SovE 10.188 23 The wars which make history so dreary
have served the cause of truth and virtue. There is always an
instinctive sense of right...
SovE 10.189 4 ...a sublime confidence is fed at the
bottom of the heart that...an eternal, beneficent necessity is always
bringing things right;...
SovE 10.193 3 Secret retributions are always
restoring the level, when disturbed, of Divine justice.
SovE 10.209 1 ...Stoicism, always attractive to the
intellectual and cultivated, has now no temples...
Prch 10.223 14 I find myself always struck and
stimulated by a good anecdote, any trait of heroism...
Prch 10.230 1 The clergy are always in danger of
becoming wards and pensioners of the so-called producing classes.
Prch 10.230 27 There are always plenty of young,
ignorant people... wanting peremptorily instruction;...
Prch 10.234 26 ...though I observe the deafness to
counsel among men, yet the power of sympathy is always great;...
Prch 10.235 5 Great sweetness of temper neutralizes
such vast amounts of acid! As for position, the position is always the
same...
MoL 10.256 26 There is always the previous question,
How came you on that side?
Plu 10.296 3 Montesquieu...in his Pensees, declares,
I am always charmed with Plutarch;...
Plu 10.300 2 ...though Plutarch is as plain-spoken
[as Montaigne], his moral sentiment is always pure.
LLNE 10.325 11 There are always two parties, the
party of the Past and the party of the Future;...
LLNE 10.331 21 Let [Everett] rise to speak on what
occasion soever, a fact had always just transpired which composed, with
some other fact well known to the audience, the most pregnant and happy
coincidence.
LLNE 10.341 19 Margaret Fuller, George Ripley, Dr.
Convers Francis, Theodore Parker, Dr. Hedge, Mr. Brownson, James
Freeman Clarke, William H. Channing and many others...from time to time
spent an afternoon at each other's houses in a serious conversation.
With them was always one well-known form...
LLNE 10.354 18 [The Fourier marriage] was...ignorant
how serious and how moral [women's] nature always is;...
LLNE 10.357 24 ...[the Fourierists] were unconscious
prophets of a true state of society;...one which always establishes
itself for the sane soul...
LLNE 10.361 21 ...a few grave sanitary influences of
character were happily there [at Brook Farm], which, I was assured,
were always felt.
LLNE 10.362 8 Margaret Fuller...was often a guest [at
Brook Farm], and always in correspondence with her friends.
LLNE 10.364 23 Letters were always flying not only
from house to house [at Brook Farm], but from room to room.
LLNE 10.365 27 In practice it is always found that
virtue is occasional, spotty, and not linear or cubic.
EzRy 10.382 4 Always inclined to notice
ministers...[Ezra Ripley] had an ardent desire to be preacher of the
gospel.
EzRy 10.388 9 Right manly [Ezra Ripley] was, and the
manly thing he could always say.
EzRy 10.388 14 [Ezra Ripley] said, on parting, I wish
you and your brothers to come to this house as you have always done.
MMEm 10.400 16 [Mary Moody Emerson's] aunt and her
husband...were getting old, and the husband a shiftless, easy man.
There was...not always bread enough in the house.
MMEm 10.402 14 [Mary Moody Emerson's] early reading
was Milton, Young, Akenside, Samuel Clarke, Jonathan Edwards, and
always the Bible.
MMEm 10.408 14 Our Delphian [Mary Moody
Emerson]...could always be tamed by large and sincere conversation.
MMEm 10.420 16 Do I [Mary Moody Emerson] yearn to be
in Boston? 'T would fatigue, disappoint; I, who have so long despised
means, who have always found it a sort of rebellion to seek them?
MMEm 10.427 27 Oh how weary in youth-more so scarcely
now, not whenever I [Mary Moody Emerson] can breathe, as it seems, the
atmosphere of the Omnipresence: then...honors, pleasures, labors, I
always refuse...
SlHr 10.447 4 [Samuel Hoar] loved the dogmas and the
simple usages of his church; was always an honored and sometimes an
active member.
SlHr 10.447 16 [Samuel Hoar] was a model of those
formal but reverend manners which make what is called a gentleman of
the old school, so called under an impression that the style is passing
away, but which, I suppose, is an optical illusion, as there is always
a few more of the class remaining...
SlHr 10.447 17 [Samuel Hoar] was a model of those
formal but reverend manners which make what is called a gentleman of
the old school, so called under an impression that the style is passing
away, but which, I suppose, is an optical illusion, as there
is...always a few young men to whom these manners are native.
Thor 10.463 4 ...[Thoreau] seemed the only man of
leisure in town, always ready for any excursion that promised well...
Thor 10.467 12 [Thoreau] liked to speak of the
manners of the river...yet with exactness, and always to an observed
fact.
Thor 10.470 22 Presently [Thoreau] heard a note which
he called that of the night-warbler, a bird...which always, when he saw
it, was in the act of diving down into a tree or bush...
Thor 10.476 1 [Thoreau]...liked to throw every
thought into a symbol. The fact you tell is of no value, but only the
impression. For this reason his presence...always piqued the curiosity
to know more deeply the secrets of his mind.
LS 11.4 22 ...so far from the [Lord's] Supper being a
tradition in which men are fully agreed, there has always been the
widest room for difference of opinion upon this particular.
LS 11.24 27 [The pastoral office] has some [duties]
which it will always be my delight to discharge according to my
ability...
HDC 11.47 16 The moderator [of the New England
town-meeting] was the passive mouth-piece, and the vote of the town,
like the vane on the turret overhead...always turned by the last and
strongest breath.
HDC 11.61 18 When the Dutch, or the French, or the
English royalist disagreed with the [Massachusetts Bay] Colony, there
was always found a Dutch, or French, or tory party,-an earnest
minority,-to keep things from extremity.
LVB 11.90 1 The interest always felt in the
aboriginal population...has been heightened in regard to this tribe
[Cherokee].
EWI 11.141 11 On sight of these [African artifacts],
says Clarkson, many sublime thoughts seemed to rush at once into
[William Pitt's] mind, some of which he expressed; and hence appeared
to arise a project which was always dear to him, of the civilization of
Africa...
EWI 11.147 13 There is a blessed necessity by which
the interest of men is always driving them to the right;...
FSLC 11.180 13 ...Boston, whose citizens, intelligent
people in England told me they could always distinguish by their
culture among Americans;... Boston...must bow its ancient honor in the
dust...
FSLC 11.187 5 It is remarkable how rare in the
history of tyrants is an immoral law. Some color, some indirection was
always used.
FSLN 11.220 7 ...when a great man comes who knots up
into himself the opinions and wishes of the people, it is so much
easier to follow him as an exponent of this. He too is responsible;
they will not be. It will always suffice to say,-I followed him.
FSLN 11.225 24 ...in this country one sees that there
is always margin enough in the statute for a liberal judge to read one
way and a servile judge another.
FSLN 11.226 26 [Webster's 7th of March Speech] was
like the doleful speech falsely ascribed to the patriot Brutus: Virtue,
I have followed thee through life, and I find thee but a shadow. Here
was a question of an immoral law; a question agitated for ages, and
settled always in the same way by every great jurist, that an immoral
law cannot be valid.
FSLN 11.236 10 ...our education is...to know...that
divine sentiments which are always soliciting us are breathed into us
from on high...
AsSu 11.248 11 The very conditions of the game must
always be,-the worst life staked against the best.
AKan 11.258 22 That is the theory of the American
State, that it exists to execute the will of the citizens, is always
responsible to them...
AKan 11.258 23 That is the theory of the American
State, that it exists to execute the will of the citizens...and is
always to be changed when it does not.
AKan 11.259 13 I do not know any story so gloomy as
the politics of this country for the last twenty years, centralizing
ever more manifestly round one spring, and that a vast
crime...illustrating the fatal effects of a false position to...put the
best people always at a disadvantage;...
AKan 11.259 13 I do not know any story so gloomy as
the politics of this country for the last twenty years, centralizing
ever more manifestly round one spring, and that a vast crime...one
crime always present...
AKan 11.259 14 I do not know any story so gloomy as
the politics of this country for the last twenty years, centralizing
ever more manifestly round one spring, and that a vast crime...one
crime...always to be varnished over...
AKan 11.260 24 Are there no women in that [Southern]
country,-women, who always carry the conscience of a people?
TPar 11.291 27 ...every sound heart loves a
responsible person, one who... says one thing...always because he
must...
ACiv 11.310 1 ...it is the maxim of history that
victory always falls at last where it ought to fall;...
ACiv 11.311 2 ...it is not yet too late to begin the
emancipation; but we think it will always be too late to make it
gradual.
EPro 11.324 24 ...granting the truth, rightly read,
of the historical aphorism, that the people always conquer, it is to be
noted that, in the Southern States, the tenure of land and the local
laws, with slavery, give the social system not a democratic but an
aristocratic complexion;...
SMC 11.354 17 ...whatever may happen in this hour or
that, the years and the centuries are always pulling down the wrong and
building up the right.
SMC 11.357 21 One of our later volunteers...said, I
go because I shall always be sorry if I did not go when the country
called me.
SMC 11.357 25 One [volunteer] wrote to his father
these words: You may think it strange that I, who have always naturally
rather shrunk from danger, should wish to enter the army;...
SMC 11.359 18 [George Prescott] was...engaged in
common duties, but equal always to the occasion;...
SMC 11.360 2 [George Prescott] was a Puritan in the
army, with traits that remind one of John Brown,-an integrity
incorruptible, and an ability that always rose to the need.
SMC 11.361 10 Always devoted...[George Prescott's
letters] contain the sincere praise of men whom I now see in this
assembly.
SMC 11.370 5 When Colonel Gurney, of the Ninth
[Regiment], came to him the next day to tell him that folks are just
beginning to appreciate the Thirty-second Regiment: it always was a
good regiment...Colonel Prescott notes in his journal,-Pity they have
not found it out before it was all gone.
EdAd 11.387 25 Lovers of our country, but not always
approvers of the public counsels, we should certainly be glad to give
good advice in politics.
Koss 11.399 25 We [people of Concord] know the
austere condition of liberty...that it is always slipping from those
who boast it to those who fight for it...
Koss 11.400 22 Sir [Kossuth], whatever obstruction
from selfishness, indifference, or from property (which always
sympathizes with possession) you may encounter, we congratulate you
that you have known how to convert calamities into powers...
Wom 11.408 4 ...up to recent times, in no art or
science, nor in painting, poetry or music, have [women] produced a
masterpiece. Till the new education and larger opportunities of very
modern times, this position, with the fewest possible exceptions, has
always been true.
Wom 11.409 26 [Women] are, in their nature, more
relative; the circumstance must always be fit;...
Wom 11.426 4 ...there are always a certain number of
passionately loving fathers, brothers, husbands and sons who put their
might into the endeavor to make a daughter, a wife, or a mother happy
in the way that suits best.
RBur 11.443 6 The doves perching always on the eaves
of the Stone Chapel opposite, may know something about [the memory of
Burns].
Shak1 11.452 2 There are periods fruitful of great
men; others, barren;, or, as the world is always equal to itself,
periods when the heat is latent,- others when it is given out.
Shak1 11.452 8 [Periods fruitful of great men] are
like the great wine years...which, it is said, are always followed by
new vivacity in the politics of Europe.
ChiE 11.473 4 [Confucius's] rare perception appears
in...his unerring insight,-putting always the blame of our misfortunes
on ourselves;...
ChiE 11.473 12 ...[Confucius]...met the ingrained
prudence of his nation by saying always, Bend one cubit to straighten
eight.
FRO1 11.478 26 ...the statistics of the American, the
English and the German cities, showing that the mass of the population
is leaving off going to church, indicate the necessity...that the
Church should always be new and extemporized...
FRO1 11.480 15 The soul of our late war, which will
always be remembered as dignifying it, was, first, the desire to
abolish slavery in this country...
CPL 11.497 17 ...I always remember with satisfaction
that I saw that venerable plant [Papyrus] in 1833...
CPL 11.507 6 ...the book is a sure friend, always
ready at your first leisure...
FRep 11.517 8 ...a court or an aristocracy, which
must always be a small minority, can more easily run into follies than
a republic...
FRep 11.517 14 ...the cries of children and debt are
always holding the masses hard to the essential duties.
FRep 11.521 12 John Quincy Adams was a man of an
audacious independence that always kept the public curiosity alive in
regard to what he might do.
FRep 11.530 17 ...the great interests of
mankind...will always...gain on the adversary and at last win the day.
PLT 12.4 19 In all sciences the student is
discovering that Nature...is always working...after the laws of the
human mind.
PLT 12.16 8 ...the suggestion is always returning,
that hidden source publishing at once our being and that it is the
source of outward Nature.
PLT 12.26 16 A subject of thought to which we
return...from year to year, has always some ripeness of which we can
give no account.
PLT 12.30 15 There is always a loss of truth and
power when a man leaves working for himself to work for another.
PLT 12.35 8 Instinct is a shapeless giant in the
cave...Behemoth...always whole, never distributed...
PLT 12.43 4 I owe to genius always the same debt, of
lifting the curtain from the common...
II 12.80 14 Why should we be...the victims of our own
works, and always inferior to ourselves.
II 12.82 1 A man of more comprehensive view can
always see with good humor the seeming opposition of a powerful talent
which has less comprehension.
II 12.83 16 Him we account the fortunate man whose
determination to his aim is sufficiently strong to leave him no doubt.
I am aware that Nature does not always pronounce early on this point.
Mem 12.95 2 Am I asked whether the thoughts clothe
themselves in words? I answer, Yes, always;...
Mem 12.98 4 The way in which...any orator surprises
us is by his always having a sharp tool that fits the present use.
Mem 12.100 7 ...men of great presence of mind who are
always equal to the occasion do not need to rely on what they have
stored for use...
Mem 12.102 10 Some days are bright with thought and
sentiment, and we live a year in a day. Yet these best days are not
always those which memory can retain.
CInt 12.118 5 Society is always taken by surprise at
any new example of common sense and of simple justice...
CInt 12.120 20 [Demosthenes said] If it please you to
note it...[my counsels to you] be of that nature as is sometimes not
good for me to give, but are always good for you to follow.
CL 12.136 6 ...the necessity of exercise and the
nomadic instinct are always stirring the wish to travel...
CL 12.136 12 ...in the country, Nature is always
inviting to the compromise of walking as soon as we are released from
severe labor.
CL 12.151 26 The world has nothing to offer more rich
or entertaining than the days which October always brings us...
CL 12.164 8 Every new perception of the method and
beauty of Nature gives a new shock of surprise and pleasure; and always
for this double reason: first, because they are so excellent in their
primary fact...
CW 12.178 12 ...I am always glad to remember that in
proportion to the foliation is the addition of wood.
Bost 12.195 9 I trace to this deep religious
sentiment and to its culture great and salutary results to the people
of New England; first, namely, the culture of the intellect, which has
always been found in the Calvinistic Church.
Bost 12.196 26 ...the necessity, which always presses
the Northerner, of providing fuel and many clothes and tight houses and
much food against the long winter, makes him anxiously frugal...
Bost 12.197 8 As an antidote to the spirit of
commerce and of economy, the religious spirit-always enlarging, firing
man...was especially necessary to the culture of New England.
Bost 12.200 5 America is growing like a cloud...and
wealth (always interesting, since from wealth power cannot be divorced)
is piled in every form invented for comfort or pride.
Bost 12.203 5 ...there is always [in Boston] a
minority unconvinced, always a heresiarch...
Bost 12.206 18 ...here [in Boston] was...a living
mind...always afflicting the conservative class with some odious
novelty or other;...
MAng1 12.226 19 Versatility of talent in men of
undoubted ability always awakens the liveliest interest;...
MAng1 12.237 21 ...it seemed to [Michelangelo] that
if a man gave him anything, he was always obligated to that individual.
Milt1 12.250 8 The lover of [Milton's] genius will
always regret that he should [when writing the Defence of the English
People] not have taken counsel of his own lofty heart at this, as at
other times...
Milt1 12.250 26 ...when [Milton] comes to speak of
the reason of the thing [Defence of the English People], then he always
recovers himself.
Milt1 12.253 6 The opposition to [a masterpiece of
art], always greatest at first, continually decreases...
Milt1 12.253 18 Leaving out of view the pretensions
of our contemporaries (always an incalculable influence) we think no
man can be named whose mind still acts on the cultivated intellect of
England and America with an energy comparable to that of Milton.
ACri 12.305 11 A man of genius or a work of love or
beauty...is always a new and incalculable result...
MLit 12.313 10 [Subjectiveness] is founded on...the
need to recognize one nature in all the variety of objects, which
always characterizes a genius of the first order.
MLit 12.313 11 Accustomed always to behold the
presence of the universe in every part, the soul will not condescend to
look at any new part as a stranger...
MLit 12.318 22 This new love of the vast, always
native in Germany... finds a most genial climate in the American mind.
MLit 12.323 22 ...of [Goethe's] analysis, always
wholes were the result.
WSL 12.340 16 ...when we remember [Landor's] rich and
ample page, wherein we are always sure to find free and sustained
thought...we wish to thank a benefactor of the reading world.
WSL 12.342 10 From the moment of entering a library
and opening a desired book, we cease to be...men of care and fear. What
boundless leisure!...an Elysian light tinges all objects:-In the
afternoon we came unto a land/ In which it seemed always afternoon./
WSL 12.345 25 ...though [character] may be resisted
at any time, yet resistance to it is a suicide. For the person who
stands in this lofty relation to his fellow men is always the
impersonation to them of their conscience.
Pray 12.350 16 ...we seldom have the prayer otherwise
than it can be inferred from the man and his fortunes, which are the
answer to the prayer, and always accord with it.
Pray 12.352 10 ...thou, O my Father, knowest I always
delight to commune with thee in my lone and silent heart;...
Pray 12.352 13 ...thou, O my Father, knowest I always
delight to commune with thee in my lone and silent heart;...I am always
desiring thee.
Pray 12.352 24 ...O my Father...thou dost not steal
my time by foolishness. I always ask in my heart, where can I find
thee?
EurB 12.373 26 The story of Zanoni was one of those
world-fables which is so agreeable to the human imagination that
it...is always reappearing in literature.
PPr 12.383 22 The poet cannot descend into the turbid
present without injury to his rarest gifts. Hence that necessity of
isolation which genius has always felt.
PPr 12.386 12 Every object [in Carlyle]
attitudinizes...and instead of the common earth and sky, we have a
Martin's Creation or Judgment Day. A crisis has always arrived which
requires a deus ex machina.
PPr 12.386 15 One can hardly credit, whilst under the
spell of this magician [Carlyle], that the world always had the same
bankrupt look, to foregoing ages as to us...
PPr 12.386 26 ...the splendor of wit cannot outdazzle
the calm daylight, which always shows every individual man in balance
with his age...
PPr 12.387 18 The revelation of Reason is this of the
unchangeableness of the fact of humanity under all its subjective
aspects; that to the cowering it always cowers, to the daring it opens
great avenues.
Let 12.396 20 ...whilst this aspiration [to improve
society] has always made its mark in the lives of men of thought, in
vigorous individuals it does not remain a detached object...
Trag 12.408 17 There must always remain...the
hindrance of our private satisfaction by the laws of the world.
always-accelerated, adj. (1)
SovE 10.187 4 'T is a long scale...from the

Amasis, n. (1)
SwM 4.112 19 [Swedenborg] knows, if he only, the

who bade him drink up the sea, Yes, willingly, if you will stop the
rivers that flow in.

amassed, v. (4)
ET5 5.100 27 The boys [in England] know all that
Hutton knew of strata... or Harvey of blood-vessels; and these studies,
once dangerous, are in fashion. So what is invented or known in
agriculture...or in literature and antiquities. A great ability, not
amassed on a few giants, but poured into the general mind...
ET11 5.181 10 In evidence of the wealth amassed by
ancient [English] families, the traveller is shown the palaces in
Piccadilly...
ET11 5.186 10 ...[English nobility] see things so
grouped and amassed as to infer easily the sum and genius...
OA 7.325 14 Little by little [age] has amassed such a
fund of merit that it can very well afford to go on its credit when it
will.

Pow 6.78 1 John Kemble said that the worst provincial
company of actors would go through a play better than the best amateur
company.
amateur, n. (5)

FRep 11.512 9 The theatre avails itself of the best
talent of poet, of painter, and of amateur of taste, to make the
ensemble of dramatic effect.
amateurs, n. (3)
Pt1 3.3 16 It is a proof of the shallowness of the
doctrine of beauty as it lies in the minds of our amateurs, that men
seem to have lost the perception of the instant dependence of form upon
soul.
Pow 6.79 10 It is not question to express our
thought, to elect our way, but to overcome resistances of the medium
and material in everything we do. Hence the use of drill, and the
worthlessness of amateurs to cope with practitioners.
amatory, adj. (3)
PPo 8.239 17 When the bard improvised an amatory
ditty, the young [Bedouin] chief's excitement was almost beyond
control.

repeatedly to see [Michelangelo]. To her his sonnets are addressed; and
they all breathe a chaste and divine regard, unparalleled in any
amatory poetry except that of Dante and Petrarch.
