33310 | Might reduce the price of raw produce to the cost of production? |
33310 | Why,asks M. Say,"does an individual wish to sell his land? |
33310 | Will it be said that the farmer, he who furnishes labour and capital, will, jointly with the landlord, bear the burden of this tax? 33310 Without doubt this would be a great encouragement given to manufactures and trade; but would it be just? |
33310 | Are the powers of wind and water, which move our machinery, and assist navigation, nothing? |
33310 | But from what fund would those pay the tax who produce corn without paying any rent? |

33310 | Does not Mr. Malthus himself, state it never to be so? |
33310 | Has a merchant an income equal to all the sales which he makes in the course of a year? |
33310 | How is it to be ascertained whether English money has fallen, or Hamburgh money has risen? |
33310 | How then can money, or gold and silver, exchange for more corn in rich, than in poor countries? |
33310 | How then can prices be raised by high profits? |
33310 | How would such land, as M. Say describes in the following passage, pay a tax of one- half or three- fourths of its produce? |
33310 | If capital to any extent can be employed by a country, how can it be said to be abundant compared with the extent of employment for it? |
33310 | If it does not raise it in comparison with other commodities, where is the injury to the home consumer, beyond the inconvenience of paying the tax? |
33310 | If the state claim of him the fifth part of his augmented income, will there not remain 4000 francs of increase to stimulate his further exertions?" |
33310 | In what are they essentially different? |
33310 | In what then does the advantage of the stipulation in the treaty consist? |
33310 | Is it ever for any length of time either above or below this price? |
33310 | Is it possible that Mr. Buchanan can seriously assert, that the produce of the land can not be increased, if the demand increases? |
33310 | Of what advantage or disadvantage then is the treaty to either party? |
33310 | Of what benefit would it be to the community? |
33310 | Should this be the case, should the consumption be diminished, will not the supply also speedily be diminished? |
33310 | The pressure of the atmosphere and the elasticity of steam, which enable us to work the most stupendous engines-- are they not the gifts of nature? |
33310 | Thus, when gold is said to be dearer in England than in Spain, if no commodity is mentioned, what notion does the assertion convey? |
33310 | Under such circumstances, could corn rise in exchangeable value with other things? |
33310 | What can value have to do with the power of feeding and clothing? |
33310 | What has happened? |
33310 | What is the consequence? |
33310 | What should we say of an establishment which should regularly supply half the clothiers with their wool under the market price? |
33310 | Who can have any motive to produce it, before any demand exists for an additional quantity? |
33310 | Who is to produce it? |
33310 | Why does another wish to purchase this same land? |
33310 | Why should corn and vegetables alone be excepted? |
33310 | Why should the manufacturer continue in the trade if his profits are below the general level? |
33310 | Would not the abundance of those peculiar products of the earth cause a rise of rent, if the demand for them at the same time increased? |
33310 | [ 33] Is the following quite consistent with M. Say''s principle? |
33310 | [ 41] Are not the following passages contradictory to the one above quoted? |
33310 | [ 53] Of what increased quantity does Mr. Malthus speak? |
33310 | [ 6] Has not M. Say forgotten, in the following passage, that it is the cost of production which ultimately regulates price? |
33310 | and can rent ever rise, whatever the commodity produced may be, from abundance merely, and without an increase of demand? |
33310 | and would not the labourer thus obtain his usual portion? |

33310 | per annum, when another borrower having little credit, would give 7 or 8?" |

41936 | How much did the horse cost? |
41936 | ( 1) What is human Government? |
41936 | ( c)_ What is Value?_ Plainly it is the result of a comparison instituted between two things, using the word,"things,"here in its broadest sense. |
41936 | 12. Who pays the INDIRECT TAXES? |
41936 | And are the activities of men everywhere greatly and increasingly occupied with just those things, with which this science has exclusively to do? |
41936 | And what is the influence on the Wages of those whose services are now in lessened Desire along the whole line? |
41936 | And what is the remedy for them? |
41936 | And what is the universal Law of it? |
41936 | And where shall we find the terms for an immutable definition of it? |
41936 | And who is competent to announce the result of it in Value? |
41936 | And who would have to pay the taxes needful for the support of the new_ economical_ bureaus? |
41936 | Any_ tendency_ in the one to bring the other? |
41936 | Are CREDITS a legitimate subject of Taxation? |
41936 | Are these facts easily separable in the mind and in reality from other kinds of facts perhaps liable to be confounded with them? |
41936 | Are they facts of vast importance to the welfare of mankind? |
41936 | Because one thing_ follows_ another in point of time, is that any proof that the second is the_ result_ of the other in point of cause? |
41936 | But are borrowers, as a class, any more deserving of the fostering care of government than are lenders? |
41936 | But can not Congress do something to help rebuild the ruined city? |
41936 | But who institutes the comparison? |
41936 | But why have I before me three possible classes of renderers? |
41936 | Can anybody give a solid reason why they ought not to be so taxed? |
41936 | Can it take the place of money entirely? |
41936 | Can not these limits be overpassed in either direction? |
41936 | Commerce by individuals creates great wealth; why should not the organized commerce of a State make everybody rich? |
41936 | Could this profitable trade be easily increased? |
41936 | Demand increasing, Supply remaining as before, market- rate rises: how far can it rise from this cause? |
41936 | Did this astute objector ever hear of"domestic combination"to keep prices up to the highest possible point? |
41936 | Do we fully understand, from the foregoing descriptions and distinctions, the_ Nature_ of Credit? |
41936 | Does an alleged truth fall in with and fill out well some other demonstrated and accepted proposition, or a number of such other propositions? |
41936 | Does that destroy the motive and the gain of an exchange between the countries in these two articles? |
41936 | Does the former already sell to the latter and through the latter more goods than to all the world besides? |
41936 | Does this look like becoming"_ independent_"of the rest of the world in the matter of woollen clothing for our great People? |
41936 | Has Political Economy anything to say about the RATE of taxes per unit of that which is subject to tax? |
41936 | Have not American protectionists shut out French and German products 100:1 under the same plea now used on the Continent? |
41936 | Have we now compassed our first object? |
41936 | Here and now we are dealing with the simpler concrete question, What is the value of any specific valuable thing? |
41936 | Here the vexed question arises, how far has one generation_ the right_ to throw upon succeeding ones the burdens of a National Debt? |
41936 | How can she sell so much of her own stuff? |
41936 | How do new improvements in machinery and other enhanced facilities of Production in one country affect its foreign trade? |

41936 | How would any level- headed man, capable of seeing beyond the point of his nose, have prognosticated in the premises? |
41936 | How? |
41936 | If protectionist taxes made the manufacturers rich, why should they not also enrich the rural herdsmen? |
41936 | If the legal rate be six, and the actual worth be eight, who lends at six? |
41936 | If the question be, How much is it worth? |
41936 | If the transfer took place, what was it that was sold? |
41936 | If this were a matter of genuine taxation, ought there not to have been an_ excise_ on the domestic corresponding to the_ impost_ on the foreign? |
41936 | In behalf of what sort of industries are these taxes ostensibly and plausibly levied? |
41936 | In short, why may not such taxes make everybody rich? |
41936 | In what PROPORTION ought the individual citizens to contribute to the fund annually necessary to be raised by Taxation? |
41936 | In what cases may a Government properly step in to regulate or prohibit the buying and selling of its citizens? |
41936 | In what does she pay? |
41936 | Is Great Britain willing to take in goods from the United States? |
41936 | Is capital abundant in England in bulk, and are its loanable rates low? |
41936 | Is it a good thing for the United States, that Great Britain takes in her goods freely? |
41936 | Is it any wonder that unfulfilled promises to pay invariably become less valuable than_ that_ which they promise to pay? |
41936 | Is it the commercial salvation of the United States that Britain is immovably for free trade with her and the rest of the world? |
41936 | Is not sauce for the goose sauce for the gander also? |
41936 | Is she ever flooded with cheap goods? |
41936 | Is speculation proper? |
41936 | Is that market ever slack on the whole? |
41936 | Is the United States willing to take in British goods in pay for her own goods exported thither? |
41936 | Is the principle of"International Copyright,"so- called, correct? |
41936 | Is there a Science by itself, clear and certain, that covers and controls Valuables?_ Here we must go slowly, if we would go surely. |
41936 | Is there anything substantive and continuous in its_ personnel_ and purposes, as there is in the government of God? |
41936 | Is this free trade profitable to Great Britain? |
41936 | Now, cogitates A, what kind of goods from B had we better restrict or prohibit? |
41936 | Now, what can limit the universal market for material products? |
41936 | Now, what is the necessary effect of Protectionism upon the general Demand for Laborers? |
41936 | Of what use is it to go out free and come back manacled? |
41936 | On what industries do the protectionist taxes fall at first to weaken and discourage them? |
41936 | Or can deny to him or them the_ results_ of such efforts, however embodied? |
41936 | Shall I shave myself or go to the barber? |
41936 | Should there be any EXEMPTIONS from Taxation? |
41936 | Suppose the said nation to succeed, what then? |
41936 | The lighter the old coins became, the scarcer became the new ones; for who would pay two ounces of silver when one ounce was legal tender? |
41936 | The preliminary questions are: What sort of facts has Political Economy to deal with, to inquire into, to classify, to make a science of? |
41936 | The question, Can Congress make such notes a legal tender for contracts made_ after_ the passage of the Act? |
41936 | This is not merely the only possible answer to the question,_ What is Value?_ but it is also a perfectly complete and satisfactory answer. |
41936 | To illustrate, How many ships does a commercial nation need to employ? |
41936 | To make accessible the forests that yield the timber? |
41936 | To open up the mines also and bring them into"touch"with the population? |

360 | will it be necessary for nations to put themselves under mutual surveillance for the sake of verses, statues, and elixirs? |
360 | will you never understand that disparity of wages and the right of increase are one and the same? |

26716 | But at least, if the Greeks do not give character, they give ideal beauty? |
26716 | But nothing of this work will pay? |

26716 | ''Ah,''I thought to myself,''my classifying friend, when you have diffused your taste, where will your classes be? |
26716 | ''Brother,''she said,''how long will this pyramid of thine be in building?'' |
26716 | ''But what has all this to do with our Exchange?'' |
26716 | ''Do n''t you like the clergyman?'' |

26716 | ''What will you make of what you have got?'' |
26716 | ''Why do not you go to the nearer church?'' |
26716 | ''You, good woman, with the quick step and tidy bonnet, what do you like?'' |
26716 | ''You, little boy with the dirty hands and the low forehead, what do you like?'' |
26716 | ''You, little girl with the golden hair and the soft eyes, what do you like?'' |

26716 | A picture is to have harmony of relation among its parts? |
26716 | Admitting that our stars are to be thanked for our safety, whom are we to thank for the danger? |
26716 | Africa, and India, and the Brazilian wide- watered plain, are these not wide enough for the ignorance of our race? |
26716 | Ah, now, are you really going to do nothing but play? |
26716 | Am I to call them-- would_ you_ think me right in calling them-- the idle classes? |
26716 | An inconsistent, treacherous man? |
26716 | And Neith answered,''What shall they build, if I build not with them?'' |
26716 | And Neith smiled,--but still sadly,--and said,''How do you know what I have seen, or heard, my love? |
26716 | And Pthah answered,''Is it not truer labour, sister, than thy sculpture of dreams?'' |
26716 | And Thermopylæ, and Protesilaus, and Marcus Curtius, and Arnold de Winkelried, and Iphigenia, and Jephthah''s daughter? |
26716 | And how are you to know where that will be? |
26716 | And if one is forced to do a wrong thing by some one who has authority over you? |
26716 | And if they all meant as little what they say, would they not deserve it? |
26716 | And if we broke them again, and again, and again, and again, and again? |
26716 | And note you_ whose_ humility? |
26716 | And now, will you bear with me, while I tell you finally why this is so? |
26716 | And shall we have to learn them all? |
26716 | And sometimes we dispute about our places; do the atoms--(and, besides, we do n''t like being compared to atoms at all)--never dispute about theirs?'' |
26716 | And still more-- do you mean to build as honest Christians or as honest Infidels? |
26716 | And the Samaritan woman''s son? |
26716 | And the interpretation? |
26716 | And the one question for_ you_, remember, is not''dark or light?'' |
26716 | And the second? |
26716 | And the souls of the great, cruel, rich people who oppress the poor, and lend money to government to make unjust war, where are they? |
26716 | And then if we broke those again? |
26716 | And then? |
26716 | And thus the perpetual question and contest must arise, who is to do this rough work? |
26716 | And was Neith''s pyramid left? |
26716 | And what do you think all these are owing to? |
26716 | And what does the rock crystal do? |
26716 | And what is it made of? |
26716 | And what is the river beside the road like? |
26716 | And what_ is_ the source of the peculiar charm which we all feel in his work? |
26716 | And when one gets in, what is it like? |
26716 | And would n''t you have been? |
26716 | And yet what truth lies more openly on the surface of all human phenomena? |
26716 | And yet, what other monk ever produced such work? |
26716 | Any dancing figure, do you mean? |
26716 | Are a successful national speculation, and a pestilence, economically the same thing?" |
26716 | Are any of these goddesses or nymphs very beautiful? |
26716 | Are her dominions in the world so narrow that she can find no place to spin cotton in but Yorkshire? |
26716 | Are not all forms of heroism, conceivable in doing these serviceable deeds? |
26716 | Are the Reptile things not alive then? |
26716 | Are the mountains being torn and sewn together again at this moment? |
26716 | Are there really upper classes,--are there lower? |
26716 | Are they not attracted to their places? |
26716 | Are they turned into real bees, with stings? |
26716 | Are they wholly the same, then? |
26716 | Are they wickeder when they are little? |
26716 | Are we not of a race first among the strong ones of the earth; the blood in us incapable of weariness, unconquerable by grief? |

26716 | Are you sure you understand it? |

26716 | Barbara?'' |
26716 | Be it so; but how does this''giving up''differ from suicide then? |
26716 | Because I''m big? |
26716 | Blasphemy, cry you, good reader? |
26716 | But I am sure I have heard a great many good people speak against dancing? |
26716 | But I think, you, Sibyl, at least, might have recollected what first dyed the mulberry? |
26716 | But Neith answered,''Brother, wilt thou also make league with Death, because Death is true? |
26716 | But all foliated crystals are not made of triangles? |
26716 | But are not these, groups of crystals, rather than one crystal? |
26716 | But are you sure that you have left_ all_ your country behind, or that the part of it you have so left is indeed the best part of it? |
26716 | But do not the people who give themselves to seek out the meaning of these things, often get very strange, and extravagant? |
26716 | But do they all perish there? |
26716 | But do you recollect what one of the climbers exclaimed, when he first felt sure of reaching the summit? |
26716 | But do you see what a black spot it looks, in the sunlighted wall? |
26716 | But do you suppose that is what an ordinary sculptor could either lay for his first sketch, or contemplate as a limit to be worked down to? |
26716 | But does every atom know its place? |
26716 | But does he add to his power? |
26716 | But does it never get inside of anything? |
26716 | But how ever shall we do that? |
26716 | But if otherwise, would it have been anything remarkable in them? |
26716 | But if we may not put her into marble in rags, may we give her a pretty frock with ribands and flounces to it, and put her into marble in that? |
26716 | But is Friedrich I. a happier and better man than Henry the Fowler? |
26716 | But is not that only a personification? |
26716 | But is not that wholly wonderful? |
26716 | But is that going on still? |
26716 | But is the quartz_ never_ wicked then? |
26716 | But is there to be no place left, it will be indignantly asked, for imagination and invention, for poetical power, or love of ideal beauty? |
26716 | But is this the same clay as in the other crystal? |
26716 | But must not one repent when one does wrong, and hesitate when one ca n''t see one''s way? |
26716 | But now, may we not ask farther,--is it impossible for art such as this, prepared for the wise, to please the simple also? |
26716 | But rubies ca n''t spot one''s frocks as blackberries do? |
26716 | But should it be played any way? |
26716 | But surely nobody can always know what is right? |
26716 | But surely people ca n''t do very wrong if they do n''t know, can they? |
26716 | But surely that Crystal Palace is a great good and help to the people of London? |
26716 | But surely that is the fault of human nature? |
26716 | But surely this is ruin, not caprice? |
26716 | But surely, Angelico will always retain his power over everybody? |
26716 | But surely, sir, you are always pleased with us when we try to please others, and not ourselves? |
26716 | But surely, these two beautiful things, gold and diamonds, must have been appointed to some good purpose? |
26716 | But that was only a dream? |
26716 | But the main judgment question will be, I suppose, for all of us,''Did you keep a good heart through it?'' |
26716 | But then(_ brightening again_), what should we do without our dear old friends, and our nice old lecturers? |
26716 | But then, how can it possibly cut the crystal? |
26716 | But then, if we ought to forget ourselves so much, how did the old Greek proverb''Know thyself''come to be so highly esteemed? |
26716 | But then, surely, if we are told that it is pain, it must be pain? |
26716 | But then, was not Fra Angelico a man of entirely separate and exalted genius? |
26716 | But then, why did you make Pthah say that he could make weak things strong, and small things great? |
26716 | But there ca n''t be any serpents there, then? |
26716 | But there''s no real Valley of Diamonds, is there? |
26716 | But this is almost marble? |
26716 | But to what end? |
26716 | But was all that fine dream only about this? |
26716 | But what did Pthah say? |
26716 | But what did you mean by making him say''everything great I can make small, and everything small great?'' |
26716 | But what difference is there between such a man and one who lays by coins and gold, and does not know how to use, when he has got them?"] |
26716 | But what do the mountains use to sew with? |
26716 | But what do you think it comes from? |
26716 | But what does Justice say, walking and watching near us? |
26716 | But what had St. Barbara to do with it? |
26716 | But what is the meaning of this necessity the children find themselves under of completing the nomenclature rhythmically and rhymingly? |
26716 | But what ought we to think about it? |
26716 | But what_ are_ we to do to- day? |
26716 | But what_ does_ it mean then? |
26716 | But what_ is_ crystallisation? |
26716 | But when one sacrifices one''s self for others? |
26716 | But where do they assert the contrary? |
26716 | But where does the crystallising substance come from? |
26716 | But where is the money to come from? |
26716 | But who are the fairies, then, who build the crystals? |
26716 | But who shall measure the guilt that is incurred to fill them? |
26716 | But why do you make me think of that verse then about the foot and the eye? |
26716 | But will you look again at the series of coins of the best time of Greek art, which I have just set before you? |
26716 | But you do not mean that the atoms are alive? |
26716 | But you may answer or think,''Is the liking for outside ornaments,--for pictures, or statues, or furniture, or architecture,--a moral quality?'' |
26716 | But you said it was the shape that made things be crystals; therefore, ought n''t their shape to be their first virtue, not their second? |
26716 | But you said they burned, you know? |
26716 | But, first of all, putting the question of who writes, or speaks, aside, do you, good reader,_ know_ good''style''when you get it? |
26716 | But, for its sense or fancy, what food, or stimulus, can it find, in that foul causeway of its youthful pilgrimage? |
26716 | But, sir-- L. Well? |
26716 | But, surely, great good has come out of the monastic system-- our books,--our sciences-- all saved by the monks? |
26716 | But, surely, one must be sad sometimes? |
26716 | But, surely, we ought both to do more than like it? |
26716 | But, then, are we not to mortify our earthly affections? |
26716 | But, then, where is the crystal about which you dreamed all this? |
26716 | By the way, Lily, did you tell the other children that story about your little sister, and Alice, and the sea? |
26716 | By the way, you were all reading about that ascent of the Aiguille Verte, the other day? |
26716 | Ca n''t you tell the others about it? |
26716 | Can not you practise writing ciphers, and write as many as you want? |
26716 | Can they give divine sadness? |
26716 | Can we dare, without passing every limit of courtesy to other nations, to say how much more we have to be proud of in our ancestors than they? |
26716 | Can you drive a nail into wood? |
26716 | Can you fetch me the beads of it? |
26716 | Can you lay a brick? |
26716 | Can you lift a spadeful of earth? |
26716 | Can you only drag a weight with your shoulders? |
26716 | Can you say, of half- a- dozen given lines taken anywhere out of a novel, or poem, or play, That is good, essentially, in style, or bad, essentially? |
26716 | Can you weld iron and chisel stone? |
26716 | Carlyle? |
26716 | Could not you sometimes take gentlemen''s work to illustrate by? |
26716 | Crinoline and all? |
26716 | Did it ever strike you that you wanted another watchword also, fair- work, and another hatred also, foul- work? |
26716 | Did not I show you how the thread cuts my fingers? |
26716 | Did the guardian who died in his trust, die inhumanly, and as a fool; and did the murderess of her child fulfil the law of her being? |
26716 | Did you in any lagging minute, on those scientific occasions, chance to reflect what he was bid stand still_ for_? |
26716 | Do they not say plainly to us, not,"there has been a great_ effort_ here,"but,"there has been a great_ power_ here"? |
26716 | Do you accept it as it stands? |
26716 | Do you know what, by this beautiful division of labour( her brave men fighting, and her cowards thinking), she has come at last to think? |
26716 | Do you know where the lightning is to fall next? |
26716 | Do you make your children pay for their education, or do you give it them compulsorily, and gratis? |
26716 | Do you mean to gather always-- never to spend? |
26716 | Do you mean to say that you are sure you are utterly wicked, and yet do not care? |
26716 | Do you really believe it? |
26716 | Do you seriously mean that the Greeks were better than we are; and that their gods were real angels? |
26716 | Do you think Titian would have helped the world better by denying himself, and not painting; or Casella by denying himself, and not singing? |
26716 | Do you think all those vaults and towers of yours have been built without me? |
26716 | Do you think the father would be particularly pleased? |
26716 | Do you think these phenomena are to stay always in their present power or aspect? |
26716 | Do you think you do n''t know whether you are alive or not? |
26716 | Does expenditure of capital on the production of luxurious dress and furniture tend to make a nation rich or poor? |
26716 | Does he cover his body with jewels, and his table with delicates? |
26716 | Does it mean courage? |
26716 | Does not clearer light come for you on that law after reading these nobly pious words? |
26716 | Does that mean clear-- transparent? |
26716 | Does the crowned creature live simply, bravely, unostentatiously? |
26716 | Does the payment, by the nation, for an indefinite period, of interest on money borrowed from private persons, tend to make the nation rich or poor? |
26716 | Does the road really go_ up_? |
26716 | Emptiness of utter pride, you think? |
26716 | Florrie ashamed of herself? |
26716 | For all men, that is to say; but to what work did the Greeks think that her voice was to call them? |
26716 | For who among us now thinks of bringing men up to be poets?--of producing poets by any kind of general recipe or method of cultivation? |
26716 | Gathering together-- but how much? |
26716 | Getting on-- but where to? |
26716 | Grant them unanimous, how know you they will be unanimous in right? |
26716 | Had it narrowed itself then, in those days, out of all the world, into this peninsula between Cockermouth and Shap? |
26716 | Had these men any quarrel? |
26716 | Has not the man who has worked for the money a right to use it as he best can? |
26716 | Has the nation hitherto worked for and gathered the right thing or the wrong? |
26716 | Have all these kings thus improved their country, but never themselves? |
26716 | Have any of you intently examined the nature of your belief in them? |
26716 | Have they themselves sunk so far as not to hope this? |
26716 | Have we not a history of which we can hardly think without becoming insolent in our just pride of it? |
26716 | Hear now but these, out of his whole heart:--''What,--silent yet? |
26716 | Holding WHAT in your hand? |
26716 | How can any final quarrel of nations be settled otherwise than by war?'' |
26716 | How can you have the heart, when you dislike so to be asked them yourself? |
26716 | How do you know what you have done, or are doing? |
26716 | How do you mean we might understand it? |
26716 | How is it that one never sees it spoken of in books? |
26716 | How is it that the sound of the bell comes so instinctively into his chiming verse? |
26716 | How long were you in doing your back hair, this afternoon, Jessie? |
26716 | How many balls must we go to in the season, to be perfectly virtuous? |
26716 | How many do you think may? |
26716 | How many do you want to live there? |
26716 | How many of our present money- seekers, think you, would have the grace to hang themselves, whoever was killed? |
26716 | How many rods, Lily? |
26716 | How many thousands ought he to have a year? |
26716 | How many ways are there of putting them in order? |
26716 | How many_ can_? |
26716 | How much do you think Homer got for his Iliad? |
26716 | How much should they always be elevated, how much always depressed? |
26716 | How old is Dotty, again? |
26716 | How then? |
26716 | How_ can_ this have been done? |
26716 | How_ did_ Carnage behave in the Holy Land then? |
26716 | I ca n''t express what I mean; but there are two sorts of wrong are there not? |
26716 | I do n''t understand;--how is that like the leaves? |
26716 | I hope you feel inclined to interrupt me, and say,''But we know our places; how do the atoms know theirs? |
26716 | I know they do great harm; but do they not also do great good? |
26716 | I must follow Phre beyond Atlas; shall I build your pyramid for you before he goes down?'' |
26716 | I should like to know how you could kill them more utterly-- kill them with second deaths, seventh deaths, hundredfold deaths? |
26716 | I suppose, as we are to get together in the playground, when it stops raining, in different shapes? |
26716 | I take one at mere chance:''Who thinks of self, when gazing on the sky? |
26716 | I thought the chemists could make them already? |
26716 | If I, who am Lady of wisdom, do not mock the children of men, why shouldst thou mock them, who art Lord of truth?'' |
26716 | If a child finds itself in want of anything, it runs in and asks its father for it-- does it call that, doing its father a service? |
26716 | If it begs for a toy or a piece of cake-- does it call that serving its father? |
26716 | If one could contrive to attach the notion of conquest to them anyhow? |
26716 | If people could not find that, would they not find something else, and quarrel for it instead? |
26716 | If there is no rest which remaineth for you, is there none you might presently take? |
26716 | If we could break this bit under the glass, what would it be like? |
26716 | If you please, sir,--would you tell us-- what are''faults''? |
26716 | If you were to embank Lincolnshire more stoutly against the sea? |
26716 | In what way? |
26716 | Indeed; what else is there? |
26716 | Is it iron? |
26716 | Is it more profane, think you-- or more tender-- nay, perhaps, in the core of it, more true? |
26716 | Is it not the complete fulfilment, down into the very dust, of that verse:''The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain''? |
26716 | Is it not? |
26716 | Is it therefore easier for you in your heart to inflict the sorrow for which there is no remedy? |
26716 | Is n''t he cross? |
26716 | Is not all the life of the soul in communion, not separation? |
26716 | Is not that, broadly, and in the main features, the kind of thing you propose to yourselves? |
26716 | Is not the evidence of Ease on the very front of all the greatest works in existence? |
26716 | Is not this an edge- tool we have got hold of, unawares? |
26716 | Is not this saying much? |
26716 | Is that really so? |
26716 | Is that the way? |
26716 | Is the earth only an hospital? |
26716 | Is there much to be thought-- I mean, much to puzzle one? |
26716 | Is this then all that Heavy Peg and our nine Kurfürsts have done for us? |
26716 | It is but a little island;--suppose, little as it is, you were to fill it with friends? |
26716 | It is not the crystalline lens of your eyes which is sorry, when you cry? |
26716 | It is very delightful to imagine the mountains to be alive; but then,--_are_ they alive? |
26716 | Katie, you broke your coral necklace this morning? |
26716 | L. All about what? |
26716 | L. And how much can you allow for Lily''s good packing, in guessing what will go into the trunk? |
26716 | L. And she was very fond of Alice? |
26716 | L. And so when Alice went away? |
26716 | L. And they would n''t be helped, I suppose? |
26716 | L. And when you mend a decayed stuff with strong thread, does not the whole edge come away sometimes, when it tears again? |
26716 | L. Are you sure the ants could not have helped you, Lily? |
26716 | L. But if it is answered, wo n''t it turn into two? |
26716 | L. But if nobody has ever seen them? |
26716 | L. But none of them left their sticks to help you through the irregular verb? |
26716 | L. But what did she want to ask? |
26716 | L. But when a great many persons get together they do n''t take the shape of one person? |
26716 | L. But why did you want to get out of the valley? |
26716 | L. But why do you want me to tell you true, any more than the man who wrote the''Arabian Nights?'' |
26716 | L. But, Egypt, why did you tell me you disliked sewing so? |
26716 | L. Can you play a Mozart sonata yet, Isabel? |
26716 | L. Certainly it is not;--how can you possibly speak any truth out of such a heart as you have? |
26716 | L. Did you never see a bit of green leaf before, Florrie? |
26716 | L. For people who do n''t love you, and whom you know nothing about? |
26716 | L. How else could it get there? |
26716 | L. How large were the others? |
26716 | L. If I thought anyone else could answer better than you, Lucilla, I would; but suppose I try, instead, myself, to explain your feelings to you? |
26716 | L. If it be, what will you gain by unpersonifying it, or what right have you to do so? |
26716 | L. In your shoulders, then? |
26716 | L. Is n''t that pretty, children? |
26716 | L. My dear child, what good? |
26716 | L. My dear, it is the proverb of proverbs; Apollo''s proverb, and the sun''s;--but do you think you can know yourself by looking_ into_ yourself? |
26716 | L. Nor you, Sibyl? |
26716 | L. Only one? |
26716 | L. Only that it tells lies within you? |
26716 | L. Saved from what, my dear? |
26716 | L. That you have an entirely bad heart? |
26716 | L. That''s very hard, Florrie; why must n''t I, if you may? |
26716 | L. Then why should they bear it? |
26716 | L. Then, have you two hearts; one of which is wicked, and the other grieved? |
26716 | L. There is no occasion for understanding it; but do you feel it? |
26716 | L. Well, then, you are sorry in your heart? |
26716 | L. Well; and what do you mean by''giving up one''s self?'' |
26716 | L. What are you sorry with, Lucilla? |
26716 | L. What did I say first? |
26716 | L. What do you call real things? |
26716 | L. What do you mean by a group, and what by one crystal? |
26716 | L. What do_ you_ mean by dressing? |
26716 | L. What is it then? |
26716 | L. What is it to be alive? |
26716 | L. What''s that, May? |
26716 | L. Whether you can see them or not? |
26716 | L. Why not little girls, then? |
26716 | L. Why not little girls? |
26716 | L. Why not rather others for you? |
26716 | L. Why not, Isabel? |
26716 | L. Why not? |
26716 | L. Would you really rather pull out your own than Tittie''s? |
26716 | L. Yes; I mean, where do you feel sorry? |
26716 | L. You are indeed commanded to cut off and to pluck out, if foot or eye offend you; but why_ should_ they offend you? |
26716 | L. You are sure of that? |
26716 | L. You do n''t call that a''question,''seriously, Violet? |
26716 | L. You never heard of such things? |
26716 | L. You think it should go down into a valley? |
26716 | Lily, what were you so busy about, at the ant- hill in the wood, this morning? |
26716 | May I call you-- let me see--''primary molecules?'' |
26716 | May I touch them? |
26716 | May I try? |
26716 | May we break it? |
26716 | May we break this, too? |
26716 | May we sculpture her so? |
26716 | May you sculpture it where it hangs? |
26716 | Me singing? |
26716 | Mephistopheles in vain calls to them--"What do you duck and shrink for-- is that proper hellish behaviour? |
26716 | Mercy on us( you think), what will she say next? |
26716 | Might we look at that piece of broken quartz again, with the weak little film across it? |
26716 | Must n''t the ones in the middle be the nearest, and the outside ones farther off-- when we go away to scatter, I mean? |
26716 | Nature asks of him calmly and inevitably, What have you found, or formed-- the right thing or the wrong? |
26716 | Nay, but( it is asked) how is that an unfair advantage? |
26716 | Nay, if you blush so, Kathleen, how can one help looking? |
26716 | Neith''s pyramid? |
26716 | Next, why has it a rim? |
26716 | No, I ca n''t; will you tell us, please? |
26716 | No, because they ca n''t; but, you know the crystals can; so why should n''t they? |
26716 | No; but if one wants to read an amusing book, instead of learning one''s lesson? |
26716 | Not above three- quarters of an hour, I think, Jess? |
26716 | Not altogether so; but indeed the_ Vocal_ piety seemed conclusively to have retired( or excursed?) |
26716 | Not gold, not greenbacks, not ciphers after a capital I? |
26716 | Now, do you mean to say you never go to these Crystal Palace concerts? |
26716 | Now, first of all, what do you mean by''bricks?'' |
26716 | Now, how do you consider that these several institutes differ, or ought to differ, from''idle men''s''institutes and''idle men''s''colleges? |
26716 | Now, lastly, will you tell me what_ we_ worship, and what_ we_ build? |
26716 | Now, shall I try to tell you? |
26716 | Now, what playground have the minerals? |
26716 | Now, what right have any of us to assume that our own fancies will assuredly be either the one or the other? |
26716 | Of real gold? |
26716 | Oh dear, oh dear; and then? |
26716 | Oh, but suppose that they had minded me? |
26716 | Oh, can not you show us one? |
26716 | Oh, dear; but is the calcite harder than the crystal then? |
26716 | Oh, please, but did n''t Neith say anything then? |
26716 | Oh, where? |
26716 | On the chance of its being so, might I ask hearing for just a few words more of the school of Belial? |
26716 | Or are we perchance, many of us, still erring somewhat in our notions alike of Divinity and Humanity,--poetical extraction, and moral position? |
26716 | Or by what other word than''idle''shall I distinguish those whom the happiest and wisest of working men do not object to call the''Upper Classes?'' |
26716 | Or does the mode of distribution in any wise affect the nature of the riches? |
26716 | Or if a few slave- masters are rich, and the nation is otherwise composed of slaves, is it to be called a rich nation? |
26716 | Or is it conceivable that they might have been real beings,--good spirits,--entrusted with some message from the true God? |
26716 | Or me? |
26716 | Or were they actually real beings-- evil spirits,--leading men away from the true God? |
26716 | Or, suppose that they can neither be of one mind, nor of two minds, but can only be of_ no_ mind? |
26716 | Ought not that to disturb some of your thoughts respecting Greek idealism? |
26716 | Our third and last virtue, I suppose? |
26716 | Paved with garnets? |
26716 | People in Rome only? |
26716 | QUESTION SECOND.--What is the quantity of the store, in relation to the population? |
26716 | Qui discrepat istis Qui nummos aurumque recondit, nescius uti Compositis; metuensque velut contingere sacrum? |
26716 | Red water? |
26716 | Shall we find in their artwork any of that pensiveness and yearning for the dead, which fills the chants of their tragedy? |
26716 | Shall we never listen to the words of these wisest of men? |
26716 | Shall we read them again? |
26716 | Should it, if not by your servants, be practised by yourselves? |
26716 | Should we not educate the whole intellect into general strength, and all the affections into warmth and honesty, and look to heaven for the rest? |
26716 | Sindbad''s, which nobody could get out of? |
26716 | Sir-- surely-- are we not told that they are all evil? |
26716 | Sir? |
26716 | So I did; but that helped little; I thought of Dante''s forest of suicides, too, but you would not simply have borrowed that? |
26716 | So may n''t it really be divided into three? |
26716 | So much we pay for educating children gratis;--how much for educating diamonds gratis? |
26716 | Somehow, often as people say that, they never seem, to me, to believe it? |
26716 | Sorry with, sir? |
26716 | Stand fast, and let them strew"--"Was duckt und zuckt ihr; ist das Hellen- brauch? |
26716 | Suppose it should thus turn out, finally, that a true government set to true work, instead of being a costly engine, was a paying one? |
26716 | Suppose we use this calamitous forenoon to choose the shapes we are to crystallise into? |
26716 | Suppose, instead of this volunteer marching and countermarching, you were to do a little volunteer ploughing and counter- ploughing? |
26716 | Surely it is more wonderful than anything in botany? |
26716 | The Teutsch Ritters, fighting him for charity, are they so much inferior to you? |
26716 | The first question, then, which we have to put under our simple conception of central Government, namely,"What store has it?" |
26716 | The first, and last, and closest trial question to any living creature is,''What do you like?'' |
26716 | The second inquiry into two: 1. Who are the Holders of the store, and in what proportions? |
26716 | Then do the good ones get angry? |
26716 | Then may we only learn the three? |
26716 | Then we really may believe that the mountains are living? |
26716 | Then, we are all to learn dress- making, are we? |
26716 | There is no God, but have we not invented gunpowder?--who wants a God, with that in his pocket? |
26716 | There''s no doubt of conscience about that, I suppose? |
26716 | Therefore, when your pauper comes to you and asks for bread, ask of him instantly-- What faculty have you? |
26716 | These were the questions you wanted to ask; were they not, Lucilla? |
26716 | They had deliberately closed their eyes to all nature, and had gone on inquiring,"Where do you put your brown tree?" |
26716 | They understand now: but, do you know what you said next? |
26716 | They would not openly ask of their hearers-- Did you think my sermon ingenious, or my language poetical? |
26716 | Think you that''men may come, and men may go,''but-- mills-- go on forever? |
26716 | Thus, if the king alone be rich-- suppose Croesus or Mausolus-- are the Lydians or Carians therefore a rich nation? |
26716 | To be heroic in change and sway of fortune is little;--for do you not love? |
26716 | To be patient through the great chasm and pause of loss is little;--for do you not still love in heaven? |
26716 | To our honesty of heart, or coolness of head, or steadiness of will? |
26716 | To our thinkers, or our statesmen, or our poets, or our captains, or our martyrs, or the patient labour of our poor? |
26716 | To wear semblances, to be ready with evasive words, how is this, Mr. Carlyle? |
26716 | To what our English sires have done for us, and taught us, age after age? |
26716 | Too illiberal, you think; and what would Mr. J. S. Mill say? |
26716 | Was any woman, do you suppose, ever the better for possessing diamonds? |
26716 | Was ever man the better for having coffers full of gold? |
26716 | Was it an angel of death to the Jew only, or to the Gentile also?'' |
26716 | Was that really possible? |
26716 | Was the heart pure and true-- tell us that? |
26716 | Well then, next, what do you mean by the flying of the bricks? |
26716 | Well, but if people do as well as they can see how, surely that is the right for them, is n''t it? |
26716 | Well, but surely, at least one ought to be afraid of displeasing God; and one''s desire to please Him should be one''s first motive? |
26716 | Well, first one would string them, I suppose? |
26716 | Well, gentlemen, who taught them that method of festivity? |
26716 | Well, then, first of all-- What shall we ask first, Mary? |
26716 | Well, then, who are called to be that? |
26716 | Well, what in the name of Plutus is it you want? |
26716 | Well, what is that? |
26716 | Well-- but it is answered, are we to have no diamonds, nor china, nor pictures, nor footmen, then-- but all to be farmers? |
26716 | Were not you reading about that group of words beginning with V,--vital, virtuous, vigorous, and so on,--in Max Muller, the other day, Sibyl? |
26716 | Were they idly imagined to be real beings? |
26716 | What are Hamburg pedlars made for but to be robbed?" |
26716 | What are the principles which regulate the rent which may thus be paid?" |
26716 | What can you do best? |
26716 | What do you mean by a great nation, but a great multitude of men who are true to each other, and strong, and of worth? |
26716 | What do you mean by a group of people? |
26716 | What do you mean by doing this? |
26716 | What do you think the beautiful word''wife''comes from? |
26716 | What does it matter whether I get short weight, adulterate substance, or dishonest fabric? |
26716 | What does it matter, as long as they remain stupid, whether you change their feelings or not? |
26716 | What does''Tourmaline''mean? |
26716 | What does''cooking''mean? |
26716 | What function? |
26716 | What is it the atoms do, that is like flying? |
26716 | What is it then-- is it ciphers after a capital I? |
26716 | What is it? |
26716 | What is it? |
26716 | What is its quantity in relation to the currency? |
26716 | What is its quantity in relation to the population? |
26716 | What is the nature of the store? |
26716 | What is the nature of the store? |
26716 | What is the quantity of the store in relation to the Currency? |
26716 | What is wise work, and what is foolish work? |
26716 | What melody does Tityrus meditate on his tenderly spiral pipe? |
26716 | What mode or limit of representation may we adopt? |
26716 | What more need we ask? |
26716 | What practical difference is there between''that,''and what you are talking about? |
26716 | What the difference between sense and nonsense, in daily occupation? |
26716 | What trials have they? |
26716 | What was to be the impulse communicated by her prevailing presence; what the sign of the people''s obedience to her? |
26716 | What worth is there in toys of canvas and stone if compared to the joy and peace of artless domestic life?'' |
26716 | What would be the next way? |
26716 | What, you say, those glorious cathedrals-- the pride of Europe-- did their builders not form Gothic architecture? |
26716 | What-- having the gift of imagery-- should we by preference endeavour to image? |
26716 | What_ can_ the nasty hard thing be? |
26716 | What_ is_ to become of them? |
26716 | Whatever gifts the boy had, would much be likely to come of them so treated? |
26716 | When first these essays were published, I remember one of their reviewers asking contemptuously,"Is half- a- crown a document?" |
26716 | When the two halves of the dining table came separate, yesterday, was that a''fault''? |
26716 | Where are men ever to be happy, if not in England? |
26716 | Where are they scattered before they are crystallised; and where are the crystals generally made? |
26716 | Where does it come from? |
26716 | Where is the political economist in France, or England, who ventured to assert the conclusions of his science as adverse to this system? |
26716 | Where were you? |
26716 | Whereupon arises the question, what opportunity have you to obtain engravings? |
26716 | Which Samaritan woman''s? |
26716 | Which has betrayed it-- falsified it? |
26716 | Which of them has failed from their nature-- from their present, possible, actual nature;--not their nature of long ago, but their nature of now? |
26716 | Who is bravest? |
26716 | Who is there who does not sympathize with him in the simple love with which he dwells on the brightness and bloom of our summer fruit and flowers? |
26716 | Who is there who for a moment could contend with him in the unaffected, yet humorous truth with which he has painted our peasant children? |
26716 | Who is wisest? |
26716 | Who packed your trunk for you, last holidays, Isabel? |
26716 | Whose fault is it? |
26716 | Why did n''t you take me with you? |
26716 | Why do you say Neith does it? |
26716 | Why has it been made round? |
26716 | Why not say it all depended on Herodias''daughter, at once? |
26716 | Why should it not be represented, if possible, just as it is seen? |
26716 | Why should n''t she? |
26716 | Why should you not be ashamed also to do it in public place and power? |
26716 | Why should you suppose that Nature always means you to know exactly how far one thing is from another? |
26716 | Why speak of these lower services? |
26716 | Why, giving up one''s pleasures is not killing one''s self? |
26716 | Wicked, sir? |
26716 | Wilful error is limited by the will, but what limit is there to that of which we are unconscious? |
26716 | Will Dryden do? |
26716 | Will God be satisfied with us, think you, if we read His words merely for the sake of an entirely meaningless poetical sensation? |
26716 | Will you allow me to ask precisely the meaning of this? |
26716 | Will you have Paul Veronese to paint your ceiling, or the plumber from over the way? |
26716 | Will you have dominion over its stones, or over its clouds, or over its souls? |
26716 | Will you put an Olympus of silver upon a golden Pelion-- make Ossa like a wart? |
26716 | Will you take, for foundation of act and hope, the faith that this man was such as God made him, or that this woman was such as God made her? |
26716 | Will you take, wantonly, this little all of his life from your poor brother, and make his brief hours long to him with pain? |
26716 | Will you trust me meanwhile? |
26716 | With broad highway to Paris and little hindrance--_we_ scattered, helpless here and there-- what to advise? |
26716 | Wo n''t that do? |
26716 | Wo n''t you tell us what it means? |
26716 | Would a crystallographer? |
26716 | Would it be more beautiful uncut? |
26716 | Would that leaf gold separate into finer leaves, in the same way? |
26716 | Would you like to see how they really are found? |
26716 | Would''st thou have laughed, had I come coffin''d home That weep''st to see me triumph? |
26716 | Yes(_ presently finding it_); where shall I begin? |
26716 | Yes, yes,--and then? |
26716 | Yet do we ever ask ourselves, personally, or even nationally, whether our work is coming to anything or not? |
26716 | Yet what machine is so vast, so incognisable, as the working of the mind of a nation what child''s touch so wanton, as the word of a selfish king? |
26716 | You are, on the whole, very good children sitting here to- day;--do you think that your goodness comes all by your own contriving? |
26716 | You do n''t mean that she is a real spirit, do you? |
26716 | You do n''t understand perhaps why I call you''sentimental''schoolboys, when you go into the army? |
26716 | You doubt who is strongest? |
26716 | You fancy, perhaps, that there is a severe sense of duty mixed with these peacocky motives? |
26716 | You feel, doubtless, that your own idea of Christ would be something very different from this; but in what does the difference consist? |
26716 | You gather corn:--will you bury England under a heap of grain; or will you, when you have gathered, finally eat? |
26716 | You gather gold:--will you make your house- roofs of it, or pave your streets with it? |
26716 | You know I was to tell about the words that began with V. Sibyl, what does''virtue''mean, literally? |
26716 | You know the place I mean, do not you? |
26716 | You like me to see you dancing, do n''t you Lily? |
26716 | You shall have thousands of gold pieces;--thousands of thousands-- millions-- mountains, of gold: where will you keep them? |
26716 | You think Pindar wrote that carelessly? |
26716 | You think you can make him like Dante and Beethoven? |
26716 | You were at Chamouni last year, Sibyl; did your guide chance to show you the pierced rock of the Aiguille du Midi? |
26716 | You were too proud to become merchants or farmers yourselves: will you have merchants or farmers then for your field marshals? |
26716 | You were too proud to become shopkeepers: are you satisfied then to become the servants of shopkeepers? |
26716 | You would be afraid to answer that your heart_ was_ pure and true, would not you? |
26716 | You would not have had me take my crown off, and stoop all the way down a passage fit only for rats? |
26716 | You, for instance, Lucilla, who think often, and seriously, of such things? |
26716 | [ 100] What general feeling, it may be asked incredulously, can possibly pervade all this? |
26716 | [ 167]''One other such novel, and there''s an end; but who can last for ever? |
26716 | [ 84] But how will he apply this labour? |
26716 | _ Did_ Providence put them in that position, or did_ you_? |
26716 | and I am to sit here to be asked questions till supper- time, am I? |
26716 | and can you never lie down_ upon_ it, but only_ under_ it? |
26716 | and can you say why such half- dozen lines are good, or bad? |
26716 | and did they so usurp the place of the true God? |
26716 | and how is the worker of it to be comforted, redeemed, and rewarded? |
26716 | and silent_ all_? |
26716 | and surely we are to sacrifice ourselves, at least in God''s service, if not in man''s? |
26716 | and that, though we may not take advantage of a child''s or a woman''s weakness, we may of a man''s foolishness? |
26716 | and what kind of play should he have, and what rest, in this world, sometimes, as well as in the next? |
26716 | and which pays best for brightening, the spirit or the charcoal? |
26716 | and why have n''t you brought me some diamonds? |
26716 | as thoroughly and confessedly either one or the other? |
26716 | but for two nations, it seems to me, not wholly comic? |
26716 | but how come they to be like that? |
26716 | but how many have been made base, frivolous, and miserable by desiring them? |
26716 | but surely, sir, we can not make our hearts clean? |
26716 | but"What possibly can you see_ in_ these?" |
26716 | but"_ Which way_ is it gradated?" |
26716 | but''tidy or untidy?'' |
26716 | by whom shall they ever be taught to do right, if not by you? |
26716 | do you think the universe is bound to look consistent to a girl of fifteen? |
26716 | do you wish it to be modified? |
26716 | for what noble work was there ever any audible"demand"in that poor sense( Past and Present)? |
26716 | for whom?'' |
26716 | greenbacks? |
26716 | have the crystals faults, like us? |
26716 | have they not space enough for its pain? |
26716 | how should such as he think of Christ? |
26716 | how?--how? |
26716 | if you only want brown hairs, would n''t two of mine do? |
26716 | in your feet? |
26716 | is one of equal importance, whatever may be the constitution of the State; while the second question-- namely,"Who are the holders of the store?" |
26716 | is this then thy will, that men should mould only four- square pieces of clay: and the forms of the gods no more?'' |
26716 | little girls as well as other people? |
26716 | not even, in familiar Saxon,''dust?'' |
26716 | not with diamonds strewed about it like dew? |
26716 | or Dante for his Paradise? |
26716 | or do you think the object of education is to efface it, and make us forget it for ever? |
26716 | or how are you to determine where it may be, but by being ready for it always? |
26716 | or if not-- will you please look-- and what, also, going forth again as a strong man to run his course, he saw, rejoicing? |
26716 | or is one side of it sorry for the other side? |
26716 | or strip the peat of Solway, or plant Plinlimmon moors with larch-- then, in due season, some amateur reaping and threshing? |
26716 | or that, if he had only known a little modern anatomy, instead of"reptile"things, he would have said"monochondylous"things? |
26716 | she is buried at H---- then?'' |
26716 | she said at last,''what is this vanity? |
26716 | sister, in truth they do not love us; why should they set up our images? |
26716 | the first of girls''virtues is dancing? |
26716 | their love is vain; or fear us? |
