nor even publish the achievements

— from A Room with a View by E. M. (Edward Morgan) Forster

not exactly probable that all
Some plausibility, it is true, this argument possesses, but it is contradicted by the facts of the Arts and Sciences; for all these, though aiming at some good, and seeking that which is deficient, yet pretermit the knowledge of it: now it is not exactly probable that all artisans without exception should be ignorant of so great a help as this would be, and not even look after it; neither is it easy to see wherein a weaver or a carpenter will be profited in respect of his craft by knowing the very-good, or how a man will be the more apt to effect cures or to command an army for having seen the [Greek: idea] itself.
— from The Ethics of Aristotle by Aristotle

no encouraging precedents to augur
The scheme was not new, and there were no encouraging precedents to augur its success.

no English person that Althea
The fact that she was English—she spoke to the waiter absent-mindedly in that tongue—did not make her less different, for she was like no English person that Althea had ever seen.

We agree that a majority shall rule, but nobody ever pretended that a question of taste could be settled by an appeal 301 to majorities, or that a question of logic could be affected by numbers.

no epoch point to a

night elucubrations preferable to all
