must be----?" |
14314 | Another is the expounder of the obvious:"Have you ever noticed,"says he, deeply thinking,"how people''s tastes differ?" |
14314 | As Mrs. Toplofty said at the end of a bewilderingly lavish party:"How are any of us ever going to amuse any one after_ this_? |
14314 | As for a nurse, is there any vocation more honorable? |
14314 | At bedtime she always asks:"Would you like to come down to breakfast, or will you have it in your room?" |
14314 | At present we are admiring plain silver and are perhaps exacting that it be too plain? |
14314 | Bachelor on Wednesday?" |
14314 | Besides, what is the matter with trying to be agreeable yourself? |
14314 | Best Society always says"do n''t you?") |
14314 | Black crêpe de chine? |
14314 | But countless persons with perfectly good hearing say"What?" |
14314 | But do these things merely seem so to us because young men of fashion do not pay party calls nowadays and the young woman of fashion is informal? |
14314 | But it is astonishing, is n''t it, how many people who are depositing nothing whatever, expect to be paid in admiration and respect? |
14314 | But may I be permitted to ask why you wear their uniform?" |
14314 | But since it is more prudent for young women to arrive under her care, why run the unnecessary risk of meeting Mrs. Grundy''s jackal on the doorstep? |
14314 | But why go on? |
14314 | But why, when their house looks out upon a garden that has charming vistas, must she insist on his looking into the clothes- yard and the ash- can? |
14314 | CHAPTER III GREETINGS= WHAT TO SAY WHEN INTRODUCED= As explained in the foregoing chapter, the correct formal greeting is:"How do you do?" |
14314 | Do come in and see him, wo n''t you? |
14314 | Do not repeat"Mrs. Jones? |
14314 | Do you ever see a man go through his mail and see him suddenly droop-- as, though a fog had fallen upon his spirits? |
14314 | Do you see him reluctantly pick out a letter, start to open it, hesitate and then push it aside? |
14314 | Do you think I am light enough to wear gray? |
14314 | Does anyone living buy anything because someone, who knows nothing, tells another, who is often an expert, what an indiscriminating"They"may be doing? |
14314 | Does n''t it? |
14314 | Does that sort of saleswoman ever succeed in selling anything? |
14314 | Does this false idea of dignity-- since it_ is_ false-- go so far as that? |
14314 | Example: Dear Mrs. Smith: Will you and Mr. Smith dine with us on Thursday, the seventh of January, at eight o''clock? |
14314 | Finally, he was asked point blank:"Do n''t you think the wedding was too lovely? |
14314 | Finding yourself next to one of these, you venture:"Have you seen any good plays lately?" |
14314 | For instance, suppose you say,"Are you there?" |
14314 | For instance: Dear Mrs. Kindhart( or Martha): Will you lunch with me on Monday the tenth at half after one o''clock? |
14314 | Fourth, if it were eliminated would it be missed? |
14314 | Gradually you are becoming nervous-- what can have happened? |
14314 | Has she a large circle of intimates or only one or two? |
14314 | He might even stagger under bags and suitcases, or a small trunk-- but carry a"bundle"? |
14314 | He should never say,"Have you a partner?" |
14314 | How could they be? |
14314 | How do you like it? |
14314 | How does Mrs. Oldname walk? |
14314 | How many have noticed that Southern women always bow with the grace of a flower bending in the breeze and a smile like sudden sunshine? |
14314 | I can put in the black lace day dress; perhaps I had better put in my cerise satin----""The cerise?" |
14314 | I know he would not like you to be kept waiting; can I be of any service to you? |
14314 | I think gray looks well on fair- haired people-- I do n''t know whether you would call my hair fair or not? |
14314 | If Mr. Smith and Mrs. Jones are themselves telephoning there is no long conversation, but merely: Mrs. Jones:"Is that you Mrs. Smith( or Sarah)? |
14314 | If a dinner is given by a hostess who has no car of her own, a guest will sometimes ask:"Do n''t you want me to have the car come back for us?" |
14314 | If he does not know them by sight he asks whichever is nearest to him,"What name, please?" |
14314 | If not, will you ring?" |
14314 | If she is sitting in a group, he can go up and ask her,"Do n''t you want to dance some of this?" |
14314 | If the Ambassador of France is presented to her, she says"How do you do?" |
14314 | If the car is very crowded when he wishes to leave it and a lady is directly in his way, he asks:"May I get through, please?" |
14314 | If the hostess"forgets,"the guests always ask before trooping down the aisle"How do you want us to sit?" |
14314 | If the usher thinks a guest belongs in front of the ribbons though she fails to present her card, he always asks at once"Have you a pew number?" |
14314 | If you are much stared at, what_ sort_ of a stare do you usually meet? |
14314 | If you doubt it, put the question to yourself:"Who could possibly have the manners of a queen in a gray flannel wrapper?" |
14314 | In all monosyllabic replies a child must not say"Yes"or"No"or"What?" |
14314 | In answering a bell, she asks"Did you ring, sir?" |
14314 | In asking a lady to go to supper, a gentleman should say"Will you go to supper with me?" |
14314 | In asking to be received, her query at the door should be"Are any of the ladies at home?" |
14314 | In the same way he asks later before pouring wine:"Cider, sir?" |
14314 | In the same way young Struthers calls up Millicent Gilding,"Are you going to be in this afternoon?" |
14314 | Invitation to a house party at a camp: Dear Miss Strange: Will you come up here on the sixth of September and stay until the sixteenth? |
14314 | Invitations to a house party are often as not telephoned:"Hello, Ethel? |
14314 | Is a zebra even seen in patches of sun and shade? |
14314 | Is an emerald lizard conspicuous in the tropics? |
14314 | Is dinner never going to be served? |
14314 | Is it bold, or mocking, or is it merely that people look at you wistfully? |
14314 | Is not that delicious? |
14314 | Is not that thought exquisite? |
14314 | Is she a lady? |
14314 | Is she going to travel, or live quietly in the country? |
14314 | It all depends-- is she to be in a big city for the winter season, or at a watering place for the summer? |
14314 | It is perfectly correct for a stranger to say"May I have a cup of tea?" |
14314 | It is still more likely that the suggestion to join comes from a friend, who says one day,"Why do n''t you join the Nearby Club? |
14314 | It sounds improbable, does n''t it? |
14314 | Jones?" |
14314 | Jones?" |
14314 | Jones?" |
14314 | May Pauline take him to your dance on Friday? |
14314 | Maybe she thinks they do not go together? |
14314 | Mentally, he seems to say:"Well, here I am-- and now what?" |
14314 | Mrs. Oldname, somewhat taken back, answered rather wonderingly:"Is it dreadful?--Really? |
14314 | Mrs. Smith? |
14314 | Neighbor, you know Jim, do n''t you?" |
14314 | Norman?" |
14314 | Older people, on the other hand, very often go for a supper to one of the cabarets for which New York is famous( or infamous? |
14314 | On the other hand, neighbors who are continually meeting, gradually become accustomed to say"How do you do?" |
14314 | One naturally exclaims,"But how stupid of her, why did n''t she go up- stairs? |
14314 | Or do they not know, whether their inflection is right or wrong? |
14314 | Or formally,"Mrs. Faraway, may I present my husband?" |
14314 | Or in a house which has the remains of a cellar,"Champagne?" |
14314 | Or is it merely striking, or amusing? |
14314 | Or the one her husband bought and had marked for her? |
14314 | Or usually, whom? |
14314 | Or would its place look as well empty? |
14314 | Or would she prefer not to have a substitute ring and have the whole wedding party on their knees searching? |
14314 | Or"Is n''t it lucky they have such a beautiful day?" |
14314 | Or"May I take you to supper?" |
14314 | Or"Will Mr. and Mrs. Oldname dine with Mr. Clubwin Doe on Saturday at the Toit d''Or and go to the play?" |
14314 | Or, an elder lady asks:"Are n''t you Mary Smith? |
14314 | Or,"Mrs. Denver, do you know Mary?" |
14314 | Or--"Wouldn''t it be easier if you took my arm along here? |
14314 | Otherwise, why so eagerly boast of the achievement? |
14314 | Perhaps some one asks about Ernest? |
14314 | Second, has it_ really_ beauty of form and line and color? |
14314 | Shall I introduce him?" |
14314 | Shall she play the phonograph to you? |
14314 | She smiles and perhaps says,"I hear that you are going to be in New York all winter?" |
14314 | Smith?" |
14314 | Sounds impossible? |
14314 | Strong or weak?" |
14314 | Struthers?" |
14314 | Struthers?" |
14314 | Such messages, however, follow a prescribed form:"Is this Lenox 0000? |
14314 | The Frenchman replied:"Well, we are making war for civilization, are we not? |
14314 | The bride''s lament after this was--"Why had she not worn her prettiest things?" |
14314 | The first thing to ask in engaging a waitress is,"Can you clean silver?" |
14314 | The guest card mentioned above is as follows:= PLEASE FILL THIS OUT BEFORE GOING DOWN TO DINNER:=_ What time do you want to be awakened? |
14314 | The question is, what? |
14314 | Their chief concern is whether this is correct, or whether that is properly done, or is this person or that such an one as they care to know? |
14314 | Then there is the vulgarian of fulsome compliment:"Why are you so beautiful? |
14314 | They seem, like_ Hermione_( Don Marquis''s heroine), to be anxiously asking themselves,"Have I failed to- day, or have I not?" |
14314 | Third, is it entirely suitable for the position it occupies? |
14314 | Those who intend giving tickets should remember that a message,"Can you use two tickets for the Russian ballet to- night?" |
14314 | To a friend of one''s daughter: Dear Mary: Will you and Jim come on Friday the first for the Worldly dance, and stay over Sunday? |
14314 | To a young man, however, she should say,"Mr. Struthers, have you met my daughter?" |
14314 | To say"What is your name?" |
14314 | To- day their attitude is:"Is he good enough for Mary?" |
14314 | Under any of these circumstances when he proffers his assistance, he might say:"Do n''t you think you had better take my arm? |
14314 | Vulgar annexes him by saying, casually,"Have you a seat at table? |
14314 | WHAT IS BEST SOCIETY? |
14314 | Was not her black lace charming? |
14314 | Were n''t the bridesmaids beautiful?" |
14314 | What business has he to teach me my job?" |
14314 | What can she do with all of us?" |
14314 | What makes a brilliant party? |
14314 | What woman does not wince at the viselike grasp that cuts her rings into her flesh and temporarily paralyzes every finger? |
14314 | What would Madame wear in a flower garden? |
14314 | Whatever possessed you to ask these people to your horrible house? |
14314 | When did you get back?" |
14314 | When he says"Who giveth this woman to be married?" |
14314 | When he turns away, the man at the lathe says,"Who was that guy anyway? |
14314 | When some one is talking to you, it is inconsiderate to keep repeating"What did you say?" |
14314 | When the servant returning says either"Will you come this way, please?" |
14314 | Where do all bachelors get those nice and so very respectable elderly maid servants? |
14314 | Who does not dislike a"boneless"hand extended as though it were a spray of sea- weed, or a miniature boiled pudding? |
14314 | Why did n''t her son send for her?" |
14314 | Why not shut your front door tight and pull down the blinds and, sitting before a mirror in your own drawing- room, order tea for two? |
14314 | Why should I call them at all?" |
14314 | Why should n''t he? |
14314 | Why should they? |
14314 | Why would he think he had ability? |
14314 | Will he be so pleased with himself then? |
14314 | Will you accord me permission? |
14314 | Will you and Arthur come on the sixteenth for over Sunday?" |
14314 | Will you and your husband( or John) dine with us to- morrow at eight o''clock?" |
14314 | Will you be godfather? |
14314 | Will you let me? |
14314 | Will you please ask Mr. and Mrs. Smith if they will dine with Mrs. Grantham Jones next Tuesday the tenth at eight o''clock? |
14314 | Worldly remarked:"What would be the use of Celia Lovejoy''s beauty if it depended upon continual variation in clothes?" |
14314 | Worldly says"How do you do?" |
14314 | Worldly says,"How do you do?" |
14314 | Worldly,"My cousin is staying with us, may I bring him to your dance?" |
14314 | Worldly? |
14314 | Worldly?" |
14314 | Would she prefer the substitute ring that was actually the one she was married with? |
14314 | Would something else look as well or better, in its place? |
14314 | Would you know the secret of popularity? |
14314 | Would you like her to telephone to a friend who sings too wonderfully? |
14314 | Would you like to look at a portfolio of pictures? |
14314 | Yet are not the best of us"servants"in the Church? |
14314 | You ask your husband what is the matter with the forks? |
14314 | You have scarcely found your own stateroom and had your deck chair placed, when one of them swoops upon you:"I do n''t know whether you remember me? |
14314 | You need them all for the dinner you ordered, how can there be less? |
14314 | You remember, Uncle Bob sang out it was good I was already married, or I would n''t be this year? |
14314 | Young?" |
14314 | Younger and the Ambassador likewise say"How do you do?" |
14314 | _ Personal Trousseau_ How many dresses can a bride wear? |
14314 | and where is her loveliness then? |
14314 | and worst of all to add"Where did you get it?" |
14314 | are these people never going home?" |
14314 | asked her husband,"Is that the red you had on the other night? |
14314 | have him put out his hand in frank and easy and yet deferential friendliness? |
14314 | is there anything more typical of the average spare room than the clock that is at a standstill? |
14314 | or May I? |
14314 | or if especially well- mannered she asks"Did Madam ring?" |
14314 | or"Do you care for whiskey and soda, sir?" |
14314 | or"Horrid weather, is n''t it?" |
14314 | or"Lord Blank? |
14314 | or"What have you been doing lately?" |
14314 | or"What is the news with you?" |
14314 | or"Would you care to dance?" |
14314 | or,"Mrs. Jones, do you know my mother?" |
14314 | or,"Mrs. Jones, you know Mrs. Robinson, do n''t you?" |
14314 | or,"On the sixteenth?" |
14314 | with a rising inflection on"--thers?" |
14314 | you can say"Good morning"and on occasions"How are you?" |
15510 | ''But,''said he,''how could that little boy''s father feed_ his flocks_ there, then?'' |
15510 | ''Did you ever hear,''said I,''of one PARSON MALTHUS?'' |
15510 | ''My husband thinks so and so, and I think so and so; now, Mr. Tomkins, do n''t you think_ I am right_?'' |
15510 | ''Well,''said he,''and what of that? |
15510 | ''What is that?'' |
15510 | ''When will you come again? |
15510 | ''Why,''said I,''how many children do you reckon to have at last?'' |
15510 | ''You did not expect him?'' |
15510 | 241. Who knows, I say, in what degree the employment of_ men_-operators may have tended to produce this change, so injurious to the female sex? |
15510 | A loose woman is a disagreeable_ acquaintance_: what must she be, then, as a_ wife_? |
15510 | After this, where is the person of sense who will be guided in these matters by_ fashion_? |
15510 | Am I recommending a_ reserve_ towards her that would seem to say that she was not trust- worthy, or not a party interested in her husband''s affairs? |
15510 | Am I recommending_ disregard_ of the wife''s opinions and wishes? |
15510 | Am I recommending_ tyranny_? |
15510 | Am I told, that_ property_ ought to confer this right? |
15510 | And as to_ efficiency_ in life, how is the bachelor to equal the married man? |
15510 | And besides all these considerations, is there no crime in robbing the child of the nurse, and in exposing it to perish? |
15510 | And does the husband who thus abandons his wife and children imagine that she will not, in some degree at least, follow his example? |
15510 | And how is she to do these things, unless she have been_ brought up_ to understand domestic affairs? |
15510 | And how should I have been without this wife and these children? |
15510 | And if we admit the validity of such apologies, are we far from apologising for the kept- mistress, and even the prostitute? |
15510 | And is there any want of matter for conversation between a man and his wife? |
15510 | And the_ noise_: after all, why should it_ disturb_ a man? |
15510 | And what are the_ consequences_? |

52106 | [ 21] The question, however, is, Why was not his death avenged upon the actual culprit? |
52106 | [ 286] Jeremy Taylor asks,"Who will not tell a harmless lie to save the life of his friend, of his child, of himself, of a good and brave man? |
52106 | [ 30] Had not the Lord Himself commissioned them to attack, subdue, and destroy his enemies? |
52106 | [ 47] How shall we explain this connection between religious beliefs and the duties of veracity and fidelity to promises? |
52106 | [ 51] Is it not natural, then, that the savage should give like for like? |
52106 | [ 66] During my wanderings in the remote forests of Northern Finland I was constantly welcomed with the phrase,"What news?" |
52106 | [ 71] When Mungo Park asked some negroes, what became of the sun during the night? |
52106 | [ 9] Porphyry asks,"Who does not know that to this day, in the great city of Rome, at the festival of Jupiter Latiaris, they cut the throat of a man? |

52106 | and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat? |
52106 | are we not your children, do you not see our hunger? |
52106 | dost thou see, O Sky? |
52106 | he would answer{ 87}''Yes''; but if you asked the same man,''You are not old, are you?'' |

52106 | rather than in the question, Why? |
52106 | the Sinhalese interpreter is apt to say,''Do you marry your nagâ?'' |
52106 | they ask you,''to suffer either man or woman to languish any considerable{ 389} time under a heavy, motionless old age? |
52106 | till seven times?" |
52106 | will you have us to be silly creatures, like the sheep?'' |
9054 | For who hath despised the day of small things? |
9054 | Is there not something connected with the idea of economy, which tends, necessarily, to narrow the mind and contract the heart? |
9054 | The woman who deliberates, is lost,we are told: and is it not so? |
9054 | What can I do? |
9054 | All persons, places and things, which affect us( and what does not affect us?) |
9054 | Am I to be told that this is not only spending two pence to save one, but that it is actually wicked? |
9054 | And are you the reverse of all this? |
9054 | And can I set myself, with impunity, against that which my Saviour has encouraged, and yet pretend to be one of his followers? |
9054 | And can we doubt that these young females were influential, in a great many respects, in the education of these conquerors? |
9054 | And does there remain no room for industry when personal ornaments are excluded? |
9054 | And have you a different taste-- entirely so? |
9054 | And if so, shall not his social nature and social powers be early and successfully developed and cultivated? |
9054 | And if the mother employs her daughters in assisting her, is it not apt to be just so far as is_ convenient to herself_, and no farther? |
9054 | And is any thing more entitled to the name of virtue, than its opposite? |
9054 | And is it not so understood? |
9054 | And is not mental or spiritual labor at least as valuable as bodily? |
9054 | And is not that which is the cause of so much evil, nearly akin to vice? |
9054 | And is such an expenditure right? |
9054 | And ought they not to be thus fitted? |
9054 | And to do so day after day and year after year, is it not to make myself exceedingly guilty in his sight? |
9054 | And whence came it? |
9054 | And will any one presume to regard his operations as narrow, or mean, or stingy? |
9054 | And would not every element which should go to make up the sum total of the excellences of each individual, be a part of this mighty treasure? |
9054 | Are daughters, as daughters merely-- to say nothing, as yet, of maternal influence-- are daughters thus influential? |
9054 | Are not all these things done, to a vast extent, either by servants, hired girls, or the mother? |
9054 | Are not, then, home, and the domestic concerns of home, desirable? |
9054 | Are the affections, and passions, and knowledge, and excellence, of less value than the rewards of manual labor, in money or property? |
9054 | Are they not a mirror which often does, and always should, reflect the soul? |
9054 | Are they not agreeable? |
9054 | Are they not as much so, to say the least, as males? |
9054 | Are they not the sign of inward qualities-- a fitting expression of the social virtues? |
9054 | Are we desirous of forming our character upon the model of heaven? |
9054 | Are we fretful? |
9054 | Are we grateful enough for the gift? |
9054 | Are we over- fond of excitement? |
9054 | Are we the slaves of appetite? |
9054 | Are we to belong to their society hereafter, and yet not be their_ associates?_ Are we to associate with them, and yet remain solitaries? |
9054 | Are we to belong to their society hereafter, and yet not be their_ associates?_ Are we to associate with them, and yet remain solitaries? |
9054 | But are not females fully competent to all this? |
9054 | But can that be a duty which it is not in our power to perform? |
9054 | But how and when is she to get home? |
9054 | But how can she do it, if she is ignorant of the situation and functions of the cerebral and nervous system-- that wonderful organ of the intellect? |
9054 | But how much more to be desired is it, that we could see ourselves as_ God_ sees us? |
9054 | But if this is the case, what are we to think of the importance of light to the eye, sound to the ear, employment to the hands,& c.? |
9054 | But is a young woman to be always actively employed? |
9054 | But is it not proper that the truth should be told? |
9054 | But is it so? |
9054 | But is it so? |
9054 | But is it so? |
9054 | But is it sufficiently known that every act which can possibly be regarded as fraudulent in the smallest degree, has the same tendency? |
9054 | But is that which is so destructive to the character of young men-- I mean the want of proper employment-- entirely harmless to young women? |
9054 | But is_ all_ time wasted that is not spent in action, as some of my remarks might seem to imply? |
9054 | But ought not all this, and much more, to be done? |
9054 | But setting aside occasions of this kind, is there not a demand on our whole nature, for general cheerfulness? |
9054 | But shall not a young woman be governed by her taste? |
9054 | But the question recurs-- How can these evils be prevented? |
9054 | But what if it happen to be otherwise? |
9054 | But what is the condition of that family? |
9054 | But what is their labor, generally speaking? |
9054 | But what, in that case, is to become of the injunction of a distinguished apostle, when he says, WHATEVER you do, do all to the glory of God? |
9054 | But would not such a habit be exceedingly useful? |
9054 | Can it be that I waste, in sleep, in fifteen or sixteen years, a whole year of time? |
9054 | Can such people expect to make advances in holiness-- to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ-- and yet not act like him, or follow him? |
9054 | Can two walk together, says the Scripture, unless they are agreed-- that is, agreed as to the main points and purposes of life? |
9054 | Celestial spirits, for aught we know, are much employed in visiting-- and shall not man be so? |
9054 | Cheerfulness.--Is cheerfulness within our power? |
9054 | Could such a thing be? |
9054 | Do not many who say_ no_ with hesitancy, still retain the power and the disposition to deliberate? |
9054 | Do they not generally bow to the tribunal of a fashionable world? |
9054 | Do we think enough of the privilege of conversing in this way with friends in every quarter of the globe? |
9054 | Do you ask how item be done? |
9054 | Do you ask what the domestic of whom I have spoken has to do with all this? |
9054 | Do you dread, above almost all things in the world, excitement and parade? |
9054 | Do you love most the quiet and retirement of home-- and to be surrounded by infancy and childhood? |
9054 | Do you not desire likeness in opinion, taste, purpose,& c.? |
9054 | Do you think I esteemed her the less, because-- exclusive of the common school-- she had no seminary of instruction? |
9054 | Do you think I respected or loved this young woman the less, because she was thus early a house-- keeper, a matron, and a mother? |
9054 | Does any one ask, of what possible service it can be to know these facts, when it is too late to make use of them? |
9054 | Does any one doubt that the dress will receive the desired attention, and that the closet will be neglected? |
9054 | Does any one doubt which it will be? |
9054 | Does he dread, also, like the cholera or the plague, all efforts at mental or moral improvement? |
9054 | Does he find his happiness in going abroad, or in lounging? |
9054 | Does he not thus, in learning his occupation or trade-- especially during the first years-- spend two pence to save one? |
9054 | Does not all preparation for the future, obviously involve the same necessity? |
9054 | Does your friend hate nothing so much as his own thoughts and reflections? |
9054 | Even if it were spent to procure good attendance, are we quite sure our own attendance would not be still more useful? |
9054 | For are there not many of the most excellent persons in the world, whom you would not willingly take for a daily companion? |
9054 | For if to educate, is to form character, what young woman can be found, of any age or in any family, who is not a teacher? |
9054 | For instance, is not a person of mild temper, gentle in manners? |
9054 | For is there not too much foundation for such a conclusion? |
9054 | Granting, as we sometimes do, that this is the fault of their education, is it therefore the less pitiable? |
9054 | Has not another a bold and independent disposition, a forward and fearless manner? |
9054 | Has not the young woman, when she begins the world, the same mental faculties, in number and kind, with the young man? |
9054 | Has she done much to advance the important art of bread- making towards perfection? |
9054 | Has she invented many special improvements in the art of house- keeping? |
9054 | Has she not rendered to the teacher in whose employ she has been, that kind of services, without which he could not have followed his occupation? |
9054 | Have I a right to waste it? |
9054 | Have not their closets, and houses, and the neighboring livery stable, been well furnished and supplied, notwithstanding? |
9054 | Have they not given, in this respect, wholly of their abundance-- and not, like the good woman mentioned in the gospel, of their penury? |
9054 | Have they not had time enough left for their own purposes? |
9054 | Have they not, in this respect, given of their abundance? |
9054 | How can she do so, till she understands, intimately, the relation of the human system to air, heat, the various kinds of food, drink,& c.? |
9054 | How can she, then, waste time- a single moment of it? |
9054 | How can such persons be suitable companions for each other? |
9054 | How can young women be trained to these services? |
9054 | How can young women be trained to these services? |
9054 | How could I be so late? |
9054 | How could I run the risk of being thus left? |
9054 | How happens it, then, that the world is filled with inventions, and so few of them originated by woman? |
9054 | How interesting-- how exceedingly so-- the relation between a mother and a daughter? |
9054 | How then does it happen that an idea of meanness is attached to them? |
9054 | How, then, can they be so very poor? |
9054 | If so, by what art shall a wasteful young woman be taught good habits? |
9054 | In return, I may ask, what lessons of instruction are there which may_ not,_ be learned there, and what moral virtues may not there be cultivated? |
9054 | Is genius confined to our sex? |
9054 | Is he a great friend of parade and excitement? |
9054 | Is he impatient in the society of children? |
9054 | Is it asked what moral lessons, so mightily important, can be learned in the nursery and in the kitchen? |
9054 | Is it not a sin? |
9054 | Is it not expended for mere ornament? |
9054 | Is it not more charitable to conclude they do not know the fact? |
9054 | Is it not obvious that there may be mistake here? |
9054 | Is it not so? |
9054 | Is it not, in effect, just what is actually taking place around us in the world continually? |
9054 | Is it said that every person knows this? |
9054 | Is it too much to say, that decision of character is more important to young women than to any other class of persons whatever? |
9054 | Is it too much to say, that half the world are miserable on this account,--miserable themselves, and a source of misery to others? |
9054 | Is it true that the destiny of millions is thus committed to their keeping? |
9054 | Is not man, here and hereafter-- as I have already insisted-- a social being? |
9054 | Is not such a daughter a teacher? |
9054 | Is not such a victory worth securing? |
9054 | Is not that a duty which is productive of so much happiness? |
9054 | Is not the life of young women in the great mass of our New England families, very far removed from any feeling of want or suffering? |
9054 | Is not time to be allotted her for mere passive enjoyments? |
9054 | Is she to yield to that current of the world which every where sets downward? |
9054 | Is that proved to be a just taste, to which the views here presented seem to be opposed? |
9054 | Is that to be turned wholly out of doors? |
9054 | Is there any conscientiousness in the world? |
9054 | Is there any conscientiousness in the world? |
9054 | Is there any end, at least till the world comes to an end, of the good influence which a good Sabbath school pupil_ may_ thus exert? |
9054 | Is there any moral character in such things? |
9054 | Is there any moral character in such things? |
9054 | Is there no time for relaxation? |
9054 | Is there no time for relaxation? |
9054 | Is there nothing for people to do, in this world, I again ask, but to make ornaments? |
9054 | Is there nothing left for people to do, because you take away ornament? |
9054 | Is there one particle more than is just necessary to render the earth what it was designed to be? |
9054 | It is God''s gift; is it not slighting his gift, to spend it in sleep? |
9054 | May she never lay herself, as it were, on the bosom of her family and friends? |
9054 | May she never unbend her mind from what is called duty? |
9054 | May she never view the silver fish as he leaps up, and"dumbly speaks the praise of God?" |
9054 | May there not be passive enjoyments? |
9054 | May there not be passive enjoyments? |
9054 | Might not the two very best persons in the world be unhappy in each other''s constant society, if they were exceedingly unlike each other? |
9054 | Must it not impede the motion of the venous blood in its return to the heart? |
9054 | Must not even light boots, garters, stockings,& c., do this? |
9054 | Nay, is there even no common ingenuity out of the range of our own walks? |
9054 | Need I present these facts? |
9054 | Need I urge the necessity of the case? |
9054 | Nor is there less of truth in what the evangelist says, that"whoso hateth his brother"( and does not a slanderer_ hate_?) |
9054 | Now which shall we believe-- the human teacher or the divine? |
9054 | Now, are there not a great number of articles of clothing worn, whose use can not be justified on these principles? |
9054 | Or if not, should not every young woman strive to make them so? |
9054 | Perhaps they have clothed the poor, to some extent; but have they denied themselves to do it? |
9054 | Presuming that by school- masters he meant teachers of both sexes, will any one doubt the truth of his assertion? |
9054 | Running, to those who have passed into their teens, would be unfashionable; and who could endure the charge of disregarding the fashions? |
9054 | Rush be right; and why should not good feelings and good affections change the countenance, in a greater or less degree, as well as bad ones? |
9054 | She has patience, and perseverance, and fortitude-- why then may she not add to these, moral courage? |
9054 | She would educate, properly, all her senses; but how can she do it, without a knowledge of their structure, functions and relations? |
9054 | Still it may be said-- If our intellectual tastes are perverted, how are they to be set right? |
9054 | The question is-- How well can I perform this particular act now? |
9054 | They have visited the sick: but when has the time they have given, seriously incommoded them? |
9054 | To say of such or such a young woman, She is a bold and powerful reasoner-- would it not be a little uncommon? |
9054 | True, these tender consciences are rather_ troublesome_; but is it not better that they should torture us a little now, than a great deal hereafter? |
9054 | What can be more abundant, for example, than air and water? |
9054 | What can she do? |
9054 | What could the latter have done, but for the assistance and influence of mothers and sisters? |
9054 | What does true politeness require of them, but to give the stranger, in a gentle and affectionate manner, the necessary information? |
9054 | What have the inventive powers of woman accomplished, even within what have been usually regarded as her own precincts? |
9054 | What have they to do with economy? |
9054 | What is she to do? |
9054 | What ordinary virtue is there more commendable in the young, than industry? |
9054 | What then? |
9054 | What will my husband think-- especially as I came off without saying any thing to him about coming? |
9054 | What would be more presumptuous? |
9054 | What would we not then give for them? |
9054 | What, then, is to become of her? |
9054 | When and where have they cut themselves short of any thing to which they were lawfully entitled, for the sake of doing good to others? |
9054 | When will man return to his native sphere, and the moral and intellectual world move in due harmony and happiness, like the physical? |
9054 | Where is the proof, and by whom has it been adduced? |
9054 | Where, in his domain, is any thing wasted? |
9054 | Where, indeed, is not every thing saved and appropriated to the best possible purpose? |
9054 | Who can say that Benjamin Franklin would ever have been what Benjamin Franklin was, without their aid, joined to the efforts of their mother? |
9054 | Who could risk the danger of being regarded as a romp? |
9054 | Who does not know the power of habit? |
9054 | Who will show us any good thing? |
9054 | Who will show us ourselves? |
9054 | Why has she not done more? |
9054 | Why not, I ask, in the same way that our moral taste is-- by the word and truth of God? |
9054 | Why was I not in season? |
9054 | Will her actual sleep be abridged one third? |
9054 | Will you not, then, hail with joy, every effort of every being who would assist your spirit in its upward flight? |
9054 | Would it be received as a compliment? |
9054 | Would it not be regarded as a little out of the way-- and, to coin a term, as rather unfeminine? |
9054 | Yet is there one particle too much of either of them? |
9054 | and yet for some time not freeze? |
9054 | what will become of that? |
19432 | As long as I steer clear of the law and avoid breaking my neck, what other consequences are there that I need to keep worrying about? 19432 But the first one of these seeds, or the first one of these trees-- who conceived and executed that?" |
19432 | But who conceived the plan of the trees and plants? |
19432 | But,say I,"are you sure you are not trying to befuddle me and befuddle yourself by the use of obscure words? |
19432 | But,say I,"what sublime intelligence conceived the plan of those machines, and what kind of sublimely skilful craftsman was able to fashion them?" |
19432 | But,some one objects,"how about your obligations to others? |
19432 | If this is the palpable intention and design of an all- wise Creator, how does it happen that so many human beings fail to carry out the purpose? 19432 Is that what is meant by soul and conscience and honor? |
19432 | Mother, where did I come from? 19432 What kind of punishment shall it be-- the fairest we can think of? |
19432 | What of that? 19432 Why should n''t I be a pleasure- seeker and a pleasure- lover? |
19432 | Why should n''t I go ahead and gratify all my impulses? |
19432 | A bird? |
19432 | A flower? |
19432 | A germ? |
19432 | A little scolding, perhaps, and a repetition of the warning and the promise? |
19432 | A spider? |
19432 | After all, looking at it from their point- of- view, and bearing in mind the freedom of the individual, why should n''t they? |
19432 | And after all, suppose he does happen to"get pinched,"what of it? |
19432 | And how do they do it? |
19432 | And what of the rôle of a father in this most vital of responsibilities? |
19432 | And who made all these other people? |
19432 | And who''s really to blame? |
19432 | Are n''t you just a little bit ashamed of what you did to Delia?" |
19432 | Are these other things more important than the welfare of their children? |
19432 | Are they exercised to the same extent? |
19432 | Are things going on indefinitely, this way,--or more so? |
19432 | As I was not concerned in it, I can not be held accountable, so what difference does it make to me? |
19432 | As a matter of fact, how severe and accurate a test have either of those devotions been submitted to? |
19432 | As far as his own experience is concerned, where is the reason for him to deny his impulse? |
19432 | As for the danger, who''s afraid of that? |
19432 | Because I happen to know that he was innocent, does that make the occurrence any less reasonable? |
19432 | Because certain individuals are born blind or deaf, does that imply that mankind was not designed to see or hear? |
19432 | Because certain individuals, through the effects of disease or abuse, lose their sight, does that disprove a purpose for the eye? |
19432 | Between these two contradictory principles, even if she has the best intentions in the world, what is she to do? |
19432 | But as this also is no haven of refuge for the vague feelings of faith and aspiration, where are they to go? |
19432 | But even so, and admitting what is apparently obvious, how could any amount of reasoning arrive at a decision in the matter? |
19432 | But even so, how could they come to do such a thing? |
19432 | But how about the feelings of admiration and enthusiasm which works of such great beauty were intended to inspire? |
19432 | But if you believe in doing what you feel like and the doctor is out of the way, why not have your beef- steak? |
19432 | But might n''t it be counted in your favor-- over there? |
19432 | But suppose it might be that after death their spirits could live on, in an unknown world? |
19432 | But what of the Jake, in this case-- the prime factor of the problem? |
19432 | But what of the children? |
19432 | Do n''t modern mothers love their children? |
19432 | Do n''t you know in your heart that this would be wrong-- very wrong? |
19432 | Do not the divorce courts and remarriages and scattered children and the talk and acts of emancipated women give ample evidence of it? |
19432 | Do we measure the achievements of a Napoleon, an Alexander, a Washington, by the manner of their decline and death? |
19432 | Does any one claim, or imagine, that school- books contain much nourishment for the heart and soul, or the moral feelings, or love of beauty? |
19432 | Does father have to know about that, yet?" |
19432 | Does he work any harder than I do? |
19432 | Does it make any difference to him whether he breaks a promise-- to his mother and father? |
19432 | Does not each individual feel moved to accomplish something beyond the mere continuation of life? |
19432 | Does not that same observation apply to the general and to all other individuals, high or low? |
19432 | Does she wish them to be liars and cheats and ingrates, dissipated and corrupt, if by so doing they can have most pleasure and satisfy themselves? |
19432 | Even if she has a little pinch of the heart at the thought of subjecting her sensitive boy to such an ordeal, how can she dare to do otherwise? |
19432 | For her sake? |
19432 | Has man really a soul, at all? |
19432 | Has my life any purpose in the great, everlasting scheme of things? |
19432 | Has not this sentiment something in it which is quite apart from self- interest, or reason, or the impulses of affection? |
19432 | Has scientific thought discovered, or devised, any means of increasing the warmth and tenderness of the human heart? |
19432 | Has the rule of reason made husbands and wives any more devoted to each other, or to their friends? |
19432 | Has your wife''s devotion been subjected to a corresponding test? |
19432 | How are they going? |
19432 | How are you going to make people less selfish and more considerate of others? |
19432 | How could he be bringing so many presents to so many people, all over the world, and delivering them personally, on the same Christmas eve? |
19432 | How could they get it? |
19432 | How do the roots and the leaves and the sap ever contrive to convert these into perfume and blossoms and pulp and pigment? |
19432 | How does it always manage to get the necessary raw materials from the earth and the air? |
19432 | How does it happen that so many are relatively deficient, or totally unconscious of the feelings themselves? |
19432 | How does it operate? |
19432 | How does it work? |
19432 | How far will you get by telling them that the way they are going is immoral and sinful? |
19432 | How is he to do that, unless he is sent to school in time to be prepared? |
19432 | How many mothers are consistently striving to watch over every tender requirement of the heart feelings and soul feelings of their children? |
19432 | How much of a mother''s time is required for the right kind of care for her children? |
19432 | How will you pass through them? |
19432 | If I do n''t bring you up right-- isn''t it my fault? |
19432 | If not, who, or what, is to stop the movement and turn it in another direction? |
19432 | If other people are affected by what we do, and they have feelings of the same sort as ours, are not they, too, entitled to some consideration? |
19432 | If self- determination is the proper thing for each nation, should it not be an equally proper thing for each individual? |
19432 | If that is the way of love, why does n''t it apply to one, as well as the other? |
19432 | If the present condition is indeed an effect of modern science, either directly or indirectly, how can it fail to continue? |
19432 | If the world is supposed to be run by reason, and reason says the majority ought to rule, why should n''t each one of us have an equal share with him? |
19432 | If there is no other end in view for each and every one, but to live and die, what boots it? |
19432 | If there were no purpose at all to an individual life, what difference would it make whether he had a conscience or not? |

19432 | In all sorts of new experiences and questions of conduct, the thought comes spontaneously:"What will mother think about this?" |

19432 | In this age of enlightenment, with all sorts of theories in the air, how is she to know the proper way of forming a fine character? |
19432 | In what part of his body is it located? |
19432 | Is he any better man? |
19432 | Is he not entitled to make all the money he can, in accordance with the laws? |
19432 | Is it good for the children? |
19432 | Is it possible that right here may be the main and underlying cause of the so- called"demoralization"of the present generation? |
19432 | Is it possible that you are still under the influence of an out- grown mediaeval superstition? |
19432 | Is it possible to doubt what sort of a legislature will be chosen? |
19432 | Is it simply that one breaks the law, while the other does not? |
19432 | Is it to be wondered at, if many a modern mother, in this predicament, vacillates between the two? |
19432 | Is n''t it?" |
19432 | Is n''t that about as much as Enlightened Reason could expect of me? |
19432 | Is n''t that right?... |
19432 | Is not Jones perfectly honest? |
19432 | Is our civilization, like that of the Roman Empire, destined to decline and decay? |
19432 | Is that reasonable? |
19432 | Is the effect of it to- day on the forming character any different from what it has been, in the past? |
19432 | Is there any reason for him to be living in a big house with eight servants, and riding around in a limousine car, when all I can afford is a flivver? |
19432 | Is there no such thing as right and wrong? |
19432 | Is there not every reason for his intellect to approve of his shrewdness in taking advantage of his opportunity? |
19432 | Is there not within us a vague aspiration to do well and be something good and fine, according to our means and tastes? |
19432 | Is there really an all- wise Lord, looking on and listening when you say your evening prayers? |
19432 | Is this equally true of the heart and the soul, the development of character, so vitally important in the life and worth of every human being? |
19432 | It is one very solid answer to the second part of the great question: What is the purpose of my life? |
19432 | Less immoral, or unmoral, and more virtuous? |
19432 | Less mercenary and more honorable? |
19432 | Must there be a return to the old- fashioned methods and beliefs? |
19432 | Of cheerfulness and sympathy and consideration for others? |
19432 | Of sincerity, honor, fidelity,--conscience, aspiration, and faith in a mysterious, all- wise destiny? |
19432 | On what does it depend? |
19432 | Or at the hair- dresser''s and manicure''s? |
19432 | Or attending a meeting at the woman''s club? |
19432 | Or better literature than Moliere or Shakespeare? |
19432 | Or better music than Chopin or Wagner? |
19432 | Or better statues than Michael Angelo? |
19432 | Or by the rise and fall of a human individual? |
19432 | Or gossiping at an afternoon tea? |
19432 | Or in intellectual pursuits of any kind? |
19432 | Or is the tendency rather to trammel and divert them by so much laborious and irrelevant interference? |
19432 | Or suppose he has disobeyed the nurse, and she comes and tells you? |
19432 | Or suppose you are on top of a tall building and feel a strong impulse to jump out and go sailing through the air? |
19432 | Perhaps it would help, if we could find the right kind of punishment?" |
19432 | Perhaps mother, for reasons of her own, does n''t wish him to know yet, and would blame the nurse for telling him? |
19432 | Should anything different be expected? |
19432 | Suppose a commanding general, in the midst of a campaign, gives orders for a brigade to occupy a certain ridge and defend it at all costs? |
19432 | Suppose a loving mother belongs to this class-- what is best and wisest for her to do with her son? |
19432 | Suppose a normal mother is on her death- bed, with but an hour to live? |
19432 | Suppose by doing the thing you wish, you will harm them?" |
19432 | Suppose he is forced by experience to realize that you ca n''t be trusted with money, any more than you can be trusted with an automobile? |
19432 | Suppose it could be proved that this were the true purpose of life-- to win benefit and glory for your spirit in the world beyond? |
19432 | Suppose it turns out that clear, cool water may be polluted with cholera, or yellow fever, or other deadly germs? |
19432 | Suppose on account of his affections and sympathies for other individuals, the idea occurs to him that he was meant to serve them, also? |
19432 | Suppose these orders are carried out and, after a heroic defence lasting several days, the entire brigade is wiped out by the enemy? |
19432 | Suppose we start with that and agree on it-- two whole days?" |
19432 | Suppose your own father, as a result of your irresponsibility, refuses to let you have an automobile to break the speed laws with? |
19432 | Suppose your son disobeys you, what then? |
19432 | The forgeries in each case were repeated-- why should n''t they be? |
19432 | Then that long motor ride through deserted country-- suppose it should be raining and the roads slippery and they should try to make it too fast? |
19432 | Then why is it modern children do n''t receive proper training by their modern mothers? |
19432 | Then, why--? |
19432 | They can answer by saying"If I choose to be immoral and satisfy myself, why should n''t I? |
19432 | Thousands upon thousands of other women are doing it, and no up- to- date enlightened person thinks any the worse of them-- so why should n''t I? |
19432 | Was it to enable those individual soldiers to win victory and gain promotion? |

19432 | What ground is there for imagining that it is any more immortal than his heart or his eye? |
19432 | What grounds are there for imagining such an absurdity? |
19432 | What harm to the boy? |
19432 | What in the world are we going to do about it?" |
19432 | What influence has developed the sentiment in one, and retarded or eliminated it in the other? |
19432 | What is she to do? |
19432 | What is that purpose?" |
19432 | What is the essence of her feelings? |
19432 | What is the meaning of it all? |

19432 | What, then, of the future? |
19432 | When a dog dies, does the spirit of him do the same thing? |
19432 | When we turn to the more personal feelings of the individual, in his intimate relations with other beings, is not the situation much the same? |

19432 | Why not? |
19432 | Why not? |
19432 | Why not? |
19432 | Why not? |
19432 | Why not? |
19432 | Why should an emancipated ego, brought up in the modern way, be constantly bothered by the thought of others? |
19432 | Why should n''t I follow my inclinations and do what I like, whenever and wherever I get the chance?" |
19432 | Why should there be? |

31143 | ''You are ignorant of any card- playing in the college building, Brown?'' 31143 And may I inquire what your great- grandfather was?" |
31143 | And where is the proof of this thing? |
31143 | And who is Gashmu? |
31143 | And your father? |
31143 | And your grandfather? |

31143 | Caroline,said the mother of the two young girls,"why do you not wait to see whether your sister is willing for you to open her package? |
31143 | Child, perhaps?--a boy or a girl? |
31143 | Did I promise to buy you Noah''s ark? 31143 Did I understand you to say, sir, that you had a wife and six children living in New York, and had never seen one of them?" |

31143 | Have you heard that young Dumas has entered the ministry? |
31143 | Have you not noticed,said the neighbour,"that your husband has a bunch of long coarse hair growing on a mole on one side of his neck?" |

31143 | How can that be? |
31143 | How did you leave Mrs. Hill and family? |
31143 | How do I know it? 31143 How do you know that?" |
31143 | How is he liked? |

31143 | I_ wonder_, does this train stop at Reading? |
31143 | In affliction? |
31143 | In what respects do you think he is changed? |
31143 | Is Round gone, then? |
31143 | Is it a passion, or an appetite, or an instinct? 31143 Is that really your experience?" |
31143 | It is not so, Fanny; you know it is not, and why do you say so? |
31143 | O, drowned, eh? |
31143 | O, why, he has been playing the same games with you as he did with the Church at Stukely, has n''t he? |
31143 | Oh what are we, Frail creatures as we are, that we should sit In judgment man on man? 31143 Or shall we conclude that it is entirely the work of art? |
31143 | Parent?--father or mother? |
31143 | Pay for what? |
31143 | Save his_ chist_? |
31143 | Then if the tongue_ can not_ be tamed, why attempt the task? |
31143 | Then you do n''t like it? |
31143 | Those are very beautiful lines, Mr. Smythe,I observed;"can you tell me whose they are?" |
31143 | True, it was; but what were his motives in its bestowment? 31143 Was it not beautiful?" |
31143 | What are you laughing at? |
31143 | What do you mean by''fine times''? |
31143 | What do you mean? |
31143 | What do you think of so and so? |
31143 | What does the gentleman mean? |
31143 | What has he gone there for? |
31143 | What have you got? 31143 What horse? |
31143 | What is a greater pedant than a mere man of the town? 31143 What is his name?" |
31143 | What is it, Mr. Eadie? 31143 What is that to me? |
31143 | What is your view,he asked again,"of the Hegelian''Absolute''?" |
31143 | What present, my boy? |
31143 | What shall be given unto, or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 31143 What''s that Bonner laughing at?" |
31143 | Where have you been all this time? 31143 Which of you,"he inquired,"can tell me in what part of Horace the following line occurs:--''Amor improbe non quid pectora mortalia cogis''?" |
31143 | Which question shall I answer first? |
31143 | Who ruined me? 31143 Who said he did?" |
31143 | Whose are they, then? |
31143 | Why did n''t you say, If you please? 31143 Why you fool,"at last said the exasperated cardinal,"you do n''t imagine I mean all this to the letter?" |
31143 | Why, Brother Robson, what is the matter? |
31143 | Why, he''s not dead, is he? |
31143 | Why,said he,"was not this ointment sold, and given to the poor?" |
31143 | Will you have a little tongue? |
31143 | Will you have the propitiousness, the kindness to stay and communicate unto me whether Squire Foster is in his residence? |
31143 | Yes, and what for? 31143 You accuse me of dogmatism, do you?" |
31143 | You have had fine times,he said,"in your Church with Mr. Good, have n''t you?" |
31143 | _ Pious_ man? |
31143 | _ Was_ they? |
31143 | ''Is there no hope?'' |
31143 | ''What,''said the hero, in reply,''have you, too, something to say about war, who are like the fish that has a sword, but no heart?'' |
31143 | ''_ From whose, I pray?_''So having nam''d the man, Straight to enquire his curious comrade ran. |
31143 | *****"Where have you been, Helen?" |
31143 | --"Why, how can you live so?" |
31143 | --''And, pray, sir, what was''t?'' |
31143 | --''Where may I find him?'' |
31143 | A friend of mine asked,''Is it not deep?'' |
31143 | A table well spread with fine- looking artificial flowers and viands may be nice for the eye, but who can satisfy his hunger and thirst with them? |
31143 | A tradin''man may be?" |
31143 | After this reply the couple sat a few moments in silence; then the interrogator again commenced,--"Was you ever blind, sir?" |
31143 | And do not the"small beginnings"of instruction lay the foundation of man''s or woman''s character? |
31143 | And do you expect that this will continue to the end?" |
31143 | And how is he to bridle his tongue? |
31143 | And then, what effect will it have upon the Church?" |
31143 | And what did this Reverend brother know of the other Reverend brother to justify him in speaking thus? |
31143 | And what did you say to_ him_, my dear?'' |
31143 | And who does not sympathise with this feeling when any one who has in a way been a friend is ever and anon boasting of it in conversation? |
31143 | And who has blamed them for it? |
31143 | Are you not mistaken?" |
31143 | As Mr. Long walked down the street, who should meet him but Mr. Stearns? |
31143 | But what did he care for hints? |
31143 | But where have you been, pray? |
31143 | But who is the man that offends not in word? |
31143 | Can faith save him?" |
31143 | Can he be guilty of a more heinous motive and aim? |
31143 | Can he commit a greater offence against his brother? |
31143 | Can the blind be made to see, or the deaf to hear? |
31143 | Content,"how it is that people talk so much about the superior abilities of our town councillor, Mr. Workman? |
31143 | Crump?" |
31143 | Did any excuse my lie-- any talk of my honour then? |
31143 | Did any say,''We can believe_ you_, Brown,''after that? |
31143 | Did he not expect to gain more than its value in certain ways that I need not mention?" |
31143 | Did not that show they were unable to resist the soothing influence of your long- continued and thoughtless words? |
31143 | Did you ever see a better likeness of the glorious hero of Waterloo than that? |
31143 | Did you not know that I and the Duke were old cronies? |
31143 | Did you say_ nothing_ of a crow at_ all_?'' |
31143 | Didst thou not fall out with a man for wearing his new doublet before Easter? |
31143 | Do n''t you know Mrs. Mount is a widow, and there is in our church that Squire Nance, a bachelor? |
31143 | Do n''t you think so?" |
31143 | Do not I know it? |
31143 | Do they not rather result in mutual ill- humour and enmity? |
31143 | Does he not seek applause or preferment thereby? |
31143 | Does it not too widely prevail in circles of Christian professors? |
31143 | Does it sound truthful? |
31143 | Dredge?" |
31143 | Dumas?" |
31143 | Eadie?" |
31143 | Everybody, in fact, was crowded out by his incessant talking; and, after all, what did it amount to? |
31143 | Good?" |
31143 | Good?" |
31143 | Goose, in his method of talk? |
31143 | Has he done you a charitable deed? |
31143 | Has not this taught you that you have been a drag upon their mental powers? |
31143 | Have I not had my brain seared, my heart riven, Hopes sapped, name blighted, life''s life lied away? |
31143 | Have n''t I said it is so? |
31143 | Have not I read it? |
31143 | Have they not said in the words of Job,"O that you would altogether hold your peace, and it should be your wisdom"? |
31143 | Have you been round by Netley Hall? |
31143 | Have you not perceived that these words are quite as necessary to my tale as the_ oaths_ and_ imprecations_ with which you seasoned yours? |
31143 | Have you not sometimes seen one or more go to sleep in company while you have been talking? |
31143 | Have you?" |
31143 | He has a way sometimes of ending his whispering revelations with a loud,"Do not you think so?" |
31143 | He may injure the feelings of some; he may offend the modesty of others, and break all the rules of decorum; but what does he care? |
31143 | He never asks,"Will it be wise to speak thus at this time? |
31143 | He spoke in such a rapid manner that all I could say was"Yes,""No,""Ah,""Eh,""Indeed,""Is it possible?" |
31143 | How can any one admit him to have real worth who will not admit another to have any? |
31143 | How can any one so insult the Holy, the All- Excellent, our Father, and best friend? |
31143 | How could he, when his character for probity was implicated, and his business was likely to suffer? |
31143 | How many a pretty gentleman''s knowledge lies all within the verge of the court? |
31143 | How shall I meet the Superintendent again? |
31143 | How soon might I not fail? |
31143 | How would you like another to impose his talk upon you to the extent you impose your talk upon him? |
31143 | I have thought, Whence this failing? |
31143 | I should like to know what right you have to say it is gratuitous? |
31143 | I think so because I have frequently noticed him saying as soon as he has begun,"Have not I told you this before?" |
31143 | If I do not argue, who does? |
31143 | If he has in him that which appears laudable, how can he expect commendation for it, when he refuses it to others with similar claims? |
31143 | If he want knowledge, has he not funds yet untouched, or powers equal to any discovery? |
31143 | In fact, was not he_ the_ wise man from the East? |
31143 | Is Tittle- Tattle, or Rumour, or Mischief Maker, or Slanderer, or Blabber in this company, who will make capital out of what I say?" |
31143 | Is any one the better? |
31143 | Is he not rather an ideal being than a_ real_ one? |
31143 | Is it a habit to be encouraged or connived at? |
31143 | Is it not fine? |
31143 | Is it not grand?" |
31143 | Is it not his interest to be so? |
31143 | Is there a remedy for this talker? |
31143 | Is there not too much of this kind of talk in the companies of ministers of religion? |
31143 | Is this the proper person to whom I should say it? |
31143 | It is not said that moral guilt may be its immediate consequence; but is it a kind of talk altogether innocent? |
31143 | Lie to them to conceal myself or my acts? |
31143 | Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? |
31143 | Mr. Monopolist, can you refrain a little longer while I say a few more words? |
31143 | My reader, do you see and approve the ideal? |
31143 | No one could, for who knew whether my integrity might not again fail? |
31143 | O do let us pray for him, Mr. Smith, lest the flattering lips prove his ruin?" |
31143 | O how shall I, most gracious Lord, This mark of true perfection find? |
31143 | Of course he tells as a secret what you tell him as a secret; but if he can not retain it, how can he expect others? |
31143 | One could hear the responses at intervals to his statements,--"Oh"--"Ah"--"A pity you are so sick"--"Why, I never"--"Dear me"--"Is it possible?" |
31143 | Pepper?" |
31143 | Proctor?" |
31143 | Round, accompanied by Mrs. Blunt? |
31143 | Shall I give offence or deceive by speaking in this way? |
31143 | Slack of K---- had said, the answer was,"_ O, Mr. Great I said it, did he?_"and so it passed away as vapour. |
31143 | Slack, who gave him one of his egotistic shakes of the hand, and said,"How are you this morning?" |
31143 | Smith?" |
31143 | Smith?" |
31143 | Solomon says of the egotist,"Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? |
31143 | The next day I met Mr. Hungerford, and almost the first thing he said was,--"What is the name of that individual who called upon you last night?" |
31143 | The swearer may ask,"Where is the evil of an oath when it is used for the support of truth?" |
31143 | The time of the"singing of birds"and the efflorescence of trees is very welcome; but who does not equally welcome the time of fruit- bearing also? |
31143 | Then the interrogator again inquired,--"How can it be, sir, that you never saw one of them?" |
31143 | This is a small affair at best, some may say; but do not"Large streams from little fountains flow-- Tall oaks from little acorns grow?" |
31143 | This statement excited curiosity at once, and the question was immediately put,"What does he say?" |
31143 | To which Falsehood replies:--"What have I done? |
31143 | Turning to our narrator behind him,"What did they make you pay for that umbrella you''ve got in your hand?" |
31143 | Was it not a grand piece of eloquence, of originality, and of literary power? |
31143 | Was it not magnificent?" |
31143 | Was it not rather the benevolence of Mr. Lord and his friend Squance?" |
31143 | Was not he a philosopher? |
31143 | Watson?" |
31143 | Watson?" |
31143 | We want the reality, and where can he be found?" |
31143 | Webster?" |
31143 | What advantage comes of the uncharitable criticisms and judgments which are passed one upon the other? |
31143 | What are these but rank pedants? |
31143 | What authority has he for his intrusions? |
31143 | What did Nehemiah know about Gashmu? |
31143 | What did any one know? |
31143 | What did those young people care to know about his health, excepting the usual compliments at such times? |
31143 | What do you think, Arthur?" |
31143 | What eye but such eye would spy out such a quarrel? |
31143 | What had he not read? |
31143 | What is it?" |
31143 | What is it?" |
31143 | What is its just measure, its proper object, its ultimate end? |
31143 | What is to be done? |
31143 | What man ever involved himself in difficulties through silence? |
31143 | What say you, my lads, will you grant me this favour?" |
31143 | What will be the consequence to the absent of my making this statement concerning them? |
31143 | Where had he not been? |
31143 | Where is boasting then? |
31143 | Where is he to be found? |
31143 | Where is the salve that would give him this power of vision? |
31143 | Where was my honour_ then_--my manliness? |
31143 | Who are you, to be so bold? |
31143 | Who but a Cowper could have written that admirable extract just given to us by Mr. Burr, and which was read with such elegance?" |
31143 | Who is at the head of it?" |
31143 | Who is so wise as he? |
31143 | Who likes to have himself, in his motives and deeds, put through the crucible of his narrow, prickly, stingy soul? |
31143 | Who likes to have his motives called in question? |
31143 | Who thinks another a fool because he does not talk? |
31143 | Why does he receive the secret with the strong promise,"I will tell no one, upon my honour,"if he can not retain it in his own bosom? |
31143 | Why should I shrink before my fellows for anything I had done? |
31143 | Why should feeling ever speak When thou canst breathe her soul so well? |
31143 | Why so?" |
31143 | Will you walk in?" |
31143 | Will you, Squire, give me the pleasure and allow me the happiness of introducing and bringing to your acquaintance my friend Mr. Pope? |
31143 | Would not old and young more readily have been corrected and improved?" |
31143 | Would you believe it, sir, that I stood first in the last grand oratorio which took place in the great metropolis? |
31143 | Would you believe me, sir, that I have the entire list of the classics in my library?" |
31143 | Yet where would be the harm in wishing him in heaven, where none shall ever say they are sick?" |
31143 | You affirm it to be gratuitous, do you? |
31143 | _ Doth Job serve God for nought?_"So said the father of detractors more than two thousand years ago. |
31143 | _ THE EGOTIST._"What cracker is this same, that deafs our ears With this abundance of superfluous breath?" |
31143 | a physician? |
31143 | a theologian? |
31143 | a vice which men have invented for themselves without prospect of pleasure or profit, and to which there is no imaginable temptation in nature? |
31143 | an historian? |
31143 | and do you mean to insult me by saying it is only gratuitous?" |
31143 | and were you not pleased to see him?" |
31143 | and what have you in that bundle?" |
31143 | and when he died, would not wisdom die with him? |
31143 | and where the trust reposed in me? |
31143 | cholery? |
31143 | for who should be ushered into the room by the servant but an unexpected caller? |
31143 | has he been heroic in an act of mercy? |
31143 | has he given a contribution to an object of beneficence? |
31143 | has he made a good bargain in business? |
31143 | has he performed some feat of gymnastics? |
31143 | how do you do, Mr. Hill? |
31143 | is n''t there enough to excite me? |
31143 | mother, have n''t I a right to ask my sister all the questions I please? |
31143 | never speak one evil word, Or rash, or idle, or unkind? |
31143 | or who knows whether he is guilty of it or not? |
31143 | replied Jones, with a dogmatic sneer;"how can I forget what he never had, and underrate powers which he never possessed? |
31143 | said one who was listening;"and do you intend that as a caution to us against seeking happiness in the same way?" |
31143 | said the monk,"so you have been a_ liar_ too have you?" |
31143 | what hast thou done To compare, in thy tumid pride, with me? |
31143 | what is the appearance of anything? |
31143 | what''s to pay?" |
31143 | with another, for tying his new shoes with old ribbons? |
37016 | Certainly he would do wrong,says Antipater;"is it not, in fact, leading a man into error knowingly?" |
37016 | Do we not see,he says,"that the external worship follows necessarily the internal worship of love? |
37016 | How much in adversity do we not wish for a friend, especially an effective friend, one finding in his own resources abundant means for helping us? 37016 Now, is prayer sufficient? |
37016 | To this, my wife replied:''In what can I assist thee? 37016 What is a benefaction?" |
37016 | What is after all the wrong the ingrate does you? 37016 Which, according to you, is the most culpable, he who feels no gratitude for a kindness, or he who does not even keep it in mind?... |
37016 | Who would,says Bossuet,"dare think of other excesses which reveal themselves in a still more dangerous manner? |
37016 | Will the setting one''s foot,says J. J. Rousseau,"on a piece of common ground be sufficient to declare one''s self at once the master of it? |
37016 | _ Socrates_: One should then commit no injustice whatsoever? |
37016 | ''And do you not tell them,''said Socrates,''the fable of the dog? |
37016 | ''Then,''added Socrates,''because they are free and related to you, do you think that they ought to do nothing else but eat and sleep? |
37016 | ''What do you mean, sir? |
37016 | --"And did you observe what is written somewhere on the temple- wall: Know Thyself?" |
37016 | --"Think you that to know one''s self it is enough to know one''s own name? |
37016 | --"When have I said to thee that I was immortal?" |
37016 | --''Well; but what is your motive? |
37016 | --''What do you mean, sir? |
37016 | --Good Socrates, what sayest thou? |
37016 | = The absence of a profession-- Leisure.=--Is it a duty to have a profession? |
37016 | And again, wherein is the public functionary superior to this or that merchant, this or that big farmer, this or that great builder or contractor? |
37016 | And are there none at Olympia? |
37016 | And can the honor of a sensible man be at the mercy of the first ruffian he meets? |
37016 | And how could they know each other if they did not talk to each other? |
37016 | And if this be so, thinkest thou thy rights equal to ours; and that thou art permitted to make us suffer for what we make thee suffer? |
37016 | And must they not learn the use of arms in order to be efficient on the day when the country shall need them? |
37016 | And shouldst thou refuse to attend thy functions as man? |
37016 | And think you that one alone is enough to condemn a man to death? |
37016 | And why should I hesitate to look at any of my faults when I can say to myself: Take care not to do so again: for to- day I forgive thee? |
37016 | And, finally, is it really true that we have only duties towards those that have duties towards us? |
37016 | Are the two contracting parties here I and myself? |
37016 | Are there duties toward God? |
37016 | Are these always in an exact proportion to merit? |
37016 | Are these suicides? |
37016 | Are we not permitted, then, to change the nature of any thing because all that is, is as he wished it? |
37016 | Are you not crowded? |
37016 | Are you not heated? |
37016 | Are you not wet through, when it happens to rain? |
37016 | Are you not without good conveniences for bathing? |
37016 | As for those who do not reach the spot, think you they will escape the consequences of the battle? |
37016 | Beyond a certain limit, will not the interest become what we call_ usury_? |
37016 | But are there, indeed, in man naturally malevolent inclinations? |
37016 | But by what right should work be prohibited to woman more than to man? |
37016 | But for a falsehood to be harmless, does it follow that it is not bad? |
37016 | But how, in what manner, and to what degree must we be modest? |
37016 | But if it be true, why should we not say so? |
37016 | But if one were sure not to become cruel towards men, would it follow therefrom that it is permitted to be so towards animals? |
37016 | But in case of loss or deterioration of the thing loaned, resulting from the use made of it, on whom is to fall the loss? |
37016 | But what is to be understood by the terms_ recompense_ and_ punishment_? |
37016 | But what is to determine the extent of this territory? |
37016 | But what more vague than such terms? |
37016 | But what remedy? |
37016 | But when in a society all legal inequalities have been suppressed, does it necessarily follow that an absolute equality will be the final result? |
37016 | But who does not know that to make a good use of a fortune is more profitable to society than dissipation? |
37016 | But who in these days troubles himself about aristocratic names? |
37016 | But who will defend the country in case of attack if it be not its young and robust men? |
37016 | But why could we not also suppose a third duty, commanding us to observe the former, and so_ ad infinitum_? |
37016 | But, it may be asked, suppose the parents command their children to do an immoral thing? |
37016 | But, it may be asked, why all these inequalities? |
37016 | But, strictly speaking, can a being endowed with sensibility be called a thing? |
37016 | CLEANTE: Denier eighteen? |
37016 | CLEANTE: Is there anything more? |
37016 | Can he who makes himself a worm complain if he be crushed? |
37016 | Can it, for example, go so far as the taking of life even? |
37016 | Can sentiment become a duty? |
37016 | Canius wondered:"What means this, Pythius? |
37016 | Certainly, but why might not the minority be also mistaken? |
37016 | Did Cæsar send a challenge to Cato, or Pompey to Cæsar? |
37016 | Diogenes, on the contrary, replies:"Were you obliged to buy? |
37016 | Do the insults of a drunkard prove that one deserves them? |
37016 | Do you not have uproar and noise, and other disagreeable circumstances? |
37016 | Does he not give the same signs of impressions received? |
37016 | Does he not then take the place of him who knows and might save the patient? |
37016 | Does it follow, however, that there can never be any injustice in sale or purchase? |
37016 | Does one no longer belong to God when dead? |
37016 | Does this solitary expression of my faith, my love, my ignorance, suffice the wants of my heart and my duties toward God? |
37016 | Dost thou not, in the first place, owe us thy life? |
37016 | Duty of silence: in what cases? |
37016 | Even though you had not taught us any of these things, should we be less numerous, less flourishing, more depraved?" |
37016 | For how can malefactors be prosecuted without employing force? |
37016 | For when does rest, leisure, recreation give us most pleasure? |
37016 | Free in the innermost of my thought, shall I be confined to a silent worship? |
37016 | Has he not the same senses, the same nervous system? |
37016 | Hast thou ceased to exist? |
37016 | Have you not received a manly spirit? |
37016 | Have you not received greatness of soul? |
37016 | Have you not received patience? |
37016 | He has, it is true, the resource of doing nothing; but might not this also be manslaughter? |
37016 | How are we to know them? |
37016 | How can I vote? |
37016 | How can a lawyer defend as innocent one who is guilty? |
37016 | How can any one attend the sick if he knows nothing of the human body; if he is ignorant of the symptoms of a disease? |
37016 | How can we educate ourselves without eating? |
37016 | How can we improve the heart and soul when want impels us to all sorts of temptations? |
37016 | How could a society as complicated as ours dare to trust its security to so hazardous an experiment? |
37016 | How could justice be rendered, instruction be given, the territory be defended, the roads kept up, without money? |
37016 | How could men get to love each other if they did not know each other? |
37016 | How could this philosopher be sure that_ these things_ did not feel? |
37016 | How could you determine the amount of property requisite to belong to either of these categories-- the rich or the poor? |
37016 | How do we call such a state? |
37016 | How do we extend this primitive right over things which are outside of ourselves? |
37016 | How do we go beyond that? |
37016 | How far can this right of force go? |
37016 | How is this to be remedied? |
37016 | How many men are there who, in possession of a sum of one hundred francs, would not rather spend it than place it on interest? |
37016 | How much more difficult when it comes to risking a popularity already acquired? |
37016 | How often does it not, on the contrary, happen that the idleness of his youth determines the whole course of the man''s life? |
37016 | How shall we conciliate, however, the just severity which vice deserves, with the spirit of kindness which charity and brotherly love demand of us? |
37016 | How shall we proceed to substitute a good habit for a bad one? |
37016 | I have certainly a right to the place my own body would occupy, but no further: for where would my right then stop? |
37016 | I have deceived thee, oh thou rash one? |
37016 | If I am willing to have recourse to law in a case of robbery, why should I not appeal to this same law when my honor is attacked? |
37016 | If the return of the funds appears more or less doubtful, why should he not have the right to protect himself?" |
37016 | If there is no being to love me and my fellow- men, why should I be held to love them? |
37016 | If this is so, should we wish to do to others as we wish in similar circumstances, namely, in the gratification of passions, to be done by? |
37016 | If thou owest us thy birth and education, canst thou deny that thou art our child and servant? |
37016 | If we consider the will of God, what evil is there for us to combat, that he has not himself sent us? |
37016 | If, for instance, we have done wrong, do we generally wish to be corrected and punished? |
37016 | In one word, and to conclude, if God were an illusion, why could not virtue be an illusion also? |
37016 | In short, man belongs to himself: is not that the first of ownerships, and the basis of all the others? |
37016 | In thus busying themselves with the welfare of the people, could these holy men find leisure to engage in agriculture?" |
37016 | In what hast thou become better? |
37016 | In which condition will men be more temperate, living in idleness or attending to useful employments? |
37016 | In which condition will they be more honest, if they work, or if they sit in idleness meditating how to procure necessaries?'' |
37016 | Instead of allowing itself to be overcome by hunger, by cold, by all sorts of ill- treatments, does it not overcome them? |
37016 | Inward lying.--Can one lie to himself? |
37016 | Is it necessary, in order that the duty of work be truly accomplished, that it be both painful and useless? |
37016 | Is it not because others have been there before us that we have been enabled to grow up peacefully and happy to the age of manhood? |
37016 | Is it not clear that one can be under no obligation towards him of whom one has a right to demand everything? |
37016 | Is it not just that we should take their place and in our turn watch over the country? |
37016 | Is it not that each sees above him a position he covets, and which he seeks to secure? |
37016 | Is it the same with the destruction of animals intended for our nourishment? |
37016 | Is it true again that an animal has no kind of rights? |
37016 | Is it true, moreover, that an animal has no intelligence, no will-- that consequently it has not any vestige of personality? |
37016 | Is not nature herself adorned? |
37016 | Is not the animal organized in the same manner as man? |
37016 | Is not the being born of the same parents, the having been brought up together, very strong reasons to love one another? |
37016 | Is not this generally what we all wish, when the voice of duty is mute and does not silence our passionate feelings? |
37016 | Is one obliged to keep his promise when the fulfillment of it is injurious to those to whom it was made? |
37016 | Is our conscience satisfied if we can assure ourselves that we have not contributed to his sufferings? |
37016 | Is the growing crop my property? |
37016 | Is the respect I have for myself founded on one of those arbitrary agreements which cease to be when the two parties freely renounce it? |
37016 | Is there nothing more needed? |
37016 | Is this destruction innocent, or must we, as did the Pythagoreans or Brahmins of old( for superstitious reasons, however), interdict all animal food? |
37016 | Is this duty the only one? |
37016 | Is thy soul annihilated? |
37016 | It will, perhaps, be said that_ sentiments_ can not be erected into_ duties_: for how can I force myself to feel what I do not feel? |
37016 | May that be considered a cause of irresponsibility? |
37016 | May we not say the same of the one Theseus claimed of Neptune? |
37016 | Must we count among the number of voluntary mutilations, the religious mortifications or macerations by which the devout manifest their piety? |
37016 | Now, if thou hadst in thy hands all possible earthly happiness, wouldst thou keep it wholly to thyself, or share it with thy fellow- beings? |
37016 | Now, what are the titles to this superior authority? |
37016 | Now, what is_ honesty_? |
37016 | Now, who will furnish the rule for sacrifice, the formula for self- renunciation? |
37016 | Of prudence or practical wisdom.--Can it be called a virtue? |
37016 | On the contrary, do we not rather wish to be allowed to enjoy it, and have the free range of our vices? |
37016 | On the professions? |
37016 | On those who exercise public functions and those who do not? |
37016 | On whom is it incumbent to do away with such inequalities? |
37016 | Or do you suppose your mother meditates evil toward you?" |
37016 | Ought we not, whether we dig, or plough, or eat, to sing this hymn to God? |
37016 | Our duties in regard to animals, are they, however, of a kind to make us doubt our right to destroy or reduce them to servitude? |
37016 | Pleasure and the good.=--Morality being, as we have said, the science of the_ good_, the first question that presents itself is: What is_ good_? |
37016 | Property.=--What is property? |
37016 | Rights and duties of the creditor.--Money interest.--Usury.=--And first, is it a duty to loan to any that ask you? |
37016 | Say, for example, homicide: is it not evident that the murder of a benefactor is the most abominable of all? |
37016 | Shall I not be allowed to express what I think? |
37016 | Shall I not use my powers to that purpose for which I received them; but lament and groan at every casualty? |
37016 | Shall we put the one kind and the other on the same level? |
37016 | Shall we sacrifice life- long pleasures to pleasures that last but an hour? |
37016 | Shall we still say that each of these groups forms a class? |
37016 | Shall we take material work-- work of hand, as a class distinction among men? |
37016 | Shall we, in order to avoid cupidity and avarice, run into dissipation and prodigality? |
37016 | Shall you say that the rich man is he who has any capital, and the poor, he who has not any? |
37016 | Should we not rather do to them what we should not like them do to us, that is, punish and correct them? |
37016 | Shouldst thou not follow the biddings of nature? |
37016 | Suicide, it is said again, is rebellion against Providence.--But how? |
37016 | Suppose, by any means, it should ever come into your head to kill me; must you keep to such a determination?'' |
37016 | Suppose, then, these public functionaries should seek the death of him who has committed all these crimes, how would they proceed? |
37016 | The child, we have said, needs protection for a long time: does the mother''s protection suffice? |
37016 | The duel.=--Does the duel come under the head of legitimate self- defense? |
37016 | The rights of man.=--What are the principal rights of man? |
37016 | The second question is: How long does the duty of obedience last? |
37016 | There remains then to know what is to be done in cases of conflict between our duties, and if moral law does not in certain cases relent? |
37016 | Therefore must the family have a protector; and who should be the natural protector of the child, if not the father? |
37016 | This is Socrates''own interpretation of it in his conversations with his disciples:"Tell me, Euthydemus, have you ever gone to Delphi?" |
37016 | This is a remarkably striking argument:[19] Did ever the valiant men of antiquity think of avenging their personal insults by single combats? |
37016 | This picture being an image of both lives, canst thou say that that of the libertine is happier than that of the temperate man?" |
37016 | This principle of the right of the majorities has often been questioned: for, it is said, why might not the majority be mistaken? |
37016 | Thus did Sextius; when his daily work was done, he questioned his soul: Of what defect hast thou cured thyself to- day? |
37016 | To whom belongs this_ rôle_ of educator, protector, sustainer? |
37016 | Upon what, then, shall we base class differences? |
37016 | Was I born to remain warmly in bed under my cover?--But it is so pleasant.--Wert thou born for pleasure, then? |
37016 | Was it not for action, for work? |
37016 | Was it not under our auspices that thy father took to himself the companion that gave thee birth? |
37016 | We hear often the term_ laboring classes_--men, namely, who live by work of hand; but are not those who work with their brains, workers also? |
37016 | Well, and have you not received faculties by which you may support every event? |
37016 | Were it not an actual lie? |
37016 | What am I able to do? |
37016 | What are the respective duties of these two classes? |
37016 | What cause of complaint hast thou against us that thou shouldst try to destroy us? |
37016 | What do you call external worship if this be not it? |
37016 | What else then dost thou do?" |
37016 | What hold can the vain opinion of others have upon true honor, the roots of which are in the depths of the heart? |
37016 | What is avarice? |
37016 | What is it marks in society the rich and the poor? |
37016 | What is its origin and principle? |
37016 | What is morality? |
37016 | What is now the principle of this authority? |
37016 | What is prodigality? |
37016 | What is the law which is to regulate the relations between words and thoughts? |
37016 | What moral and social reasons justify it, rendering its maintenance both sacred and necessary? |
37016 | What more different than a physician, a man of letters, a soldier, a merchant? |
37016 | What more just, also, than to love perfect goodness and the source of all love? |
37016 | What now are the principal causes of these inequalities, which I call individual inequalities? |
37016 | What objections has it raised? |
37016 | What passion hast thou combated? |
37016 | What shall I say of his moral education and intellectual development? |
37016 | What shall disconcert or trouble or appear grievous to me? |
37016 | What shall we say of Agamemnon? |
37016 | What signifies to me anything that happens, while my soul is above it? |
37016 | What use would it be to men to be all equal if they were all miserable? |
37016 | What will be the natural result? |
37016 | What would be more ridiculous than a seller who would make known the defects of the thing he puts up for sale? |
37016 | What would be the result if the human race were deprived of half its means of subsistence? |
37016 | What, then, are the ties to determine the existence of a country? |
37016 | When we are yielding to a passion, do we wish to be repressed in it, have it repelled? |
37016 | Where does barren enjoyment begin? |
37016 | Where does legitimate need end? |
37016 | Where does poverty stop? |
37016 | Where would it be without me? |
37016 | Wherein is the man who works mentally more idle than he who works with his hands? |
37016 | Which of us has the better part, you or I? |
37016 | Who can deny it?... |
37016 | Who has told thee so? |
37016 | Who is to decide that it shall go so far and no farther? |
37016 | Who would reproach a man for being born blind, or because he became so in consequence of sickness or a blow? |
37016 | Who, then, will assure us that it is different with us, and that we are the only ones free from this illusion? |
37016 | Who, without the hope of gaining paradise, would think of God? |
37016 | Why are some happy and others unhappy? |
37016 | Why are the idle and prodigal sometimes rich? |
37016 | Why are the poor overwhelmed by both work and poverty? |
37016 | Why does every one work? |
37016 | Why is there any inequality at all? |
37016 | Why not look at the thing from the lender''s standpoint? |
37016 | Why sayest thou: Virtue is nothing when thou art now about entering into the enjoyment of thine? |
37016 | Why should I take so much trouble to so little purpose? |
37016 | Why should it be allowable to get cured of the gout and not of life? |
37016 | Why should not the cry of the animal express pain as does the cry of a child? |
37016 | Why some rich, fortunate, powerful, intelligent, virtuous even? |
37016 | Why the rich and the poor? |
37016 | Why, for instance, is there in general very little merit in respecting other people''s property and abstaining from theft? |
37016 | Why, on the other hand, is there great merit in sacrificing one''s life to the happiness of others? |
37016 | Why, supposing this inequality must exist, has it no connection with merit or the work of the individual? |
37016 | Why? |
37016 | Will you never perceive what you are, or for what you were born, or for what purpose you are admitted to behold this spectacle? |
37016 | Would it not also occur to thee to ask thyself whether thou art thyself worthy of happiness? |
37016 | Would it not be to say at the same time give and not give, feed and not feed, share and not share?" |
37016 | Would it really be doing good to these men to grant them the object of their desires, what may satisfy their passions? |
37016 | Would they plunge the dagger in his breast at once? |
37016 | Yet, is it always doing good to a person to procure him pleasure? |
37016 | [ 121] In fact, what is temperance, if it is not a certain kind of courage before the pleasures of the senses? |
37016 | [ 138] And shall I speak of Iris, loved and praised by all? |
37016 | [ 173]_ Teacher._--What is thy greatest and even thy only wish on earth? |
37016 | [ 174]_ Teacher._--Is it not always to succeed in everything according to thy wishes and will? |
37016 | [ 82]"Another question presents itself now: How far, in its relation to its parents, should the child''s absolute obedience go? |
37016 | _ Pretended Exceptions._--The duty of obedience to the laws must then be admitted as a principle; but is this duty absolute? |
37016 | _ Teacher._--What do we call this necessity of acting conformably to the law of reason? |
37016 | and does not this single condition, without equivalent, without exchange, carry with it the nullity of the act? |
37016 | and if inequality must exist, why is it not in proportion to inequality of merit and individual work? |
37016 | and is it always doing him harm, to cause him pain? |
37016 | is it not susceptible of some exceptions? |
37016 | of the wife, if not the husband? |
37016 | said father Malebranche, coolly,"do you not know that these things do not feel?" |
37016 | that the slander of a benefactor is the most criminal of slanders? |
37016 | that to rob a benefactor is the most horrible of robberies? |
37016 | the lies of a slanderer can destroy real virtues? |
37016 | they would proceed to say,"than violate the treaty that binds thee to us, and trample under foot thy agreement?... |
37016 | what economy, if not courage before the temptations of fortune? |
37016 | what justice and benevolence, if not the courage to sacrifice self- interest to the interest of others? |
37016 | what veracity, if not the courage to tell the truth under all circumstances? |
37016 | who will deliver me from the body of this death? |
6463 | ( 1) Shall we aim directly at the happiness of all men now living? |
6463 | ( 1) Should everybody count as one, and nobody as more than one? |
6463 | ( 1) To whom shall the State grant a share in the formulation and execution of its laws? |
6463 | ( 2) Are some pleasures actually regarded as more desirable than others, solely through the application of the standard given above? |
6463 | ( 2) Shall we admit to the circle generations yet unborn? |
6463 | ( 2) Why not follow the analogy suggested by duties to the family, the neighborhood, the state? |
6463 | ( 3) Can a man do more than his duty? |
6463 | ( 3) Can the pleasure of a malignant act properly be called_ morally_ good at all? |
6463 | ( 4) Shall we enlarge the circle so as to include the lower animals? |
6463 | ( c) Who shall decide for us whether life is-- not desired, it is admittedly that, as a rule,--but, also,_ desirable_? |
6463 | A fellow- countryman, a savage, a criminal, a bird, a fish-- all without distinction?" |
6463 | ARGUMENTS AGAINST INTUITIONISM.--What may be urged against Intuitionism? |
6463 | ARGUMENTS FOR INTUITIONISM.--What may be said in favor of intuitionism? |
6463 | Absorbing as it may be to him, how can the philologist prove that his science is useful to humanity either present or prospective? |
6463 | And art thou unwilling to do the work of a human being? |
6463 | And dost thou not make haste to do that which is according to thy nature?" |
6463 | And how many individuals shall we include in our reckoning? |
6463 | And if so, on what ground? |
6463 | And what is the natural and proper measure of punishment? |
6463 | And what shall we say of such things as religious duties, of cheerfulness, of good manners, of personal cleanliness? |
6463 | And where can a man seek ends of any sort beyond this broad field? |
6463 | Are not religions, rationally compared, of different values? |
6463 | Are pleasures, as pleasures, alike? |
6463 | Are punishments to be"deterrent"? |
6463 | Are the eldest sons of a few families peculiarly fitted by nature to be governors of the State? |
6463 | Are the enlightened adherents of a given sect wholly ignorant of the tenets and of the arguments of another? |
6463 | Are there not as many prizes as there are competitors? |
6463 | Are we to regard him as a mere lawless egoist, or as something more? |
6463 | Are, however, pleasures and pains strictly commensurable? |
6463 | As Bentham expressed it: The question is not,"Can they_ reason_? |
6463 | At what point does deception blossom out into the unmistakable lie? |
6463 | Besides, is there any reason why the social will should be blind to the fact that men generally do desire to gain pleasure and to avoid pain? |
6463 | But do men live well who leave morals out of the question? |
6463 | But how decide who is the wise and good man? |
6463 | But how discover what demands are just? |
6463 | But how do things look when we turn our attention to the relations between states? |
6463 | But is the-- we must admit, somewhat more disinterested-- resentment of the community a rational thing? |
6463 | But to what law shall we have recourse? |
6463 | But what degree of intensity will overbalance what period of duration? |
6463 | But what shall be accounted guilt? |
6463 | But what shall be done to the man who steals half of a ham or a third of a watermelon?] |
6463 | But what shall we say of resolves which can not at once be carried out in action? |
6463 | But who are the moralists? |
6463 | But why does anyone object to his being a dirty fellow? |
6463 | But why should this pattern man be assumed to be better or worthier than a man of a different sort? |
6463 | But why should we limit ourselves to the standpoint of the individual, in judging of the rationality of ends? |
6463 | But why? |
6463 | But, it may be asked, how shall this end be defined in detail? |
6463 | But_ how_ clean should he be? |
6463 | By intuition? |
6463 | By what means? |
6463 | Can Moral Self- sacrifice be a Duty? |
6463 | Can a man who listens to these three counsellors be sure that he is right in a given decision? |
6463 | Can anything be said in favor of this impulse? |
6463 | Can he be sure that the two are necessarily in accord? |
6463 | Can it, then, be called self- realization? |
6463 | Can it_ be approved?_ No reflective moralist would maintain that it can. |
6463 | Can such, by any human ingenuity, be moulded into anything resembling an orderly community? |
6463 | Can the Social Will object to a man''s striving to Realize his Capacities-- under proper control, and with a regard to others? |
6463 | Can there be a rational adjustment of the claims of each? |
6463 | Can we describe in the same terms what is natural to man everywhere and always? |
6463 | Can we do away with the special claims of family, of neighborhood, of the state? |
6463 | Can we put into one class those who preach a short- sighted selfishness or a calculating egoism and those who urge upon us the law of love? |
6463 | Can we use the expression without going on to ask: Accepted where, when, and by whom? |
6463 | Could a human society of any sort exist if there were no sympathy or tender feeling, no impulse to seek the company of other men? |
6463 | Could there be a development of knowledge in the absence of curiosity? |
6463 | Could there be a more striking contrast than that between the mediaeval code and those of the great Greek thinkers? |
6463 | Did not a critical utilitarianism resolve itself into the doctrine of the Rational Social Will? |
6463 | Do I perceive the man whom I see, when I look into a mirror, to be behind the mirror or in front of it? |
6463 | Do I perceive the whereabouts of the coach which I hear rattling by my window, or does reasoning play its part in giving me information? |
6463 | Do men really hold this, if they are thoughtful? |
6463 | Do virtuous men, in so far as they are virtuous, stand in each other''s light? |
6463 | Does any state actually make it a practice to treat its neighbor as itself? |
6463 | Does he dishonor them who so views them? |
6463 | Does he, as an individualist, stand within hail of Kant? |
6463 | Does humanity, on the whole, gain or lose by a given degree of conservatism? |
6463 | Does it not appear self- evident that a man should be law- abiding, honest, industrious, truthful, and capable of unselfishness? |
6463 | Does it seem self- evident that it is reasonable, in general, to multiply desires with no guarantee of their satisfaction? |
6463 | Does it, in dealing with other nations, civilized or backward, propose what is palpably to its own advantage, or is it evidently disinterested? |
6463 | Does, then, anything seem more natural than egoism? |
6463 | Equivocal Egoism? |
6463 | Finally, as men are by nature social creatures, how can a man fully realize his capacities without becoming a truly unselfish being? |
6463 | HUMAN NATURE AND THE OBJECTS CHOSEN.--What objects do men actually desire and will to attain? |
6463 | Has it not dissolved into the doctrine of the Real Social Will? |
6463 | Have men, collectively, no whims, no prejudices? |
6463 | Have the animals rights? |
6463 | Have there not been religions indisputably on a moral level lower than that of the community which they represent? |
6463 | Have those who have had their share in oligarchies been peculiarly wise and peculiarly devoted to the common good? |
6463 | Have we any other guarantee that we can make it, in the long run, rational, than a many- sided development of man''s capacities? |
6463 | Have we been moving in the right direction, as judged by the standard of the Rational Social Will? |
6463 | He who finds in him a greater exhibition of activity may with equal justice address to himself the question: Why is activity, in itself, of value? |
6463 | How Can One Know the Moral Law? |
6463 | How Discover Man''s Nature? |
6463 | How are delights and miseries to be weighed, and reasonably balanced? |
6463 | How are we to distinguish those that are always valid from others? |
6463 | How can I here speak of the beginning of action? |
6463 | How can it concern him to learn how the self came to be what it is, or what it will be in the distant future? |
6463 | How can there be cooperation if there are no social habits upon which men may count in their dealings with one another? |
6463 | How can we know that three pleasures counterbalance a pain? |
6463 | How do we discover that, in an isosceles triangle, the sides which subtend the equal angles are equal? |
6463 | How does it happen that their intelligence does not help them? |
6463 | How far do the cases differ in principle? |
6463 | How impartial and how ready to introduce innovations should men be in any field? |
6463 | How is this seeming miracle accomplished? |
6463 | How long would the race endure if the parental instinct were wholly lacking? |
6463 | How much admixture of pain is called for to reduce the value of a pleasure to zero? |
6463 | How much of the ballast of conservatism and of loyalty to tradition is it well to throw overboard in the interest of accelerated motion? |
6463 | How shall we be benevolent? |
6463 | How shall we judge of the blow that takes away human life? |
6463 | How shall we persuade men that it is their duty to make this good their end? |
6463 | How should one dress? |
6463 | How should the individual choose his satisfactions? |
6463 | How should the"lots"of happiness be measured? |
6463 | How would it affect their standards of right and wrong were evolution expressly taken into account? |
6463 | How"backward"must a nation be to give us the right to rule over it by force? |
6463 | How, it has been asked, can an end, which does not, as yet, exist, be a cause which sets in motion the apparatus that brings about its own existence? |
6463 | IS THERE AN ACCEPTED CONTENT? |
6463 | If God is not going to repay him with interest for the pains which he gives himself, does he not play the part of a dupe in being good? |
6463 | If a man has injured another unintentionally, shall he be held to make amends? |
6463 | If a society can not be happy without cleanliness, for whatever reason, is it not the duty of the individual to be clean? |
6463 | If a thing is_ proved_, how can a man_ help_ believing it? |
6463 | If error is possible there, why not here? |
6463 | If it is useful to go so far, may it not be much more useful to go still farther? |
6463 | If my aim is unselfish devotion to humanity, how can I lose if my neighbor attains in the same running? |
6463 | If the body and mind of man are products of evolution, must we not admit as much of man''s moral intuitions? |
6463 | In answer to the question: Why should I act thus? |
6463 | In answer to the question: Why should I say this or that? |
6463 | In this case, may not the transaction properly be called self- sacrifice? |
6463 | Is courage a virtue? |
6463 | Is it a check to the action of the individual? |
6463 | Is it by the mere fact that we_ will_ as we do, in a given instance? |

6463 | Is it egoism that leads the young mother to give herself the exquisite pleasure of feeding and caring for her babes? |
6463 | Is it irrational for the larger group to set such influences to work by holding the lesser group responsible in its collective capacity? |
6463 | Is it not enough to set him thinking about it? |
6463 | Is it not inevitable that reflective men, who cherish beliefs, should endeavor to give a more or less clear and reasoned account of them? |
6463 | Is it not the duty of the nations to combine and to relieve suffering humanity? |
6463 | Is it possible that I liked to do what I might not, simply and for no other reason than because I might not?" |
6463 | Is it rational to be patriotic, even when one''s state is not much of a state? |
6463 | Is it rational to favor one''s neighbor, to be proud of one''s native town, which may be a poor sort of a town? |
6463 | Is it surprising that it should be difficult for men to determine just what one country, or what one race, owes to another? |
6463 | Is justice a virtue? |
6463 | Is no distinction to be made in the intensity of desires? |
6463 | Is not the desirable what is desired by the rational will? |
6463 | Is perseverance a virtue? |
6463 | Is reason, then, synonymous with intelligence? |
6463 | Is the Doctrine More Egoistic? |
6463 | Is the conviction that one''s country is in the right a mere matter of scientific evidence? |
6463 | Is the infant that stretches out its hands toward a bright object conscious of a desire to possess it? |
6463 | Is the man who wants a short life and a merry one an"undesirable"from the standpoint of the Rational Social Will? |
6463 | Is the reasoning unassailable? |
6463 | Is the social will meant to be chiefly inhibitory? |
6463 | Is there any measure of the degree of rationality of the social will itself? |
6463 | Is there any scientific evidence open to the parallelist in psychology which is not also open to the interactionist? |
6463 | Is there not a danger that an interest in these may hamper freedom of thought and encourage an undue conservatism? |
6463 | Is, in such a case, the pleasure one to be called a"good"? |
6463 | Is, then, the man who is willing to take the risk of breaking a bank, or holding up a stage- coach, in so far virtuous? |
6463 | Is, then, the woman, who holds out to the bitter end in her desire to have the last word, in so far virtuous? |
6463 | It is appealed to as rational; but how indicate clearly the end which it sets before itself and the obligations which it lays upon mankind? |
6463 | May I, should I, on occasion, sacrifice myself? |
6463 | May any and every method be embraced which seems adapted to avert a given evil or to attain to a desired end? |
6463 | May it not, theoretically, include as much of the universe as is known to man? |
6463 | May not the intense thrill of a moment more than counterbalance"four lukewarm hours?" |
6463 | May one not say much the same of a community? |
6463 | May this fairly be called egoistic doctrine? |
6463 | May we apply the word in speaking of the single steps made by the traveler as he advances? |
6463 | Merely from the standpoint of the individual? |
6463 | Moreover, if the question may be raised: what constitutes justice? |
6463 | Must the man who foresees this end approaching strive to hasten its arrival, or should he oppose it? |
6463 | NOTES INDEX PART I THE ACCEPTED CONTENT OF MORALS CHAPTER I IS THERE AN ACCEPTED CONTENT? |
6463 | Not_ desired_, by this man or by that, but_ desirable, reasonable_? |
6463 | Of decisions the realization of which is deferred? |
6463 | One truth has been seen, but has not another been treated with some injustice? |
6463 | Or does the motion made follow the visual sensation as the wail follows the wound made by the pin? |
6463 | Or is it something more-- the source of an ultimate standard of action, intuitively known, and by which all man''s actions must be judged? |
6463 | Or shall we say that the vote was in pursuance of a multitude of minor ends, many of which had but an accidental connection with the ultimate end? |
6463 | Or shall we say that they are in harmony with the apparent social will only, and really stand condemned? |
6463 | Or would the men, as broader men, merely have to revise some of their moral judgments? |
6463 | SELF- SACRIFICE AND THE IDENTITY OF SELVES.--Can it be maintained upon any other grounds than those adduced above? |
6463 | Settlers eager to cultivate the land and to make it support many, where before it supported few, and supported those few miserably? |
6463 | Shall a curiosity, which seems to lead nowhere, be satisfied? |
6463 | Shall a similar end be pursued for the ethical purpose of widening the circle of those who shall live and be happy? |
6463 | Shall he remain unprejudiced-- a floating mine, ready to explode at any accidental contact? |
6463 | Shall his intuitions be those recommending a rational self- interest and a rational benevolence? |
6463 | Shall the State only strive to repress grave disorders? |
6463 | Shall they be permitted to keep back settlers from more or less civilized and densely populated countries? |
6463 | Shall we class all those who frankly accept it as man''s only ultimate motive with Aristippus and Epicurus and Hobbes? |
6463 | Shall we follow Cicero, and give only that which costs us nothing? |
6463 | Shall we have them sit up to the table and serve them with the complete dinner, enlivening it with intellectual conversation? |
6463 | Shall we merely draw up a list of the instincts and impulses which may be observable in all men? |
6463 | Shall we say no more than that man is gifted with an intelligence superior to that of the brutes? |
6463 | Shall we say that they represent the actual social will of the community until such time as they are done away with by a successful revolution? |
6463 | Shall we say, in such a case, that the will of the majority was for the ultimate end? |
6463 | Shall we say, without hedging, that a man has a right to the fruits of his labor, or that first occupation gives a right to the soil? |
6463 | Shall we, then, regard a hearty appetite as a curse, to be mitigated but not wholly neutralized by a series of good dinners? |
6463 | Shall we, when in doubt as to human behavior, copy that of the brutes? |
6463 | Shall we_ believe_ and join ourselves with other_ believers_, for no better reason than that something happens to tempt our will? |
6463 | Should every desire or group of desires receive recognition? |
6463 | Should everybody count for one? |
6463 | Should he hasten the decline of the community? |
6463 | Should he not aim to develop his capacities, and in so far to diminish the dead mass of ignorance and bad taste which weighs down society? |
6463 | Should he not have a regard for his health and efficiency? |
6463 | Should the aim of punishment be the reformation of the criminal? |
6463 | Should we punish merely that"justice"be done? |
6463 | Should we visit pain upon him for the theft, merely because it is a theft, and without looking abroad for any other reason? |
6463 | Should we, in punishing, aim at the prevention of crime? |
6463 | Such advice takes cognizance of the self- love of the individual, and is not self- love reasonable? |
6463 | Suppose I do not want to be happy, what is the source of the obligation? |
6463 | Suppose an act appears to be commanded by one rule and forbidden by another? |
6463 | THE ARGUMENT AGAINST EGOISM.--What may be said against egoism? |
6463 | THE NECESSITY FOR CAUTION.--Shall a man, then, eschew patriotism, and become a citizen of the world, as though he were a Stoic philosopher? |
6463 | THE NEGATIVE ASPECT OF THE MORAL LAW.--Why does the Moral Law, on the surface at least, appear to be so largely negative? |
6463 | THE POINT IN DISPUTE.--Is there an accepted content of morals? |
6463 | THE VIRTUES OF THE INDIVIDUAL.--What moral traits have we a right to look for in the individual man? |
6463 | That prudence is not the only fundamental virtue, most men would be ready enough to admit; but is it properly speaking, a virtue at all? |

12508 | ''A method independent of experience,''he cried,"why, what kind of a method would that be?" |
12508 | ''Quelle perte irréparable?'' 12508 A kind of instinct? |
12508 | A what? |
12508 | And after that? |
12508 | And also the faculty of seeking Bad? |
12508 | And can you conceive yourself doing that? 12508 And do you think,"I replied,"that there is not more truth in poetry than in philosophy or science?" |
12508 | And going round to the side facing the river, I saw there inscribed:''_ Turris Artis_?'' |
12508 | And have you found a way? |
12508 | And how do you define it? |
12508 | And how does that come about? |
12508 | And how is that? |
12508 | And how, may I ask,said Wilson, after a pause,"in your conception, is Good related to Happiness?" |
12508 | And in the one case we say that the man does right, when he stays and fights; and in the other that he does wrong, when he runs away? |
12508 | And is that your idea of Good? |
12508 | And it is something, as I said, that lies in the future? 12508 And so it is really true that every soldier who dies on the field of battle does so only by virtue of a miscalculation? |
12508 | And sometimes one prevails and sometimes the other? |
12508 | And such a knowledge, if we could attain it, you would call the Good? |
12508 | And that you can not conceive yourself as choosing otherwise? 12508 And that, you think, would not be the case with a true and perfect Good?" |
12508 | And there can be no knowledge of Good independent of experience? |
12508 | And these conditions, you think, are fulfilled by the objects of thought as you defined them? 12508 And this war, I presume, you believe to be a good thing?" |
12508 | And this, which is the end of Nature, according to you, is also the Good? |
12508 | And what do you say to that? |
12508 | And what is common sense? |
12508 | And what is that? |
12508 | And what is that? |
12508 | And what may that be? |
12508 | And what''s the difference? |
12508 | And which is that? |
12508 | Are they? |
12508 | As it really is to whom, or in whom? |
12508 | Besides, have we ended? |
12508 | Besides,cried Leslie,"even if there were anything finally established, what right have we to judge that the established is the Good?" |
12508 | But I was thinking of the kind of method, for example, that is worked out by Hegel in his_ Logic_? |
12508 | But are there any such Goods? |
12508 | But are there no people of whose existence you approve? |
12508 | But are there not men who deliberately choose what they think bad, like Milton''s Satan--''Evil be thou my Good''? |
12508 | But at least you will admit that there is more pleasure in some physical experiences? 12508 But at the same time the Good, whatever it be, ought to be intelligible in the sense you have explained?" |
12508 | But believing, surely, that these things are good? |
12508 | But could we? |
12508 | But did n''t we? |
12508 | But do you really think,I urged,"that everything in the world is good?" |
12508 | But do you reduce our passion for Good to this passion for Love? |
12508 | But do you think there is any knowledge of Good at all, even by that method? 12508 But even if it were perfect,"cried Ellis,"would it be any the better? |
12508 | But good for whom, if not for them? 12508 But how can we believe what we do n''t know?" |
12508 | But how is that? 12508 But how should it be necessary? |
12508 | But how would you define it? |
12508 | But how''practically bound''? |
12508 | But if we can judge of Good at all, why do we not judge rightly? 12508 But in what sense do you understand the word community?" |
12508 | But in what sense? 12508 But is Nature, then, a conscious being?" |
12508 | But is each good in itself? 12508 But is it because of that Good which he realizes for himself that his life has significance? |
12508 | But is n''t it rather odd,said Ellis,"that we should be able to resist Nature?" |
12508 | But is n''t it yours? |
12508 | But is that the function of the community? |
12508 | But is the difference really so radical as all that? |
12508 | But is the life the better for the law, in the sense, I mean, in which law involves constraint? 12508 But is there any activity,"objected Leslie,"which is not merely a means?" |
12508 | But might there not be some way of judging between opinions? |
12508 | But similar in what respect,he asked,"if they are not to have similar defects?" |
12508 | But suppose they did? 12508 But surely you will admit that opinions do differ?" |
12508 | But surely,I said,"you must see that any discussion about Good must turn somehow upon our perception of it? |
12508 | But the question is, to which of them do you swear allegiance? 12508 But then, I ask in my turn, in what sense_ is_ it?" |
12508 | But then, in what sense_ is_ it? |
12508 | But then,objected Wilson,"what method is left you? |
12508 | But wait how? 12508 But what do you mean by the soul?" |
12508 | But what do you mean by''validity''? |
12508 | But what persons? 12508 But what right have we, then, to make such assumptions?" |
12508 | But what sort of people? 12508 But what, then, would you call the Good itself?" |
12508 | But where,argued Wilson,"do you find your necessity? |
12508 | But who are''we''? |
12508 | But why consider such a hypothetical case? |
12508 | But why not? |
12508 | But why not? |
12508 | But why should we choose to do either? 12508 But why strange?" |
12508 | ButI said,"how can that be? |
12508 | But, Parry,I interposed,"are you a Utilitarian?" |
12508 | But, at any rate, do you abandon the position that we can take the ideas of our time as a final criterion? |
12508 | But,I objected,"is it so certain that it is well- being that is kept in view? |
12508 | But,I protested,"who said anything about boys and girls and kisses and village greens?" |
12508 | But,I replied,"_is_ the body alien? |
12508 | But,I said,"do you not think the same about personal immortality?" |
12508 | But,I said,"putting the sufferer out of the question, what would really be the opinion of the people for whom he was to suffer? |
12508 | But,I said,"what do you mean by intelligible?" |
12508 | But,I said,"when you say that you trust the instinct, do you mean that you judge it to be good?" |
12508 | But,I urged,"do you really think we ought? |
12508 | But,broke in Leslie,"what does it matter whether it be true or no? |
12508 | But,cried Leslie, who during this speech had found obvious difficulty in containing himself,"what is this instinct which you bid us follow? |
12508 | But,he objected,"apart from other difficulties, in your method of discovering the Good is there no place for Reason at all?" |
12508 | But,objected Dennis,"do you think that it is in the moment of suffering that one is most competent to judge about the reality of pain?" |
12508 | But,objected Parry,"what proof is there that there is any standard at all in such matters?" |
12508 | But,said Dennis,"to return to the other point, on your view is our knowledge of Good altogether subsequent to experience?" |
12508 | Ca n''t you? |
12508 | Ca n''t you? |
12508 | Can you not? |
12508 | Conclusions about what? |
12508 | Did n''t you? |
12508 | Do n''t you like it? |
12508 | Do you believe then that there is nothing which is good for people in general? |
12508 | Do you mean logically necessary? |
12508 | Do you mean that it is self- contradictory? |
12508 | Do you mean that we must believe that our opinions are right? |
12508 | Do you mean to say that you really agree with Bentham that, quantity of pleasure being equal, pushpin is as good as poetry? |
12508 | Do you mean to say, then,said Leslie,"that because this instinct is so strong therefore it is always good to follow it?" |
12508 | Do you mean to say,said Parry,"that moral action has no Good in itself but is only a means to some other Good?" |
12508 | Do you not? 12508 Does Good then hang, as it were, in the air, being Good for nobody at all?" |
12508 | Does that apply to Nero, for example? |
12508 | Good, that is, not merely for yourself but for the world at large? 12508 Have they any?" |
12508 | He means he wo n''t,said Ellis, breaking in with his usual air of an unprejudiced outsider,"But after all, what does it really matter? |
12508 | How can I? |
12508 | How do you mean''practically bound?'' |
12508 | How do you mean? |
12508 | How do you mean? |
12508 | How do you mean? |
12508 | How do you mean? |
12508 | How do you mean? |
12508 | How do you mean? |

12508 | How is it, then, that you consider it disgraceful that a man should run away in battle? |
12508 | How represents? |
12508 | How should I? 12508 How should there be, in the absence of any external objective test?" |
12508 | How so? |
12508 | I do n''t ask''why not''? |
12508 | I do n''t say it may not be so; but does one believe it to be so? 12508 I do,"I replied,"but how about the others?" |
12508 | I doubt it"But how then do you account for what you call bad men? |
12508 | I suppose it must be,I said,"but once more, could you say more precisely wherein the satisfaction consists? |
12508 | I''ve been trying in vain to make head or tail of it"Why should I take a position at all? |
12508 | I? 12508 In what respect?" |
12508 | In what then? |
12508 | In what way do I not? |
12508 | In whose experience? |
12508 | Is it then,I asked,"a defect in content that you are driving at? |
12508 | Is it your idea then,I continued,"that this Good so discovered, would be out of all relation to what we call goods? |
12508 | Is it? |
12508 | Is that really what you think? |
12508 | My dear Ellis,protested Wilson,"what''s the use of talking like that? |
12508 | Necessary, why? |
12508 | No doubt, if you choose to look at it; but why should you? 12508 No doubt; but would he? |
12508 | No one, I suppose, would identify that with Good? |
12508 | No, I think not"How, then, should we feel towards such a Good? |
12508 | No, it is n''t"But why not? |
12508 | No,I said,"but they would have been sacrificed; and surely it comes to the same thing?" |
12508 | No,I said,"but why ca n''t you help it?" |
12508 | Nor do you feel sure that anyone else has? |
12508 | Now,he said, as he finished,"is that, may I ask, the kind of thing that it amuses you to call mere illusion?" |
12508 | Of course,said Leslie,"their Beauty is their only_ raison d''être_?" |
12508 | Oh well, if you deny that--"Well, if I deny that? |
12508 | Or the liver? |
12508 | Or the vermiform appendix? |
12508 | Perhaps it is,I said,"but surely not of perception, as you said, simple and infallible?" |
12508 | Perhaps the faculty that judges is itself an instinct? |
12508 | Perhapssaid Leslie,"but what then? |
12508 | Perhaps,I replied,"but the question I wished to raise was the more modest one, whether we can help it? |
12508 | Perhaps,I said,"but surely not to the work of Art as Good? |
12508 | Perhaps; but in what respect inferior? |
12508 | Really,cried Audubon,"really? |
12508 | Should you say, then,I asked,"that we are nearer to knowing whether or no the soul is immortal?" |
12508 | So that knowledge, to be perfect, must not be of sense, but only of pure thought, as Plato suggested long ago? |
12508 | Supposing,I said,"that we grant the whole of your position, how does it help us to judge what is good?" |
12508 | That aim, then, is your Good? |
12508 | That may be sound enough,I said,"but will you not describe more in detail the kind of life which you consider to be good?" |
12508 | That, you find, is the effect of travel? |
12508 | The ideal of our own time? |
12508 | Then does nothing exist except my states? |
12508 | Then is it a good thing to earn your living? |
12508 | Then it is a good thing to live? |
12508 | Then what about the world before I existed, and after I cease to exist? |
12508 | Then your hypothesis is that Good has to be brought about, even while you admit that in some sense it is? |
12508 | This activity itself of inventing brief formulæ to resume the routine of our perceptions? |
12508 | Very well, then, what activity? |
12508 | Well then,I continued,"how is it with all our social and other ideals? |
12508 | Well then,he said, impatiently,"what is the good of all this discussion?" |
12508 | Well, I suppose that is love, of a sort? |
12508 | Well, and if so? |
12508 | Well, anyhow, do you admit the existence of Bad? |
12508 | Well, but what about it? |
12508 | Well, but what does he say? |
12508 | Well, but what is the relation of the pain as it is in God to the pain that appears to us? |
12508 | Well, but what_ is_ the Good of it? 12508 Well, but,"Leslie protested,"how can we?" |
12508 | Well, then, how does your theory of instincts help us to know what is Good? 12508 Well, then,"said Ellis,"what''s the good of talking?" |
12508 | Well, what then? |
12508 | Well, what? |
12508 | Well,I said,"but what in particular?" |
12508 | Well,I said,"we shall not, I suppose, just now, come to a closer agreement But is there anyone else who shares your view? |
12508 | Well,I said,"what is it? |
12508 | Well,he proceeded,"biology, as you know, starts with the single cell----""How do you spell it?" |
12508 | Well,he said,"and what greater Good could there be?" |
12508 | Well,he said,"and why not?" |
12508 | Well,he said,"but what of that? |
12508 | Well,he said,"granting, for the moment, that you are right-- what follows?" |
12508 | Well,he said,"if you like-- what then?" |
12508 | Well,he said,"you fire- eater, and why not? |
12508 | Well,said Ellis,"what is it, you man of forlorn hopes?" |
12508 | Well,said Wilson,"but you will admit at least the paramount importance of the study of Nature, if we are ever to form a right judgment?" |
12508 | Well? |
12508 | Well? |
12508 | Well? |

12508 | What do you say to works of Art? 12508 What do you say, Parry?" |
12508 | What does he deny, then? |
12508 | What does that mean? |
12508 | What has science to do with it? |
12508 | What has_ not_ science to do with? |
12508 | What have you been thinking then? |
12508 | What is it? |
12508 | What is it? |
12508 | What is real? 12508 What is that?" |
12508 | What is the question? |
12508 | What kind of thing? |
12508 | What ought to be done, then? |
12508 | What point? |
12508 | What then is your idea? |
12508 | What then? 12508 What was that?" |
12508 | What, thenI said,"do you suggest?" |
12508 | What,I asked,"is the point of disagreement?" |
12508 | What? 12508 What_ is_ your position, Ellis?" |
12508 | Where? |
12508 | Whereas a true Good, you think, must be good in essence and substance? |
12508 | Whereas in the case of Goods of sense----? |
12508 | Which do you call the important facts? |
12508 | Which means-- to drop the metaphor----? |
12508 | Which one? |
12508 | Who is he? |
12508 | Why do you keep saying''_ Our_ Good''? |
12508 | Why do you live, then? |
12508 | Why do you not say_ the_ Good? 12508 Why not?" |
12508 | Why should I not? 12508 Why, then, we return, do we not, to the position of Parry, that the Good is that of some particular generation? |
12508 | Why, what is your difficulty? |
12508 | Why, what''s the matter? |
12508 | Why, you Methuselah, what has age got to do with it? |
12508 | Why,I said,"suppose the very object we are in search of should be found just there?" |
12508 | Why,continued Dennis,"should there not be a method of discovering Good independently of all experience?" |
12508 | Why,he said,"what is your idea of Knowledge?" |
12508 | Why? 12508 Why?" |
12508 | Yes,he replied,"why not? |
12508 | Yes,he said,"I remember":"Is it wonderful that I should be immortal? |
12508 | Yes; but how do we define pleasure? |
12508 | Yes; do n''t you think so too? |
12508 | You are thinking, then, of a special kind of love? |
12508 | You do n''t repudiate such activities then? |
12508 | You do not profess then,I said,"to have discovered any such method yourself?" |
12508 | You mean that no one could be serious in such a denial? |
12508 | You mean, I suppose, war and politics, and such things as that? 12508 You mean,"interposed Ellis,"that there is more pleasure in scratching?" |
12508 | You say, then, that we have to accept in practice what we deny in theory? |
12508 | You say,I began,"that by Good we mean the Good of the community?" |
12508 | You simply lie down and block the road? |
12508 | You suggest, then, that Beauty is akin to something in us, in a way analogous to that in which, according to me, ideas are akin to thought? |
12508 | You think, in fact, with the poet, that''all that is, is good''? |
12508 | ( 2) In pursuing Good, for whom do we pursue it? |
12508 | ( b) Whether a belief in it is essential to a reasonable pursuit of Good? |
12508 | After some talk about their expedition, he turned to me and said,"We ought to apologise, I suppose, for interrupting a discussion?" |
12508 | And I suppose you would hardly maintain, any more than Wilson did, that the Good may consist in knowledge of Bad?" |
12508 | And as to the Good that is in God, who knows or cares about it? |
12508 | And does every instinct require another to justify it, and so_ ad infinitum_?" |
12508 | And how does it bear upon Art?" |
12508 | And now, have they any other defects?" |
12508 | And now, what has Dennis to say?" |
12508 | And our problem still remains, how can we do this? |
12508 | And so far as we could talk of Good at all, we could not apply it to them?" |
12508 | And such love, I suppose you will admit, does exist, however rarely?" |
12508 | And the next question would seem to be, activity of whom?" |
12508 | And why be so disturbed about it? |
12508 | And would a life without conscious and felt obligation be a life specifically ethical, in the sense in which you seemed to be using the word?" |
12508 | And, seriously, do n''t you think it is conceivable that that may be, after all, the true meaning of the discipline of life?" |
12508 | Any, every, all?" |
12508 | Are they transparent, to use your phrase, to that which apprehends them?" |
12508 | At present, we will admit, I think the war a good thing( whatever that may mean); but what of that? |
12508 | But does not the fact of this incompatibility make one suspect that perhaps the things in question are not really good?" |
12508 | But he only smiled at me rather ironically and said,"Is that meant, may I ask, for an account of everyday experience?" |
12508 | But how do you know that? |
12508 | But how is it with the other? |
12508 | But in this quest has he been, should you say, successful?" |
12508 | But is that also good for the individual in question?" |
12508 | But is there, then, nothing but symbols? |
12508 | But may we retain, perhaps, the all- comprehensiveness?" |
12508 | But now, what about all the other generations, from the beginning of the world onward? |
12508 | But perhaps that is not what you really meant?" |
12508 | But the question I really want to ask is, What particular advantage Wilson gets from the biological method? |
12508 | But this time I ventured to ignore him, and merely said, in answer to Leslie,"The question, then, will be, what persons?" |
12508 | But this, at any rate, you think, on grounds of positive science, that it might be possible to realize?" |
12508 | But we can surely conceive that of which we have no experience? |
12508 | But what I should like to know is, what do you think?" |
12508 | But what are we to do then? |
12508 | But what do the others think?" |
12508 | But what does Leslie say?" |
12508 | But what, I should like to know, is the species? |
12508 | But you have surely forgotten the basis of our whole argument?" |
12508 | But, after all, the real question is, Can we get it? |
12508 | But, it appears, such proof has not yet been given,--or do you think it has?" |
12508 | Do not you, as a matter of fact, believe it?" |
12508 | Do we, and really ought we to, do anything except with some reference to consciousness?" |
12508 | Do you admit that?" |
12508 | Do you believe yourself that they have no import for us?" |
12508 | Do you mean that their consciousness somehow persists into it, so that they actually enjoy its Good?" |
12508 | Do you mean that they satisfy only a part of our nature, not the whole? |
12508 | Do you not recognize a process of deterioration as well as of improvement? |
12508 | Do you suppose he cared even whether he ruined his country, except so far as such ruin might interfere with his own profit? |
12508 | Do you suppose he cared how many people he ruined? |
12508 | Do you suppose that he, in his business operations, ever had any regard for anything except his own personal advantage? |
12508 | Do you suppose that we could, even if we would, continue to lend ourselves to the imposition? |
12508 | Do you think that he could or ought to consider such production as a Good? |
12508 | Do you think they would believe they ought to accept the sacrifice? |
12508 | Does anyone else share it?" |
12508 | Does it consist in the discovery of Reality? |
12508 | Does it mean one in a million, should you say? |
12508 | Does n''t one believe that what is really good for one must somehow be compatible with what is really good for others?" |
12508 | Does not the''Society for Psychical Research''deal with such questions?" |
12508 | Each generation comes into being, passes, and disappears; but how, or in what, are they summed up?" |
12508 | Every man, I think, would repudiate it with horror for himself; and what right has he to accept it for other people?" |
12508 | For otherwise do you think we should trouble to pursue it?" |
12508 | For the individuals who are eliminated? |
12508 | For what, in fact, in our experience comes nearest to what you describe? |
12508 | For you do not, I suppose, count yourself to have attained, or at least to have attained as perfectly as you hope to?" |
12508 | For you will hardly maintain, I suppose,"I continued, turning to him,"that Knowledge, as you define it, could be identified with Good?" |
12508 | Good and Evil, in our sense, are mere appearances; and Good, in the absolute sense, is identical with the Absolute or with God?" |
12508 | Have we in fact any knowledge of that kind, that might serve as a kind of type of what you mean?" |
12508 | Have you nothing to contribute to your own theme?" |
12508 | How are you going to answer Leslie?" |
12508 | How do you know that its reality does n''t consist precisely in the Ideal, as all poets and philosophers have thought? |
12508 | How is it with the elements themselves? |
12508 | How many are there then? |
12508 | I cried,"do you really think we do know? |
12508 | I cried,"is even that to go? |
12508 | I exclaimed, rather taken aback,"all at once do you mean? |
12508 | I looked at Wilson; and"Well,"I said,"what are we to say?" |
12508 | I mean that if you had to abandon as a principle of choice your opinion about Good, you would have nothing else to fall back upon?" |
12508 | I mean what sort of life would it be?" |
12508 | I rejoined,"but what is Reality? |
12508 | I replied,"I ask merely whether it would be so? |
12508 | I replied;"but, as you are here, perhaps you will be willing to help us?" |
12508 | I said, turning to him,"then you do not agree with this estimate?" |
12508 | I said,"but which of them? |
12508 | I suppose it''s a perception of something?" |
12508 | I suppose the movement of a logic like Hegel''s?" |
12508 | I will put it like this: Good, if it is to be conceived as an object of human action, must be conceived, must it not, as an object of consciousness? |
12508 | If it does, as you rightly inquired( though with a suicidal audacity), conscious activity in whom? |
12508 | If we really have a perception, how is it that it is confused, not clear?" |
12508 | In what sense is Art not real?" |
12508 | Instead of replying Ellis began to whistle; so I took up Parry''s point and said,"Yes, but what is the connection? |
12508 | Is it just what we see and touch and handle?" |
12508 | Is it necessary to include also the postulate that Good can be realized?" |
12508 | Is it not rather an expression of the person? |
12508 | Is it possible that we are all anarchists in disguise?" |
12508 | Is it possible to wait without adopting an attitude? |
12508 | Is it somehow an entity, or being, that it has a Good?" |
12508 | Is it sufficient to believe in what you call the''progress of the race''? |
12508 | Is it your view that an instinct is its own sufficient justification, or does it require justification by something else?" |
12508 | Is it, perhaps, in the discovery of necessary connections?" |
12508 | Is not that so, Parry?" |
12508 | Is not this a fair account of the condition to which men would be reduced who really did accept and believe your hypothesis?" |
12508 | Is not this a possible conception?" |
12508 | Is not waiting itself an attitude, an acting on the assumption that it is good to wait?" |
12508 | Is nothing at all to be left of my poor conception?" |
12508 | Is there an end to their perpetual haste, Their iterated round of low and high, Or is it one monotony of waste Under the vision of the vacant sky? |
12508 | Is there any institution or law or opinion you could name which is not open to obvious criticism? |
12508 | Is there anything in all this which we could call good?" |
12508 | Is there nothing in our experience to suggest the kind of object we seem to want?" |
12508 | Is there then, under the circumstances, any distinction of validity between his judgment that what is, is, and his judgment that what is, is good?" |
12508 | It is indifferent to all the rest""Then by the Good of the species you mean the good of the selected individuals?" |
12508 | Must not our aims and purposes cease to have any interest for us, once we are clear that they are not true ends? |
12508 | Or because of the future Good of the race?" |
12508 | Or do n''t you think that this happens sometimes, for instance in married life?" |
12508 | Or do you not agree with me that the true Good must be such purely of its own nature?" |
12508 | Or do you not think so?" |
12508 | Or do you think we shall?" |
12508 | Or for you who look on? |
12508 | Or how else do you account for the curious, almost physical, sinking and disquiet we are apt to experience in the presence of a bold denier?" |
12508 | Or must we also believe in the progress of the individual, involving, as it does, personal immortality?" |
12508 | Or perhaps that is too large a proportion? |
12508 | Or perhaps, for God?" |
12508 | Or shall I, in one of these towers, shall I perhaps find the thing that is symbolized?'' |
12508 | Or should you say that there is Good in the scientific activity itself, quite apart from any practical results to which it may lead?" |
12508 | Or would it be merely the total reality of which they are imperfect and inadequate expressions?" |
12508 | Or would it not be better still if the same life were pursued freely for its own sake?" |
12508 | Or would you say that 2+ 2= 4 is only true when someone is thinking of it?" |
12508 | Our desire to make our own lives and other people''s lives happier? |
12508 | Our efforts to subdue nature, to conquer disease, to introduce order and harmony where there appears to be discord and confusion? |
12508 | Perhaps even Audubon will agree with me there?" |
12508 | Perhaps in the regulating of expectation?" |
12508 | Shall we say that if the Good is to be realized the individuals then alive, so long as they are alive, will be bound together in this relation?" |
12508 | Similarly, in sociology----""Dear Wilson,"cried Ellis, unable any longer to contain himself,"might n''t we take all this for granted?" |
12508 | Simply a state in me?" |
12508 | So that_ their_ souls at least would have to be immortal; and if theirs, why not ours?" |
12508 | Some people say, do they not, that there never was a normal man?" |
12508 | Souls are indeed immortal-- why should we ever have imagined otherwise? |
12508 | Suppose I believe nothing of the kind? |
12508 | Suppose I deny altogether a general Good?" |
12508 | That being so, what is the use of discussing Good in itself? |
12508 | That we are better artists than the Greeks? |
12508 | That we are bound to believe in Good?" |
12508 | The following points are therefore discussed:( a) Whether personal immortality is conceivable? |
12508 | The question is now raised: if''the Good''be so conceived, is it not clearly unattainable? |
12508 | There is a passage somewhere, I remember-- perhaps you can quote it-- it begins,''Is it wonderful that I should be immortal?''" |
12508 | There is, in fact, no social evil?" |
12508 | There was silence for a few moments, and then Wilson said:"Do you mean to imply, on your hypothesis, that we all are always seeking Good?" |
12508 | These are:( 1) Can any Good be an end for us unless it is conceived to be an object of consciousness? |
12508 | These instincts of yours, it seems, conflict; in battle, for example, the instinct to run away conflicts with the instinct to stay and fight?" |
12508 | These, are they not, are direct presentations to sense? |
12508 | They are immortal, and what of it? |
12508 | Well then, what is to be done? |
12508 | What are we trying to get, when we try to get Good? |
12508 | What authority has it? |
12508 | What blurt is this about virtue and about vice? |
12508 | What consolation is it to me when I am suffering from the toothache, to be told that God is enjoying the pain that tortures me? |
12508 | What do you suppose it mattered to him that he might be starving half the world, and imperilling the governments of Europe? |
12508 | What do you think the crossing- sweeper would say? |
12508 | What does the soldier and adventurer think of the life of a studious recluse? |
12508 | What else should it be when you get together?" |
12508 | What follows then?" |
12508 | What has all this to do with the question? |
12508 | What have you been doing in all these years since we met?" |
12508 | What is it that experience has done for you? |
12508 | What is it you are trying to say?" |
12508 | What is it you have in your mind?" |
12508 | What is its content? |
12508 | What is the minimum we must believe if we are to make life significant? |
12508 | What is the use of saying that appearance is neither good nor bad, when we are feeling it as the one or the other every moment of our lives? |
12508 | What kind of life will they live? |
12508 | What lover ever saw his mistress as she really is?" |
12508 | What should we say of such a society? |
12508 | What standard are you applying? |
12508 | What then?" |
12508 | What validity? |
12508 | What_ is_ it, anyhow, that it should be set up in this way above reason?" |
12508 | Where are we to turn? |
12508 | Where do you get it from?" |
12508 | Why not just as much the devil? |
12508 | Why not make an end of the worry at once by admitting frankly that Good is a chimæra, and that we get on very well without it?" |
12508 | Why should not we simply wait?" |
12508 | Would you agree with that, Parry, or no?" |
12508 | Would you say, perhaps, that pain is good?" |
12508 | You know, for instance, that I am something of an economist?" |
12508 | active or passive? |
12508 | and vice versa? |
12508 | as essential, somehow or other, as the soul?" |
12508 | better citizens than the Romans? |
12508 | cried Leslie, indignantly,"do you mean to say that everything that is later in time is also better? |
12508 | cried Parry, eagerly,"and what are they?" |
12508 | he replied;"you do n''t suppose I would do it if I could help it?" |
12508 | how can we get any certainty of standard?" |
12508 | more spiritual than the men of the Middle Ages? |
12508 | more vigorous than those of the Renaissance?" |
12508 | or at least for the English or the Boers, or one or other of them? |
12508 | or that there is nothing but erroneous opinions?" |
12508 | or the city man of that of the artist? |
12508 | or, at least, is it more good than bad? |
12508 | replied Wilson,"but have you really indicated a method at all?" |
12508 | retorted Wilson,"if it comes to that, which of us is the heretic?" |
12508 | said Ellis, with shameless frivolity,"with a C or with an S?" |
12508 | wait affirming or denying? |
12508 | what is it? |
12508 | whether they be good or whether they be bad, all alike indifferently?" |
12508 | whether you do, as a matter of fact, conceive it possible that you should ever adopt such an attitude?" |
12508 | why not?" |
57260 | 130 But who can all their frauds repeat? |
57260 | A single lion bears some sway in the creation, but what is single man? |
57260 | All this is reasoning, and you know the thing will not bear it: how can you be so cruel? |
57260 | Always in haste, Horatio? |
57260 | And every body else, I should think, that understands it, and has any taste: do not you think it to be very engaging? |
57260 | And if that be impossible, Whether it is not the duty of all sovereigns to reduce their subjects, as to wealth and numbers, as much as they can? |
57260 | And if the gods have given you a superiority over all creatures, then why beg you of an inferior? |
57260 | And that as soon as they were made, they could speak, reason, and were endued with knowledge? |
57260 | And what good these notions will produce? |
57260 | And what say you of Lord Shaftsbury? |
57260 | And why will you choose to call it pride rather than honour? |
57260 | Are provisions dear? |
57260 | Are these things real? |
57260 | Are they not beneficial to mankind, and of use to the public? |
57260 | Are you in earnest? |
57260 | At this rate, men could never be formed into an aggregate body: How came society into the world? |
57260 | Besides, we have time enough.----Do you want to go out? |
57260 | But above all, what is it that buoys up and supports him against the fear of death? |
57260 | But after all this quiet easy temper, this indolence you talk of, is it not what, in plain English, we call laziness? |
57260 | But are there no persons in the world that are good by choice? |
57260 | But do not we move our bodies as we list; and is not every action determined by the will? |
57260 | But do not you think there is a difference in souls; and are they all equally good or equally bad? |
57260 | But have you read it through yet? |
57260 | But how came you to think of mechanic motion, in the pleasure of a free agent? |
57260 | But how comes the practice of scolding and calling names to be so common among the vulgar all the world over? |
57260 | But how do you know a foundation to be rotten that supports the building, and is wholly concealed from you? |
57260 | But if it had not been revealed, or you had been a Chinese, or a Mexican, what would you answer me as a philosopher? |
57260 | But if it is a good book, why then are so many of the clergy so much against it as they are? |
57260 | But if the earth had been too full of inhabitants, might not Providence have sent pestilences and diseases oftener? |
57260 | But if, without any regard to the interest or happiness of the city, the question was put, What place I thought most pleasant to walk in? |
57260 | But is it not true? |
57260 | But is not a man''s knowledge a real part of himself? |
57260 | But is not every man of sense capable of knowing this from his reason? |
57260 | But is not that provoking? |
57260 | But is not the sociableness of man the work of nature, or rather of the author of nature, Divine Providence? |
57260 | But is not thinking the business of the soul? |
57260 | But is the desire of meliorating our condition which you named, so general, that no man is without it? |
57260 | But might not religion, the fear of an invisible cause, be made serviceable to them, as to the keeping of their contracts? |
57260 | But pray come to the point: which of the two do you take to be the finest language? |
57260 | But to keep both to their respective duties, why must a lady have more pride than a gentleman? |
57260 | But was not man by nature designed for society? |
57260 | But what have the aldermen, the common council, or indeed all people of any substance to do with the war, but to pay taxes? |
57260 | But what is it at last, that raises opulent cities and powerful nations from the smallest beginnings? |
57260 | But what is it, pray, that so suddenly disposes a courteous sweet- tempered man, for so small an evil, to seek a remedy of that extreme violence? |
57260 | But what is that to us who labour under a contrary disease? |
57260 | But what makes so just and prudent a man, that has the good of society so much at heart, act knowingly against the laws of his country? |
57260 | But what relation has all this to religion or infidelity, more than it has to navigation or the peace in the north? |
57260 | But what will you say to tickling, which will make an infant laugh that is deaf and blind? |
57260 | But when I asked you that general question, why did you confine yourself to revealed religion? |
57260 | But when shall we come to the origin of politeness? |
57260 | But which way can you prove this miraculous assistance? |
57260 | But who can blame them? |
57260 | But who knows, what to make of a man, who recommends a thing very seriously in one page, and ridicules it in the next? |
57260 | But who must give orders and instructions to admirals, generals, governors, and all our ministers in foreign courts? |
57260 | But why do you imagine that people would continue to make use of signs and gestures, after they could sufficiently express themselves in words? |
57260 | But why do you say of the first, that it is commonly imagined; is it not true then? |
57260 | But why is it impossible for human nature ever to be good? |
57260 | But why may not the love of our species be named, as one of these properties? |
57260 | But why pretended believers? |
57260 | But why should a sober young man, who is guilty of no vice, be debarred from lawful enjoyments? |
57260 | But why should pride be more encouraged in women than in men? |
57260 | But why should you believe miracles at all? |
57260 | But why will you prevaricate with me after this manner? |
57260 | But without banter, do not you think that the French tongue is more proper, more fit to persuade in, than ours? |
57260 | But would it not be a greater security to have men of honour, of sense and knowledge, of application and frugality, preferred to public employments? |
57260 | But would lions and tigers in hot countries keep so close within their bounds, and bears in cold ones, as never to straggle or stray beyond them? |
57260 | But would not the wildest man you can imagine, have from nature some thoughts of justice and injustice? |
57260 | But would religion have no influence upon them? |
57260 | But you are partial: what odds is there between a stone and a lump of earth, for either of them to become a human creature? |
57260 | But your reason? |
57260 | But( says a charitable young gentlewoman) though you have the heart to starve your parson, have you no bowels of compassion for his wife and children? |
57260 | By things acquired, I thought you meant learning and virtue; how come you to talk of birth and descent? |
57260 | Can any one doubt but these are the great nursery of thieves and pickpockets? |
57260 | Can any one in his senses imagine, that an indigent thoughtless wretch, without sense or education, should ever act from such generous principles? |
57260 | Can you account for that by your system? |
57260 | Can you find no delicacy at all in the thought? |
57260 | Can you think a man serious on a subject, when he leaves it in the manner he does? |
57260 | Can you think of any thing belonging to literature, of less importance, or more useless? |
57260 | Could you submit to be the jest and scorn of public- houses, stage- coaches, and market- places? |
57260 | Daniel, indeed, was saved by miracle; but what is that to the rest of mankind? |
57260 | Did ever any man, since the blessed revelation of the gospel, run riot upon Christianity, as some men, nay, and some few women too, have lately done? |
57260 | Did this man spring out of the earth, I wonder, or did he drop from the sky? |
57260 | Do not you believe that dogs and horses think? |
57260 | Do not you fall into the same error, which, you say, Hobbes has been guilty of, when you talk of man''s necessitous and helpless condition? |
57260 | Do not you see the irony there? |
57260 | Do not you think, that many eminent men in the learned professions would dissent from you in this? |
57260 | Do not you think, then, that there are men in laborious offices, who, for a fixed salary, discharge their duties with diligence and assiduity? |
57260 | Do we not owe the growth of wine To the dry shabby crooked vine? |
57260 | Do you argue, or pretend to prove any thing from those conjectures? |
57260 | Do you believe Hesiod? |
57260 | Do you believe there ever was a man who had made himself? |
57260 | Do you lay any stress upon sphinxes, basilisks, flying dragons, and bulls that spit fire? |
57260 | Do you remember the six lines in the Cid, which Corneille is said to have had a present of six thousand livres for? |
57260 | Do you remember the storm upon the coast of Genoa? |
57260 | Do you remember what your concern was chiefly about? |
57260 | Do you remember where we left off? |
57260 | Do you take yourself to be entirely impartial now? |
57260 | Do you think it more probable, that men of parts and learning should be preferred, than others of less capacity? |
57260 | Do you think that the lowest of the mob, and the scum of the people, are possessed of any part of this principle? |
57260 | Do you think women have more pride from nature than men? |
57260 | Do you understand how something can come from nothing? |
57260 | Does not man love company, as he does every thing else, for his own sake? |
57260 | Does not the history tell us, that the child was laid in the manger? |
57260 | For not daring to violate all human and divine laws? |
57260 | For what? |
57260 | Fraud, luxury, and pride must live, 415 While we the benefits receive: Hunger''s a dreadful plague, no doubt, Yet who digests or thrives without? |
57260 | Going to Naples? |
57260 | Had you any thing to add? |
57260 | Has not my poor woman, in what I have related of her, acted in conformity to this social system? |
57260 | Have you considered the things we discoursed of yesterday? |
57260 | Have you found any such thing in it? |
57260 | Have you heard any thing from Gibraltar? |
57260 | Have you no taste for music, Madam? |
57260 | Have you not owned, that you have thought worse of me, than now you find me to deserve? |
57260 | Have you paper? |
57260 | Have you thought on the novelty I started? |
57260 | How can any thing be said not to clash with virtue or religion, that has nothing to do with either, and consequently disclaims both? |
57260 | How can you ask? |
57260 | How come you now to have such an anxious regard for what may be the opinion of the vulgar, whom at other times you so heartily despise? |
57260 | How come you to know my thoughts better than I do myself? |
57260 | How comes it, then, that a man of honour should so easily accept of a challenge, though at thirty and in perfect health? |
57260 | How could these things exist, if there had not been men of very bright parts and uncommon talents? |
57260 | How does it appear that the author addresses himself to such? |
57260 | How does it begin? |
57260 | How famous have the Cynic philosophers made themselves, only by refusing to dissimulate and make use of superfluities? |
57260 | How is that demonstrable? |
57260 | How is that possible, when it must cost them trouble, and there is a palpable self- denial to be seen in the restraint they put upon themselves? |
57260 | How is that, pray? |
57260 | How is that? |
57260 | How long is it ago that mathematics were brought into physic? |
57260 | How must these people be disposed of? |
57260 | I am pleased with your observations, and the knowledge you display of mankind; but pray, is not the frugality you now speak of a virtue? |
57260 | I desire to touch nothing of you but what is good to eat; but why do you value yourself so much upon that part which is invisible? |
57260 | I do not care to enter into these abstruse matters; what have you further to say in praise of money? |
57260 | I have not observed that: Which way has he done it indirectly? |
57260 | I know better than to rob you of such an opportunity for speculation? |
57260 | I thought what a convert you was: but what new madness has seized you now? |
57260 | I wonder at that: why so, pray? |
57260 | If we can not alter their resolution, why should we applaud the justness of their sentiments against the common interest? |
57260 | If you are but serious, whence comes this change? |
57260 | If you ask me, why I have done all this, cui bono? |
57260 | If you tell me the gods made man master over all other creatures, what tyranny was it then to destroy them out of wantonness? |
57260 | Is he not still more extravagant in those things he makes use of? |
57260 | Is it a thought to be born with patience? |
57260 | Is it a wonder, that people, under such circumstances, and loaden with greater taxes, besides, than any other nation, should be obliged to be saving? |
57260 | Is it not strange that nature should send us all into the world with a visible desire after government, and no capacity for it at all? |
57260 | Is it not very reasonable he should marry? |
57260 | Is it probable, that amongst the bees, there has ever been any other form of government than what every swarm submits to now? |
57260 | Is it such a mortification not to desire a greater share of worldly blessings, than what every reasonable man ought to be satisfied with? |
57260 | Is not a vast deal owing, in the raising of a nation, to the difference there is in the spirit and genius of people? |
57260 | Is not that a horrid thing? |
57260 | Is not the king''s warrant their discharge? |
57260 | Is not this the certain fate of a man, who should refuse to fight, or bear an affront without resentment? |
57260 | Is there a trade or handicraft but what supplies us with something we wanted? |
57260 | Is there ever a meeting- house or barn to be compared to a fine cathedral, for this purpose? |
57260 | Is this otherwise than standing up for the goodness of a design, at the same time you confess, that it never was, or ever can be executed? |
57260 | Is this owing to the charity schools? |
57260 | It certainly once was new: which pray do you believe more ancient, pulling off the hat, or saying, your humble servant? |
57260 | Just eight days? |
57260 | Languid I say; for what is man''s hunger, if compared to the lion''s? |
57260 | Man never acknowledged superiority without power, and why should I? |
57260 | Might I not justly say then, that this is quite contrary and destructive to the scheme on which it is plain this earth was built? |
57260 | Nay, what could any body think to hear me making the kindest interpretations of things that can be imagined, and yourself doing quite the reverse? |
57260 | No: Who affirms there can? |
57260 | Now surely, you have overshot the mark; nothing? |
57260 | Of Marlborough? |
57260 | Or that among the highest quality, infants can be affected with it before they are two years old? |
57260 | Or( what still seems the greater paradox) that incontinence should be made serviceable to the preservation of chastity? |
57260 | Ovid''s Metamorphosis? |
57260 | Perhaps not: but what say you to renouncing the world, and the solemn promise we have made of it? |
57260 | Pray cousin, has good sense ever any share in the judgment which your men of true taste form about pictures? |
57260 | Pray pardon my rudeness for once: What is it that hinders you now from keeping me company for an hour or two? |
57260 | Pray, Horatio, can there be honour without justice? |
57260 | Pray, how came that into the world? |
57260 | Pray, is it good manners to tell a man that he is meanly born, or to hint at his descent, when it is known to be vulgar? |
57260 | Pray, says he, friend, will you step for me with this letter as far as Bow- church, and I will give you a penny? |
57260 | Primus in orbe Deos fecit timor; Are you of that opinion? |
57260 | Right; marriage is lawful, and so is a coach; but what is that to people that have not money enough to keep one? |
57260 | Shall I allow all this? |
57260 | Shall we sit down in it? |
57260 | Since we are such odd creatures, why should we not make the most of it? |
57260 | Strictly speaking you are in the right, it is unanswerable; but who will consider things in that light? |
57260 | Such a petition would certainly be a very unconscionable one; yet where is the man who imagines not that he has a right to make it? |
57260 | That is a pretty question: do you think a young fellow of six- and- twenty, as I was then, and in my circumstances, had a great mind to be drowned? |
57260 | That is absolutely impossible, at least in such a nation as ours: for what would you do for judges and chancellors? |
57260 | That is the child, I suppose: why it should be in the manger; should it not? |
57260 | That they were produced at once, I mean at their full growth; he from a lump of earth, and she from one of his ribs? |
57260 | The bambino? |
57260 | The most favourable constructions with all my heart: But what is that to the purpose, when all the straining in the world can not make it a good one? |
57260 | Then why do you fear death, if you think the gods as just as you have been? |
57260 | Then you think children reap great benefit from the nonsensical chat of nurses? |
57260 | Then, what is the reason that the same Dutch, in the two latter provinces, though poorer than the first, are yet less stingy and more hospitable? |
57260 | There is fine architecture, there is a colonnade; can any thing be thought of more magnificent? |
57260 | This is more unintelligible than any thing you have said yet; why will you heap difficulties upon one another, without solving any? |
57260 | This is not the only thing which, though it be true, we are not able to conceive: How came the first man to exist? |
57260 | This is worth consideration, and requires time to be examined into; but where is your fine gentleman, the picture you promised? |
57260 | To be wished for, perhaps, it may be, but what probability is there that this ever will come to pass? |
57260 | Truly, besides the reader''s diversion, I believe none at all; but if I was asked, what naturally ought to be expected from them? |
57260 | Was ever I a Roman Catholic? |
57260 | Was it never published? |
57260 | Was you afraid? |
57260 | We are now come to a short question: God or the devil? |
57260 | We have strange accounts of his generosity and gratitude; but do you believe them? |
57260 | What actions are they which you judge this from? |
57260 | What answer is all this to my objection? |
57260 | What changes have ever bees made in their furniture or architecture? |
57260 | What do you think is the reason, that there is but one way for us to come into the world? |
57260 | What evil is it? |
57260 | What fault do you find with these kind constructions; do they detract from the dignity of our species? |
57260 | What fine amends has this good Christian made for his crime, and what an honest man was the priest who directed his conscience? |
57260 | What frailty or defect is it in our nature, that the two first commandments have a regard to, or, as you call it, tally with? |
57260 | What has an oil shop to do with silks; or who would look for hams and pickles at a mercers? |
57260 | What has mechanism to do with that? |
57260 | What hurt do I do to man, if I make him more known to himself than he was before? |
57260 | What is all this but the old story over again, that every thing is pride, and all we see hypocrisy, without proof or argument? |
57260 | What is it that induces you to believe this, besides the possibility of his forgetfulness? |
57260 | What is it that superintends thought in them? |
57260 | What is it upon an hypocrite that dares to be perjured? |
57260 | What is life? |
57260 | What is that, pray? |
57260 | What is that? |
57260 | What is the matter? |
57260 | What is the next? |
57260 | What is your client to do? |
57260 | What life have you led? |
57260 | What makes you couple together two things so diametrically opposite? |
57260 | What makes you smile? |
57260 | What mortal can decide which is the handsomest, abstract from the mode in being, to wear great buttons or small ones? |
57260 | What motive could the frequent repetitions of the same solemnities spring from, whenever it was suspected that the least holy trifle had been omitted? |
57260 | What must we do in this dilemma? |
57260 | What objection have you against it? |
57260 | What occasion has the dolphin for a ship, or what carriage would an eagle ask to travel in? |
57260 | What of all this? |
57260 | What say you now, Cleomenes; is it not this without ceremony? |
57260 | What say you now, Fulvia, of nature and good sense, are they not quite beat out of doors? |
57260 | What say you to the prime minister who governs all, and acts immediately under the king? |
57260 | What signifies a theory, which a man destroys by his practice? |
57260 | What signifies that, where there is a passion that manifestly sways, and with a strict hand governs that will? |
57260 | What sort of people are they, and where must we look for them, whom you will own to act from those principles of virtue? |
57260 | What stupendous cunning, I pray? |
57260 | What time, how many ages do you think it would require to have a well- civilized nation from such a savage pair as yours? |
57260 | What to do with? |
57260 | What to do? |
57260 | What virtue is it the exercise of which requires so much pomp and superfluity, as are to be seen by all men in power? |
57260 | What was the quarrel? |
57260 | What was you afraid of? |
57260 | What will you then say to, video meliora proboque, deteriora sequor? |
57260 | What would you infer from this? |
57260 | What would you infer from this? |
57260 | What would, at this rate, become of our manufactures? |
57260 | What, because he would have the laws against it as severe as possible, and nobody pardoned, without exception, that offends that way? |
57260 | What, is it impossible to wish it? |
57260 | When people scold, call names, and pelt one another with scurrilities, what design is that done with? |
57260 | When things are set in this light, I confess it is very unaccountable: but will your system explain this; can you make it clear yourself? |
57260 | When things have a handsome appearance every way, what reason have you to suspect them still to be bad? |
57260 | When you talk of flattery and impudence, what do you think of the first man that had the face to tell his equal, that he was his humble servant? |
57260 | When? |
57260 | Whence came the Dryades and Hama- Dryades? |
57260 | Whence does that ever appear? |
57260 | Where are they then? |
57260 | Where is there such a landlord in the world? |
57260 | Where would have been the inconveniency of that? |
57260 | Where would you look for the excellency of a statue, but in that part which you see of it? |
57260 | Which are they? |
57260 | Which is the best religion? |
57260 | Which part of the brain do you think the soul to be more immediately lodged in; or do you take it to be diffused through the whole? |
57260 | Which way can you give me this assurance; how can you prove it? |
57260 | Which way shall I persuade a man to serve me, when the service I can repay him in, is such as he does not want or care for? |
57260 | Who can despise riches more, or show himself less avaricious than he, who will not so much as touch gold or silver, no not with his feet? |
57260 | Who is that, pray? |
57260 | Who is to take care of the king''s interest throughout the kingdom, and of his safety? |
57260 | Who would imagine, that virtuous women, unknowingly, should be instrumental in promoting the advantage of prostitutes? |
57260 | Who would so much as surmise, that this is the fault of the virtuous women? |
57260 | Whose fault is that, as long as you have ground untilled and hands unemployed? |
57260 | Whose fault is that? |
57260 | Whose is that, pray? |
57260 | Why can not you believe this? |
57260 | Why do not you speak more openly, and say that there is no virtue or probity in the world? |
57260 | Why do they? |
57260 | Why do you so much insist upon it, that this principle, this value men set upon themselves, is a passion? |
57260 | Why do you think so? |
57260 | Why should Mr. Hall''s conviction and execution be any more an objection against the clergy, than Mr. Layer''s against the gentlemen of the long robe? |
57260 | Why should we be neglectful of it in the most important point, when they make their boast that they will not live as the poor of other nations? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why then is it pretended that painting is an imitation of nature? |
57260 | Why, pray? |
57260 | Will you suffer me to ask you some questions, and will you answer them directly and in good humour? |
57260 | With all my heart: But may there not be an hundred such savages in the world with large families, that might never meet, nor ever hear of one another? |
57260 | Without doubt: For, if judgment and reason were given him, what could hinder him from making use of those faculties, as well as others do? |
57260 | Wolves and wild boars? |
57260 | Would not this follow from your system? |
57260 | Would not you do it yourself? |
57260 | Would you add any more? |
57260 | Would you be posted for a coward? |
57260 | Would you become a town and table- talk? |
57260 | Yes, if it really was obtained: but how shall we be sure of this, and what reason have we to believe that it ever was? |
57260 | You do not believe that the stars have any love for one another, I am sure: Then why more reason? |
57260 | You have made the most of it indeed, but are you not tired yet with these fooleries yourself? |
57260 | You have strange notions of our species: But has not a man, by the time that he comes to maturity, some notions of right and wrong, that are natural? |
57260 | You have, without doubt, thought on this subject before now; would you communicate to me some of your guesses? |
57260 | You make stocks and stones of us; is it not in our choice to act, or not to act? |
57260 | You take great delight in dwelling on the behaviour of savages; what relation has this to politeness? |
57260 | You will give me leave to wait upon you to your coach, Madam.----Pray, Cleomenes, what is it you have got in your head? |
57260 | [ 8] Quis est tam vecors qui non intelligat, numine hoc tantum imperium esse natum, actum, et retentum? |
57260 | and what good these notions will produce? |
57260 | be just, Cleomenes; is it to be avoided? |
57260 | but what need we go so far off? |
57260 | do not men speak to be understood? |
57260 | has God never punished and destroyed great nations for their sins? |
57260 | have they ever made cells that were not sexangular, or added any tools to those which nature furnished them with at the beginning? |
57260 | must the devil grow rampant at this rate, and not to be called coram nobis? |
57260 | must they not have others at home, that are likewise able to treat with foreign ministers? |
57260 | on what, pray? |
57260 | or shall we be so silly, as relying on what they say, to think them sincere in their sentiments, and so not believe our own eyes? |
57260 | pray what must remain of forty pounds a year, after it has been twice so unmercifully split? |
57260 | what moralist or politician was it, that could teach men to be proud of hiding their pride? |
57260 | what view is it done with? |
57260 | where must we look for it? |
57260 | which is the main spring? |
