God, have given me occasion for thought.
Mrs1 3.135 11 ...by luxuries and ornaments we amuse the
young people...
Nat2 3.175 8 To the poor young poet, thus fabulous is
his picture of
society; he is loyal; he respects the rich;...
Nat2 3.181 26 The men, though young, having tasted the
first drop from the
cup of thought, are already dissipated...
Nat2 3.188 10 Each young and ardent person writes a
diary...
Pol1 3.199 10 Society is an illusion to the young
citizen.
Pol1 3.199 23 Republics abound in young civilians who
believe that the
laws make the city...
Pol1 3.204 21 Society always consists in greatest part
of young and foolish
persons.
NR 3.228 9 Young people admire talents or particular
excellences;...
NER 3.259 9 Some thousands of young men are graduated
at our colleges
in this country every year...
PPh 4.39 17 ...every brisk young man who says in
succession fine things to
each reluctant generation...is some reader of Plato...
PPh 4.46 10 The same weakness and want, on a higher
plane, occurs daily
in the education of ardent young men and women.
PPh 4.66 19 A happier example of the stress laid on
nature [by Plato] is in
the dialogue with the young Theages...
PPh 4.71 13 The young men are prodigiously fond of
[Socrates]...
PPh 4.73 1 ...it is said that to procure the pleasure,
which he loves, of
talking at his ease all day with the most elegant and cultivated young
men, [Socrates] will now and then return to his shop and carve statues,
good or
bad, for sale.
PPh 4.74 10 This hard-headed humorist [Socrates], whose
strange conceits, drollery and bonhommie diverted the young
patricians...turns out...to have a
probity as invincible as his logic...
SwM 4.132 13 The wise people of the Greek race were
accustomed to lead
the most intelligent and virtuous young men...through the Eleusinian
mysteries...
SwM 4.132 18 An ardent and contemplative young
man...might read once
these books of Swedenborg...and then throw them aside for ever.
MoS 4.152 18 After dinner...ideas are...follies of
young men...
MoS 4.153 19 [The men of the senses] hold that Luther
had milk in him... when he advised a young scholar, perplexed with
fore-ordination and free-will, to get well drunk.
MoS 4.158 5 ...shall the young man aim at a leading
part in law, in politics, in trade? It will not be pretended that a
success in either of these kinds is
quite coincident with what is best and inmost in his mind.
MoS 4.179 18 The young spirit pants to enter society.
MoS 4.184 4 ...the incompetency of power is the
universal grief of young
and ardent minds.
NMW 4.242 13 The day of sleepy, selfish policy, ever
narrowing the
means and opportunities of young men, was ended [in France]...
NMW 4.242 19 The old, iron-bound, feudal France was
changed into a
young Ohio or New York;...
NMW 4.253 3 ...the vain attempts of statists to amuse
and deceive him... and the instinct of the young, ardent and active men
every where...make [Napoleon's] history bright and commanding.
NMW 4.256 16 ...these two parties [democrat and
conservative] differ only
as young and old.
NMW 4.256 17 The democrat is a young conservative;...
GoW 4.278 10 [Goethe's Wilhelm Meister is] A very
provoking book to
the curiosity of young men of genius...
GoW 4.290 14 The world is young...
ET1 5.3 19 Like most young men at that time, I was much
indebted to the
men of Edinburgh and of the Edinburgh Review...
ET1 5.4 17 The young scholar fancies it happiness
enough to live with
people who can give an inside to the world;...
ET1 5.24 8 ...[Wordsworth] led me into the enclosure of
his clerk, a young
man to whom he had given this slip of ground...
ET4 5.61 17 The continued draught of the best men in
Norway, Sweden
and Denmark to these piratical expeditions exhausted those countries,
like a
tree which bears much fruit when young...
ET4 5.63 20 Medwin, in the Life of Shelley, relates
that at a military school
they rolled up a young man in a snowball, and left him in his room...
ET4 5.66 20 The anecdote of the handsome captives which
Saint Gregory
found at Rome, A. D. 600, is matched by the testimony of the Norman
chroniclers, five centuries later, who wondered at the beauty and long
flowing hair of the young English captives.
ET4 5.71 21 Their young boiling clerks and lusty
collegians [in England] like the company of horses better than the
company of professors.
ET8 5.128 8 As compared with the Americans, I think
[the English] cheerful and contented. Young people in this country are
much more prone
to melancholy.
ET8 5.131 14 Wellington said of the young coxcombs of
the Life-Guards, delicately brought up, But the puppies fight well;...
ET8 5.132 7 The young [English] men have a rude health
which runs into
peccant humors.
ET8 5.133 7 There are multitudes of rude young English
who have the self-sufficiency
and bluntness of their nation...
ET11 5.191 12 Prostitutes taken from the theatres were
made duchesses, their bastards dukes and earls. The young men sat
uppermost, the old
serious lords were out of favor.
ET11 5.195 17 All advantages given to absolve the young
patrician from
intellectual labor are of course mistaken.
ET12 5.199 20 I saw several faithful, high-minded young
men [at Oxford]...
ET12 5.200 12 It is a curious proof of the English use
and wont...that these
young men [at Oxford] are locked up every night at nine o'clock...
ET12 5.200 17 ...out of twelve hundred young men [at
Oxford]...a duel has
never occurred.
ET12 5.206 1 If a young American...were offered a home,
a table, the
walks and the library in one of these academical palaces [at
Oxford]...he
would dance for joy.
ET12 5.206 7 ...these young men [at Oxford] thus
happily placed, and paid
to read, are impatient of their few checks...
ET12 5.212 26 ...I should as soon think of quarrelling
with the janitor for
not magnifying his office by hostile sallies into the street...as of
quarrelling
with the professors for not admiring the young neologists who pluck the
beards of Euclid and Aristotle...
ET14 5.251 16 ...literary reputations have been
achieved [in England] by
forcible men...who were driven by tastes and modes they found in vogue
into their several careers. So, at this moment, every ambitious young
man
studies geology...
ET15 5.262 4 ...said Lord Mansfield to the Duke of
Northumberland; mark
my words; you and I shall not live to see it, but this young gentleman
(Lord
Eldon) may...but...these newspapers will most assuredly write the dukes
of
Northumberland out of their titles...
ET15 5.267 15 The daily paper [London Times] is the
work...chiefly, it is
said, of young men recently from the University...
ET16 5.282 23 The golden fleece again, of Jason, was
the compass,--a bit
of loadstone, easily supposed to be the only one in the world, and
therefore
naturally awakening the cupidity and ambition of the young heroes of a
maritime nation to join in an expedition to obtain possession of this
wise
stone.
ET19 5.313 18 I see [England] in her old age...young
and still daring to
believe in her power of endurance and expansion.
Pow 6.54 21 The key to the age may be this, or that, or
the other, as the
young orators describe;...
Pow 6.57 15 On the neck of the young man, said Hafiz,
sparkles no gem so
gracious as enterprise.
Pow 6.58 20 ...Shakspeare was theatre-manager and used
the labor of many
young men, as well as the playbooks.
Pow 6.69 7 The young English are fine animals...
Pow 6.75 27 Stick to one business, young man [said
Rothschild].
Pow 6.76 1 Stick to your brewery ([Rothschild] said
this to young Buxton), and you will be the great brewer of London.
Wth 6.92 20 The case of the young lawyer was pitiful to
disgust...but the
determined youth saw in it an aperture to insert his dangerous
wedges...
Wth 6.101 2 Napoleon was fond of telling the story of
the Marseilles
banker who said to his visitor...Young man, you are too young to
understand how masses are formed;...
Wth 6.115 8 [The pale scholar] stoops to pull up a
purslain or a dock that is
choking the young corn, and finds there are two;...
Ctr 6.156 16 ...the wise instructor will press this
point of securing to the
young soul in the disposition of time and the arrangements of living,
periods and habits of solitude.
Bhr 6.173 21 ...these [bad manners] are social
inflictions...which must be
entrusted to the restraining force of...familiar rules of behavior
impressed
on young people in their school-days.
Bhr 6.197 16 What finest hands would not be clumsy to
sketch the genial
precepts of the young girl's demeanor?
Wsp 6.207 6 [Dido] was so fair,/ So young, so lusty,
with her eyen glad,/ That if that God that heaven and earthe made/
Would have a love for beauty
and goodness,/ And womanhede, truth, and seemliness,/ Whom should he
loven but this lady sweet?/ There n' is no woman to him half so meet./
Wsp 6.222 11 In a new nation and language, [the
countryman's] sect...is
lost. ... This is the peril of New York...to young men.
Wsp 6.227 11 Young people admire talents and particular
excellences.
Wsp 6.228 13 ...Philip [Neri] stretched out his leg,
all bespattered with
mud, and desired [the nun] to draw off his boots. The young nun...drew
back with anger...
CbW 6.267 25 The young people do not like the town, do
not like the sea-shore...
Bty 6.289 25 In the true mythology Love is an immortal
child, and Beauty
leads him as a guide: nor can we express a deeper sense than when we
say, Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Ill 6.307 9 House you were born in,/ Friends of your
spring-time,/ Old man
and young maid,/ Day's toil and its guerdon, /They are all vanishing, /
Fleeing to fables,/ Cannot be moored./
Ill 6.315 17 [The boys'] young life is thatched with
[enchantments].
Ill 6.325 9 The young mortal enters the hall of the
firmament; there is he
alone with [the gods] alone...
SS 7.10 21 When a young barrister said to the late Mr.
Mason, I keep my
chamber to read law,--Read law! replied the veteran, 't is in the
court-room
you must read law.
SS 7.12 2 A backwoodsman...told me that when he heard
the best-bred
young men at the law-school talk together, he reckoned himself a boor;
but
whenever he caught them apart, and had one to himself alone, then they
were the boors and he the better man.
SS 7.15 3 What to do with these brisk young men who
break through all
fences...
Elo1 7.63 17 Who can wonder at the
attractiveness...of...the bar, for our
ambitious young men...
Elo1 7.63 24 The definitions of eloquence describe its
attraction for young
men.
Elo1 7.64 23 Young men...are eager to enjoy this sense
of added power [of
eloquence]...
Elo1 7.70 20 Scheherezade tells these stories [in the
Arabian Nights] to
save her life, and the delight of young Europe and young America in
them
proves that she fairly earned it.
Elo1 7.78 11 Julius Caesar said to Metellus, when that
tribune interfered to
hinder him from entering the Roman treasury, Young man, it is easier
for
me to put you to death than to say that I will;...

and speedier
modes of transportation.
DL 7.106 25 ...Pilgrim's Progress...what a wardrobe to
dress the whole
world withal, are in this encyclopaedia of young thinking!
DL 7.110 5 Do not ask [the scholar] to help with his
savings young
drapers...
Farm 7.154 1 That uncorrupted behavior which we admire
in animals and
in young children belongs to [the farmer]...
WD 7.169 6 In college terms, and in years that
followed, the young
graduate, when the Commencement anniversary returned, though he were
in a swamp, would see a festive light...
Boks 7.195 12 There has already been a scrutiny and
choice from many
hundreds of young pens before the pamphlet or political chapter which
you
read in a fugitive journal comes to your eye.
Boks 7.195 15 There has already been a scrutiny and
choice from many
hundreds of young pens before the pamphlet or political chapter which
you

adventurers...
Boks 7.199 4 Why should not young men be educated on
this book [Plato]?
Boks 7.214 25 So much novel-reading cannot leave the
young men and
maidens untouched;...
Boks 7.215 8 ...I often see traces of the Scotch or the
French novel in the
courtesy and brilliancy of young midshipmen, collegians and clerks.
Boks 7.220 16 ...it would be well for sincere young men
to borrow a hint
from the French Institute and the British Association...

OA 7.316 26 Nature...now puts an old head on young

the young people, we could not know that the century-clock had struck
seventy instead of twenty.
OA 7.321 17 We have, it is true, examples of an
accelerated pace by which
young men achieved grand works;...
OA 7.325 3 ...these temporary stays and shifts for the
protection of the
young animal are shed as fast as they can be replaced by nobler
resources.
OA 7.328 14 The Indian Red Jacket, when the young

young, that things may
obey him.
PI 8.47 3 Young people like rhyme, drum-beat, tune...
SA 8.80 10 The staple figure in novels is the man...who
sits, among the
young aspirants and desperates, quite sure and compact...
SA 8.81 22 Who teaches manners...of grace, of
humility,--who but the
adoring aunts and cousins that surround a young child?
SA 8.83 24 There is the same difference between heavy

as between the perceptions of octogenarians and those of young girls
who
see everything in the twinkling of an eye.
SA 8.85 1 There is even a little rule of prudence for
the young experimenter
which Dr. Franklin omitted to set down...

SA 8.100 21 There is in America a general conviction in
the minds of all

QO 8.183 10 Thirty years ago, when Mr. Webster at the

Senate filled the eyes and minds of young men, you might often hear
cited

defer
till to-morrow;...
QO 8.196 19 ...many men can write better under a mask
than for
themselves; as...I doubt not, many a young barrister in chambers in
London...
PC 8.232 25 We have suffered our young men of ambition
to play the game
of politics and take the immoral side without loss of caste...
PPo 8.239 17 When the bard improvised an amatory ditty,
the young [Bedouin] chief's excitement was almost beyond control.
PPo 8.244 25 [Hafiz] says to the Shah, Thou who rulest
after words and
thoughts which no ear has heard and no mind has thought, abide firm
until
thy young destiny tears off his blue coat from the old graybeard of the
sky.
Insp 8.282 4 Another consideration, though it will not
so much interest
young men, will cheer the heart of older scholars, namely that there is
diurnal and secular rest.

Grts 8.301 13 [Greatness] is the best tonic to the
young soul.

thought and
experience, few young men apprehend.
Grts 8.308 25 ...I think it an essential caution to
young writers, that they
shall not in their discourse leave out the one thing which the
discourse was
written to say. Let that belief which you hold alone, have free course.
Grts 8.319 18 ...a very common [illusion] is the
opinion you hear expressed
in every village:...it happens that there are no fine young men, no
superior
women in my town.
Imtl 8.328 10 The emphasis of all the good books given
to young people [sixty years ago] was on death.
Imtl 8.329 11 A man of affairs is afraid to
die...because he...is the victim of
those who have moulded the religious doctrines into some neat and
plausible system...for household use. It is the fear of the young bird
to trust
its wings.
Imtl 8.330 16 I was lately told of young children who
feel a certain terror at
the assurance of life without end.
Dem1 10.15 27 I have a lucky hand, sir, said
Napoleon...those on whom I
lay it are fit for anything. This faith is familiar in one form...that
children

dangerous to wiser people.
Dem1 10.16 6 The young man takes a leap in the dark and
alights safe.
Aris 10.31 14 ...the cogent motive with the best young
men who are
revolving plans and forming resolutions for the future, is the spirit
of
honor...
Aris 10.35 3 The young adventurer finds that the
relations of society...irk
and sting him...
Aris 10.50 8 When old writers are consulted by young
writers who have
written their first book, they say, Publish it by all means; so only
can you
certainly know its quality.
Aris 10.58 7 Prosperity and pound-cake are for very
young gentlemen, whom such things content;...
Aris 10.59 14 ...I hear the complaint of the aspirant

offered to the ambition of virtuous young men;...
PerF 10.80 24 I knew a stupid young farmer, churlish,
living only for his
gains...
Edc1 10.128 7 Here is a world...fenced and planted with
civil partitions and
properties, which all put new restraints on the young inhabitant.
Edc1 10.136 15 The old man thinks the young man has no
distinct
purpose...
Edc1 10.136 18 The old man thinks the young man has no
distinct purpose, for he could never get anything intelligible and
earnest out of him. Perhaps
the young man does not think it worth his while to explain himself to
so
hard and inapprehensive a confessor.
Edc1 10.137 27 I suffer whenever I see that common
sight of a parent or
senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young
soul...

hunting-tramp, tells his
story well...

pure vigor of action
and wealth of narrative...should be carried into the habit of the young
man...
Edc1 10.143 1 Do not spare to put novels into the hands
of young people as
an occasional holiday and experiment;...
Edc1 10.144 1 ...I hear the outcry which replies to
this suggestion...would
you leave the young child to the mad career of his own passions and
whimsies...
Edc1 10.144 27 This is the perpetual romance of new
life, the invasion of
God into the old dead world, when he sends into quiet houses a young
soul
with a thought which is not met...
Edc1 10.149 12 See how far a young doctor will ride or
walk to witness a
new surgical operation.
Edc1 10.149 16 ...in literature,the young man who has
taste for poetry...is
insatiable for this nourishment...
Edc1 10.149 23 Happy the natural college thus
self-instituted around every
natural teacher; the young men of Athens around Socrates;...
Edc1 10.150 3 ...every young man is born with some
determination in his
nature...
Edc1 10.151 19 Is it not manifest...that...children
should be treated as the
high-born candidates of truth and virtue? So to regard the young child,
the
young man, requires, no doubt, a rare patience...
Edc1 10.152 11 It is difficult to class [pupils], some
are too young, some
are slow, some perverse.
Edc1 10.153 5 ...[the teacher] cannot delight in
personal relations with
young friends, when his eye is always on the clock...
Edc1 10.157 23 Set this law up, whatever becomes of the
rules of the
school: [the pupils] must not whisper, much less talk; but if one of
the
young people says a wise thing, greet it...
Supl 10.166 15 I hear without sympathy the complaint of
young and ardent
persons that they find life no region of romance...
Prch 10.230 17 The simple fact...that all over this
country the people are
waiting to hear a sermon on Sunday, assures that opportunity which is
inestimable to young men, students of theology, for those large
liberties.
Prch 10.230 27 There are always plenty of young,
ignorant people... wanting peremptorily instruction;...
Prch 10.233 15 ...if I had to counsel a young preacher,
I should say: When
there is any difference felt between the foot-board of the pulpit and
the
floor of the parlor, you have not yet said that which you should say.
Prch 10.234 13 The supposed embarrassments to young
clergymen exist
only to feeble wills.
MoL 10.257 16 We do not often have a moment of grandeur
in these
hurried, slipshod lives, but the behavior of the young men [in the war]
has
taught us much.
Schr 10.267 3 Young men, I warn you against the clamors
of these self-praising
frivolous activities,-against these busy-bodies;...
Schr 10.269 27 What the Genius whispered [the poet] at
night he reported
to the young men at dawn.
Schr 10.276 20 How many young geniuses we have known,
and none but
ourselves will ever hear of them for want in them of a little talent!
Schr 10.280 23 The objection of men of the world to
what they call the
morbid intellectual tendency in our young men at present, is...that the
idealistic views unfit their children for business in their sense...
Schr 10.286 22 I think much may be said to discourage
and dissuade the
young scholar from his career.
Plu 10.314 16 ...Walter Scott took hold of boys and
young men, in England
and America, and through them of their fathers.
Plu 10.322 4 It is a service to our Republic to publish
a book that can force
ambitious young men...to read the Laconic Apothegms [of Plutarch]...
LLNE 10.329 24 The young men were born with knives in
their brain...
LLNE 10.330 27 There was an influence on the young
people from the
genius of Everett which was almost comparable to that of Pericles in
Athens.
LLNE 10.332 2 ...all [Everett's] learning was available
for purposes of the
hour. It was all new learning, that wonderfully took and stimulated the
young men.
LLNE 10.334 3 ...every young scholar could recite
brilliant sentences from [Everett's] sermons...
LLNE 10.345 16 [The pilgrim]...explained with simple
warmth the belief
of himself and five or six young men with whom he agreed in opinion, of
the vast mischief of our insidious coin.
LLNE 10.361 1 There was no doubt great variety of
character and purpose
in the members of the community [Brook Farm]. It consisted in the main

young people...
LLNE 10.361 14 ...there was immense hope in these young
people [at
Brook Farm].
LLNE 10.361 17 The young people [at Brook Farm] lived a
great deal in a
short time...
LLNE 10.367 15 Don't you see, [Fourier] cried, that
nothing so delights
the young Caucasian child as dirt?
LLNE 10.369 4 [Brook Farm] was a close union...of
clergymen, young
collegians, merchants, mechanics, farmers' sons and daughters...
EzRy 10.386 23 Some of those around me will remember
one occasion of
severe drought in this vicinity, when the late Rev. Mr. Goodwin offered
to
relieve the Doctor [Ezra Ripley] of the duty of leading in prayer; but
the
Doctor...ejected his offer with some humor, as with an air that said to
all the
congregation, This is no time for you young Cambridge men; the affair,
sir, is getting serious. I will pray myself.
MMEm 10.400 23 Later, another aunt [of Mary Moody
Emerson], who had
become insane, was brought hither [to Malden] to end her days. More and
sadder work for this young girl.
MMEm 10.401 2 [Mary Moody Emerson's] mother had married
again... and had now a young family growing up around her.
MMEm 10.402 8 [Mary Moody Emerson's] sympathy for young

SlHr 10.447 17 [Samuel Hoar] was a model of those

suppose, is
an optical illusion, as there is...always a few young men to whom these
manners are native.
Thor 10.456 20 ...[Thoreau]...threw himself heartily

Thor 10.457 8 ...a young girl, understanding that

at the Lyceum, sharply asked him, Whether his lecture would be a nice,
interesting story...
Thor 10.465 8 I have repeatedly known young men of

Thor 10.477 13 Now chiefly is my natal hour,/ And only

SMC 11.357 17 At a halt in the march, a few of our boys

Faust, he replied, What can I know of this? I ought rather to ask you,

CInt 12.124 2 ...the very highest advantage which a

CInt 12.124 19 The necessity of a mechanical system [of

CL 12.146 19 I know a whole district...where the
apple-trees strive with

into the country, plant young trees, and watch them dwindling.
CL 12.147 22 ...I recommend [a walk in the woods] to
people who are

in the animals, and in young children, belongs also to...the man who
lives in the presence

Bost 12.196 4 The universality of an elementary
education in New England

Bost 12.196 5 ...the young farmers and
