Man (continued)

    A Concordance to the Collected Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson
    Compiled by Eugene F. Irey

    Hsm1 2.262 19 I see not any road of perfect peace which a man can walk, but after the counsel of his own bosom.
    Hsm1 2.263 1 Whatever outrages have happened to men may befall a man again;...
    OS 2.267 9 ...the argument which is always forthcoming to silence those who conceive extraordinary hopes of man, namely the appeal to experience, is for ever invalid and vain.
    OS 2.267 19 Why do men feel that the natural history of man has never been written...
    OS 2.268 2 Man is a stream whose source is hidden.
    OS 2.269 7 ...within man is the soul of the whole;...
    OS 2.269 22 ...by yielding to the spirit of prophecy which is innate in every man, we can know what [the soul] saith.
    OS 2.270 16 All goes to show that the soul in man is not an organ...
    OS 2.270 27 A man is the facade of a temple wherein all wisdom and all good abide.
    OS 2.271 2 What we commonly call man...does not...represent himself, but misrepresents himself.
    OS 2.271 3 What we commonly call man, the eating, drinking, planting, counting man, does not...represent himself, but misrepresents himself.
    OS 2.271 18 Of this pure nature every man is at some time sensible.
    OS 2.271 23 We know that all spiritual being is in man.
    OS 2.271 27 ...as there is no screen or ceiling between our heads and the infinite heavens, so is there no bar or wall in the soul, where man, the effect, ceases, and God, the cause, begins.
    OS 2.272 5 Justice we see and know, Love, Freedom, Power. These natures no man ever got above...
    OS 2.273 1 Some thoughts always find us young, and keep us so. Such a thought is the love of the universal and eternal beauty. Every man parts from that contemplation with the feeling that it rather belongs to ages than to mortal life.
    OS 2.274 27 ...by every throe of growth the man expands there where he works...
    OS 2.275 22 Speak to his heart, and the man becomes suddenly virtuous.
    OS 2.277 5 Childhood and youth see all the world in [persons]. But the larger experience of man discovers the identical nature appearing through them all.
    OS 2.279 6 [The soul] is adult already in the infant man.
    OS 2.280 12 If we...see how the thing stands in God, we know the particular thing, and every thing, and every man.
    OS 2.280 24 ...the soul's communication of truth is the highest event in nature, since it then does not give somewhat from itself, but it...passes into and becomes that man whom it enlightens;...
    OS 2.284 5 The moment the doctrine of the immortality [of the soul] is separately taught, man is already fallen.
    OS 2.284 8 No inspired man ever asks this question [concerning the immortality of the soul]...
    OS 2.284 10 ...the man in whom [the soul] is shed abroad cannot wander from the present, which is infinite...
    OS 2.284 17 It is...in the nature of man, that a veil shuts down on the facts of to-morrow;...
    OS 2.285 9 Who can tell the grounds of his knowledge of the character of the several individuals in his circle of friends? No man.
    OS 2.285 11 In that man, though he knew no ill of him, [one] put no trust.
    OS 2.286 4 ...the wisdom of the wise man consists herein, that he does not judge [men];...
    OS 2.286 18 The infallible index of true progress is found in the tone the man takes.
    OS 2.287 25 ...if a man do not speak from within the veil...let him lowly confess it.
    OS 2.288 23 ...the fine gentleman, does not take place of the man.
    OS 2.290 3 From that inspiration [of the soul] the man comes back with a changed tone.
    OS 2.290 14 The more cultivated, in their account of their own experience, cull out the pleasing, poetic circumstance...the man of genius they saw...
    OS 2.291 11 Nothing can pass [in the soul]...but...dealing man to man in naked truth...
    OS 2.292 9 Deal so plainly with man and woman as to constrain the utmost sincerity...
    OS 2.292 15 Ineffable is the union of man and God in every act of the soul.
    OS 2.292 21 How dear, how soothing to man, arises the idea of God...
    OS 2.293 2 [God's presence] inspires in man an infallible trust.
    OS 2.294 15 Let man then learn the revelation of all nature and all thought to his heart;...
    OS 2.295 21 Before the immense possibilities of man all mere experience... shrinks away.
    OS 2.297 2 ...man will come to see that the world is the perennial miracle which the soul worketh...
    Cir 2.301 21 This fact [that around every circle another can be drawn], as far as it symbolizes the moral fact of the Unattainable...around which the hands of man can never meet...may conveniently serve us to connect many illustrations of human power in every department.

    Cir 2.308 13 A wise man will see that Aristotle platonizes.
    Cir 2.308 22 Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe...
    Cir 2.309 1 The very hopes of man...are...at the mercy of a new generalization.
    Cir 2.309 8 Valor consists in the power of self-recovery, so that a man cannot have his flank turned...
    Cir 2.313 21 ...the instinct of man presses eagerly onward to the impersonal and illimitable...
    Cir 2.314 25 The great man will not be prudent in the popular sense;...
    Cir 2.316 2 One man thinks justice consists in paying debts...
    Cir 2.316 6 ...that second man has his own way of looking at things;...
    Cir 2.316 14 For me...love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred;...
    Cir 2.316 21 If a man should dedicate himself to the payment of notes, would not this be injustice?
    Cir 2.319 16 ...the man and woman of seventy assume to know all...
    Cir 2.320 18 The new position of the advancing man has all the powers of the old, yet has them all new.

    Int 2.331 17 ...a man explores the basis of civil government.
    Int 2.332 14 The immortality of man is as legitimately preached from the intellections as from the moral volitions.
    Int 2.335 15 [The thought] affects every thought of man...
    Int 2.336 11 There is an inequality...between two men and between two moments of the same man, in respect to this faculty [of communication].
    Int 2.339 3 ...if a man fasten his attention on a single aspect of truth and apply himself to that alone for a long time, the truth becomes distorted...
    Int 2.341 14 ...every man is a receiver of this descending holy ghost...
    Int 2.341 27 Between [truth and repose], as a pendulum, man oscillates.
    Int 2.342 15 The circle of the green earth he [in whom the love of truth predominates] must measure with his shoes to find the man who can yield him truth.
    Int 2.342 18 Happy is the hearing man;...

    Pt1 3.23 8 [Nature] makes a man;...

    ET1 5.11 15 [Coleridge] was very sorry that Dr. Channing, a man to whom he looked up...should embrace such [Unitarian] views.
    ET1 5.11 17 [Coleridge] was very sorry that Dr. Channing, a man to whom he looked up,--no, to say that he looked up to him would be to speak falsely, but a man whom he looked at with so much interest,--should embrace such [Unitarian] views.
    ET1 5.12 11 [Coleridge] went on defining, or rather refining...talked of trinism and tetrakism and much more, of which I only caught this, that the will was that by which a person is a person; because, if one should push me in the street, and so I should force the man next me into the kennel, I should at once exclaim I did not do it, sir, meaning it was not my will.
    ET1 5.13 1 I told [Coleridge] how excellent I thought [the Independent's pamphlet in The Friend] and how much I wished to see the entire work. Yes, he said, the man was a chaos of truths...
    ET1 5.15 5 Carlyle was a man from his youth...
    ET1 5.15 7 Carlyle was...as absolute a man of the world, unknown and exiled on that hill-farm, as if holding on his own terms what is best in London.
    ET1 5.15 21 Few were the objects and lonely the man [Carlyle];...
    ET1 5.16 11 ...[Carlyle] still thought man the most plastic little fellow in the planet...
    ET1 5.16 14 [Carlyle] worships a man that will manifest any truth to him.
    ET1 5.16 19 The best thing [Carlyle] knew of that country [America] was that in it a man can have meat for his labor.
    ET1 5.17 8 ...it was now ten years since [Carlyle] had learned German, by the advice of a man who told him he would find in that language what he wanted.
    ET1 5.18 27 ...[Carlyle] named certain individuals, especially one man of letters...whom London had well served.
    ET1 5.19 6 [Wordsworth's] daughters called in their father, a plain, elderly, white-haired man...
    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...
    ET2 5.30 11 ...the wonder is always new that any sane man can be a sailor.
    ET2 5.32 6 ...under the best conditions, a voyage [at sea] is one of the severest tests to try a man.
    ET3 5.34 21 ...England is a huge phalanstery, where all that man wants is provided within the precinct.
    ET3 5.37 1 ...to resist the tyranny and prepossession of the British element, a serious man must aid himself by comparing with it the civilizations of the farthest east and west...
    ET4 5.51 5 Everything English is a fusion of distant and antagonistic elements. The language is mixed;...the currents of thought are counter...a people scattered by their wars and affairs over the face of the whole earth, and homesick to a man;...
    ET4 5.53 23 ...there is no prosperity that seems more to depend on the kind of man than British prosperity.
    ET4 5.54 1 We say, in a regatta or yacht-race, that if the boats are anywhere nearly matched, it is the man that wins.
    ET4 5.57 13 In Norway...the actors are bonders or landholders, every one of whom is named and personally and patronymically described, as the king's friend and companion. A sparce population gives this high worth to every man.
    ET4 5.58 19 ...[the Norsemen's] chief end of man is to murder or to be murdered;...
    ET4 5.62 25 ...the rudiment of a structure matured in the tiger is said to be still found unabsorbed in the Caucasian man.
    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 5.67 8 The fair Saxon man...is not the wood out of which cannibal, or inquisitor, or assassin is made...
    ET4 5.68 18 ...Sir Edward Parry said of Sir John Franklin, that if he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger...
    ET4 5.71 11 If in every efficient man there is first a fine animal, in the English race it is of the best breed...
    ET4 5.72 25 ...the genius of the English hath always more inclined them to foot-service, as pure and proper manhood, without any mixture; whilst in a victory on horseback, the credit ought to be divided betwixt the man and his horse.
    ET4 5.73 13 It is a proverb in England that it is safer to shoot a man than a hare.
    ET5 5.77 21 A man of that [English] brain thinks and acts thus; and his neighbor, being afflicted with the same kind of brain...thinks the same thing...
    ET5 5.78 4 The island [England] was renowned in antiquity for its breed of mastiffs, so fierce that when their teeth were set you must cut their heads off to part them. The man was like his dog.
    ET5 5.79 16 ...[Kenelm Digby] propounds, that syllogisms do breed, or rather are all the variety of man's life. ... Man, as he is man, doth nothing else but weave such chains.
    ET5 5.79 19 ...[Kenelm Digby] propounds, that syllogisms do breed, or rather are all the variety of man's life. ... Man, as he is man, doth nothing else but weave such chains. Whatsoever he doth, swarving from this work, he doth as deficient from the nature of man;...
    ET5 5.82 20 Montesquieu said, England is the freest country in the world. If a man in England had as many enemies as hairs on his head, no harm would happen to him.
    ET5 5.83 18 More than the diamond Koh-i-noor...[the English] prize that dull pebble which is wiser than a man, whose poles turn themselves to the poles of the world...
    ET5 5.84 21 [The English] think him the best dressed man whose dress is so fit for his use that you cannot notice or remember to describe it.
    ET5 5.86 1 ...Wellington, when he came to the army in Spain, had every man weighed, first with accoutrements, and then without;...
    ET5 5.89 17 A nation of laborers, every [English] man is trained to some one art or detail...
    ET5 5.89 23 [The Englishman] would rather not do anything at all than not do it well. I suppose no people have such thoroughness;--from the highest to the lowest, every man meaning to be master of his art.
    ET5 5.93 1 [The English] have made...London...such a city that almost every active man, in any nation, finds himself at one time or other forced to visit it.
    ET5 5.94 3 The climate and geography [of England], I said, were factitious, as if the hands of man had arranged the conditions.
    ET5 5.96 8 No man [in England] can afford to walk, when the parliamentary-train carries him for a penny a mile.
    ET5 5.97 6 The nearer we look, the more artificial is [the Englishmen's] social system. Their law is a network of fictions. Their property, a scrip or certificate of right to interest on money that no man ever saw.
    ET5 5.98 14 Man in England submits to be a product of political economy.
    ET5 5.98 18 Man [in England] is made as a Birmingham button.
    ET5 5.101 6 Every man [in England] carries the English system in his brain...
    ET6 5.104 24 Each man [in England] walks, eats, drinks, shaves...in his own fashion...
    ET6 5.105 4 Every man in this polished country [England] consults only his convenience...
    ET6 5.105 8 I know not where any personal eccentricity is so freely allowed [as in England], and no man gives himself any concern with it.
    ET6 5.105 24 [The Englishman] does not let you meet his eye. It is almost an affront to look a man in the face without being introduced.
    ET6 5.111 1 The favorite phrase of [the Englishmen's] law is, a custom whereof the memory of man runneth not back to the contrary.
    ET7 5.117 9 Beasts that make no truce with man, do not break faith with each other.
    ET7 5.117 19 ...[the English] require plain dealing of others. We will not have to do with a man in a mask.
    ET7 5.120 20 ...the chairman [of a St. George's festival in Montreal] complimented his compatriots, by saying, they confided that wherever they met an Englishman, they found a man who would speak the truth.
    ET7 5.121 21 ...the Englishman is not fickle. He had really made up his mind now for years as he read his newspaper, to hate and despise M. Guizot; and the altered position of the man as an illustrious exile and a guest in the country, makes no difference to him...
    ET7 5.122 13 [Englishmen] like a man committed to his objects.
    ET7 5.124 20 ...when the Rochester rappings began to be heard of in England, a man deposited 100 pounds in a sealed box in the Dublin Bank, and then advertised in the newspapers to all somnambulists, mesmerizers and others, that whoever could tell him the number of his note should have the money.
    ET7 5.125 11 I knew a very worthy man...who went to the opera to see Malibran.
    ET8 5.129 21 Commerce sends abroad multitudes of different classes [of Englishmen]. The choleric Welshman, the fervid Scot, the bilious resident in the East or West Indies, are wide of the perfect behavior of the educated and dignified man of family [in England].
    ET8 5.133 15 It was no bad description of the Briton generically, what was said two hundred years ago of one particular Oxford scholar: He was a very bold man, uttered any thing that came into his mind...
    ET8 5.133 25 The common Englishman is prone to forget a cardinal article in the bill of social rights, that every man has a right to his own ears.
    ET8 5.133 25 No man can claim to usurp more than a few cubic feet of the audibilities of a public room...
    ET8 5.135 14 Here [in England] was lately a cross-grained miser [Joseph Turner]...who never gave a dinner to any man...
    ET8 5.140 8 Haldor was not a man of many words...
    ET8 5.142 1 Nelson wrote from [English] hearts his homely telegraph, England expects every man to do his duty.
    ET9 5.144 17 The pursy man [in England] means by freedom the right to do as he pleases...
    ET9 5.147 19 ...[the English] have...a petty courage, through which every man delights in showing himself for what he is and in doing what he can;...
    ET9 5.148 7 [This little superfluity of self-regard in the English brain] sets every man on being and doing what he really is and can.
    ET9 5.148 10 [This little superfluity of self-regard in the English brain]... encourages a frank and manly bearing, so that each man makes the most of himself...
    ET9 5.148 17 A man's personal defects will commonly have, with the rest of the world, precisely that importance which they have to himself. If he makes light of them, so will other men. We all find in these a convenient metre of character, since a little man would be ruined by the vexation.
    ET9 5.148 22 ...an ex-governor of Illinois, said to me, If the man knew anything, he would sit in a corner and be modest;...
    ET9 5.149 10 It was said of Louis XIV., that his gait and air were becoming enough in so great a monarch, yet would have been ridiculous in another man;...
    ET10 5.153 3 In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property...
    ET10 5.153 10 A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls;--if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses? How can a man be a gentleman without a pipe of wine?
    ET10 5.153 12 Haydon says, There is a fierce resolution [in England] to make every man live according to the means he possesses.
    ET10 5.155 12 The Englishman believes that every man must take care of himself...
    ET10 5.156 18 [In England] An economist, or a man who can proportion his means and his ambition...without embarrassing one day of his future, is already a master of life, and a freeman.
    ET10 5.157 8 An Englishman, while he eats and drinks no more or not much more than another man, labors three times as many hours in the course of a year as another European;...
    ET10 5.159 19 The power of machinery in Great Britain, in mills, has been computed to be equal to 600,000,000 men, one man being able by the aid of steam to do the work which required two hundred and fifty men to accomplish fifty years ago.
    ET10 5.166 21 ...a man must keep an eye on his servants, if he would not have them rule him.
    ET10 5.166 22 Man is a shrewd inventor...
    ET10 5.167 4 There should be temperance in making cloth, as well as in eating. A man should not be a silk-worm, nor a nation a tent of caterpillars.
    ET10 5.167 10 The incessant repetition of the same hand-work dwarfs the man...
    ET10 5.170 26 A civility of trifles...takes place [in England], and the putting as many impediments as we can between the man and his objects.
    ET11 5.173 14 Every man who becomes rich [in England] buys land...
    ET11 5.176 27 [The Duke of Bedford's] ancestor...a lively, pleasant man, became the companion of a foreign prince wrecked on the Dorsetshire coast, where Mr. [John] Russell lived.
    ET11 5.180 2 The English lords...call themselves after their lands, as if the man represented the country that bred him;...
    ET11 5.180 9 ...[the English lords] rightly wear the token of the glebe that gave them birth, suggesting that...here in London,--the crags of Argyle...the clays of Stafford...know the man who was born by them...
    ET11 5.180 14 A susceptible man could not wear a name which represented in a strict sense a city or a county of England, without hearing in it a challenge to duty and honor.
    ET11 5.183 24 ...with such interests at stake, how can these men [English peers] afford to neglect them? O, replied my friend, why should they work for themselves when every man in England works for them...
    ET11 5.187 23 When a man once knows that he has done justice to himself, let him dismiss all terrors of aristocracy as superstitions...
    ET11 5.190 14 At Wilton House the Arcadia was written, amidst conversations with Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke, a man of no vulgar mind...
    ET11 5.191 15 No man who valued his head might do what these pot-companions familiarly did with the king.
    ET11 5.193 4 Dismal anecdotes abound...of great lords living by the showing of their houses, and of an old man wheeled in his chair from room to room, whilst his chambers are exhibited to the visitor for money;...
    ET11 5.194 11 A man of wit [in England]...confessed to his friend that he could not enter [noblemen's] houses without being made to feel that they were great lords, and he a low plebeian.
    ET12 5.206 12 ...[the young men at Oxford] pointed out to me a paralytic old man, who was assisted into the hall.
    ET12 5.207 2 Greek erudition exists on the Isis and Cam, whether the Maud man or the Brasenose man be properly ranked or not;...
    ET12 5.209 16 The definition of a public school [in England] is a school which excludes all that could fit a man for standing behind a counter.
    ET13 5.216 6 [The priest...translated the sanctities of old hagiology into English virtues on English ground. It was a certain affirmative or aggressive state of the Caucasian races. Man awoke refreshed by the sleep of ages.
    ET13 5.220 4 These [English] minsters were neither built nor filled by atheists. No church has had more learned, industrious or devoted men; plenty of clerks and bishops, who, out of their gowns, would turn their backs on no man.
    ET13 5.221 16 ...gentlemen lately testified in the House of Commons that in their lives they never saw a poor man in a ragged coat inside a church.
    ET13 5.227 27 ...you, who are an honest man in other particulars [than conformity], know that there is alive somewhere a man whose honesty reaches to this point also that he shall not kneel to false gods...
    ET13 5.228 1 ...you, who are an honest man in other particulars [than conformity], know that there is alive somewhere a man whose honesty reaches to this point also that he shall not kneel to false gods...
    ET14 5.237 13 A man must think that age well taught and thoughtful, by which masques and poems, like those of Ben Jonson...were received with favor.
    ET14 5.240 14 If any man thinketh philosophy and universality to be idle studies, he doth not consider that all professions are from thence served and supplied;...
    ET14 5.242 11 In England these [generalizations]...do all have a kind of filial retrospect to Plato and the Greeks. Of this kind is...the theory of Swedenborg...that the man makes his heaven and hell;...
    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...
    ET14 5.253 21 ...in England, one hermit finds this fact, and another finds that, and lives and dies ignorant of its value. There are great exceptions, of John Hunter, a man of ideas;......
    ET14 5.255 23 ...we have [in England] the factitious instead of the natural;...and the rewarding as an illustrious inventor whosoever will contrive one impediment more to interpose between the man and his objects.
    ET14 5.259 3 Might I, an unlettered man, venture to prescribe bounds to the latitude of criticism, I should exclude...all rules drawn from the ancient or modern literature of Europe...
    ET16 5.273 13 I was glad...to exchange a few reasonable words on the aspects of England with a man on whose genius I set a very high value [Carlyle]...
    ET16 5.274 16 [Carlyle] wishes to go through the British Museum in silence, and thinks a sincere man will see something and say nothing.
    ET16 5.277 23 We [Emerson and Carlyle] counted and measured by paces the biggest stones [at Stonehenge], and soon knew as much as any man can suddenly know of the inscrutable temple.
    ET16 5.280 1 [Carlyle] can see, as he reads [the Acta Sanctorum], the old Saint of Iona sitting there and writing, a man to men.
    ET16 5.284 8 We [Emerson and Carlyle] came to Wilton and to Wilton Hall...the frequent home of Sir Philip Sidney...where he conversed with Lord Brooke, a man of deep thought...
    ET16 5.287 12 ...I opened the dogma of no-government and non-resistance... and procured a kind of hearing for it. I said, it is true that I have never seen in any country a man of sufficient valor to stand for this truth...
    ET16 5.288 16 There, I thought, in America, lies nature sleeping, overgrowing, almost conscious, too much by half for man in the picture...
    ET16 5.288 20 There, I thought, in America, lies nature sleeping...and on it man seems not able to make much impression.
    ET16 5.290 18 William of Wykeham's shrine tomb was unlocked for us, and Carlyle took hold of the recumbent statue's marble hands and patted them affectionately, for he rightly values the brave man who built Windsor and this Cathedral and the School here and New College at Oxford.
    ET17 5.292 1 A man of sense and of letters...[my Manchester correspondent] added to solid virtues an infinite sweetness and bonhommie.
    ET17 5.294 6 At Edinburgh...I made the acquaintance...of the Messrs. Chambers, and of a man of high character and genius, the short-lived painter, David Scott.
    ET17 5.294 16 We [Emerson and Martineau] found Mr. Wordsworth asleep on the sofa. He was at first silent and indisposed, as an old man suddenly waked before he had ended his nap;...
    ET17 5.296 8 ...perhaps it is a high compliment to the cultivation of the English generally, when we find such a man [as Wordsworth] not distinguished.
    ET18 5.302 27 ...what a proud chivalry is indicated in Collins's Peerage, through eight hundred years! What dignity resting on what reality and stoutness! What courage in war...what clerks and scholars! No one man and no few men can represent them.
    ET18 5.306 27 It was pleaded in mitigation of the rotten borough [in England]...that substantial justice was done. Fox, Burke, Pitt...or whatever national man, were by this means sent to Parliament...
    ET18 5.307 25 Every man [in England] is allowed and encouraged to be what he is...
    ET19 5.310 15 ...as for Dombey...there is...no man who can read, that does not read it...
    ET19 5.311 16 This conscience is one element [which attracts an American to England], and the other is...that homage of man to man, running through all classes...
    F 6.6 20 ...now and then an amiable parson...believes in a pistareen-Providence, which, whenever the good man wants a dinner, makes that somebody shall knock at his door and leave a half-dollar.
    F 6.6 25 We must see that the world...will not mind drowning a man or a woman...
    F 6.6 28 The cold, inconsiderate of persons...freezes a man like an apple.
    F 6.9 23 How shall a man escape from his ancestors...
    F 6.10 9 In different hours a man represents each of several of his ancestors...
    F 6.13 2 ...There is in every man a certain feeling that he has been what he is from all eternity...
    F 6.13 10 Now and then a man of wealth in the heyday of youth adopts the tenet of broadest freedom.
    F 6.13 12 In England there is always some man of wealth and large connection, planting himself...on the side of progress...
    F 6.15 26 ...man is born.
    F 6.17 15 Man is the arch machine of which all these shifts drawn from himself are toy models.
    F 6.20 15 ...[Maya] became at last woman and goddess, and [Vishnu] a man and a god.
    F 6.21 9 ...high over thought, in the world of morals, Fate appears as vindicator...requiring justice in man...
    F 6.21 17 The limitation [of Fate] is impassable by any insight of man.
    F 6.22 10 Man is not order of nature...
    F 6.23 2 ...here they are, side by side, god and devil...riding peacefully together in the eye and brain of every man.
    F 6.23 7 ...a part of Fate is the freedom of man.
    F 6.23 9 So far as a man thinks, he is free.
    F 6.23 16 ...it is wholesome to man to look not at Fate, but the other way...
    F 6.24 8 Rude and invincible except by themselves are the elements. So let man be.
    F 6.24 13 A man ought to compare advantageously with a river...
    F 6.24 24 ...if Fate is so prevailing, man also is part of it...
    F 6.25 8 The revelation of Thought takes man out of servitude into freedom.
    F 6.26 2 A man speaking from insight affirms of himself what is true of the mind: seeing its immortality, he says, I am immortal;...
    F 6.26 21 We hear eagerly every thought and word quoted from an intellectual man.
    F 6.28 9 Always one man more than another represents the will of Divine Providence to the period.
    F 6.29 26 There can be no driving force except through the conversion of the man into his will...
    F 6.30 1 ...no man has a right perception of any truth who has not been reacted on by it so as to be ready to be its martyr.
    F 6.30 17 We can afford to allow the limitation, if we know it is the meter of the growing man.
    F 6.30 21 ...when the boy grows to man...he pulls down that wall...
    F 6.32 9 The cold...freezes a man like a dewdrop.
    F 6.33 7 The mischievous torrent is taught to drudge for man;...
    F 6.33 10 Man moves in all modes...
    F 6.35 8 A man must thank his defects...
    F 6.36 1 In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception... are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.
