    SlHr 10.445 1 [Samuel Hoar's] ability lay in the clear apprehension and the powerful statement of the material points of his case. He soon possessed it, and he never possessed it better...
    SlHr 10.447 5 [Samuel Hoar] never shrunk from a disagreeable duty.
    Thor 10.452 2 After completing his experiments [on lead-pencils], [Thoreau] exhibited his work to chemists and artists in Boston, and having obtained their certificates to its excellence...he returned home contented. His friends congratulated him that he had now opened his way to fortune. But he replied that he should never make another pencil.
    Thor 10.452 7 [Thoreau] resumed his endless walks and miscellaneous studies...though as yet never speaking of zoology or botany...
    Thor 10.452 22 ...it required rare decision to...keep [Thoreau's] solitary freedom at the cost of disappointing the natural expectations of his family and friends: all the more difficult that he...was exact in securing his own independence, and in holding every man to the like duty. But Thoreau never faltered.
    Thor 10.453 2 Never idle or self-indulgent, [Thoreau] preferred, when he wanted money, earning it by some piece of manual labor agreeable to him...
    Thor 10.454 7 ...[Thoreau] never married;...

    Thor 10.455 10 [Thoreau]...never had a vice in his life.
    Thor 10.455 14 [Thoreau] said,-I have a faint recollection of pleasure derived from smoking dried lily-stems, before I was a man. I had commonly a supply of these. I have never smoked anything more noxious.
    Thor 10.463 7 [Thoreau!s] trenchant sense was never stopped by his rules of daily prudence...
    Thor 10.463 14 [Thoreau] said,-You can sleep near the railroad, and never be disturbed...
    Thor 10.463 19 [Thoreau] said...Nature knows very well what sounds are worth attending to, and has made up her mind not to hear the railroad-whistle. But things respect the devout mind, and a mental ecstasy was never interrupted.
    Thor 10.465 12 [Thoreau's] own dealing with [young men of sensibility] was never affectionate, but superior...
    Thor 10.468 5 [Thoreau] seemed a little envious of the Pole, for the coincident sunrise and sunset, or five minutes' day after six months, a splendid fact, which Annursnuc had never afforded him.
    Thor 10.470 20 Presently [Thoreau] heard a note which he called that of the night-warbler, a bird he had never identified...
    Thor 10.471 7 ...the meaning of Nature was never attempted to be defined by [Thoreau].
    Thor 10.472 13 ...[Thoreau] would carry you...even to his most prized botanical swamp,-possibly knowing that you could never find it again...
    Thor 10.475 21 ...[Thoreau] have not the poetic temperament, he never lacks the causal thought...
    Thor 10.480 9 ...the blockheads were not born in Concord; but who said they were? It was their unspeakable misfortune to be born in London, or Paris, or Rome; but...they did what they could, considering that they never saw Bateman's Pond...
    Thor 10.481 8 ...[Thoreau]...never willingly walked in the road...
    Carl 10.498 6 [Carlyle] never feared the face of man.
    GSt 10.502 21 [George Stearns] never asked any one to give so much as he himself gave...
    GSt 10.504 21 I have heard...that [George Stearns] was indignant at this or that man's behavior, but never that his anger outlasted for a moment the mischief done or threatened to the good cause...
    GSt 10.506 7 ...this sudden association now with the leaders of parties and persons of pronounced power and influence in the nation...never altered... one trait of [George Stearns's] manners.
    GSt 10.507 1 ...when I consider...that [George Stearns]...was never called to suffer under the decays and loss of his powers...I count him happy among men.
    LS 11.3 5 In the history of the Church no subject has been more fruitful of controversy than the Lord's Supper. There never has been any unanimity in the understanding of its nature...
    LS 11.12 11 These views of the original account of the Lord's Supper lead me to esteem it an occasion full of solemn and prophetic interest, but never intended by Jesus to be the foundation of a perpetual institution.
    LS 11.17 25 I fear it is the effect of this ordinance [the Lord's Supper] to clothe Jesus with an authority which he never claimed...
    LS 11.20 17 ...an importance is given by Christians to [the Lord's Supper] which never can belong to any form.

    LVB 11.92 18 The piety, the principle that is left in the United States... forbid us to entertain [the relocation of the Cherokees] as a fact. Such a dereliction of all faith and virtue, such a denial of justice...were never heard of in times of peace...

    War 11.171 14 [The peace principle] can never be defended, it can never be executed, by cowards.
    War 11.172 8 The attractiveness of war shows one thing...this namely, the conviction of man universally, that...that [a man]...should be himself a kingdom and a state;...really poorer if government, law and order went by the board;...because he...never needs to ask another what in any crisis it behooves him to do.

    FSLC 11.179 16 I have lived all my life in this state [Massachusetts], and never had any experience of personal inconvenience from the laws, until now.
    FSLC 11.179 18 [Massachusetts laws] never came near me to any discomfort before.
    FSLC 11.183 1 [The crisis over the Fugitive Slave Law]...showed...that the resolutions of public bodies, or the pledges never so often given and put on record of public men, will not bind them.
    FSLC 11.183 21 I question the value of our civilization, when I see that the public mind had never less hold of the strongest of all truths.

    FSLC 11.206 7 The South does not like the North...and never did.

    FSLC 11.207 24 Since it is agreed by all sane men of all parties...that slavery is mischievous, why does the South itself never offer the smallest counsel of her own? I have never heard in twenty years any project except Mr. Clay's.
    FSLC 11.208 21 It is really the great task fit for this country to accomplish, to buy that property of the planters, as the British nation bought the West Indian slaves. I say buy,-never conceding the right of the planter to own, but that we may acknowledge the calamity of his position...
    FSLC 11.211 27 The ancient maxim still holds that never was any injustice effected except by the help of justice.
    FSLC 11.212 14 We will never intermeddle with your slavery...

    JBB 11.272 11 If judges cannot find law enough to maintain the sovereignty of the state...it is idle to compliment them as learned and venerable. What avails their learning or veneration? At a pinch, they are no more use than idiots. After the mischance they wring their hands, but they had better never have been born.

    HCom 11.342 23 Many of [our young men] had never handled a gun.

    Wom 11.416 9 ...that Cause [antagonism to Slavery] turned out to be a great scholar. He was a terrible metaphysician. He was a jurist, a poet, a divine. Was never a University of Oxford or Gottingen that made such students.

    CPL 11.496 20 Our founder [of the Concord Library] has found the many admirable examples...of benefactors who have not waited to bequeath colleges and hospitals, but have themselves built them, reminding us of Sir Isaac Newton's saying, that they who give nothing before their death, never in fact give at all.

    MAng1 12.223 7 The love of beauty which never passes beyond outline and color was too slight an object to occupy the powers of [Michelangelo's] genius.

    WSL 12.339 4 Bolivar, Mina and General Jackson will never be greater soldiers than Napoleon and Alexander, let Mr. Landor think as he will;...
    WSL 12.339 27 Before a well-dressed company [Landor] plunges his fingers into a cesspool, as if to expose the whiteness of his hands and the jewels of his ring. Afterward, he washes them in water, he washes them in wine; but you are never secure from his freaks.
    WSL 12.344 26 [Landor] draws with evident pleasure the portrait of a man who never said anything right and never did anything wrong.

    PPr 12.388 8 [Carlyle] has the dignity of a man of letters, who...never deviates from his sphere;...
    PPr 12.388 16 One excellence [Carlyle] has in an age of Mammon and of criticism, that he never suffers the eye of his wonder to close.
    PPr 12.388 21 ...[Carlyle] never wrote one dull line.
    PPr 12.390 22 Carlyle's style is the first emergence of all this wealth and labor with which the world has gone with child so long. London and Europe...and America...have never before been conquered in literature.
    PPr 12.390 27 How like an air-balloon or bird of Jove does [Carlyle] seem to float over the continent, and, stooping here and there, pounce on a fact as a symbol which was never a symbol before.
    PPr 12.391 4 [Carlyle's style] is the first experiment, and something of rudeness and haste must be pardoned to so great an achievement. It will be done again and again, sharper, simpler; but fortunate is he who did it first, though never so giant-like and fabulous.

    Trag 12.415 24 The market-man never damned the lady because she had not paid her bill, but the stout Irishman has to take that once a month. She, however, never feels weakness in her back because of the slave-trade.
