44349 | Are you confident that the knots are securely tied? |

44349 | I sat down, whereupon he seated himself opposite me, remarking as he did so,"Have you brought slates with you?" |

14599 | How is it possible to obtain recognition of the inner man, to observe its growth and foster it? |
14599 | How is it that the profound sinner who lives for pleasure can at last feel stir within himself the divine afflatus? |
14599 | How, then, can he know that he lives? |
14599 | If religion be of God how is it that we find that same God in his own works and acts violating the precepts of religion? |
14599 | In contemplating a battlefield it is impossible to realize the agony of every sufferer; why, then, realize your own pain more keenly than another''s? |
14599 | In how many virtuous and religious men does not this same state exist? |
14599 | Is it not a pure statement of the law of Karma? |
14599 | Is it not enough to produce a weariness and sickness unutterable, to be forever accomplishing a task only to see it undone again? |
14599 | Is it too dogmatic to say that a man must have foothold before he can spring? |
14599 | Is there one? |
14599 | It can not answer the question"what am I?" |
14599 | Knowledge is man''s greatest inheritance; why, then, should he not attempt to reach it by every possible road? |
14599 | Otherwise how could they exist, even for an hour, in such a mental and psychic atmosphere as is created by the confusion and disorder of a city? |
14599 | Otherwise why place them so far off? |
14599 | Shall we not search for it? |
14599 | Some scant fragments we have of these great gifts of man; where, then, is the whole of which they must be a part? |
14599 | The disciple may say, Should I study these thoughts at all did I not seek out the way? |

14599 | What we desire to discover is, who is the user; what part of ourselves is it that demands the presence of this thing so hateful to the rest?" |
14599 | When will that ultimate good be attained? |
14599 | Where is this to be found? |
14599 | Who cares for any intermediate states? |
14599 | Who places those obstacles there? |
14599 | Why does he desire his own hurt? |
14599 | Why does he not stay on this hill- top he has reached, and look away to the mountains beyond, and resolve to scale those greater heights? |
14599 | Why is this? |
14599 | Why long and look for that which is beyond all hope until the inner eyes are opened? |
14599 | Why not piece together the fragments that we have, at hand, and see whether from them some shape can not be given to the vast puzzle? |

14599 | Why this useless labor? |
14599 | Why, then, should she shut her doors on any? |
14599 | Why? |
14599 | Yet is it for his own people to say he has done wrong, if he has injured no man and remained just? |
14599 | Yet man has undoubtedly within himself the heroism needed for the great journey; else how is it martyrs have smiled amid the torture? |
30134 | Do you mean to say that Turner got his effects in that way? |
30134 | Why hast thou disquieted me to bring me up? 30134 And what of the idiot? 30134 And why, in remote places like the antarctic regions, are both young and old birds and animals unafraid of man? 30134 As the world is today what could a pushing, energetic, up- to- date group of souls do if born into Egypt? 30134 But how and when were theymade"? |

30134 | Except by that hypothesis how is it possible to explain such evolutionary progress? |
30134 | Have we ever heard of a plan more just, of a truth more inspiring? |
30134 | How can consciousness possibly escape the laws that evolve the media for the expression of consciousness? |
30134 | How can it be explained by those who hold that the soul is created at birth? |

30134 | If God really brings the soul into its original expression in an infant body, why does he throw it out again in a few years, or even months? |
30134 | If He creates them as they come into the world at birth why are not all of them created wise and kind? |
30134 | If it were otherwise what would become of the argument that an omniscient God has ordered it as it is? |

30134 | If we were all thus controlled and directed what would become of free will? |
30134 | It is when the World Teacher is most needed that he comes; and when has the need been greater than now? |
30134 | Just what do they mean by that and in what way does it prove the personal identity of a dead man who is communicating? |
30134 | Might not that distortion of the physical brain easily be the result of violent reaction from cruelties in a past life? |

21533 | What demon is this that has taken possession of me? |
21533 | What have I done? |
21533 | Why act at all, the objection will be urged, if everything is foreseen by the Law? 21533 A man clothed in soft raiment? 21533 A prophet? 21533 A reed shaken with the wind? 21533 And his disciples asked him, saying: Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? 21533 And once more, why not another time all those steps, to perform which the views of Eternal Rewards so powerfully assist us? 21533 And that which even I must forget_ now_, is that necessarily forgotten for ever? |

21533 | St. Augustine said:"Did I not live in another body, or somewhere else, before entering my mother''s womb? |
21533 | The question, however, might be asked: How is the transition made from one kingdom to another? |

21533 | What soul could admit that the innocent should be punished for the guilty? |

5772 | Oh, yes, why not? 5772 Primaveeta, who can understand you?" |
5772 | Shall we not go and welcome him when he returns? |
5772 | Shall we not take you to Dun Imrish, or to Dun Delca, where you may be with Emer? |
5772 | Tell me, for I would know, why do you wait so long? 5772 There is that fantastic fellow who slipped by me-- could your wisdom not keep him? |

5772 | After all, what else could the soul do after death but think itself out? |
5772 | After freedom can you dwell in these gloomy duns? |
5772 | Ah, very well they are; well to know and to keep, but wherefore? |
5772 | And in what future will be born the powers which are not quick in the present? |
5772 | And now, changing from particular types, how do we look upon Theosophy as a power in Ethics? |
5772 | And we, who professed to bring such wisdom, what have we to say? |
5772 | And what of the other sheep? |
5772 | And why? |

5772 | Are not its ideas on a level with, if not higher than, what his most sublime moments of feeling can bring before him? |
5772 | Are not the lives of all her heroes proof? |
5772 | Are the rocks barren? |
5772 | Are these conditions, social and mental, which some would have us strive for really so admirable as we are assured they are? |
5772 | Are they gay or sad together On that way who go?" |
5772 | Are they worth having at all? |
5772 | Are we to acknowledge that Christianity or Agnosticism is more practical, easier for the men in the street to grasp? |
5772 | Are we to confess Theosophy is a doctrine only for the learned, the cultured, the wealthy? |
5772 | Are we to say that Theosophy is not a gospel for to- day? |
5772 | Are you all alone there? |
5772 | Art thou a magian, or in thee Has the divine eye power to see?" |
5772 | Born out of the womb of the earth long ago in the fulness of power-- what shadow had dimmed his beauty? |
5772 | But how are we to hope for this progress? |
5772 | But if it does do so, what does it substitute? |
5772 | But what gardens are these?" |
5772 | But whence came the two maidens who were walking toward him along the glistening sand? |
5772 | But who is there may set apart his destiny from the earth which bore him? |
5772 | But who of the old bards would have described nature other than as she is? |

5772 | Can not we get this ideal or some other ideal so essential a part of our thought that it colours all our feelings, emotions and actions? |
5772 | Can they not be stayed?" |
5772 | Can we not do something to allay the sorrow of the world? |
5772 | Can we reject him or any other as comrades while they offer? |

5772 | Could the fire of the altar inspire more? |
5772 | Cuchullain was silent awhile and then said reflectively:"Do you think we could find Liban again?" |
5772 | Cuchullin, whose hair, dark( blue?) |

5772 | Do the war- songs of the Ultonians inspire thee ever like the terrible chant of fire? |
5772 | Do we not treasure most their words which remind us of our divine origin? |
5772 | Do you call those miserable myriads a humanity? |
5772 | Do you sigh at the long, long time? |
5772 | Does it seem very vast and far away? |
5772 | Does not Theosoophy afford the very best outlet for his soul force? |
5772 | Does the glory fade away before thee? |
5772 | Does this seem to slight a guarantee for sincerity, for trust reposed? |
5772 | Earth- breath, what is it you whisper? |
5772 | Father, what is it they tell me? |
5772 | Father, why do I hear the things others hear not, voices calling to unknown hunters of wide fields, or to herdsmen, shepherds of the starry flocks"? |
5772 | For their own sake? |
5772 | Full of scorn it spake,"You, born of clay, a ruler of stars? |
5772 | Had he not written of it? |
5772 | Has he not done it over and over again, as here? |
5772 | Has she also become one of the Sidhe that she journeys thus?" |
5772 | Has thou not degraded me before all the maidens of Eri by forsaking me for a woman of the Sidhe without a cause? |
5772 | Have they not come forth in every land and race when there was need? |
5772 | Have we uttered with equal confidence such hopes, or with such daring and amplitude of illustration? |
5772 | Have you brought back a message from the Sidhe?" |
5772 | His spirituality, beauty and tenderness, are these fostered in the civilizations of today? |
5772 | How can it accomplish its high mission in the world if we seem to ignore in our ranks the presence of the insincere person or fraud?" |
5772 | How is it, father, that the pouring of cool water over roots, or training up the branches can nourish Zeus? |
5772 | How shall he now escape? |
5772 | I hardly had rested, My dreams wither now: Why comest thou crested And gemmed on they brow? |
5772 | I knew the faces of the day-- Dream faces, pale, with cloudy hair, I know you not nor yet your home, The Fount of Shadowy Beauty, where? |
5772 | I murmured? |
5772 | I stood before one of this race, and I thought,"What is the meaning and end of life here?" |
5772 | I suppose you have some theory about it all-- as wonderful as your gardens?" |
5772 | I thought,"To what end is this life poured forth and withdrawn?" |
5772 | If he could only find it, what might he not dare, to what might he not attain? |
5772 | If our humanity fails us or become degraded, of what value are the rest? |
5772 | In the many cases where the suffering is unavoidable, and can not be otherwise received, what are we to do? |
5772 | Is it by any of these dear and familiar names? |
5772 | Is it by wishing for it that this state will come about? |
5772 | Is nature to be lost; beauty to be swallowed up? |
5772 | Is not that a frightful thought?" |
5772 | Is the brown earth unbeautiful? |
5772 | Is there no everyday way of getting forward? |
5772 | Is this the only way for us as a people? |

5772 | It is now the Hour of the King,"Who would think this quite breather From the world had taken flight? |
5772 | No clubs, classes, music- halls-- anything of the sort, eh?" |
5772 | Of what power are spear and arrow beside the radiant sling of Lu? |
5772 | Or does it appear hopeless to you who perhaps return with trembling feet evening after evening from a little labour? |
5772 | Or will they assimilate the aged thought of the world and apply it to the needs of their own land? |
5772 | Others have explained intellectually tattvas, principles and what not, but who like him has touched the heart of a hidden nobility? |
5772 | Others may have been more eloquent and learned, but who has been so wise? |
5772 | Others may have written more beautifully, but who with such intimations of the Secret Spirit breathing within? |
5772 | Out of these as from a fountain will spring-- what? |
5772 | Perhaps he is ill. Are you not well, sir?" |
5772 | Perhaps you could tell us a real dream?" |
5772 | Pitiful toiler with the pen, feeble and weary body, what shall make of you a spirit?" |
5772 | Sad or fain no more to live? |

5772 | Shall we go invisibly, or in other forms? |
5772 | She cried out,"Laeg, Laeg, do you see anything?" |
5772 | Should we not waken him?" |
5772 | Show, form, appearance and seeming, what force have they? |
5772 | Some questions we ought to ask ourselves about this movement: where its foundations were laid? |
5772 | Tell me-- you dream-- have you ever seen a light from the sun falling upon you in your slumber? |
5772 | That you knew some one who knew the Masters? |
5772 | The Glory Why tremble and weep now, Whom stars once obeyed? |
5772 | The Shadow Who art thou, O Glory, In flame from the deep, Where stars chant their story, Why trouble my sleep? |
5772 | The children looked without talking Till Roray spoke again,"Are those our folk who are walking Like little shadow men? |
5772 | The flame of Beauty far in space-- When rose the fire, in Thee? |
5772 | The rill to its bed came splashing With rocks on the top of that: The children awoke with a flashing Of wonder,"What were we at?" |
5772 | The voices from the earthly ways Questioned him still:"What dost thou here, If neither prophet, king nor seer? |
5772 | Then Apollo said,"What wisdom shall we give to children that they may remember? |
5772 | To the question,"What have we to do with God?" |
5772 | Twilight of amethyst, amid The few strange stars that lit the heights, Where was the secret spirit hid, Where was Thy place, O Light of Lights? |
5772 | Was not this apartness the very thing he had just been bitterly feeling? |
5772 | Was the gloom of the great warrior because he was but the shadow of his former self, or was that pale form indeed empty? |
5772 | We write that in letters, in books, but to the face of the fallen who brings back remembrance? |
5772 | Were not these enough for him? |
5772 | Were they not giants long ago, mighty men and heroes? |
5772 | What are the princeliest of them beside the fiery halls of Tir- na- noge and the flame- built cities of the Gods? |
5772 | What are we to do to realize these ideas? |
5772 | What did you think the links were? |
5772 | What had he been in her presence that could teach her otherwise? |
5772 | What has Theosophy to offer to the Roman Catholic? |
5772 | What is love but a breath of their very being? |

14378 | And if Jesus was a true prophet despite existing confusion of authorities, why on the same lines may not Buddha have been one? |

14587 | And the Odyssey? |
14587 | And the meaning of it all? |

14587 | Can you conceive that their appearance, all in that one epoch, was a matter of chance? |
14587 | Can you fancy Latona and her children so received by Greekish or Latin monks into the Communion of Saints? |
14587 | Can you nourish men upon poisons century by century, and expect them to retain the semblance of men? |
14587 | Ch''iu asked,''Shall I do all I am taught?'' |
14587 | Could he have known the teachings, had he not been instructed in a school where they were known? |
14587 | Could he have urged such a plea, had it not been known he was uninitiated? |
14587 | Did he go to break a way into India, perhaps there to find a light beyond any that was in Rome? |
14587 | Did he go to reap glory that he might have used, or thought he might have used, in his grand design? |
14587 | Did he hide it away, lest others should be as happy as himself? |
14587 | Did not experience show that opposites proceed from opposites? |
14587 | Did she mean by that merely an initiate of the Official Mysteries as they still existed at Eleusis and elsewhere? |
14587 | Did some echo of ancient wisdom, Druidic, survive in Britain from Pre- roman days? |
14587 | Did someone ask:''What shall we name this God- given thing?'' |
14587 | Did they not teach Raja- Yoga in ancient China? |
14587 | Do you remernber how Abraham haggled with the Lord over the Cities of the Plain? |
14587 | Do you see where these leads? |
14587 | Does anyone know what place in history he is to fill? |
14587 | Does it not seem as if that great Far Eastern note could not be struck without this little far western note vibrating in sympathy? |
14587 | Does not this satisfy you? |
14587 | Even Tse Lu was shaken.--"Is it for the Princely Man,"said he,"to suffer the pinch of privation?" |
14587 | Even if Spain should set herself to the Gods''work of union- making, what path should she take towards it? |
14587 | For what had he to do with what followed? |
14587 | Greatly capable in action, saintly in life and ideals: what could Rome ask better? |
14587 | Had that last known, how should he escape being bowed down with grief: then in those years when all his powers and energies were needed? |
14587 | Has Your Highness no mind to acquire such a secret as this?" |
14587 | Have any of you heard of literary savages? |
14587 | Have not our school and its principles a Chinese smack about them? |
14587 | He did n''t see why we Romans should not have our ancient greatness sung in epic; were n''t we as good as Homer''s people, anyhow? |
14587 | He did, I believe;--but why? |
14587 | He looked at them in blank amazement.--"What is this you are telling me?" |
14587 | He proceeded with the utmost severity against such as betrayed their[ proscribed?] |
14587 | He was an impostor, was he? |
14587 | He went unnoticed; Drusus was the pet of all; under such conditions how much harmony as a rule exists between two brothers? |
14587 | Heavy- hearted, Tse Kung followed him in.--"What makes you so late?" |
14587 | His stables having been burnt, the Master, on his return from court, said:''Is anyone hurt?'' |
14587 | How dare we pretend, because we can do a few things with a piston or a crucible, that we know the limits of natural and spiritual law? |
14587 | How do they loose such fragments of old inspiration? |
14587 | How does he manage it? |
14587 | How much Numa may have given his Romans, who can say? |
14587 | How much merit may I be supposed to have accumulated?" |
14587 | How old? |
14587 | How shall we compare him with those others, his great compeers on the Mountain of Song? |
14587 | How should we dare say that Julius was ambitious, Augustus not? |
14587 | How the devil did Tacitus know? |
14587 | How then about the theory that some life and light remained or was revivable in it in Britain? |
14587 | How then should you get Tao so as to possess it for your own?" |
14587 | How to account for this unsubduability? |
14587 | How would Ts''in Shi Hwangti, barbarian, wild Taoist, and man of swift great action, appear to them? |
14587 | How would he go to work? |
14587 | How would such a prodigy in time appear to his own age? |
14587 | How, pray, are nations brought into being? |
14587 | How, then, did this submersion and obliteration of the Roman soul come to pass? |
14587 | I have a disease; can you cure it, Sir?" |
14587 | I mean, is it not highly probable? |
14587 | I suppose ballot- boxes and referenda and recalls and the like were specified, when it was said_ Of such is the kingdom of Heaven?_... |
14587 | If Greece had not stepped in, myth- making and euhemerizing, who would have saved the day at Lake Regillus? |
14587 | If I do not associate with mankind, with whom shall I associate?" |
14587 | In a thousand years''time, will English be as much a Latin language as French is? |
14587 | In preparation for what? |
14587 | In what sense, then, was he different from the pigs?" |
14587 | In which is the greater sum of energies included? |
14587 | Is Mercury''s caduceus, here too, a symbol of the way evolution is done? |
14587 | Is a new Root- Race developed, not from the one immediately preceding it, but from the one before? |
14587 | Is it a memory of the fate of Lemuria? |
14587 | Is it likely that, while he kept his laws and language, he let his religion go? |
14587 | Is it primitive, or ultimate? |
14587 | Is not some prearrangement suggested,--a_ put- up job,_ as they say: a definite plan formed, and a definite end aimed at? |
14587 | Jan Yu said:--"Shall I do all I am taught?" |
14587 | Kung- hsi Hua said:"Yu asked,''Shall I do all I am taught?'' |
14587 | Let the madman be murdered,--and who shall be called the murderer? |
14587 | Liehtse said:--"Will you explain what you mean by the Theory of Consequents?" |
14587 | May it not have been-- as Sicily was to be-- a mainly European country under Egyptian influence, and a seat of Egyptianized culture? |
14587 | May not Crete have played a like part in ancient times? |
14587 | My principles make no progress: how will it be in the after ages?" |
14587 | Need we be surprised, then, at His Excellency''s remark?" |
14587 | Neither Augustus, nor yet Livia, then, had Agrippa killed; must we credit it to Tiberius? |
14587 | No Dante or Homer? |
14587 | Now how am I to know whether I was then, Chwangtse dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am Chwang?" |
14587 | Now then, is Chinese primitive, or is it an evolution far away and ahead of us? |
14587 | Now what is strength like, and civilization? |
14587 | Now what was the ferment behind this man''s mind;--this barbarian--for so he was-- of tremendous schemes and doings? |
14587 | Now whether you call Tao_ duty,_ or_ silence,_--what should the Man of Tao desire beyond the fulness of it? |
14587 | Now, in what condition does a race gain such qualities? |
14587 | Now, what does it all mean? |
14587 | Now, what may this indicate? |
14587 | Now, what more can we learn about the inner and real Homer? |
14587 | Of what race are we? |
14587 | Oh no, nothing at all: this is Kali- Yuga, and what should be doing? |
14587 | On the other hand, how was any Church eager to burn out heresy and heretics to deal with him? |
14587 | Or Root- race? |
14587 | Or a general to compare with Tse Lu? |
14587 | Or anyone so fitted to be prime minister as Yen Huy? |
14587 | Or did he call in his neighbors at once and annouce it? |
14587 | Or didst thou reach this state by the natural course of old age?'' |
14587 | Or for the passage of the Licinian Rogations, or the high exploits of Terentilius Harsa? |
14587 | Or shall we then take intellectual things somewhat for granted, as having learnt them and passed on to something higher? |
14587 | Or the whole natural order of human evolution? |
14587 | Or was it superstition again? |
14587 | Or-- hath a pleasant little lie or twain served their turn? |
14587 | Perhaps it was in Ireland that the White Adepts of the Fifth made their first stand against the Atlanteans? |
14587 | Persia, better called a kingdom, perhaps, than an empire, commands about forty millions of subjects; as against imperial Rome''s-- who can say? |
14587 | Said Confucius:"What precedent is there for that?" |
14587 | Said Tse Kung( just as you or I would have done):--"Then Shih is the better man?" |
14587 | Said he:--"Which is the most important of the holy doctrines?" |
14587 | Shall we not call him Such a One as only the Gods send? |
14587 | Should they be as these irresponsibles of the comitia? |
14587 | So ended an impulse that began, who knows when? |
14587 | So far it had been a case of Initiate appointing Initiate to succeed him: Augustus, Tiberius;--but whom should Tiberius appoint? |
14587 | So there must be some further value to the tales of the Roman kings; else why are they so much better than the Republican annals? |
14587 | Some queer uncouth Italian nature- spirit gods? |
14587 | Supposing that there were some such scheme of evolution here, as in the world- chain? |
14587 | Supposing the Octave_ West Asia_ were under the fingers of the Great Player, would not the corresponding note in Europe vibrate? |
14587 | Supposing the note_ China_ is struck in the Far Eastern Octave; would there not be a vibration of some corresponding note in the octave Europe? |
14587 | That human language is_ one thing;_ and all the differences, the changes rung on that according to the stages of evolution? |
14587 | That they propagate their species freely, as if they were wild? |
14587 | That they roam at large in the park, yet never claw and bite one another? |
14587 | The Master turned to his disciples and said:--"What shall I take up? |
14587 | The comitia vote against it? |
14587 | The final comment on the interview is given by a Japanese writer thus:"Can an elephant associate with rabbits?" |
14587 | The former were Macedon and Syria, or Macedon with Syria in the background; what better could you ask that a good square se- to with these? |
14587 | The war, then, must be finished; and could Rome let it end on terms of a Parthian victory? |
14587 | The_ human_ Soul? |
14587 | Their music is soon drowned in catcalls: What the dickens do we Romans want with such_ footling tootlings?_ Then the presiding magistrate has an idea. |
14587 | Then by whom? |
14587 | Then what would have happened? |
14587 | Then, what was Italy like in the heyday of the Etruscans, or under the Roman kings? |
14587 | They foresaw Wu Taotse and Ma Yuan; they foresaw Ssu- k''ung T''u and the Banished Angel; and asked"Is it not enough?" |
14587 | They had the Kilkenny Catterwauling in their ears daily; would they have allowed to any Pagan times a quieter less dissonant music? |
14587 | This show of ministers, when I have none,--whom will it deceive? |
14587 | Three millenniums ago, how many were the Latins? |
14587 | Tsai Wo, continues Liehtse, told this story to Confucius.--"Is this so strange to you?" |
14587 | Two millenniums ago, how many were the Anglo- Saxons? |
14587 | Until starvation forced them to disgorge All of their million to thee? |
14587 | Was Pheidias too? |
14587 | Was he a pedant? |
14587 | Was it they in part, who lit up that ancient European cycle of from 2980 to 1480 B. C.? |
14587 | Was it weakness on his part, that he concurred? |
14587 | Was it weakness? |
14587 | Was our man a prig at all? |
14587 | Was the Celtic Empire then, what the roman Empire became in the later time? |
14587 | Was the whole Sassanian period divisible into a day, a night, and a day? |
14587 | Was there, at some time, such a change in his life that it was as if a new Soul had come in to take charge of that impersonal unfailing personality? |
14587 | We can see this now; I wonder did he see it then? |
14587 | Well; and Xerxes carried it on; he too played the great Achaemenid game; did he not send ships to sail round Africa? |
14587 | Well; had ye a name in the world, what would ye do?''" |
14587 | Well; what was Augustus to do, having to keep up human appearances, and suit his action to the probabilities? |
14587 | Were ditectives set to watch him, to spy out the cause of a habit of sleek rotundity that was growing upon him at last visibly? |
14587 | Were my grey hairs reserved for such intolerable disgrace? |
14587 | Were you to look back into Paganism for your Christian millennium, to come not till Christ came again? |
14587 | What can I tell you in the way of literary criticism, to fill out the picture I have attempted to make? |
14587 | What can a stranger like you have to teach me?" |

14587 | What is the meaning of the incessant need we see for reform? |
14587 | What keeps us from seeing the meanings of life? |

14587 | What light, what life, what vigor was there in Rome or Constantinople a century and a half after Alaric or Heraclius? |
14587 | What may we not expect then? |
14587 | What remedy will cure it?" |
14587 | What sculptor''s name is known? |
14587 | What then are_ you?_ That which occupies and adapts itself to the point? |
14587 | What then are_ you?_ That which occupies and adapts itself to the point? |
14587 | What then will happen, unless you have the surest moral training for foundation? |
14587 | What was his sword of strength? |
14587 | What was the Fourth Sub- race? |
14587 | What was the secret of England''s greatness? |
14587 | What were the inner sources of this people''s strength? |
14587 | What will remain of England in the memory of three or four thousand years hence? |
14587 | What would this, or any other country, become, were law, order, the police and every restraining influence made absolutely inefficient? |

14587 | When did he become an Initiate? |
14587 | When modern creeds are gone, to what in literature will men turn for their inspiration? |
14587 | When shall we stop imagining that any possible inventions or discoveries will enable us to circumvent the fundamental laws of Nature? |
14587 | When? |
14587 | Where Roman authority( a more real and valuable thing)? |
14587 | Where and when did this high tradition grow up? |
14587 | Where are you to say that Liehtse''s Confucianism ends, and his Taoism begins? |
14587 | Where did Homer live? |
14587 | Where did he live? |
14587 | Where to find a Soul capable, or who would dare undertake the venture? |
14587 | Where were the Allies in whom he trusted? |
14587 | Where( it would be argued) would then be Roman prestige? |
14587 | Where, you asked, are the great creative energies? |

14587 | Who was_ Ho Basileus, The King_ par excellence? |
14587 | Who were the earliest Italians? |
14587 | Who, then, was Romulus?--Some king''s son from Ruta or Daitya, who came in his lordly Atlantean ships, and builded a city on the Tiber? |
14587 | Who, then, was to transmit his doctrine? |
14587 | Whom should he fear, who had conquered Pompeius Magnus? |
14587 | Whom, then, shall we blame? |
14587 | Why can we not listen, till we hear and apprehend the tune? |
14587 | Why did he allow himself to be dissuaded from the public investigation? |
14587 | Why did he not get a divorce? |
14587 | Why did he talk like that: thus_ reasoning_ about reincarnation, and not stating it as a positive teaching? |
14587 | Why do you not come, Sir, and pay me a visit?''" |
14587 | Why not, then, count as manvantaric doings in West Asia this rise of the Parthians to power? |

14587 | Would burning it be altogether an evil? |
14587 | Would not Your Highness care to know that secret?" |
14587 | Would you like to hear about death?'' |
14587 | You go through everything; see him under all sorts of circumstances; and ask at last:"Is this all?" |
14587 | You have seen? |
14587 | You must have killed the deer yourself, since you have it there; but where is your fuel- gatherer?" |
14587 | _ Anax andron Agamemnon_--what Greek could hear a man so spoken of, and dream he compounded of common clay? |
