moralizing wolf Explanation: The Egoist wastes no breath to persuade the fanatic that the end would not justify the means. He knows that the wish was father to the thought. The doctrine of exceptional justification was the inevitable excuse, like the wolf’s brief remarks to the lamb at the stream.

A French lady, who sat opposite to him, said, in an under tone, but sufficiantiy only the Union, which our fathers made. loud to be heard by Seward, "loupmoraliite."

What will be his sensations when told that the French lady called him "a moralizing wolf?" http://www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook_text/The_Old_Guard_10... |
