inform
A fiery soul, which, working out its way.
Fretted the pygmy-body to decay,
And o'er-inform'd the tenement of clay. [ John Dryden ]
+{Instruction} Seek to, delight, that they may mend mankind.
And, while they captivate, inform the mind. [ Cowper ]
Rather to excite your judgment briefly than to inform it tediously. [ Bacon ]
Romances, in general, are calculated rather to fire the imagination than to inform the judgment. [ Richardson ]
Post or Inform? The misuse of post for inform in such sentences as, I will post you about it,
is as inelegant as it is inaccurate. [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]
Nature does not capriciously scatter her secrets as golden gifts to lazy pets and luxurious darlings, but imposes tasks when she presents opportunities, and uplifts him whom she would inform. The apple that she drops at the feet of Newton is but a coy invitation to follow her to the stars. [ Whipple ]
Addison acknowledged that he would rather inform than divert his reader; but he recollected that a man must be familiar with wisdom before he willingly enters on Seneca and Epictetus. Fiction allures him to the severe task by a gayer preface. Embellished truths are the illuminated alphabet of larger children. [ Willmott ]
Metaphysicians have been learning their lessons for the last four thousand years, and it is high time that they should now begin to teach us something. Can any of the tribe inform us why all the operations of the mind are carried on with undiminished strength and activity in dreams, except the judgment, which alone is suspended and dormant? [ Colton ]
