anywhither (not comparable)

    • 1843, Thomas Carlyle, Past and Present, book 4, chapter III, The One Institution:
      Clearly enough, if the Chiefs be not self-motive and what we call men, but mere patient lay-figures without self-motive principle, the Government will not move anywhither; it will tumble disastrously, and jumble, round its own axis, as for many years past we have seen it do.
