Mrs. Browning, usually a better spokesman for the typical English poet than is Browning himself, likewise conceives it the artist's duty to show us his own nature, to be "greatly _himself always_, which is the hardest thing for a man to be, perhaps." ❋ Elizabeth Atkins (N/A)

He was deeply superstitious, and while he could and did change the bottles and place the poison within his cousin's reach, while he placed the rusty pin in the crutch where it would inflict a wound on Zaidos 'body, while he could plan endlessly to rid himself of his cousin, he would not _himself_ directly aim the blow or fire the deadly shot. ❋ James Fiske (N/A)

"_No man liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself_." ❋ Julia Seton (N/A)

[The sense is clearly _draw himself out, release himself_; but K.B. and Speght throw no light on the word.] ❋ Thomas Chatterton (N/A)

He could not realize how true to _himself_ he had been that afternoon, or how truly the impulse that had prompted him to deny his calling was an instinct of his own strong manhood -- the instinct to be accepted or rejected for what he was within himself, rather than for the mere accident of his calling and position in life. ❋ Harold Bell Wright (1908)

Hence the importance of knowing himself, and hence the definition of philosophy as a man's _knowledge of himself_. ❋ Isaac Husik (1907)

Shakespeare himself originally wrote the first part more at length, and made the murder of Duncan come in the Third Act, and then _himself_ reduced his matter so as to bring the murder back to its present place, perceiving in a flash of genius the extraordinary effect that might thus be produced. ❋ Unknown (1893)

But the man to whom art is a passion, to whom nothing else is comparatively of any value, who has plunged himself in his art, has dedicated to it his days and his nights, has sacrificed to it every power of his being and every energy of his mind and body, this man has indeed _lost himself_. ❋ Robert Hugh Benson (1892)

At the first great Initiation the Christ is born in the disciple; it is then that he realises for the first time _in himself_ the outpouring of the divine Love, and experiences that marvellous change which makes him feel himself to be one with all that lives. ❋ Annie Wood Besant (1890)

_He only is truly himself who has nature in him_, _when the old shell is cracked_, _to build up a new one about him out of the pith and substance of himself_. ❋ John Huntley Skrine (1885)

It is not, let him cut himself off from this thing or that thing, but let him _deny himself_; literally, let him _say that self is not_, and that the will of Christ is ❋ Marvin Richardson Vincent (1878)

Bishop of the Church, — one, therefore, whose history, date, place, are all more or less matter of notoriety, — gives us his written assurance that the passage in question was found in that copy of the Gospels which he was accustomed himself to employ; _the uncial codex_, (it has long since perished) _which belonged to himself_ or to the Church which he served. ❋ John William Burgon (1850)
