matter (adv.)
How great a matter a little fire kindleth!
When Bishop Berkeley said "there was no matter,"
And proved it,—'t was no matter what he said.
Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
More matter for a May morning.
So our lives
In acts exemplary, not only win
Ourselves good names, but doth to others give
Matter for virtuous deeds, by which we live.
Better be ignorant of a matter than half know it.
He that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
The leader, mingling with the vulgar host,
Is in the common mass of matter lost.
Thy honesty and love doth mince this matter.
Thy honesty and love doth mince this matter.
I was so free with him as not to mince the matter.
Mince the matter.
The phrase would be more german to the matter, if we could carry cannon by our sides.
More matter, with less art.
When Bishop Berkeley said "there was no matter,"
And proved it,—'t was no matter what he said.
Seeing the root of the matter is found in me.
They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it. . . . Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.
When Bishop Berkeley said "there was no matter,"
And proved it,—'t was no matter what he said.
I will make a Star-chamber matter of it.
Bring me to the test,
And I the matter will re-word; which madness
Would gambol from. Mother, for love of grace,
Lay not that flattering unction to your soul.
I'm weary of conjectures,—this must end 'em.
Thus am I doubly armed: my death and life,
My bane and antidote, are both before me:
This in a moment brings me to an end;
But this informs me I shall never die.
The soul, secured in her existence, smiles
At the drawn dagger, and defies its point.
The stars shall fade away, the sun himself
Grow dim with age, and Nature sink in years;
But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth,
Unhurt amidst the war of elements,
The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.
