4557How many new animals have we first come to know in the present age? 4557 May there not,"he asks,"many circumstances concur to one production that do not to any other in one or many ages?"
4557Admirez- vous pour cela nos aieux?
4557And what is the value of civilisation?
4557Are combinations and recombinations to continue until by pure chance some rational self- supporting system emerges?
4557Are there not ages of learning and ages of ignorance, rude ages and polite?
4557But if we accept the reasonings on which the dogma of Progress is based, must we not carry them to their full conclusion?
4557But in what does this happiness consist?
4557But such convulsions are an undesirable method of progressing; how can they be avoided?
4557But what about the minor premiss?
4557But what assurance have we that they will not one day come up against impassable barriers?
4557But what of the modern age in Western Europe?
4557But will the new period of advance, which Bacon expected and strove to secure, be of indefinite duration?
4557But will you say that the men of the tenth century were superior to the Greeks and Romans?
4557Could the Epicurean theory be brought up to date?
4557Do they profit and enrich themselves by the general advance of civilisation?
4557Few have ever heard of these productions; how many have read them?
4557Has a mysterious Deity pronounced a secret malediction against the earth?
4557He asked himself, can not equality be realised in an organised state, founded on natural right?
4557His lucid exposition interested every one in the abstruse problem, Is man''s freedom such as not to render grace superfluous?
4557Horace''s verse, Damnosa quid non imminuit dies?
4557How in a few centuries can man hope to gain the mastery over the cosmic process which has been at work for millions of years?
4557If it is injurious, does it not follow that the forces on which admittedly Progress depends are leading in an undesirable direction?
4557If this is the result of progressive civilisation, what is progress worth?
4557Il leur manquait l''industrie et l''aisance: Est- ce vertu?
4557In escaping from the illusion of finality, is it legitimate to exempt that dogma itself?
4557Is Chinese civilisation mis- called, or has there been here too a progressive movement all the time, however slow?
4557Is it easier to penetrate the secrets of the human heart than the secrets of nature, or will it take less time?
4557Is it reasonable to suppose that a universal or cosmopolitical society of this kind will come into being; and if so, how will it be brought about?
4557Is it therefore unjust that we also should suffer for the benefit of those who are to come?"
4557Is such a conclusion more than a hope, unsanctioned by the data of past experience, merely one of the characteristics of the age of illumination?
4557Is there development in the various species of literature and art?
4557Is this unnatural conquest of nature safe or wise?
4557It is the presence of man that gives its interest to the existence of other beings... Why should we not make him a common centre?...
4557Later ages, he said, will go further, for"where can the perfectibility of man stop, armed with geometry and the mechanical arts and chemistry?"
4557Must not it, too, submit to its own negation of finality?
4557Nature has not degenerated in her other works; why should she cease to produce reasonable men?
4557Or is it possible that no such condition of society may ever arrive, and that ultimately all progress may be overwhelmed by a hell of evils?
4557Our civilisation, too, having reached perfection, will inevitably decline and pass away: is not this the clear lesson of history?
4557Should they be obstructed, or is it wiser to let things follow their natural tendency( laisser aller les choses suivant leur pente naturelle)?
4557Tantane uos generis tenuit fiducia uestri?
4557The question, Can the men of to- day contend on equal terms with the illustrious ancients, or are they intellectually inferior?
4557This is evidently true; and would it not seem to follow that literature is not excluded from participating in the common development of civilisation?
4557WAS CIVILISATION A MISTAKE?
4557Was the prospect of an arrest which might come the day after to- morrow likely to induce men to exert themselves to make provision for posterity?
4557Were trees in ancient times greater than to- day?
4557What Englishman or Frenchman would tolerate life as lived in ancient Rome?
4557What happens when this is reached?
4557What of the future?
4557What was the value of the achievements of science, and the improvement of the arts of life, if life itself could not be ameliorated?
4557Where should we have found them?
4557Who does not prefer the age of steel, of gold, of coal, petroleum, cotton, steam, electricity, and the spectroscope?"
4557Who knows that trees are precisely the same?
4557Who knows whether the modern age may not prove the exception to the law which has hitherto prevailed?
4557Yet what about the Greeks?
46455And would you like, then, to die with me?
46455God, thou son of St. Mary--is that not a standing invocation among the knights?
46455How would you enjoy being a canon?
46455Let the baron command preparatory torture?
46455Tonsure or the scaffold?
46455Very dear lady,he gasps,"what will you do when I die?
46455Why such trouble?
46455Will you have Sire Conon, the nephew of your late lord, as your present undoubted baron and suzerain?
46455A quiet place, but at night, with several score of brethren all snoring together, what repose is left for the stranger?
46455After a round of fêtes, tournaments, and forays, many a young knight has suddenly turned from them all, announced to his companions:"What profit?
46455All this means a chaffering, chattering, and ofttimes a quarreling, which makes one ask,"Have the days of the Tower of Babel returned?"
46455And even Conon, once when hard beset, had exclaimed, like a certain crusading lord:"What king, O Lord, ever deserted thus his men?
46455And what, in one sense, is the intense worship of the Virgin but a sign that woman is extraordinarily venerated and very powerful?
46455Another anecdote is how a knight answered, on being asked,"What will be your chief joy in paradise?"
46455Are not so many of them like the peasant described in the epic"Garin"?
46455Are their packs filled with iron, with lances, with swords?
46455Are they not reared around a castle, which is a great barrack, and where the talk is ever of feuds and forays, horses, lances, and armor?
46455Are they not sprung themselves from a domineering stock?
46455Assuredly, the Scripture warns us,"Take no thought saying...''Wherewithal shall we be clothed?''"
46455At the ceremony itself the great question is,"How will the wedding ring slip on?"
46455But dare one really be too critical?
46455But does not Heaven favor the young and brave?
46455But how locate the dozen other counts and barons who, with their dames, have honored the bridal?
46455But what are soups compared with meat pies?
46455But what is monk''s or jongleur''s lore compared with the true business of a born cavalier?
46455But what peasant has not as many thereof as he has hairs in his head?
46455But_ cui bono_?
46455By which ought the epoch be judged?
46455Conon demands angrily of Olivier,"Could not you keep back the boy from this folly?"
46455Could the latter, if they wished, dye the cloth which they themselves had woven?
46455Did he leave his last wife to mope about the hall while he spent his months riotously at the king''s court?"
46455Everybody will ask,"Did the groom wear his mantle like a great baron?"
46455From the time a young nobleman is in his cradle his mother will discuss with his father,"Will he make the''leap''when he is knighted?"
46455He foolishly tried to cancel a charter granted the city, and boasted:"What can you expect these people to do by their commotions?
46455If it would cost dearly to win the bailey, what would it not cost to storm the castle proper?
46455If this is true of the nobility, what of the toiling peasantry?
46455In what kind of money shall we pay?
46455Is it favorable to your condition, or unfavorable?
46455Is it true he is to receive Petitmur?
46455It is feared these scandals are frequent, but many times, if candidate and seigneur are willing to imperil their souls, what can be done?
46455Many a baron''s son balances in his mind-- which is better, the seigneur''s"cap of presence"or the bishop''s miter?
46455On the other hand, who is ignorant of the manner in which William the Norman inveigled Harold the Anglo- Saxon into taking a great oath of fealty?
46455Ought one to deal with such people?
46455She has never found her master, and who can flatter himself that he knows her?
46455The architect and his employer have practically spent their lives studying"how can a castle be made to hold out as long as possible?"
46455Their question is not"how fast?"
46455This is for the Cathedral; and is God''no one''?"
46455Very deplorable, but what can be done?
46455What greater delight than to defend some tower against their father''s old foe, Foretvert?
46455What is a cavalier without his horse?
46455What more could be said?
46455What right have grand folk to claim the obedience of the lesser, if they can not delight the public gaze by their splendors?
46455What seems clearer than that which Pope Nicholas I wrote A.D. 866?
46455What wonder( considering mortal frailty) that many men who seek the episcopate for temporal advantage often bring their great office into contempt?
46455When the monks remonstrated, the rough answer was:"How is this your business?
46455When, however, two identical relics of the same saint are displayed in France, how are worldly questionings to be silenced?
46455Where is the monastery, church, or even castle without them?
46455Where now is the vassal to follow his banner?
46455Where will I spend eternity?"
46455Who can measure her relief when Conon declared he would not give her to old St. Saturnin?
46455Who truly knows about the hereafter?"
46455Who_ now_ will trust in or fight for thee?"
46455Why, again, should the prisoners complain?
46455Will you not die with me?"
46455Would he offer fair battle in the plain near Cambrai, as we much desired, or would he strive to slip past our army and go straight toward Paris?
46455Would you have sight of them?"
46455[ 116] This is outrageous, but ofttimes money must be had, and what if no Christian will lend?
46455[ 45] The question really is: Has a man been given everything due to others of his own class?
46455[ Sidenote: Futile Peasant Revolts] Do the villeins ever revolt?
46455[ Sidenote: The Jews and Money Lending] Why are such folk permitted in Pontdebois?
46455_ Hé!_ what chance had those villein footmen against_ gentle_ Frenchmen, who all had known horses and lance since they ceased from mother''s milk?
46455but"To what guild does he belong?"
46455but"how well?"
46455or shall I attempt a short_ chanson_ by that other high troubadour, Arnaut de Maruelh?"
33889What could a man require more from a nation so pliant and so prone to seek after knowledge? 33889 And are we to stop at a United States of the Old World? 33889 And could it not be extended from its present limited range until it reached practically the whole adolescent community? 33889 And how can we set about doing it? 33889 And if so, will the debacle extend to America? 33889 And is this a mere fantastic talk, or is this a thing that could be done and that ought to be done? 33889 And it is equally reasonable to ask the great political personages of the British Empire: what will Ireland be in twenty- five years''time? 33889 And now what else? 33889 And outside this canonical Book or Books, shall we leave all the rest of literature in a limitless Apocrypha? 33889 And we have a very considerable literature of books on-- what shall I call it? 33889 And what will be the chief organs and organizations and works and methods with which this Council of the World State will be concerned? 33889 And what would the American community probably do in such a case? 33889 Are not we and they and all the race still just as much adrift in the current of circumstances as we were before 1914? 33889 Are theygenerally necessary to salvation"?
33889Are we just drifting into an unknown darkness in all these matters with blind leaders of our blindness?
33889Are we to contemplate the prospect of a modern Bible in twenty or thirty thousand volumes?
33889But are these intellectuals right in their estimate of the common man?
33889But are they sound questions?
33889But are we to contemplate a sort of dual world-- the New World against the Old?
33889But do we provide that idea of a place in the world for our people to- day?
33889But does it do that to- day?
33889But how are those relations going to develop?
33889But is it a league of nations that is wanted?
33889But is it so?
33889But is our race capable of such an effort, such a complete reversal of its instinctive and traditional impulses?
33889But would he be right?
33889But you see my conception of the college course?
33889But_ must_ you?
33889Can so little a leaven leaven so great a lump?
33889Can there be any comparison between the educational efficiency of the two methods?
33889Can we extend it over most or all of a modern population?
33889Can we find premonitions of any such bold and revolutionary adaptations as these, in the mental and political life of to- day?
33889Can we re- cement our increasingly unstable civilization?
33889Could we not do much more than we do to make the broad issues of various current questions plain and accessible to our students in the college stage?
33889Did the prosperities and confident hopes with which the twentieth century opened, mark nothing more than a culmination of fortuitous good luck?
33889Discussed and re- discussed?
33889Do we even keep them steadfastly in our minds?
33889Do we want to get rid of patriotism altogether?
33889Does education even pretend to do as much to- day?
33889Does it sound like rubbish to you?
33889Has the cycle of prosperity and progress closed?
33889How are we to choose him?
33889How can one take sides between them?
33889How can we have forecasts and prophecies of things that are happening now?
33889How do they mean them to develop?
33889How else, we ask, could you have it?
33889How far are we, reader and writer, for example, working for these large new securities?
33889How is it with the people around us?
33889If it is possible for us isolated workers to do as much then why should not the thing be done in a big and authoritative manner?
33889If the mass of common men are incurably patriotic and belligerent why is there a note of querulous exhortation in nearly all patriotic literature?
33889Is a response to this appeal latent in the masses of mankind?
33889Is he so patriotic as they make out?
33889Is he such a shallow and vehement fool as they seem to believe?
33889Is it a preposterous one?
33889Is it an offence to gamble?
33889Is it an offence to hold fertile fields and not cultivate them?
33889Is it an offence to hold fertile fields and undercultivate them?
33889Is it an offence to speculate?
33889Is it an offence to spend exorbitant sums that might otherwise go in reproductive investments, to gratify the whims and vanities of your wife?
33889Is it an offence to spend your money on yourself and refuse your wife more than bare necessities?
33889Is it an offence to use your invested money merely to live pleasantly without working?
33889Is it any wonder that the bookings from London to Warsaw are infinitesimal in comparison with the bookings from New York to St. Louis?
33889Is it possible to rationalize the at present chaotic will of mankind?
33889Is not this idea a legacy from the days when states were small communities needing a leader in war and diplomacy?
33889Is the college stage of our present educational system anywhere near its maximum possible efficiency?
33889Is there any precedent to justify us in hoping that such a change in world ideas is possible?
33889Is there anything in history to justify hope for so gigantic a mental turnover in our race?
33889It is a tremendous exercise to read and understand, but is it universally necessary?
33889It would be a quite possible thing to do.... Is it worth doing?
33889Let us ask whether it is probable that the world state will have any single personal head at all?
33889May they not be a little affected by false analogies?
33889Now how is this to be done?
33889Now is this a final limitation?
33889Now what is this_ schooling_ to do-- what is it doing to the new human being?
33889Now what should college give the young citizen, male or female, upon the foundation of schooling we have already sketched out?
33889Now what was this change in conditions that had confronted mankind with the perplexing necessity of abandoning war?
33889Or can not a lot of these things be figured out by able and intelligent people?
33889Or is the American( and Pacific?)
33889Or whether they think that there will be a greater United States-- of all America-- or of all the world?
33889Or will there be a World King?
33889Our test of a college education is-- Does it make a successful business man?
33889Polished and finished, and made the opening part of a new Bible of Civilization, a new common basis for a world culture?
33889Should we include the Book of Job?
33889Should we include the Song of Songs?
33889Some sort of genteel recluse-- or men and women?
33889That it is a reasonable and proper thing to ask our statesmen and politicians: what is going to happen to the world?
33889They ask, for example, where will the World Congress meet; and how will you elect your World President?
33889To what will this staggering and blundering, the hatreds and mischievous adventures of the present time, bring us?
33889We must ask:"What have you done, what are you doing to help or hinder the peace and order of mankind?"
33889Well, what were they?
33889What are the modern equivalents of these books?
33889What are we going to do about Shakespear?
33889What do they think they are training?
33889What is happening to our race?
33889What is it that intervenes between the universal human need and its satisfaction?
33889What is the To- morrow they are making?
33889What is the life it produces?
33889What is this greater idea to be?
33889What is want of aptitude?
33889What loyalty and what devotion can we expect this multiple association to command?
33889What sort of better social order are you making for?
33889What sort of world order are you creating?
33889What will India be?
33889What would an American citizen think of such an outbreak?
33889What would be our equivalent of this part of the Bible to- day?
33889What would be the equivalent for the Bible of a world civilization?
33889Whither are they guiding our destinies?
33889Why make two bites at a planet?
33889Why should that draft not be revised by scores of specialists?
33889Why should we not make all this classification of property and the restraints upon each class of property, systematic and world- wide?
33889Why, for instance, is Mr. Rudyard Kipling''s"History of England"so full of goading and scolding?
33889Will he pack his bag, get aboard a train and go there?
33889Will this council be directly elected?
33889Wo n''t your World President, they say, be rather a tremendous personage?
33889You think I am talking of a dreamland, of an unattainable Utopia?
33889system still sufficiently removed and still sufficiently autonomous to maintain a progressive movement of its own if the Old World collapse?
34051Did not the Saviour receive gifts of the wise men?

34051Because the pontiff Marcellinus offered incense to Jupiter, must, therefore, all bishops sacrifice?"
34051But how is this to be co- ordinated with the conclusion just mentioned?
34051But what has become of the time- honoured doctrine of the human destiny of the universe?
34051But what is the weight of all this when placed in opposition with the mass of evidence offered by inclined and fractured strata?
34051But when the works on jurisprudence by Tribonian, under Justinian, have been mentioned, what is there that remains?
34051But who has presented in his beautiful geometry or deduced from his simple principles any of the inequalities which he left untouched?
34051But, as respects his intellectual principle, how does the matter stand?

34051Can the reader of the preceding paragraphs here pause without demanding of himself the value of human testimony?
34051Can they say that his judgment is before that of God which our synod pronounced?
34051Could there be a more brilliant exhibition of their power, a brighter earnest of the future of material philosophy?

34051Does he not, indeed, every summer penetrate northward in Asia as far as the latitude of Berlin, and retire again as winter comes on?
34051Does not absolute knowledge actually imply procedure by preconceived and unvarying law?
34051Does not heat thus confine within a fixed boundary the spread of these plants?
34051Does the geologist ask of the architect his opinion whether there have ever been upliftings and down- sinkings of the earth?
34051He asked,"Is it likely that the sun shines upon nothing, and that the nightly watches of the stars are wasted on trackless seas and desert lands?"

34051If he did, would not every structure in Europe be brought forward as an evidence that nothing of the kind had ever occurred?
34051If the magnitude of the earth be too great for us to attach to it any definite conception, what shall we say of the compass of the solar system?

34051Is not momentary intervention altogether derogatory to the thorough and absolute sovereignty of God?
34051May we not also, from our solar system, rise to a similar conception for the universe?

34051Shall we compare it with the contemporaneous monk miracles and monkish philosophy of Europe?
34051Was it extraordinary that there should be a loss of papal prestige?
34051Was it to be wondered at that even still more dreadful heresies spontaneously suggested themselves?
34051Were human laws to take the precedence of the law of God?
34051Were the Jew and the Mohammedan to be permitted their infamous rites?

34051has any experimenter ever accomplished it by artificial means?
34051produce the most brilliant of all artificial lights, rivalling if not excelling, in its intolerable splendour the noontide sun?
34051that he sees in every shadow a spirit, and peoples every solitary place with invisibles?
34051what was the state of morals in Italy?
34051what when he reads of the attempts of Abderrahman Sufi at improving the photometry of the stars?
34051would lead to the deflagration and dissipation in a vapour of metals that could hardly be melted in a furnace?
34051would occasion a complete revolution in chemistry, compelling that science to accept new ideas, and even a new nomenclature?
34051would show that the solid earth we tread upon is an oxide?
34051yield new metals light enough to swim upon water, and even seem to set it on fire?
8646Can men behold their superior and not tremble? 8646 I asked him once, why they did not, for their own sakes, enable their kings to assume a little more state?
8646Shall any one,says Antoninus,"love the city of Cecrops, and you not love the city of God?"
8646What wonder,says the old Priam, when Helen appeared,"that nations should contend for the possession of so much beauty?"
8646When will you begin to practise it?
8646A perfect agreement in matters of opinion is not to be obtained in the most select company; and if it were, what would become of society?
8646And is death the greatest calamity which can afflict mankind under an establishment by which they are divested of all their rights?
8646And that the pacific citizen, however distinguished by privilege and rank, must one day bow to the person with whom he has intrusted his sword?
8646And whence should they come to me?
8646And why do you not all go forth to so great a war?"
8646And would assurance of success fill the intervals of expectation with more pleasing emotions?
8646Are the apprehensions of the severe, therefore, in every age, equally groundless and unreasonable?
8646Are they not your people?
8646Are we never to dread any error in the article of a refinement bestowed on the means of subsistence, or the conveniencies of life?
8646Ask the busy, where is the happiness to which they aspire?
8646But for what end, it may be said, point out an evil that can not be remedied?
8646But if nature is only opposed to art, in what situation of the human race are the footsteps of art unknown?
8646But is he on that account their superior?
8646But is it equally unforeseen, that the former order may again take place?
8646But is it hope alone that supports the mind is the midst of precarious and uncertain prospects?
8646Can it be more clearly expressed, that temperance, prudence, and fortitude, are necessary to the character we love and admire?
8646Can no reflections aid us in acquiring this habit of the soul, so useful in carrying us through many of the ordinary scenes of life?
8646Can they converse without a precise and written ceremonial?
8646Did he mistake the means of procuring to mankind what he points out as a blessing?
8646Do continued disappointments reduce sanguine hopes, and familiarity with objects blunt the edge of novelty?
8646Does experience itself cool the ardour of the mind?
8646Events may have changed the situation in which I am destined to act; but can they hinder my acting the part of a man?
8646Has not the human race been planted like the colony in question?
8646Have the multiplied words of a statute an influence over the conscience and the heart, more powerful than that of reason and nature?
8646How can he who has confined his views to his own subsistence or preservation, be intrusted with the conduct of nations?
8646How is it possible, therefore, to find any single form of government that would suit mankind in every condition?
8646How shall we reconcile these jarring and opposite tenets?
8646If it be admitted that we can not, are the facts less true?
8646If such revolutions should actually follow, will this new master revive in his own order the spirit of the noble and the free?
8646If the question be put, What the mind of man could perform, when left to itself, and without the aid of any foreign direction?
8646If we are asked therefore, where the state of nature is to be found?
8646If we are required to explain, how men could be poets, or orators, before they were aided by the learning of the scholar and the critic?
8646If we ask, why they are not miserable in the absence of that happiness?
8646In great and opulent cities, where men vie with each other in equipage, dress, and the reputation of fortune?
8646In what situation, or by what instruction, is this wonderful character to be formed?
8646In what society are not men classed by external distinctions, as well as personal qualities?
8646In what state are they not actuated by a variety of principles; justice, honour, moderation, and fear?
8646Is it found in the nurseries of affectation, pertness, and vanity, from which fashion is propagated, and the genteel is announced?
8646Is it not possible, amidst our admiration of arts, to find some place for these?
8646May the business of civil society be accomplished, and may the occasion of farther exertion be removed?
8646May the society be again compared to the individual?
8646Must we perish?
8646Or what persuasion can turn the grimace of politeness into real sentiments of humanity and candour?
8646Temperance, prudence, fortitude, are those qualities likewise admired from a principle of regard to our fellow creatures?
8646Was it in vain that Antoninus became acquainted with the characters of Thrasea, Helvidius, Cato, Dion, and Brutus?
8646We are sometimes willing to acknowledge this vice in our countrymen; but who was ever willing to acknowledge it in himself?
8646What charm of instruction can cure the mind that is stained with this disorder?
8646What defect of police?
8646What delay to affairs?
8646What fuel can the statesman add to the fires of youth?
8646What heart burnings?
8646What hopes of peace, if, the streets are not barricaded at an hour?
8646What if he will not?
8646What interest had he, or the bones of his father, in the quarrels of princes?
8646What is happy or wretched, in the manners of men?
8646What is it that constitutes our restraint from offences that tend to distress our fellow creatures?
8646What is it that excites one half of the nations of Europe against the other?
8646What is it that prompts the tongue when we censure an act of cruelty or oppression?
8646What is it that stirs in the breasts of ordinary men when the enemies of their country are named?
8646What is just, or unjust?
8646What syren voice can awaken a desire of freedom, that is held to be meanness and a want of ambition?
8646What want of secrecy and despatch?
8646What was enjoyment, in the sense of that youth, who, according to Tacitus, loved danger itself, not the rewards of courage?
8646What wild disorder, if men are permitted in any thing to do what they please?"
8646What, in their various situations, is favourable or adverse to their amiable qualities?
8646When a judge in Europe is left to decide, according to his own interpretation of written laws, is he in any sense more restrained than the former?
8646Whence are the prejudices that subsist between different provinces, cantons, and villages, of the same empire and territory?
8646Whither should his feelings and apprehensions on these subjects lead him?
8646Who has directed their course?
8646Who would, from mere conjecture, suppose, that the naked savage would be a coxcomb and a gamester?
8646Why not be dejected, when his country was overwhelmed?
8646Why not, since they render men happy in themselves, and useful to others?
8646Why rejoice in a disappointment?
8646Why should we indulge a false delicacy, or require from the earth fruits which she is not accustomed to yield?
8646Will he renew the characters of the warrior and the statesman?
8646Will he restore to his country the civil and military virtues?
8646and that his principal care would be to adorn his person, and to find an amusement?
8646or whose example have they followed?
8646that he would be proud or vain, without the distinctions of title and fortune?
8646we may inquire, in our turn, how bodies could fall by their weight, before the laws of gravitation were recorded in books?
8646whose instruction have they heard?
27948''Is not the blessed life precisely_ that_ life which all men desire?
27948''The poet says"Dear City of Cecrops", and shall I not say"Dear City of God"?''
27948''What can I see in Rome,''he said,''that I can not see in Whitechapel?''
27948''Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me: My Father, thou art the guide of my youth?''
27948''[ 5] But, if not happier, are we nobler?
279485:''in the grave who shall give thee thanks?''
27948And has its mind been made up in the right way?
27948And if they do know what they want, have we not still the right to criticize its moral value and say''this is right''or this is wrong?
27948And if we can not indicate a standard, what right have we to say that one life is any better than another?
27948And now what is the cause of these exaggerated notions which so many of us have entertained?
27948And ought we not to consider this before claiming, as we so often claim, that the progress of science has given us control of the forces of nature?
27948And the next question is, why we should hold that any of this good is going to be realized in human life at all?
27948And when you say_ that_ of any being, or any collection of beings, do you not put it pretty low down in the scale of intelligence?
27948And where or by what means can we reach this save by turning inward on meditation or reflection, that is by philosophizing?
27948And why?
27948Are we better governed than we were?
27948Are we happier?
27948But does not the impression exist?
27948But has it made up its mind what to do with the fortune?
27948But how did Emerson find that out?
27948But how is this to be done?
27948But if the nature of the world is evil, what reason can I possibly have for rejoicing in its evolution?
27948But is it true?
27948But is that effort going to be successful?
27948But is the collective wisdom of the State so immensely superior to that of the individual, and of necessity so?
27948But it may still be argued that the question is not Have the civilized powers annexed large empires?
27948But it was obvious that the question"Are you happy?"
27948But it will be asked, what did they learn?
27948But what do we mean by Progress?
27948Can we possibly say so in view of the hideous imperfection round us?
27948Can we stop short of the endeavour to assure ourselves beyond question or doubt that we are right in what answers we render?
27948Could this harmony ever be realized?
27948Did he use a canoe with a primitive pole which he had not even the sense to flatten so as to make it into a serviceable paddle?
27948Did he use flint implements or fight with nothing but a bow and arrow?
27948Did the breed improve during prehistoric times?
27948Does it make for soul- power to be preoccupied with the cult of the dead?
27948Does it not suggest that they have little faculty of reasonable intercourse with one another?
27948Does not this afford a rough measure of the collective wisdom of such States as at present exist in this world?
27948Does this mean that what we call the lower are only so many blundering attempts to reach the higher?
27948Finally, why should we hope that this goodness is realized more and more fully as time goes on?
27948First, did the breed improve during the long course of the Stone Age in Europe?
27948For how can a single phase of culture criticize itself?
27948For what is Government?
27948Had the Greeks possessed it, who can say how far they might have gone in their applications of mathematics?
27948Has progress taken place in this department?
27948Have we any means of bringing the matter to the test?
27948High hopes, high claims; but can they be made good, or even rationally entertained?
27948How can it step out of the scales and assess its own weight?
27948How did this gradual progress come about?
27948How is that duty to be exercised?
27948How was''the greatest of all human responsibilities'', arising from this new intercourse of races, met?
27948I see everywhere progress towards organization, but then one is bound to ask on what ulterior end is this organization directed?
27948In all this there was progress( was there not?)
27948Is any religion better than none?
27948Is increase of knowledge the absolute good or increase of happiness?
27948Is it a good thing that man''s power over the forces of nature should be increased?
27948Is it not over the great questions of justice and injustice, of beauty, goodness, and the like?
27948Is this not involved in the language we use of it, proclaiming it practical and therefore not theoretical?
27948Is this not progress, progress in wisdom, and to what else can we ascribe the advance save to Philosophy?
27948Is this not the hardest?
27948It is not in heaven, neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: Who shall go up for us to heaven or over the sea, and bring it unto us?
27948Now in this aim, we must ask, does a man need other men and other creatures, and in what sense does he need them?
27948Now what is the bearing of these somewhat scanty data on the question of progress?
27948Of nothing else is Progress so intimately the essence and very being; if we ask''What progresses or evolves?
27948On what principles will it be based?
27948Or by''human welfare''?
27948Or if it is increase of love, is it quite indifferent what we love?
27948Or rather shall we not say, seeing that its eyes are unsealed and the vision therefore no dream, beholding a present-- an ever- present-- Reality?
27948Or than the life of a triumphant conqueror, a Zenghis Khan or a Tamberlaine-- exultant if he has enough human heads before him?
27948Or, indeed, any of these rather than the blank of Nirvana or the life of a vegetable?
27948Ought I to rejoice in this discovery?
27948Progress, yes, but progress towards what?
27948Rather it is a new renaissance, a new effort of the human spirit, and an effort after what?
27948Secondly, did the arts of life advance, so that by their aid man might establish himself more firmly in his kingdom?
27948That every creature, for example, which is not a thinking man is, on the whole, a mistake?
27948The life of the scientific man any better than the life of the South Sea Islander-- content if only he has enough bananas to eat?
27948Thus Plato is always asking, like Robert Browning in''Rabbi Ben Ezra'',-- Now, who shall arbitrate?
27948To begin with, do men know what they want to achieve by their unified life?
27948To the question, What, then, ought we to do?
27948To whom or to what is it good?
27948Transported by such means to the Europe of that distant past, could we undertake to beat the record of those cave- men?
27948Was he right or wrong?
27948Was such an extension of governmental authority justifiable or inevitable?
27948We have always first to ask: What kind of Government?
27948Well, how stands the matter when this test is applied?
27948Well, then, are we well governed at the present time?
27948What are you, what am I, that either of us should set up our private intelligence against the intelligence of forty million of our fellow citizens?
27948What can we within it do?
27948What do we mean by progress except the successful exercise of the human will in a right direction?
27948What ideal will it set forth?
27948What if he uses this power, as he plainly can do, for his own undoing?
27948What is Economics?
27948What is it, he asks( 7 A- E), that men quarrel over most passionately when they dispute?
27948What is our part, we ask, our very own part within all this?
27948What is the nature of that connexion?
27948What is the nature of this common life of mankind and with what is it concerned?
27948What is the standard?
27948What is the_ greatest_ number?
27948What kind of common life will it provide or allow to its citizens?
27948What other solution of the problem, indeed, is possible?
27948What shall that standard be?
27948What was it, then, that happened with the end of the ancient world?
27948What was the mediaeval knight?
27948What, in the first place, do we mean by''a real advance''?
27948What, then, can we read not into, but out of, the tragic spectacle now being enacted, not merely before but in, through, and by us?
27948What, then, is the difference between a State and a political party?
27948What_ kind of State_ is it to which the individual is becoming subordinated?
27948When or how was it learnt-- was it at Oxford or at Cambridge?--that the apples of Devonshire are so specially fit for cider?
27948When other duties are so urgent and immediate, have we even the right to consume our energies otherwise than in their direct discharge?
27948Where?
27948Wherein does the transition from representation to full responsibility consist?
27948Why is the State the highest of all forms of association?
27948Why should our citizenship, for instance, take precedence of our trade unionism or our business obligations?
27948Why were they unhappy at home?
27948Why?
27948Will it give me satisfaction?
27948Will men, after this great war, more largely again apprehend, love, and practise this double polarity of their lives?
27948but Ought they to have done so?
27948meant to the girls"Are you happier than you would have been if you had stayed at home instead of going to work?"
27948to a view, to a truth( how else shall we speak of it?)
31345And can this God have a mother? 31345 Can you really wonder that all this should come to an end?
31345Dost thou see aught?
31345What am I?
31345What can I know?
31345Already the Catholic party, in preparation of its commencing atrocities, ominously inquired,"Is the vengeance of God to be defrauded of its victims?"
31345Among such appearances, how shall we select the true one, and, if we make a selection, how shall we be absolutely certain that we are right?
31345Among the great prelates, who was there to stand in the place of those men whose achievements had glorified the human race?
31345And what is the result to which all this carries us?
31345And, even if such a criterion existed, must we not have for it, in its turn, some higher criterion?
31345Are these the deeds of civilized men, or the riotings of cannibals drunk with blood?
31345As to the gods, those dà ¦ mons in whom you trust, did they always save you from calamity?
31345As to the reality of these apparitions, why should a hermit be led to suspect that they arose from the natural working of his own brain?
31345As to the sentiment of patriotism of which you vaunt, was it not destroyed by your own emperors?
31345But how shall we be sure, in any one case, that we have examined all the individuals?
31345But if there be this impossibility of attaining knowledge, what is the use of man giving himself any trouble about the matter?
31345But what is that murmur except the sum of the sounds of all the individual drops?
31345But what is the cause of all this?
31345But what was the cost of all this?
31345But who is that one God?
31345Could a creature bear the uncreated?"
31345Do we ask any proof of the condition of art to which the Egyptians had attained at the time of their earliest monuments?
31345Do we not want some criterion for it?
31345Does the procession of nations in time, like the erratic phantasm of a dream, go forward without reason or order?
31345Has it been annihilated?
31345Has man a criterion of truth?]
31345Hence arises the fourth great question of Greek philosophy: Have we any criterion of truth?
31345How can it be otherwise since they are not permitted to pray in a mosque upon earth?
31345How can there be a religion where there is no God?
31345How could he better find adherents from the centre to the remotest corner of the empire?
31345How else, in this manner, could the like extricate itself from the unlike; the one deliver itself from, and make itself manifest among the many?
31345How is it possible to arrest the spread of a faith which can make the broken heart leap with joy?
31345How long did Hannibal insult them?
31345How shall we ascertain the real state of the case?
31345How shall we understand his faith unless we see it illustrated in his life?
31345How was it possible that unlettered men, who with difficulty can be made to apprehend obvious things, should understand such mysteries?
31345If the divinity is undistinguishable from heat, whither can we go to escape its influences?
31345If things material and tangible, and therefore the most solid props of knowledge, are thus abruptly destroyed, in what direction shall we turn?
31345If thus, in the recesses of the individual economy, these natural agents bear sway, must they not operate in the social economy too?
31345If we rely upon Reason, how do we know that Reason itself is trustworthy?
31345If you ask them how they defend these monstrosities?
31345In such a state of things, what else could be the result than disgust or indifference?
31345In that final moment, what is it that is lost?
31345In what latitude is it that the domain of the physical ends, and that of the supernatural begins?
31345Indeed, do not all our expectations of the stability of social institutions rest upon our belief in the stability of surrounding physical conditions?
31345Is it not best to accept life as it comes, and enjoy pleasure while he may?
31345Is it not reason?
31345Is it surprising that all Asia and Africa fell away?
31345Is there an object presented to us which does not bear the mark of ephemeral duration?
31345Is this world an illusion, a phantasm of the imagination?
31345Of a thousand acts, all of surpassing interest and importance, how shall we identify the master ones?
31345Of what avail is it if a barbarian chieftain drives a horde of his savages through the waters of a river by way of extemporaneous or speedy baptism?
31345Of what use were sacrificial offerings and entreaties directed to phantasms of the imagination?
31345Shall we begin our studies by examining sensations or by examining ideas?
31345Shall we find in his private life any explanation of this mystery?
31345Shall we inquire with Spinoza whether we have any ideas independent of experience?
31345Shall we say with Descartes that all clear ideas are true?
31345The pulse of its life- giving artery makes but one beat in a year; what, then, are a few hundreds of centuries in such a process?
31345This being the case, how shall we know that any information derived from such unfaithful sources is true?
31345Thus it appears that the first inquiry made by European philosophy was, Whence and in what manner came the world?
31345To Nature, when she is transmuting a worthless into a better metal, what signify a thousand years?
31345To reason may we not then trust?
31345To what are we to attribute this pause?
31345To what part of the world could the Egyptian travel without seeing in the skies the same constellations?
31345Was it a goose or a god that saved the Capitol from Brennus?
31345Was it a nonentity?
31345Was there not in the streets a profligate rabble living in total idleness, fed and amused at the expense of the state?
31345Were there not natural waters of very different properties?
31345What is God?]
31345What is it that assures us of the unreality of the fiery circle, the rainbow, the spectre, the voices, the crawling of insects upon the skin?
31345What is that something?
31345What is that soul?
31345What is the soul?]
31345What shall we say of such a system and of such a state of things?
31345What should we say of him, who, contemplating it in its state of rest, asserted that it was impossible for it ever to move?
31345What testimony does physiology offer on this point?
31345Where were the gods in all the defeats, some of them but recent, of the pagan emperors?
31345Whereupon she uncovered her face and said,"Dost thou see it now?"
31345Which of these classes shall we regard as the truest and most perfect type?
31345Who was to succeed to Archimedes, Hipparchus, Euclid, Herophilus, Eratosthenes?
31345Why are facts to be burdened with such hypothetical creations, when it is obvious that a much simpler explanation is sufficient?
31345Why was it that civilization thus rose on the banks of the Nile, and not upon those of the Danube or Mississippi?
31345With Plato shall we say it was in one of our prior states of existence, and the long- forgotten transactions are now suddenly flashing upon us?
31345Would any one deny the influence of rainy days on our industrial habits and on our mental condition even in a civilized state?
31345by an exposure of base material in the furnace for a proper season, may we not anticipate the wished for event?
31345hast thou ever said to men, Take me and my mother for two gods beside God?
31345how things do not fall away from the earth on that side?
31345was not Roman idleness the inevitable result of the filling of Italy with slaves?
31345what is it that has come to an end?
31345who to Plato and Aristotle?
37115But what does this prove? 37115 Whence does this arise?"
37115[ 78] And why does not misery spur on other nations placed under similar circumstances? 37115 Admitting that we are more enlightened upon some subjects, in how many other respects are we inferior to our more remote ancestors? 37115 And has Christianity, then, no civilizing influence? 37115 And if he were led to adopt that opinion, how would he attempt to account for the striking diversities in their aspect and manner of existence?
37115Are not these perfect resemblances?
37115Are not these sentiments very monarchical for a democrat; very religious for an atheist?
37115Are political institutions to be the test?
37115Are the most intellectual, the best informed men generally the best Christians?
37115Are the negroes, then, more closely allied to our race than the Sclavonic nations?
37115Are the results of these ideas and facts such as are conformable to the instincts, the tendencies, of the masses?
37115Are we, then, so infinitely more civilized than France?
37115At what time of the world''s history then have we-- the_ civilized_ nations-- passed through this stage of semi- civilization?
37115But are these mental faculties, which every individual of our species possesses, susceptible of indefinite development?
37115But are we warranted thence to conclude that the nation to which this individual belongs, is susceptible of adopting our civilization?
37115But does not the free population of Rome afford a perfect analogue to a modern body politic?
37115But has the human mind really expanded since the days of Pythagoras and Plato?
37115But how shall we distinguish the latter?
37115But is the Bible really explicit on this point?
37115But so soon as these men have sufficiently mastered the first elements of knowledge, to what use do they, for the most part, apply them?
37115But what becomes of the population of the rest of the world, who are not included in this classification?
37115But what interest had they in the success of the great king?
37115But whom did this civilization embrace?
37115But why are they lost?
37115But why revert to the past, and to distant scenes?
37115But, as these nations have few points of resemblance, the question suggests itself: Do not, then, all civilizations tend to the same results?
37115But, asks Mr. Gobineau, what is degeneracy?
37115By what contrivance did the engineers of that people hoist those enormous masses to a dizzy height?
37115Can we not admire the Almighty as well in the variety as in a fancied uniformity of His works?
37115Could the name of Cyrus, the remembrance of the storming of Sardis, the siege of Babylon, the conquest of Egypt, fire them with enthusiasm?
37115Did prejudice operate four thousand years ago exactly as it does now?
37115Do we find this homogeneity in European nations?
37115Do we recognize here a people in a state of moral and social advancement?"
37115Does it exist only in the minds of the visionary, or is it a mere bugbear of the timorous?
37115Has human nature changed, or has it even modified its failings?
37115Has the thinker of the nineteenth century faculties and perceptions which they had not?
37115Have all men the same capacity for intellectual progress?
37115Have we not daily proofs around us that the heroic virtues of by- gone ages still live in ours?
37115Have we one virtue more or one vice less than former generations?
37115How can a religion be true which makes adherence to such an order a fundamental article of its creed?
37115How can it be proved that any existing forms primordially were distinct?
37115How many European countries can pretend to this?
37115How many discoveries which we owe to mere accident, or which are the fruits of painful efforts, were the lost possessions of remote ages?
37115How many more are not yet restored?
37115How then shall we judge of the degree of intellect necessary to be a follower of Jesus?
37115How were they transported the vast distance from the quarries where they were hewn?
37115How were those blocks of stone, thirty- five feet long and eighteen thick, raised one upon another?
37115How, then, can an animal be taken as an analogue for man?
37115How, then, shall we define this term?
37115If this were the case, why was it necessary, until the last expiring throb of Paganism, to preserve its temples and pay the hierophants?
37115In South America, where Spain ruled with unrestrained power for centuries, what effect has it produced?
37115In other words, can cultivation raise all the different races to the same intellectual standard?
37115In this miserable corner of the world, what were the Jews?
37115Is not this a very high prerogative allotted to that branch of the human family?
37115Is not this like the reasoning in the child''s story- book: Why is Jack a bad boy?
37115Is the diffusion of knowledge by popular education to be the test?
37115Is the perfection to which the arts are carried, the test of civilization?
37115Is this civilization?
37115It is owing to a natural law of death which seems to govern societies as well as individuals; but, does this law operate alike in all cases?
37115Many affect to deride the idea of"manifest destiny"that possesses us Anglo- Americans, but who in the main doubts it?
37115Now is this the case?
37115Now, I ask, in what does the difference consist?
37115On the contrary, does not most of the talent of England spring up from plebeian ranks?
37115Or, are the useful arts to carry the prize?
37115Quod si causam ad coeli solique naturam referas, non homines albi in illis regionibus renascentes non nigrescunt?
37115That too great an extension of territory is the cause of weakness?
37115The great empires that overshadowed the world, where are they?
37115The youthful beauty of Canton would be handsome(?)
37115Then the question,"Which is the best government?"
37115This is, in a measure, true of nations of the same race, but is it true with regard to different races?
37115To forge still firmer their own fetters?
37115To whom pertains the glory of Grecian history?
37115We possess pure and exalted principles, I admit, but are they carried into practice?
37115What agriculturist could be made to believe that, with the same care, all plants would thrive equally well in all soils?
37115What are the material wants of the Hindoo?
37115What audience could now endure, or what police permit, the plays of Congreve and of Otway?
37115What was this famous Canaan?
37115What, then, can we call a Christian civilization?
37115Whence this result?
37115Whence, then, this gathering storm?
37115Where are the brutal fox- hunting country squires of former centuries?
37115Where are the results?
37115Where is there such a nation?
37115Who piled these monstrous masses, which modern art could scarcely move?
37115Who would dare to assert that Rome owed her universal empire to her geographical position?
37115Why does he disobey his parents?
37115Why has this been so?
37115Would not any naturalist consider as distinct species any animals of the same genus so distinguished?
37115Would this add one new faculty to the human mind, or ennoble human nature by the eradication of one bad passion?
37115Yet, who would decide which had the superior intellect?
37115and are no limits imposed to the perfectibility of our species?
37115asks M. De Tocqueville;"have we really more sensibility than our forefathers?"
37115is it uniform like the result it brings about, and do all civilizations perish from the same pre- existing cause?
37115the good old customs, when hospitality consisted in drinking one''s guest underneath the table?
27347Am I not clean?
27347Am I not healthy? 27347 And that is contrary to the system?"
27347And that one thing?
27347Are you getting your share of applications? 27347 At least,"he said,"you do not pretend that this is religion?"
27347But how can they govern what they ca n''t even see?
27347But why should the proper thing be done?
27347But your friend?
27347Can the souls of men be reincarnated as animals?
27347How about these beautiful spring days for hustling? 27347 Meaning by Culture?"
27347No,said my friend,"but do n''t you wish they were?"
27347One does not expect--why not?
27347Rocks that are bones, earth that is flesh, what, what do you mean Eyeing me silently? 27347 So many times the question is asked,''Why is it, and how is it, that Mr. So- and- so writes so much business?
27347The system?
27347Then what is this that looks like Life?
27347What_ do_ you want? 27347 Who can say?"
27347Why do you do it?
27347Why worry us?
27347_ Instead of being ashamed of his calling, he should be mortally ashamed of his not calling._Are you happy in your work?
27347_ Master._ But, my dear sir, why should you call it an earthen image? 27347 ANTÆUS 211 CONCLUDING ESSAY 218 PART I INDIA I IN THE RED SEABut why do you do it?"
27347Am I not athletic and efficient?"
27347And China does not change?
27347And after burial?
27347And in all this, is there no room for God?
27347And is not the following exactly parallel to a denunciation, from the mission- pulpit, of the unprofitable servant?
27347And should we ever have been presented with that new shibboleth"unassimilable"?
27347And the Jade Emperor-- is he a mere idol?
27347And the music?
27347And the other?
27347And what sense would there be if duty were nonsense?
27347And, if you do n''t, what becomes of your reputation?"
27347And--"would you believe it?"
27347Are there any opposites that exclude one another?
27347Are these people idolaters, these dignified old men, these serious youths, these earnest, grave musicians?
27347Are you?"
27347As we waited for the tram, someone said,"Would you like to see Kali?"
27347Because of the position of women?
27347But China?
27347But can you imagine a rural council in England breaking into this personal note?
27347But if education is to mean the substitution of the gramophone and music- hall songs for this traditional art, these native hymns?
27347But there was-- has the reader ever heard the second-- or is it the third?--overture to"Leonora"?
27347But they may say, some of them, as the Indian will certainly say,"Is that all?
27347But where is our sacred mountain?
27347But will their civilisation be of a kind to invite such reflection?
27347But, really, does anyone-- does any man of business-- think it a better education than Greek?
27347Can the ice be changed into red coal in your hearts?
27347Can we not save him?
27347Come along!--Success?
27347Could I have a bathing costume?
27347Did a host move out to meet the foe?
27347Did a wounded hero fall?
27347Did he see a warrior fall?
27347Did not we discover them?
27347Did not we squat upon them?
27347Divine somehow in its potentialities?
27347Divine to a deeper vision than mine?
27347Do I love God?
27347Do n''t you see?
27347Do you hear it?
27347Do you see it?
27347Drama was it?
27347Faster and faster, louder and louder, more and more intensely, crying and flaming towards-- what?
27347For good or for evil?
27347Forget what?
27347Had the writer, I wonder, ever been in Japan?
27347Had there been anyone?
27347Have I myself known God?
27347Have we not''mixed our labour with them''?"
27347Have you no place for the Eternal and the Infinite?"
27347Have you not observed?
27347He regrets to have missed my visit; will I not return and let him show me the school?
27347He thinks to himself,''Is it possible that the thought of God can make a man forget the world?
27347How can I describe it?
27347How long will it last?
27347How real is it, even now?
27347I reached the hotel; I bowed and smiled to the group of kow- towing girls; but how to tell them that I wanted a bathe and a meal?
27347I wonder?
27347III ULSTER IN INDIA"Are you a Home Ruler?"
27347If detected, will it be prosecuted?
27347If it is illegal, will it be detected?
27347If some other agent is up early, wide- awake and alert, putting in from ten to fifteen hours per day, he is bound to do business, is n''t he?
27347If the Japanese had had white skins, should we ever have heard of the economic argument?
27347In this respect what nation can compete with them?
27347Interesting, is it not?
27347Is East East?
27347Is West West?
27347Is he Buddhist or Taoist?
27347Is he right?
27347Is it Gounod''s"Faust"or an Anglican hymn?
27347Is it courage?
27347Is it family life?
27347Is it honesty?
27347Is it industry?
27347Is it sexual purity?
27347Is not that delightful?
27347Is patriotism the standard?
27347Is there also an East?
27347Is there going to be a melody?"
27347Might not this almost as well have been an address from the headquarters of the Salvation Army?
27347Money?
27347On that point, what Western nation can hold up its head?
27347On the contrary, I was pressed, urged, implored almost with tears in the eye-- to reform them?
27347Once more, what_ do_ the foreigners want?
27347Once more, what_ does_ he want?
27347Or am I wrong?
27347Or opera?
27347Or the wholesale massacre, robbery, and devastation which followed when the siege was relieved?
27347Or what?
27347Or_ is_ it divine?
27347Really, sir, what are we to think?"
27347Sacred to what god?
27347Streams that are voices, what, what do you say?
27347The men were dead, then, too?
27347The one or two children who died in the Legation, and the one or two men who were killed?
27347The question is a large one; but, summarily, where do the Japanese fail, as compared with the Western nations?
27347The real question is, will it pay?
27347This is the shop!--Health?
27347To what result?
27347To what, in fact, are most people on this continent turning theirs?
27347WHY IS IT?
27347Was battle engaged?
27347Was it Homer or Shelley that grasped Reality?
27347Was there a real voice?
27347Was there nothing else?
27347Was this India or Athens?
27347What English agricultural labourer would do as much?
27347What are our resources for evading or defeating the law?
27347What business have I to go about preaching to others?
27347What do they do with it when they get there?"
27347What has happened to religion?
27347What is it?
27347What is the sun?"
27347What is this?
27347What is this?
27347What is this?
27347What manner of man, then, was this Sri Ramakrishna?
27347What matters the form of the struggle, whether it be in arms or commerce, whether the victory go to the sword, or to shoddy, advertisement, and fraud?
27347What messages were they, I wondered, that were passing across the mountains?
27347What now is Sri Ramakrishna''s view of this matter?
27347What of it?
27347What of the honesty of the West?
27347What people are braver?
27347What really makes this difference?
27347What then?
27347What?
27347What_ do_ foreigners want?
27347When men worship the mountain, do they worship a rock, or the spirit of the place, or the spirit that has no place?
27347Where could I change?
27347Where, in all the country, that charming mythology which once in Greece and Italy, as now in China, was the outward expression of the love of nature?
27347Where, outside the East, is found such solidarity as in Japan?
27347Who is more industrious?
27347Why did it spring?
27347Why is it then, that She has bound us hand and foot with the chains of the world?
27347Why then should I reason?
27347Why, in this respect, is America, as undoubtedly she is, so sterile?
27347Why?
27347will it please Theophilus P. Polk or vex Harriman Q. Kunz?
61572A great number of questions may be raised on this fact: it may be asked, indeed it has been asked, whether it is for good or evil?
61572An inquiry necessarily arises, What was the Christian church at that epoch?
61572And can it be otherwise?
61572And how can you destroy such men?
61572And how do you repress it?
61572And if there is really danger in any part of our frontiers, do you believe it to be caused by the presence of a few obscure and impoverished exiles?
61572And in what case, and under what conditions?
61572And not only did they miscarry, but what were the means they were constrained to employ?
61572And what fear have you then inspired?
61572And what is more natural?
61572And when we speak of the responsibility which must supply the place of independence, is the question of that alone?
61572And why?
61572Are these not also the objects of truly philosophic legislation?
61572Are they inclined to imagine it justice which condemns a man to death for a political offence?
61572As for sovereigns, more than one in Europe believes himself menaced; but is it by a rival or a pretender?
61572Besides, what do you call impunity?
61572Besides, whose is the necessity for the blow?
61572But do they contain the feudal family?
61572But is it quite certain that society is really so often in danger as power believes it to be?
61572But is it to be concluded from this that government has not subsisted, that, in fact, there has been no government?
61572But now what are ministers when their power has left them?
61572But was the scaffold the only strength of the Convention?
61572But what do I wish?
61572But what risk did you run?
61572But when did it end?
61572But will Divine justice consider only the intention?
61572But will that suffice?
61572By its justice?
61572Did M. Cuquet de Montarlot give you serious cause of alarm?
61572Do they suppose this rigour wholesome, and does it appear necessary to their common sense?
61572Do we ask of ministers to make the responsibility of the ministry they undertake a reality?
61572Do we not discover at the dissolution of the Roman Empire almost all the elements which meet in the progressive development of our civilisation?
61572Do we recognise the society we have just beheld in the twelfth?
61572Do you not see that similar commutations are in absolute harmony with the present state of morals and the nature of political dangers?
61572Does it act more powerfully through fear?
61572Does it desire then to act as if it were so?
61572Does it exercise even unconsciously an influence over their conduct?
61572Does it not veil from, or rather does it not reveal to man, an origin and a destiny which is not of this world?
61572Does power show itself so eager for, and so prodigal of, capital punishment?
61572Does the fact of civilisation contain nothing more?
61572For what reason?
61572Has the association in view some skilful investigation or enterprise?
61572Has the nature of this right been well examined?
61572Has this officer the right to do so, and would the ministers allow it?
61572Have governments any instinctive knowledge of this fact?
61572Have the revolutions of Spain, Portugal, Naples, Piedmont, been the fruit of a litigation for the throne, the work of an ambitious subject?
61572Have we exhausted all that its natural and prevailing meaning conveys?
61572How are they so largely compensated, in the opinion of mankind, for what they are so deficient in on other grounds?
61572How came it to pass that the Reformation, so fierce and stubborn in many respects, thus showed itself so accommodating and supple?
61572How came its introduction into European civilisation?
61572How can it be thought that crimes of this kind call for capital punishment as clearly or loudly as they formerly did?
61572How can so evident an analogy be mistaken?
61572How come these countries, then, thus styled civilised, to possess their exclusive right?
61572How could it be otherwise than that both, philosophers and nations, should believe in the veritable existence of a sovereign right?
61572How could the citizens or peasants conceive the idea of changing the government and seizing the authority?
61572How did it discover, and draw out from the obscurity of the mass, those legitimately superior spirits entitled to take part in the government?
61572How does it not see that, if these were less frequent and less solemn, they would have less power?
61572How does this wrong affect individual unconsciousness of error?
61572How is it possible to escape their power?
61572How moves the world?
61572How must power act upon them?
61572How strive against that which has destroyed such a man?
61572How to escape this danger?
61572How to realise the social responsibility of removable magistrates?
61572How was the church, thus admitting all men to power, assured as to the justness of their claims?
61572I am ashamed to insist upon these commonplaces of common sense; but what is to be done?
61572I ask the same question as before-- Is this a people advancing in civilisation?
61572I ask, what impression would such a phrase produce on the mind of this man?
61572I know it; but revolutions are not permanent; and do governments think themselves of a like transitory nature?
61572I, who am the interpreter of justice and truth, shall I be debarred from regulating earthly matters according to justice and truth?''
61572If capital punishment is of little efficacy, and I think I have proved the fact, how can it be necessary?
61572If the insurrection is suppressed, what is the first act of the conqueror?
61572If the punishment of death is politically useless, inefficacious, and even dangerous, wherefore not say so at once?
61572If you have not this foresight, but hasten to irrecoverable steps, know you what will happen?
61572In a word, is society made to serve the individual, or the individual to serve society?
61572In killing an enemy, it did away with danger; and what could be more natural than to gratify vengeance while insuring safety?
61572Is a warlike expedition contemplated?
61572Is it a civilised condition?
61572Is it a combat of the same nature which now takes place between power and society, or those great portions of society which it considers enemies?
61572Is it banishment, imprisonment, transportation?
61572Is it imagined that punishments alone will prevent conspiracies?
61572Is it necessary for it to provoke the application of capital punishment, or to allow it to be inflicted?
61572Is it not by such spectacles that the Revolution overturned not only society, but habits and ideas?
61572Is it not clear that against such dangers, and against such adversaries, capital punishment is neither powerful nor necessary?
61572Is it not permitted to bring less violent indictments involving lighter punishments?
61572Is it not that each proclaims itself to be solely legitimate?
61572Is it prudent or is it unavoidable to allow the strife to assume this character?
61572Is it quite certain that the dangers which power dreads are indeed those which it is the object of the penal laws to prevent?
61572Is it so difficult to keep some mercy in reserve for days of security?
61572Is it that they have a more serious effect?
61572Is it, indeed, so politically?
61572Is not this a mournful consideration?
61572Is the action of the public ministry in matters of political crimes spontaneous and independent in principle?
61572Is the case urgent?
61572Is the punishment of death more efficacious, and therefore more necessary, against the dangers which spring up lower in society?
61572Is there any one who does not demand the legal abolition of capital punishment as a political engine?
61572Is there anything coercive in all this?
61572Is there nothing necessarily false or dangerous in granting that it is thereby adequately represented?
61572Is this a people in the process of self- civilisation?
61572Is this all?
61572Is this enough?
61572Is this obligation to do good, which subsists by itself, an isolated fact, without an author or an end?
61572It has struck: has it proved its strength or increased its peril?
61572It has succeeded, however: who can at this day gainsay it?
61572It is certain that an offence has been committed against morality, and society put in danger, and upon whom will the punishment fall?
61572It may be asked, perhaps, what I hope from this work?
61572Might not more danger accrue from this spectacle than from the most powerful adversary of government?
61572Now, let us ask, what was the real lot of the inhabitants, how were their lives passed, and what was their share of happiness?
61572Of what consequence was one of the people, a peasant or a petty bourgeois, in the times when such classes were treated in the manner we have seen?
61572Of what, then, do you complain?
61572Once set out in the way where it meets with such difficulties, can it turn back?
61572Or if it persists, and proceeds in employing the means which those necessities command, will it succeed in its design?
61572Power has prosecuted: was it right in provoking this judgment?
61572Shall we obtain them one day, and on what conditions can such a magistracy have a place in our constitutional system?
61572Should this salutary belief be broken down?
61572The danger past, of what use is severity?
61572The imperfection of legal justice will declare itself in all its extent; and, in fact, what is the imperfection of justice but injustice?
61572The question is no longer who governs, but how he governs?
61572This party may not wish what they wish, and may not believe what they believe; but what of that?
61572This was likewise the opinion of the Constituent Assembly; and what resulted from it?
61572To attain this end, it behoves us to enter upon the preliminary investigation, whether religion is, in fact, purely individual?
61572To which category do these causes of action belong which generally urge men to political offences?
61572Under what native laws was the present government placed?
61572Upon what conditions, and under what limitations, is that personification admissible?
61572Upon what head will it let fall its vengeance?
61572Was it taxed with persecution?
61572Was there ever a true faction that was anything else than a union of banditti forced on by their own base interests, and accessible only to fear?
61572Was this because power did not fear such men, or because it thought it could gain little by ridding itself of them?
61572Was this not the situation of Abraham, of all the patriarchs, and of the Arab chiefs who still present the image of the patriarchal life?
61572Were the administration, the police, the gendarmes, the custom- houses, the passports, found to be useless against such paltry designs?
61572Were they wrong in so doing?
61572What are its elements?
61572What are sects and heresies but the fruit of individual opinions?
61572What are the characteristics of supreme right, such as it derives from its very nature?
61572What caused, about the same period, those great invasions of Italy by the Franks established in Gaul, principally of the eastern or Austrasian Franks?
61572What compels it to allow crime to grow, that it may afterwards have to prosecute it?
61572What condemns it to put the judges and juries so often to the alternative of pardon or injustice?
61572What do the men who labour at it usually promise?
61572What do these facts prove, if not the uncertainty which often accompanies the characterisation of political crimes?
61572What do they treat of, unless it be to decide who has the right to govern society?
61572What does every religion lay claim to?
61572What government would now dare to use the punishment of death against the people in a manner which would render it physically efficacious?
61572What had the Restoration to do to defend society and itself from this peril?
61572What hinders it?
61572What is at stake to the governed?
61572What is in such circumstances the character of capital punishment?
61572What is its character?
61572What is needful to men in order to found a society at all durable and regular?
61572What is the effect of this formal repudiation of force by all the systems?
61572What is this progress?
61572What is to be thought, in particular, of the personification of the sovereignty of right under the image of royalty?
61572What must have been, what really was, the effect of political rigour upon a party thus composed?
61572What nation has been more divided, broken up, or varied, than the ecclesiastical nation?
61572What object can the study of philosophy have, if not to lead to that of God, to whom all ought to be referred?
