eness may be forced upon one." "Laziness is aversion
to activity; idleness is simply the state of inactivity."
"Laziness is idleness from choice or preference; idleness means
doing nothing."

The essential contrast, accordingly, is that _laziness refers to
unwillingness to work; idleness to the mere fact of inactivity_.
This contrast must be expressed, however clumsily.

(b) _Evolution and revolution._ "Evolution is a gradual
change; revolution is a sudden change." "Evolution is natural
development; revolution is sudden upheaval." "Evolution means an
unfolding or development; revolution means a complete upsetting
of everything." "Evolution is the gradual development of a
country or government; revolution is a quick change of

revolution is caused by an outside force." "Evolution is growth;
revolution is a quick change from existing conditions."
"Evolution is a natural change; revolution is a violent
change." "Evolution is growth step by step; revolution is more
sudden and radical in its action." "Evolution is a change
brought about by peaceful development, while revolution is
brought about by an uprising."

The essential distinction, accordingly, is that _evolution means
a gradual, natural, or slow change, while revolution means a
sudden, forced, or violent change_. Non-contrasting definitions,
even when the individual terms are defined correctly, are not
satisfactory.

(c) _Poverty and misery._ "Poverty is when you are poor;
misery means suffering." "Only the poor are in poverty, but
everybody can be miserable." "Poverty is the lowest stage of
poorness; misery means pain." "The poor are not always
miserable, and the rich are miserable sometimes." "Poverty means
to be in want; misery comes from any kind of suffering or
anguish." "The poor are in poverty; the sick are in misery."
"Poverty is the condition of being very poor financially; misery
is a feeling which any class of people can have." "One who is
poor is in poverty; one who is wretched or doesn't enjoy life is
in misery." "Poverty comes from lack of money; misery, from lack
of happiness or comfort." "Misery means distress. It can come
from poverty or many other things."

(d) _Character and reputation._ "Character is what you are;
reputation is
