Always, whether in the pulpit or on the platform, as in private conversation, there is an absolute simplicity about the man and his words; a simplicity, an earnestness, a complete honesty. And when he sets down, in his book on oratory, ``A man has no right to use words carelessly,'' he stands for that respect for word-craftsmanship that every successful speaker or writer must feel.英文原著 · 《Acres of Diamonds》
There is a directness in the narration, which captures all those for whom life and literature are something better than psychologic formul. Moreover, the motives which drive the brigand to his doom are brutal in their simplicity, and withal as genuine and sincere as greed, vanity, and lust can make them. The true amateur takes pleasure even in the pious exhortations, because he knows that they crawl into their place, lest the hypocrite be scandalised. But with years the Newgate Calendar also declined, and at last it has followed other dead literatures into the night.英文原著 · 《A Book of Scoundrels》

That word, however, is scarcely in place; I only mean that M. Dubois has made a vi- sible effort, which has been most fruitful.

After that, I only hope that Giuseppe Garibaldi may have a monument as fair.英文原著 · 《A Little Tour In France》

The costumes and customs of a hundred peasantries are there to prove that such ugliness does not necessarily follow from mere poverty, or mere democracy, or mere unlettered simplicity of mind.英文原著 · 《A Miscellany of Men》
"Educate her! I only hope she will help me to unlearn some of the things I know. I never saw such simplicity. It is antique!"英文原著 · 《A Mountain Woman》
