...Utilitarianism." Is far-sightedness any the less sight than near-sightedness? If you mean by "prudence" near-sightedness, then we do not claim for it the meaning of far-sightedness, nor indeed do we desire to have anything to do with it. But I am convinced that not even political economy is content to accept prudence of this sort as an attribute. Again, to cap the climax, "There are no two characters more unlike than the heroic man and the prudent man." Do you hear this, students of political economy? You are not Christians. There are no germs of heroism...
...genius, and one of the greatest orators and statesmen this country ever produced. I should like to see a mugwump who could write a book as Mr. Blaine did, and sell half a million copies in three years. They couldn't do it among them, even if every mugwump turned book-agent.

In spite of this fact the third round...
...with several sharp rallies. The second round was a marked contrast. The instant time was called the fighting began. Clement led and was countered by Grew's right. Clement got in a number of blows; those of Grew were mostly swinging rights and went hard. The rounds were very even. Clement forced the fighting at the beginning of the third round. The work tired him, and then came Grew's turn. In the two previous rounds he had done most of the sparring with his right; in this round he did some very pretty work with his left. Clement suddenly...
