There are, of course, many other instances; for modern society is almost made up of these large monochrome patches. Thus I, for one, regret the supersession of the old Puritan unity, founded on theology, but embracing all types from Milton to the grocer, by that newer Puritan unity which is founded rather on certain social habits, certain common notions, both permissive and prohibitive, in connection with Particular social pleasures.英文原著 · 《A Miscellany of Men》
It was, on the whole, an age of unity. It was the chief aim of Owen Gwynedd to be the ally of the Lord Rees; and in this he succeeded, though his brother Cadwaladr, in his desire for Ceredigion, had killed Rees' brother, to Owen's infinite sorrow. The princes of Powys, Madoc and Owen Cyveiliog, were in the same alliance also, and they were helped in their struggle with the Normans. Unity was never more necessary. Henry II. brought great armies into Wales. Once he came along the north coast to Rhuddlan. At another time he tried to cross the Berwyn, but was beaten back by great storms.英文原著 · 《A Short History of Wales》
So much for the lives and individual characteristics of the Cambridge Platonists: what were the great principles that animated both their lives and their philosophy?

Unity I know some will have to be a simple or uncompounded idea, accompanying all other ideas into the mind. That I have any such idea answering the word unity I do not find; and if I had, methinks I could not miss finding it: on the contrary, it should be the most familiar to my understanding, since it is said to accompany all other ideas, and to be perceived by all the ways of sensation and reflexion. To say no more, it is an abstract idea.英文原著 · 《Principles of Human Knowledge》
Nothing, if it be thus immediate and equal to itself, is also conversely the same as
Being is. The truth of Being and of Nothing is accordingly the unity of the two:
and this unity is Becoming.英文原著 · 《Shorter Logic》
The teleological relation is a syllogism in which the subjective end coalesces with
the objectivity external to it, through a middle term which is the unity of both. This unity is on one hand the purposive action, on the other the Means, i.e. objectivity made directly subservient to purpose.英文原著 · 《Shorter Logic》
Think of the headline: "Democrat Leadership Enacts Entitlement Reform, Staves Off Freeze." We show unity. We offer progress.美剧 · 《House of Cards》
Well, all I can say at this time, that the most important thing is unity... and the public's faith in the institution of democracy.美剧 · 《House of Cards》
