What we now call school training the pursuit of fixed studies at stated hours under the constant guidance of a teacher I could scarcely be said to have enjoyed.

A body of work such as Pasteur's is inconceivable in our time: no man would be given a chance to create a whole science. Nowadays a path is scarcely opened up when the crowd begins to pour in.

Sorrows are like thunderclouds in the distance they look black over our heads scarcely gray.

Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it.
