Nat 1.14 3 The private poor man hath cities, ships,
canals, bridges, built for
him.
Nat 1.14 17 A man is fed, not that he may be fed, but
that he may work.
Nat 1.15 1 A nobler want of man is served by nature,
namely, the love of
Beauty.
Nat 1.16 15 The influence of the forms and actions in
nature is so needful
to man, that, in its lowest functions, it seems to lie on the confines
of
commodity and beauty.
Nat 1.16 23 ...the attorney comes out of the din and
craft of the street and
sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again.
Nat 1.21 5 When the bark of Columbus nears the shore of
America;...can
we separate the man from the living picture?
Nat 1.21 23 Nature stretches out her arms to embrace
man...
Nat 1.22 2 A virtuous man is in unison with [nature's]
works...
Nat 1.22 12 ...nature became ancillary to a man.
Nat 1.24 11 Thus is Art a nature passed through the
alembic of man.
Nat 1.24 13 Thus in art does Nature work through the
will of a man...
Nat 1.25 2 Language is a third use which Nature
subserves to man.
Nat 1.26 18 An enraged man is a lion...
Nat 1.26 19 ...a cunning man is a fox...
Nat 1.26 19 ...a firm man is a rock...
Nat 1.26 20 ...a learned man is a torch.
Nat 1.27 4 Man is conscious of a universal soul within
or behind his
individual life...
Nat 1.27 16 ...man in all ages and countries embodies
[Spirit] in his
language as the FATHER.
Nat 1.27 23 ...man is an analogist...
Nat 1.27 26 ...neither can man be understood without
these objects, nor
these objects without man.
Nat 1.28 13 The seed of a plant, - to what affecting
analogies in the nature
of man is that little fruit made use of...
Nat 1.28 26 ...the moment a ray of relation is seen to
extend from [the ant] to man...then all its habits...become sublime.
Nat 1.29 26 The corruption of man is followed by the
corruption of
language.
Nat 1.30 24 ...picturesque language is at once a
commanding certificate that
he who employs it is a man in alliance with truth and God.
Nat 1.31 1 A man conversing in earnest...will find that
a material image... arises in his mind...
Nat 1.32 12 Did it need...this host of orbs in heaven,
to furnish man with
the dictionary and grammar of his municipal speech?
Nat 1.34 5 When in fortunate hours we ponder this
miracle, the wise man
doubts if at all other times he is not blind and deaf;...
Nat 1.38 9 Therefore is Space, and therefore Time, that
man may know that
things are not huddled and lumped...
Nat 1.38 15 The wise man shows his wisdom in
separation...
Nat 1.38 19 The foolish...suppose every man is as every
other man.
Nat 1.38 20 The foolish...suppose every man is as every
other man.
Nat 1.39 1 Man is greater that he can see [that the
beauty of nature shines
in his own breast]...
Nat 1.40 5 [Nature] receives the dominion of man as
meekly as the ass on
which the Saviour rode.
Nat 1.40 7 [Nature] offers all its kingdoms to man as
the raw material
which he may mould into what is useful.
Nat 1.40 8 Man is never weary of working [nature] up.
Nat 1.40 15 ...the world becomes at last only a
realized will, - the double
of the man.
Nat 1.41 1 ...every animal function from the sponge up
to Hercules, shall
hint or thunder to man the laws of right and wrong...
Nat 1.42 16 ...this moral sentiment...is caught by
man...
Nat 1.42 23 Who can guess...how much tranquillity has
been reflected to
man from the azure sky...
Nat 1.45 6 The wise man, in doing one thing, does
all;...
Nat 1.47 3 Thus is the unspeakable but intelligible and
practicable meaning
of the world conveyed to man...in every object of sense.
Nat 1.47 13 It is a sufficient account of that
Appearance we call the World, that God will teach a human mind, and so
makes it the receiver of a certain
number of congruent sensations, which we call...man and woman...
Nat 1.48 5 ...what is the difference, whether...worlds
revolve and
intermingle without number or end...or whether, without relations of
time
and space, the same appearances are inscribed in the constant faith of
man?
Nat 1.48 18 Any distrust of the permanence of laws
would paralyze the
faculties of man.
Nat 1.48 21 The wheels and springs of man are all set
to the hypothesis of
the permanence of nature.
Nat 1.49 17 In [the senses' and the unrenewed
understanding's] view man
and nature are indissolubly joined.
Nat 1.50 21 A man who seldom rides, needs only to get
into a coach and
traverse his own town, to turn the street into a puppet-show.
Nat 1.51 16 In these cases, by mechanical means, is
suggested the
difference...between man and nature.
Nat 1.51 19 ...a low degree of the sublime is felt,
from the fact...that man is
hereby apprized that...something in himself is stable.
Nat 1.52 5 The sensual man conforms thoughts to
things;...
Nat 1.57 7 ...no man touches these divine natures
[ideas], without
becoming, in some degree, himself divine.
Nat 1.57 13 No man fears age or misfortune or death in
[ideas'] serene
company...
Nat 1.58 3 Ethics and religion differ herein; that the
one is the system of
human duties commencing from man; the other, from God.
Nat 1.59 12 I only wish to indicate the true position
of nature in regard to
man...
Nat 1.59 12 I only wish to indicate the true position
of nature in regard to
man, wherein to establish man all right education tends;...
Nat 1.60 23 No man is [the soul's] enemy.
Nat 1.61 2 It is essential to a true theory of nature
and of man, that it should
contain somewhat progressive.
Nat 1.61 6 ...facts that end in the statement, cannot
be all that is true of this
brave lodging wherein man is harbored...
Nat 1.61 9 ...all the uses of nature admit of being
summed in one, which
yields the activity of man an infinite scope.
Nat 1.61 19 The happiest man is he who learns from
nature the lesson of
worship.
Nat 1.62 6 ...when man has worshipped him
intellectually, the noblest
ministry of nature is to stand as the apparition of God.
Nat 1.62 14 ...we see that the views already presented
do not include the
whole circumference of man.
Nat 1.63 23 We learn that the highest is present to the
soul of man;...
Nat 1.64 9 As a plant upon the earth, so a man rests
upon the bosom of
God;...
Nat 1.64 13 Who can set bounds to the possibilities of
man?
Nat 1.64 15 ...we learn that man has access to the
entire mind of the
Creator...
Nat 1.64 26 The world proceeds from the same spirit as
the body of man.
Nat 1.65 17 ...[the landscape] may show us what discord
is between man
and nature...
Nat 1.67 6 It is not so pertinent to man to know all
the individuals of the
animal kingdom...
Nat 1.68 7 Nor has science sufficient humanity, so long
as the naturalist
overlooks that wonderful congruity which subsists between man and the
world;...
Nat 1.68 19 Man is all symmetry/...
Nat 1.68 26 Nothing hath got so far/ But man hath caught
and kept it as his
prey;/...
Nat 1.69 16 More servants wait on man/ Than he'll take
notice of./
Nat 1.69 20 Oh mighty love! Man is one world, and hath/
Another to attend
him./
Nat 1.70 12 I shall...conclude this essay with some
traditions of man and
nature...
Nat 1.70 17 The foundations of man are not in matter,
but in spirit.
Nat 1.70 21 In the cycle of the universal
man...centuries are points...
Nat 1.71 4 A man is a god in ruins.
Nat 1.71 13 Man is the dwarf of himself.
Nat 1.71 16 Out from [man] sprang the sun and moon;
from man the sun, from woman the moon.
Nat 1.71 26 Now is man the follower of the sun...
Nat 1.72 9 At present, man applies to nature but half
his force.
Nat 1.72 26 ...there are not wanting...occasional
examples of the action of
man upon nature with his entire force...
Nat 1.73 16 The difference between the actual and the
ideal force of man is
happily figured by the schoolmen...
Nat 1.73 18 ...the knowledge of man is an evening
knowledge...but that of
God is a morning knowledge...
Nat 1.74 2 The reason why the world...lies broken and
in heaps, is because
man is disunited with himself.
Nat 1.74 17 No man ever prayed heartily without
learning something.
Nat 1.75 11 You also are a man.
Nat 1.75 11 Man and woman and their social life...are
known to you.
Nat 1.77 7 The kingdom of man over nature...he shall
enter without more
wonder than the blind man feels who is gradually restored to perfect
sight.
Nat 1.77 11 The kingdom of man over nature...he shall
enter without more
wonder than the blind man feels who is gradually restored to perfect
sight.
AmS 1.82 27 ...you must take the whole society to find
the whole man.
AmS 1.82 27 Man is not a farmer, or a professor, or an
engineer, but he is
all.
AmS 1.83 1 Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman,
and producer, and
soldier.
AmS 1.83 18 The state of society is one in which the
members...strut about
so many walking monsters, - a good finger, a neck, a stomach, an elbow,
but never a man.
AmS 1.83 19 Man is thus metamorphosed into a thing...
AmS 1.84 14 Is not indeed every man a student...
AmS 1.88 23 The poet chanting was felt to be a divine
man...
AmS 1.90 5 [The active soul] every man is entitled
to;...
AmS 1.90 5 ...[the active soul] every man contains
within him...
AmS 1.90 11 The soul active sees absolute truth and
utters truth, or creates. In this action it is...the sound estate of
every man.
AmS 1.90 17 ...the eyes of man are set in his forehead,
not in his hindhead...
AmS 1.90 18 ...man hopes...
AmS 1.90 20 Whatever talents may be, if the man create
not, the pure
efflux of the Deity is not his;...
AmS 1.93 17 Of course there is a portion of reading
quite indispensable to
a wise man.
AmS 1.94 22 Without [action the scholar] is not yet
man.
AmS 1.95 19 I do not see how any man can afford...to
spare any action in
which he can partake.
AmS 1.99 21 ...the scholar loses no hour which the man
lives.
AmS 1.100 9 ...a man shall not for the sake of wider
activity sacrifice any
opinion to the popular judgments and modes of action.
AmS 1.101 1 ...[the scholar]...cataloguing obscure and
nebulous stars of the
human mind, which as yet no man has thought of as such...must
relinquish
display and immediate fame.
AmS 1.102 18 ...some ephemeral trade, or war, or man,
is cried up by half
mankind and cried down by the other half...
AmS 1.103 27 ...the deeper [the orator] dives into his
privatest, secretest
presentiment, to his wonder he finds this is the most...universally
true. The
people delight in it; the better part of every man feels, This is my
music;...
AmS 1.105 10 ...in proportion as a man has any thing in
him divine, the
firmament flows before him...
AmS 1.105 21 The great man makes the great thing.
AmS 1.106 9 ...I have already shown the ground of my
hope, in adverting
to the doctrine that man is one.
AmS 1.106 10 I believe man has been wronged;...
AmS 1.106 18 ...in a millenium...one or two
approximations to the right
state of every man.
AmS 1.107 7 [The poor and the low] cast the dignity of
man from their
downtrod selves upon the shoulders of a hero...
AmS 1.107 23 The main enterprise of the world...for
extent, is the
upbuilding of a man.
AmS 1.107 24 The private life of one man shall be a
more illustrious
monarchy...than any kingdom in history.
AmS 1.108 1 ...a man...comprehendeth the particular
natures of all men.
AmS 1.108 10 ...we have come up with the point of view
which the
universal mind took through the eyes of one scribe; we have been that
man...
AmS 1.108 13 The man has never lived that can feed us
ever.
AmS 1.112 10 Man is surprised to find that things near
are not less
beautiful and wondrous than things remote.
AmS 1.112 14 A man is related to all nature.
AmS 1.112 19 There is one man of genius who has done
much for this
philosophy of life...I mean Emanuel Swedenborg.
AmS 1.113 16 ...each man shall feel the world is his...
AmS 1.113 17 ...man shall treat with man as a sovereign
state with a
sovereign state...
AmS 1.113 20 ...no man in God's wide earth is either
willing or able to
help any other man.
AmS 1.113 22 ...no man in God's wide earth is either
willing or able to
help any other man.
AmS 1.113 23 The scholar is that man who must take up
into himself all
the ability of the time...
AmS 1.114 2 If there be one lesson...which should
pierce [the scholar's] ear, it is, The world is nothing, the man is
all;...
AmS 1.114 7 ...this confidence in the unsearched might
of man belongs...to
the American Scholar.
AmS 1.115 2 ...if the single man plant himself
indomitably on his instincts... the huge world will come round to him.
AmS 1.115 13 Is it not the chief disgrace in the
world...not to yield that
peculiar fruit which each man was created to bear...
AmS 1.115 23 The dread of man and the love of man shall
be a wall of
defence and a wreath of joy around all.

MN 1.206 21 There is no attractiveness like that of a
new man.
MN 1.207 3 A man, a personal ascendency, is the only
great phenomenon.
MN 1.207 6 Follow the great man, and you shall see what
the world has at
heart in these ages.
MN 1.207 10 A man should know himself for a necessary
actor.
MN 1.208 13 Hereto was [a man] born...to do an office
which nature could
not forego...and then immerge again into the holy silence and eternity
out of
which as a man he arose.
MN 1.208 25 Whilst a necessity so great caused the man
to exist, his health
and erectness consist in the fidelity with which he transmits
influences from
the vast and universal to the point on which his genius can act.
MN 1.209 11 I conceive a man as always spoken to from
behind...
MN 1.209 20 If the man will exactly obey [that
well-known voice], it will
adopt him...
MN 1.211 1 What is best in any work of art but...that
which the man cannot
do again;...
MN 1.211 24 There is no office or function of man but
is rightly discharged
by this divine method...
MN 1.212 17 Every man who comes into the world [the
stars] seek to
fascinate and possess...
MN 1.213 5 ...man must be on his guard against this cup
of enchantments...
MN 1.214 8 Nature represents the best meaning of the
wisest man.
MN 1.214 16 ...a man never sees the same object
twice...
MN 1.216 7 A man adorns himself with prayer and love...
MN 1.216 10 ...what is energetic but the presence of a
brave man?
MN 1.216 14 The doctrine in vegetable physiology of the
presence or the
general influence of any substance over and above its chemical
influence... is more predicable of man.
MN 1.218 21 Nature is a mute, and man, her articulate,
speaking brother, lo! he also is a mute.
MN 1.219 9 What is all history but...a record of the
incomputable energy
which his infinite aspirations infuse into man?
MN 1.219 11 Has anything grand and lasting been done?
Who did it? Plainly not any man, but all men...
MN 1.219 13 What brought the pilgrims here? One man
says, civil liberty;...
MN 1.219 24 Is a man boastful and knowing, and his own
master?-we
turn from him without hope...
MN 1.220 7 A [New England] man was born not for
prosperity, but to
suffer for the benefit of others...
MN 1.220 10 A [New England] man was born...to suffer
for the benefit of
others like the noble rock-maple which all around our villages bleeds
for
the service of man.
MN 1.221 22 The sanity of man needs the poise of this
immanent force.
MN 1.222 11 That man shall be learned who reduceth his
learning to
practice.
MN 1.223 8 What man seeing this [great reality], can
lose it from his
thoughts...
MN 1.223 11 The entrance of this [great reality] into
his mind seems to be
the birth of man.
MR 1.227 3 I wish to offer to your consideration some
thoughts on the
particular and general relations of man as a reformer.
MR 1.227 4 ...the aim of each young man in this
association is the very
highest that belongs to a rational mind.
MR 1.227 17 ...every man should be open to ecstacy or a
divine
illumination...
MR 1.228 5 ...I will not dissemble my hope that each
person whom I
address has felt his own call...to be in his place a free and helpful
man...
MR 1.228 9 ...I will not dissemble my hope that each
person whom I
address has felt his own call...to be in his place...a brave and
upright man...
MR 1.228 25 ...not a kingdom, town, statute, rite,
calling, man, or woman, but is threatened by the new spirit.
MR 1.230 18 The young man...finds the way to lucrative
employments
blocked with abuses.
MR 1.230 24 The employments of commerce are not
intrinsically unfit for
a man...
MR 1.231 2 ...it requires more vigor and resources than
can be expected of
every young man, to right himself in [the employments of commerce];...
MR 1.232 22 [The general system of our trade] is not
that which a man
delights to unlock to a noble friend;...
MR 1.233 11 That is the vice,-that no one feels himself
called to act for
man...
MR 1.233 12 That is the vice,-that no one feels himself
called to act for
man, but only as a fraction of man.
MR 1.233 22 The trail of the serpent reaches into all
the lucrative
professions and practices of man.
MR 1.234 7 Suppose a man is so unhappy as to be born a
saint...and he is
to get his living in the world;...
MR 1.234 17 ...whilst another man has no land, my title
to mine...is at once
vitiated.
MR 1.234 26 Considerations of this kind have turned the
attention of
many...persons to the claims of manual labor, as a part of the
education of
every young man.
MR 1.235 11 ...will you...set every man to make his own
shoes, bureau, knife, wagon, sails, and needle?
MR 1.236 7 ...when the majority shall admit the
necessity of reform in all
these institutions [commerce, law, state]...a man may select the
fittest
employment for his peculiar talent again, without compromise.
MR 1.236 17 A man should have a farm or a mechanical
craft for his
culture.
MR 1.238 16 A man who supplies his own want, who builds
a raft or boat
to go a-fishing, finds it easy to caulk it...
MR 1.240 5 ...we have now a puny, protected person,
guarded by walls and
curtains...and he is now what is called a rich man...
MR 1.240 9 Knowledge, Virtue, Power are the victories
of man over his
necessities...
MR 1.240 11 Every man ought to have this opportunity to
conquer the
world for himself.
MR 1.240 17 Only such persons interest us...who have
stood in the jaws of
need, and have by their own wit and might...made man victorious.
MR 1.240 19 I do not wish to...insist that every man
should be a farmer...
MR 1.240 20 I do not wish to...insist that every man
should be a farmer, any more than that every man should be a
lexicographer.
MR 1.240 23 ...where a man does not yet discover in
himself any fitness for
one work more than another, [the husbandman's] may be preferred.
MR 1.240 27 ...every man ought to stand in primary
relations with the work
of the world;...
MR 1.242 1 I would not quite forget the venerable
counsel of the Egyptian
mysteries, which declared that there were two pairs of eyes in man...
MR 1.242 19 ...if a man find in himself any strong bias
to poetry...that
man...ought to ransom himself from the duties of economy by a certain
rigor and privation in his habits.
MR 1.242 22 ...if a man find in himself any strong bias
to poetry...that
man...ought to ransom himself from the duties of economy by a certain
rigor and privation in his habits.
MR 1.243 17 The duty that every man should assume his
own vows...gains
in emphasis if we look at our modes of living.
MR 1.244 5 We spend our incomes...for a hundred
trifles...and not for the
things of a man.
MR 1.244 8 Why needs any man be rich?
MR 1.245 11 How can the man who has learned but one
art, procure all the
conveniences of life honestly?
MR 1.248 9 What is a man born for but to be a
Reformer...
MR 1.248 10 What is a man born for but to be...a
Remaker of what man
has made;...
MR 1.249 1 The power which is at once spring and
regulator in all efforts
of reform is the conviction that there is an infinite worthiness in
man...
MR 1.249 5 Is it not the highest duty that man should
be honored in us?
MR 1.249 6 I ought not to allow any man...to feel that
he is rich in my
presence.
MR 1.249 12 I ought not to allow any man, because he
has broad lands, to
feel that he is rich in my presence. I ought to make him feel...though
I be
utterly penniless...that he is the poor man beside me.
MR 1.250 3 Now if I talk with a sincere wise man...I
see at once how paltry
is all this generation of unbelievers...
MR 1.250 10 ...I see at once how paltry is all this
generation of unbelievers, and what a house of cards their institutions
are, and I see what one brave
man...might effect.
MR 1.250 13 ...the reason of the distrust of the
practical man in all theory, is his inability to perceive the means
whereby we work.
MR 1.253 6 In every knot of laborers the rich man does
not feel himself
among his friends...
MR 1.253 25 The State must consider the poor man...
MR 1.255 10 Will you suffer me to add one trait more to
this portrait of
man the reformer?
MR 1.256 6 There is a sublime prudence which is the
very highest that we
know of man...
MR 1.256 12 ...the great man [is] very willing to lose
particular powers and
talents, so that he gain in the elevation of his life.
LT 1.260 21 ...a negative imposed on the will of man by
his condition...is
the foundation on which [Conservatism] rests.
LT 1.263 11 There is no interest or institution so poor
and withered, but if a
new strong man could be born into it, he would immediately redeem and
replace it.
LT 1.263 18 ...somebody shocked a circle of friends of
order here in
Boston...by declaring that an eloquent man,-let him be of what sect
soever,-would be ordained at once in one of our metropolitan churches.
LT 1.265 3 Let us paint the agitator, and the man of
the old school...
LT 1.271 9 The conscience of the Age demonstrates
itself in this effort to
raise the life of man by putting it in harmony with his idea of the
Beautiful
and the Just.
LT 1.271 18 In conversation with a wise man, we find
ourselves
apologizing for our employments;...
LT 1.271 22 Nature, literature, science, childhood,
appear to us beautiful; but not...the ripe fruit and considered labors
of man.
LT 1.272 1 Is there a necessity that the works of man
should be sordid?
LT 1.272 13 ...the origin of all reform is in that
mysterious fountain of the
moral sentiment in man...
LT 1.272 16 [The moral sentiment] alone can make a man
other than he is.
LT 1.273 7 A wealthy man...finds religion to be a
traffic so entangled...that
of all mysteries he cannot skill to keep a stock going upon that trade.
LT 1.273 22 To [some divine, the wealthy man]
adheres...and indeed
makes the very person of that man his religion;...
LT 1.273 24 ...a [wealthy] man may say his religion is
now no more within
himself...
LT 1.274 1 ...a [wealthy] man may say his religion...is
become a dividual
moveable, and goes and comes near him, according as that good man
frequents the house.
LT 1.274 24 ...[Marriage] shall honor the man and the
woman...
LT 1.276 6 [These reforms] are the simplest statements
of man in these
matters; the plain right and wrong.
LT 1.276 24 I think that the soul of reform; the
conviction that not
sensualism...not even government, are needed,-but...reliance on the
sentiment of man...
LT 1.278 12 ...the greatest action of man [leaves] no
mark in the vast idea.
LT 1.278 18 [the youth] must resist the degradation of
a man to a measure.
LT 1.279 24 ...if every child was brought into the
Sunday School, would... man be upright?
LT 1.279 25 ...the man of ideas...judges of the
commonwealth from the
state of his own mind.
LT 1.281 8 These benefactors [the reformers] hope to
raise man by
improving his circumstances...
LT 1.281 23 A new disease has fallen on the life of
man.
LT 1.285 18 No man can compare the ideas and
aspirations of the
innovators of the present day with those of former periods, without
feeling
how great and high this criticism is.
LT 1.286 8 It almost seems as if what was aforetime
spoken fabulously and
hieroglyphically, was now spoken plainly, the doctrine, namely, of the
indwelling of the Creator in man.
LT 1.286 11 The spiritualist wishes this only, that the
spiritual principle
should be suffered to demonstrate itself...in all possible applications
to the
state of man...
LT 1.291 2 What is the scholar, what is the man for,
but for hospitality to
every new thought of his time?
LT 1.291 12 ...the highest compliment man ever receives
from heaven is
the sending to him its disguised and discredited angels.
Con 1.298 18 ...[conservatism] goes to make an adroit
member of the social
frame, [liberalism] to postpone all things to the man himself;...
Con 1.299 26 ...in a true society, in a true man both
[Conservatism and
Reform] must combine.
Con 1.300 10 ...the superior beauty is with...the man
who has subsisted for
years amid the changes of nature, yet has distanced himself...
Con 1.301 14 ...no man can continue to exist in whom
both these elements [Conservatism and Reform] do not work...
Con 1.302 16 Here is the fact which men call
Fate...necessitating the
question whether the faculties of man will play him true in resisting
the
facts of universal experience?
Con 1.302 22 Wisdom does not seek a literal rectitude,
but...such a one as
the faculties of man and the constitution of things will warrant.
Con 1.306 1 ...before this personal appeal, the
innovator...must confess that
no man is to be found good enough to be entitled to stand champion for
the
principle.
Con 1.307 24 With equal earnestness and good faith,
replies to this plaintiff
an upholder of the establishment, a man of many virtues...
Con 1.307 26 Young man, I have no skill to talk with
you...
Con 1.308 19 I cannot occupy the bleakest crag of the
White Hills or the
Alleghany Range, but some man or corporation steps up to me to show me
that it is his.
Con 1.310 9 ...in respect to you, personally, O brave
young man! [existing
institutions] cannot be justified.
Con 1.313 5 Who put things on this false basis? No
single man, but all men.
Con 1.313 6 Who put things on this false basis? ... No
man voluntarily and
knowingly;...
Con 1.314 13 ...there is...no man who from the
beginning to the end of his
life maintains the defective institutions;...
Con 1.314 21 ...he who sets his face like a flint
against every novelty...has
also his gracious and relenting moments, and espouses for the time the
cause of man;...
Con 1.317 21 Yonder peasant...carries a whole
revolution of man and
nature in his head...
Con 1.317 23 ...man is the end of nature;...
Con 1.319 4 ...[the radical] legislates for man as he
ought to be;...
Con 1.319 23 If any man resist and set up a foolish
hope he has entertained
as good against the general despair, Society frowns on him...
Con 1.322 21 Which is that state which promises to
edify a great, brave, and beneficent man;...
Con 1.323 3 A state of war or anarchy...is so far
valuable that it puts every
man on trial.
Con 1.323 3 The man of principle is known as such [in a
state of war or
anarchy]...
Con 1.323 9 The man of courage and resources is shown
[in war or
anarchy]...
Tran 1.329 23 The materialist insists...on the force of
circumstances and
the animal wants of man;...
Tran 1.332 26 In the order of thought, the materialist
takes his departure
from the external world, and esteems a man as one product of that.
Tran 1.334 14 ...the deity of man is to be
self-sustained...
Tran 1.336 1 [The Transcendentalist] wishes that the
spiritual principle
should be suffered to demonstrate itself...in all possible applications
to the
state of man...
Tran 1.337 11 ...I have assurance in myself that in
pardoning these faults
according to the letter, man exerts the sovereign right which the
majesty of
his being confers on him;...
Tran 1.337 22 The Buddhist, who thanks no man...is a
Transcendentalist.
Tran 1.338 10 ...we have yet no man who has leaned
entirely on his
character...
Tran 1.338 26 Shall we say then that Transcendentalism
is...the
presentiment of a faith proper to man in his integrity...
Tran 1.339 4 Man owns the dignity of the life which
throbs around him...
Tran 1.339 10 ...genius and virtue predict in man the
same absence of
private ends and of condescension to circumstances...
Tran 1.341 20 ...every one must do after his kind, be
he asp or angel, and
these [Transcendentalists] must. The question which a wise man and a
student of modern history will ask, is, what that kind is?
Tran 1.344 18 [The Transcendentalists'] quarrel with
every man they meet
is not with his kind, but with his degree.
Tran 1.344 27 So many promising youths, and never a
finished man!
Tran 1.346 8 By their unconcealed dissatisfaction
[youths] expose our
poverty and the insignificance of man to man.
Tran 1.346 9 A man is a poor limitary benefactor.
Tran 1.346 18 ...in our experience, man is cheap...
Tran 1.347 6 ...what if [these youths] eat clouds, and
drink wind, they have
not been without service to the race of man.
Tran 1.348 11 What right, cries the good world, has the
man of genius to
retreat from work, and indulge himself?
Tran 1.350 8 A great man will be content to have
indicated in any the
slightest manner his perception of the reigning Idea of his time...
Tran 1.352 3 ...to [Transcendentalists] it seems a very
easy matter to
answer the objections of the man of the world...
Tran 1.355 24 [Transcendentalists]...find an indemnity
in the inviolable
order of the world for the violated order and grace of man.
Tran 1.357 18 ...all these [Transcendentalists] of whom
I speak...are
novices; they only show the road in which man should travel...
YA 1.366 23 ...beside all the moral benefit which we
may expect from the
farmer's profession, when a man enters it considerately; this
[inclination to
withdraw from cities] promised the conquering of the soil...
YA 1.368 3 A well-laid garden makes the face of the
country of no account; let that be...grand or mean, you have made a
beautiful abode worthy of man.
YA 1.368 14 ...the selection of a fit house-lot has the
same advantage over
an indifferent one, as the selection to a given employment of a man who
has
a genius for that work.
YA 1.376 3 ...a French ambassador mentioned to Paul of
Russia that a man
of consequence in St. Petersburg was interesting himself in some
matter...
YA 1.376 5 When a French ambassador mentioned to Paul
of Russia that a
man of consequence in St. Petersburg was interesting himself in some
matter, the Czar interrupted him,-There is no man of consequence in
this
empire but he with whom I am actually speaking;...
YA 1.377 22 Trade was the strong man that broke
[Feudalism] down...
YA 1.378 12 ...[Trade] converts Government into an
Intelligence-Office, where every man may find what he wishes to buy,
and expose what he has
to sell;...
YA 1.378 17 This is the good and this the evil of
trade, that it would put
everything into market; talent, beauty, virtue, and man himself.
YA 1.378 18 The philosopher and lover of man have much
harm to say of
trade;...
YA 1.381 9 ...[these communists] thought that the farm,
as we manage it, did not satisfy the right ambition of man.
YA 1.382 4 Here are Etzlers and mechanical projectors,
who...undoubtingly
affirm that the smallest union would make every man rich;...
YA 1.383 19 One man buys with [a dime] a land-title of
an Indian, and
makes his posterity princes;...
YA 1.384 17 ...Government must educate the poor man.
YA 1.386 2 If any man has a talent for righting
wrong...let him in the
county-town...put up his sign-board, Mr. Smith, Governor...
YA 1.387 3 It is only their dislike of the pretender,
which makes men
sometimes unjust to the accomplished man.
YA 1.388 23 The 'opposition' papers, so called, are on
the same side. They
attack the great capitalist, but with the aim to make a capitalist of
the poor
man.
YA 1.389 1 /Man alone/ Can perform the impossible./
YA 1.390 18 We cannot give our life to the cause...of
the pauper, as another
is doing; but to one thing we are bound, not to blaspheme the sentiment
and
the work of that man...
YA 1.391 2 ...the wise and just man will always feel
that he stands on his
own feet;...
YA 1.391 11 ...only by the supernatural is a man
strong;...
YA 1.391 24 ...here in America, is the home of man.
YA 1.393 16 It is a questionable compensation to the
embittered feeling of
a proud commoner, the reflection that a fop, who, by the magic of
title... plucks from him half the graces and rights of a man, is
himself also an
aspirant excluded with the same ruthlessness from higher circles...
YA 1.394 8 ...in England...no man of letters...is

Hist 2.3 2 Every man is an inlet to the [common mind]
and to all of the
same.
Hist 2.3 8 What Plato has thought, he [that is once
admitted to the right of
reason] may think;...what at any time has befallen any man, he can
understand.
Hist 2.3 14 Man is explicable by nothing less than all
his history.
Hist 2.3 23 A man is the whole encyclopaedia of facts.
Hist 2.4 3 ...Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain,
America, lie folded
already in the first man.
Hist 2.4 9 If the whole of history is in one man, it is
all to be explained
from individual experience.
Hist 2.4 20 Of the universal mind each individual man
is one more
incarnation.
Hist 2.4 27 Every revolution was first a thought in one
man's mind, and
when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era.
Hist 2.7 6 We honor the rich because they have
externally the freedom, power, and grace which we feel to be proper to
man, proper to us.
Hist 2.7 7 ...all that is said of the wise man by Stoic
or Oriental or modern
essayist, describes to each reader his own idea...
Hist 2.7 11 All literature writes the character of the
wise man.
Hist 2.8 6 I have no expectation that any man will read
history aright who
thinks that what was done in a remote age...has any deeper sense than
what
he is doing to-day.
Hist 2.8 12 The world exists for the education of each
man.
Hist 2.11 25 A Gothic cathedral affirms that it was
done by us and not done
by us. Surely it was by man, but we find it not in our man.
Hist 2.12 10 When we have gone through this process,
and added thereto
the Catholic Church...its Saints' days and image-worship, we have as it
were been the man that made the minster;...
Hist 2.14 2 In man we still trace the remains or hints
of all that we esteem
badges of servitude in the lower races;...
Hist 2.14 15 How many are the acts of one man in which
we recognize the
same character!
Hist 2.17 21 ...the roots of all things are in man.
Hist 2.17 26 In the man, could we lay him open, we
should see the reason
for the last flourish and tendril of his work;...
Hist 2.18 4 A man of fine manners shall pronounce your
name with all the
ornament that titles of nobility could ever add.
Hist 2.18 17 The man who has seen the rising moon break
out of the clouds
at midnight, has been present like an archangel at the creation of
light and
of the world.
Hist 2.21 5 The Gothic cathedral is a blossoming in
stone subdued by the
insatiable demand of harmony in man.
Hist 2.22 23 A man of rude health and flowing spirits
has the faculty of
rapid domestication...
Hist 2.24 4 ...every man passes personally through a
Grecian period.
Hist 2.24 24 A sparse population and want [in the
Grecian period] make
every man his own valet, cook, butcher and soldier...
Hist 2.26 11 The attraction of [the Greek] manners is
that they belong to
man...
Hist 2.26 12 The attraction of [the Greek] manners is
that they belong to
man, and are known to every man in virtue of his being once a child;...
Hist 2.26 21 I admire the love of nature in the
Philoctetes. In reading those
fine apostrophes to sleep...I feel time passing away as an ebbing sea.
I feel
the eternity of man, the identity of his thought.
Hist 2.28 26 The cramping influence of a hard formalist
on a young child... is a familiar fact, explained to the child when he
becomes a man, only by
seeing that the oppressor of his youth is himself a child tyrannized
over by
those names and words and forms of whose influence he was merely the
organ to the youth.
Hist 2.29 24 The advancing man discovers how deep a
property he has in
literature...
Hist 2.30 1 [The advancing man] finds...that universal
man wrote by [the
poet's] pen a confession true for one and true for all.
Hist 2.30 21 [Prometheus] is the friend of man;...
Hist 2.31 3 ...where [the story of
Prometheus]...exhibits him as the defier of
Jove, it represents a state of mind which...seems the self-defence of
man
against this untruth, namely a discontent with the believed fact that a
God
exists...
Hist 2.31 17 Man is the broken giant...
Hist 2.32 4 ...every creature is man agent or patient.
Hist 2.32 22 As near and proper to us is also that old
fable of the Sphinx, who was said to sit in the road-side and put
riddles to every passenger. If
the man could not answer, she swallowed him alive.
Hist 2.33 6 Those men who cannot answer by a superior
wisdom these facts
or questions of time, serve them. Facts...tyrannize over them, and make
the
men of routine...in whom a literal obedience to facts has extinguished
every
spark of that light by which man is truly man.
Hist 2.33 7 ...if the man is true to his better
instincts or sentiments...then the
facts fall aptly and supple into their places;...
Hist 2.35 23 ...along with the civil and metaphysical
history of man, another history goes daily forward,--that of the
external world...
Hist 2.36 11 ...out of the human heart go as it were
highways to the heart of

metaphysical annals of
man?
SR 2.43 1 Man is his own star;.../

the state

SR 2.63 12 [The world] has been taught by this colossal
symbol [of kings] the mutual reverence that is due from man to man.

Comp 2.96 6 If a man dogmatize in a mixed company on
Providence and

more a man and not

Comp 2.125 8 ...in some happier mind [these
revolutions] are incessant, and all worldly relations hang very loosely
about him, becoming as it were
a transparent fluid membrane through which the living form is seen, and
not, as in most men, an indurated heterogeneous fabric of many dates
and
no settled character, in which the man is imprisoned.

SL 2.140 11 I say, do not choose; but that is a figure
of speech by which I

is a partial act...and not a whole act of the man.
SL 2.140 17 We must hold a man amenable to reason for
the choice of his
daily craft or profession.
SL 2.140 23 Each man has his own vocation.
SL 2.141 8 [A man] inclines to do something which is

SL 2.142 9 The common experience is that the man fits
himself as well as
he can to the customary details of that work or trade he falls into,

Virgil.

Lov1 2.187 23 Looking at these aims with which two

or
fifty years, I do not wonder at the emphasis with which the heart

this crisis from early infancy...
Lov1 2.188 15 There are moments when the affections

dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought...
Fdsp 2.202 26 Every man alone is sincere.
Fdsp 2.203 4 We cover up our thought from [our

off
this drapery...
Fdsp 2.203 13 I knew a man who...spoke to the

bringing
every man of his acquaintance into true relations with him.

Fdsp 2.203 16 No man would think...of putting [a man I
