His power of self renunciation is one which in Slavophilic thought gives him true liberty.

Slavophilism declares that Russia has the only true freedom, faith and ...

It is in the strength of purpose, in the power of rapid decision, of instant action, and, if need be, of strenuous endurance through a period of danger or of responsibility, when the terrifying alternatives of war are vibrating in the balance, that the power of a great captain mainly lies. It is in the courage to apply knowledge under conditions ...

... suppliant for protection. Good is it that we are not what we seem to ourselves "in our hours of ease," for then we should never seek the Father! The loss of all that the world counts first things is a thousandfold repaid in the mere waking to higher need. It proves the presence of the divine in the lower good, that its loss is so potent.

There is at present greater intercourse among even remote nations; and prejudices, which formerly operated as an almost insurmountable barrier, are now either entirely destroyed, or greatly weakened: in proof of this, we need only refer to the numerous travellers who have lately visited Egypt,—a country which it would have been extremely dangerous to visit half a century ago.

The tar washed from the gas contains a lot of valuable products. And potash can be leached out ...

He asks that they may be forgiven. But where there is absolutely no sin there is no need of forgiveness.
