trained to beg, until they
shall be old enough to rob.
ET18 5.302 14 We cannot go deep enough into the
biography of the spirit
who never throws himself entire into one hero...
ET19 5.309 9 In looking over recently a
newspaper-report of my remarks [at the Manchester Atheneaum Banquet], I
incline to reprint it, as fitly
expressing the feeling with which I entered England, and which agrees
well
enough with the more deliberate results of better acquaintance recorded
in
the foregoing pages.
F 6.15 9 Nature is the tyrannous circumstance...the
conditions of a tool, like
the locomotive, strong enough on its track, but which can do nothing
but
mischief off of it;...
F 6.17 6 It is a rule that the most casual and
extraordinary events, if the
basis of population is broad enough, become matter of fixed
calculation.
F 6.36 22 This knot of nature is so well tied that
nobody was ever cunning
enough to find the two ends.

end.
Wsp 6.222 14 ...after a little experience [the
countryman] makes the
discovery that there are no large cities,--none large enough to hide
in;...

friendship.

himself.
SS 7.8 7 I have seen many a philosopher whose world is
large enough for
only one person.
SS 7.13 18 So many men whom I know are degraded by
their sympathies; their native aims being high enough, but their
relation all too tender to the
gross people about them.
Civ 7.27 26 We had letters to send: couriers could not
go fast enough nor
far enough;...
Elo1 7.77 10 Face to face with a highwayman...can you
bring yourself off
safe by your wit exercised through speech?--a problem easy enough to
Caesar or Napoleon.
Elo1 7.87 24 The parts [in the court-room trial] were
so well cast and
discriminated that it was an interesting game to watch. The government
was
well enough represented.
Elo1 7.88 2 The judge [in the court-room trial] had a
task beyond his
preparation, yet his position remained real: he was there to represent
a great
reality,--the justice of states, which we could well enough see
beetling over
his head...
DL 7.108 15 The physiognomy and phrenology of to-day
are rash and
mechanical systems enough...
Farm 7.147 18 [The tree] did not grow on a ridge, but
in a basin, where it
found deep soil, cold enough and dry enough for the pine;...

a letter of introduction to Dr. Dalton of Manchester, England...and was
coolly enough received by the doctor in the laboratory where he was
engaged.
Clbs 7.242 6 I have known persons of rare ability who
were heavy
company to good social men who knew well enough how to draw out
others of retiring habit;...
Cour 7.264 3 The forest on fire looks discouraging
enough to a citizen...
Suc 7.294 1 ...Fulton knocked at the door of Napoleon
with steam, and was
rejected; and Napoleon lived long enough to know that he had excluded a
greater power than his own.
Suc 7.310 14 Despondency comes readily enough to the
most sanguine.
Suc 7.310 19 Despondency comes readily enough to the
most sanguine. The cynic has only to follow their hint with his bitter
confirmation, and

themselves
quickly enough give the hint he wants to the cold wretch.
OA 7.320 17 Life is well enough...

Horace...but have
searched all probable and improbable books for it in vain. We consult
the
reading men: but, strangely enough, they who know everything know not
this.

fourscore,--long
enough to read everything that was worth reading...

takes place in them between fall and spring;...

entered the Senate he
became in a short time intimate with one of his colleagues, and, though
attentive enough to the routine of public duty, they daily returned to

other...
Dem1 10.10 18 Things are significant enough, Heaven
knows;...
Dem1 10.21 2 ...the fabled ring of Gyges...is simply
mischievous. A new or
private language...the desired discovery of the guided balloon, are of
this
kind. Tramps are troublesome enough in the city and in the highways,
but
tramps flying through the air...can well be spared.

the blow well enough
if stock should rise or fall...
Aris 10.41 6 An aristocracy is composed of simple and
sincere men for

Aris 10.44 13 I see well enough that when I bring one
man into an estate, he sees vague capabilities...
Aris 10.44 24 If I bring another [man into an estate],
he sees what he
should do with it. He appreciates the...land fit for...pasturage,
wood-lot, cranberry-meadow; but just as easily he...could lay his hand
as readily on
one as on another point in that series which opens the capability to
the last
point. The poet sees wishfully enough the result;...

SovE 10.199 11 It is the sturdiest prejudice in the
public mind that religion
is...a department...to which the tests and judgment men are ready
enough to
show on other things, do not apply.
Prch 10.218 6 I see in those classes and those
persons...who contain the
activity of to-day and the assurance of to-morrow...a clear enough
perception of the inadequacy of the popular religious statement to the
wants
of their heart and intellect...
MoL 10.242 5 [The scholar]...is born one or two
centuries too early for the
rough and sensual population into which he is thrown. But the Heaven

grave objections.

this single will [George Stearns] was worth to the cause ten thousand
ordinary partisans, well-disposed enough, but of feebler and

GSt 10.506 25 ...when I consider that [George Stearns]
lived long enough
to see with his own eyes the salvation of his country...I count him
happy
among men.
LS 11.15 13 In this manner we may see clearly enough
how this ancient
ordinance [the Lord's Supper] got its footing among the early
Christians...
HDC 11.34 1 [The pilgrims'] first temporary

enough.

enough.

and
depart to some land where freedom exists.
JBB 11.271 17 ...the government, the

gave to their own Commodore Paulding, when he was simple enough to
mistake the formal instructions of his government for their real
meaning.

of

HCom 11.344 4 When her blood is up, [Massachusetts] has
a fist big
enough to knock down an empire.
SMC 11.350 16 The town [Concord] has thought fit to
signify its honor for
a few of its sons by raising an obelisk in the square. It is a simple
pile
enough...
SMC 11.356 20 All sorts of men went to the [Civil]
war,-the roughs...men
for whom pleasure was not strong enough, but who wanted pain...
Wom 11.420 27 Those whom you [women] teach, and those

half teach, will fast enough make themselves considered...
SHC 11.436 16 Life is not long enough for art, nor long
enough for
friendship.
Shak1 11.450 7 The student finds the solitariest place
not solitary enough
to read [Shakespeare];...
Shak1 11.453 7 ...there are some men so born to live
well that, in whatever
company they fall,-high or low,-they fit well, and lead it!...I suppose
because they have more humanity than talent, whilst they have quite as
much of the last as any of the company. It would strike you as comic,
if I
should give my own customary examples of this elasticity, though
striking
enough to me.
FRO1 11.478 9 The church is not large enough for the
man;...
FRO2 11.485 11 I think we have disputed long enough
[about religion].
FRep 11.523 17 The people are right-minded enough on
ethical questions...
FRep 11.529 12 The government...knows the leaders of

place.
FRep 11.541 25 Let [men] compete, and success to the
strongest, the wisest

PLT 12.7 13 Seek the literary circles...the men of
splendor, of bon-mots, will they afford me satisfaction? I think you
could not find a club of men
acute and liberal enough in the world.
PLT 12.19 19 So works the poor little blockhead
manikin. He must arrange

to tell
you it, or write it, translate it all clumsily enough into the new
sky-language
he calls thought.
PLT 12.30 12 Echo the leaders and they will fast enough
see that you have
nothing for them.
PLT 12.49 18 The difference is obvious enough in Talent
between the
speed of one man's action above another's.
PLT 12.61 8 Ideal and practical...are never parallel.

that Heaven cannot
enough mortify and snub us...
II 12.84 5 [Men slow in finding their vocation] ripen
too slowly than that

Catawbas and
Isabellas at the eastward, the season is not quite long enough for
them.
Mem 12.94 13 You say the first words of the old song,
and I finish the line
and stanza. But where I have them, or what becomes of them when I am
not
thinking of them...never any man was so sharp-sighted, or could turn
himself inside out quick enough to find.
