    SovE 10.192 20 Nothing is allowed to exceed or absorb the rest; if it do, it is disease, and is quickly destroyed. It was an early discovery of the mind,- this beneficent rule.
    SovE 10.198 1 Virtue is the adopting of this dictate of the universal mind by the individual will.
    SovE 10.198 5 ...Religion is...the emotion of reverence which the presence of the universal mind ever excites in the individual.
    SovE 10.199 1 While the immense energy of the sentiment of duty and the awe of the supernatural exert incomparable influence on the mind,-yet it is often perverted...

    SovE 10.199 27 When we ask simply, What is true in thought? what is just in action? it is the yielding of the private heart to the Divine mind...

    SovE 10.207 13 The human mind, when it is trusted, is never false to itself.

    Prch 10.229 22 [The clergy] look into Plato, or into the mind, and then try to make parish mince-meat of the amplitudes and eternities, and the shock is noxious.

    Plu 10.298 21 The range of mind makes the glad writer.
    Plu 10.300 15 Montaigne, whilst he grasps Etienne de la Boece with one hand, reaches back the other to Plutarch. These distant friendships...make the best example of the universal citizenship and fraternity of the human mind.

    Plu 10.317 14 ...it was [Plutarch's] severe fate to flourish in those days of ignorance, which, 't is a favorable opinion to hope that the Almighty will sometime wink at; that our souls may be with these philosophers together in the same state of bliss. The puzzle in the worthy translator's mind between his theology and his reason well reappears in the puzzle of his sentence.
    LLNE 10.326 4 The key to the period [1820 and following] appeared to be that the mind had become aware of itself.
    LLNE 10.326 10 The modern mind believed that the nation existed for the individual...
    LLNE 10.326 14 The modern mind believed that the nation existed...for the guardianship and education of every man. This idea...in the mind of the philosopher had far more precision; the individual is the world.
    LLNE 10.328 25 In philosophy, Immanuel Kant has made the best catalogue of the human faculties and the best analysis of the mind.
    LLNE 10.330 8 The popular religion of our fathers had received many severe shocks from the new times;...from the slow but extraordinary influence of Swedenborg; a man of prodigious mind...
    LLNE 10.335 19 ...[Everett] made a beginning of popular literary and miscellaneous lecturing, which in that region at least had important results. It is...becoming a national institution. I am quite certain that this purely literary influence was of the first importance to the American mind.

    LLNE 10.341 5 Some time afterwards Dr. Channing opened his mind to Mr. and Mrs. Ripley...
    LLNE 10.347 26 Fourier, almost as wonderful an example of the mathematical mind of France as La Place or Napoleon, turned a truly vast arithmetic to the question of social misery...

    MMEm 10.402 24 What a subject is [Mary Moody Emerson's] mind and life for the finest novel!
    MMEm 10.403 10 My opinion, [Mary Moody Emerson] writes, [is] that a mind like Byron's would never be satisfied with modern Unitarianism...
    MMEm 10.403 22 ...certain expressions, when they marked a memorable state of mind in [Mary Moody Emerson's] experience, recurred to her afterwards...
    MMEm 10.408 4 ...by society with [Mary Moody Emerson], one's mind is electrified and purged.
    MMEm 10.411 23 How insipid is fiction to a mind touched with immortal views!

    SlHr 10.440 23 The strength and the beauty of the man [Samuel Hoar] lay in the natural goodness and justice of his mind...
    SlHr 10.443 23 [Samuel Hoar] retained to the last the erectness of his tall but slender form, and not less the full strength of his mind.
    SlHr 10.443 25 Such was, in old age, the beauty of [Samuel Hoar's] person and carriage, as if the mind radiated, and made the same impression of probity on all beholders.
    SlHr 10.444 24 Mr. Hoar was distinguished in his profession by the grasp of his mind...

    SlHr 10.447 2 ...the farmers greeted [Samuel Hoar] as one of themselves, whilst they paid due homage to his powers of mind and to his virtues.
    SlHr 10.448 4 There was no elegance in [Samuel Hoar's] reading or tastes beyond the crystal clearness of his mind.
    Thor 10.461 16 [Thoreau's] senses were acute...his hands strong and skilful in the use of tools. And there was a wonderful fitness of body and mind.
    Thor 10.462 2 ...the relation of body to mind [in Thoreau] was still finer than we have indicated.
    Thor 10.463 17 [Thoreau] said...Nature knows very well what sounds are worth attending to, and has made up her mind not to hear the railroad-whistle.
    Thor 10.463 18 [Thoreau] said...Nature knows very well what sounds are worth attending to, and has made up her mind not to hear the railroad-whistle. But things respect the devout mind, and a mental ecstasy was never interrupted.
    Thor 10.471 6 [Thoreau's] interest in the flower or the bird lay very deep in his mind...
    Thor 10.471 11 [Thoreau] would not offer a memoir of his observations to the Natural History Society. Why should I? To detach the description from its connections in my mind would make it no longer true or valuable to me...
    Thor 10.471 20 ...none knew better than [Thoreau] that it is not the fact that imports, but the impression or effect of the fact on your mind.
    Thor 10.471 21 Every fact lay in glory in [Thoreau's] mind...
    Thor 10.476 2 [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.
    Thor 10.478 11 A truth-speaker [Thoreau]...a friend...almost worshipped by those few persons who...knew the deep value of his mind and great heart.
    Thor 10.478 15 [Thoreau] thought that without religion or devotion of some kind nothing great was ever accomplished: and he thought that the bigoted sectarian had better bear this in mind.
    Carl 10.493 8 If a tory takes heart at [Carlyle's] hatred of stump-oratory and model republics, he replies, Yes, the idea of a pig-headed soldier who will obey orders, and fire on his own father at the command of his officer, is a great comfort to the aristocratic mind.
    Carl 10.496 12 Wellington [Carlyle] respects...as having made up his mind, once for all, that he will not have to do with any kind of lie.
    GSt 10.507 19 ...there is to my mind somewhat so absolute in the action of a good man that we do not, in thinking of him, so much as make any question of the future.
    LS 11.2 5 ...The word by seers or sibyls told,/ In groves of oak, or fanes of gold,/ Still floats upon the morning wind,/ Still whispers to the willing mind./
    LS 11.6 22 I have only brought these accounts [of the Last Supper] together, that you may judge whether it is likely that a solemn institution... would have been established...in a manner so slight, that the intention of commemorating it should not appear...to have...dwelt in the mind of the only two among the twelve who wrote down what happened.
    LS 11.7 27 Without presuming to fix precisely the purpose in the mind of Jesus, you will see that many opinions may be entertained of his intention, all consistent with the opinion that he did not design a perpetual ordinance [in the Lord's Supper].
    LS 11.8 6 [Jesus] may have foreseen that his disciples would meet to remember him, and that with good effect. It may have crossed his mind that this would be easily continued a hundred or a thousand years...
    LS 11.8 22 ...many persons are apt to imagine that the very striking and personal manner in which the eating and drinking [at the Last Supper] is described, indicates a striking and formal purpose to found a festival. And I admit that this impression might probably be left upon the mind of one who read only the passages under consideration in the New Testament.
    LS 11.14 27 ...[St. Paul's] mind had not escaped the prevalent error of the primitive Church, the belief, namely, that the second coming of Christ would shortly occur...
    LS 11.17 22 [The Lord's Supper] is an expression of gratitude to Christ, enjoined by Christ. There is an endeavor to keep Jesus in mind, whilst yet the prayers are addressed to God.
    LS 11.17 26 I fear it is the effect of this ordinance [the Lord's Supper] to clothe Jesus with an authority which he never claimed and which distracts the mind of the worshipper.
    LS 11.18 3 ...I believe the human mind can admit but one God...
    LS 11.18 14 I appeal, brethren, to your individual experience. In the moment when you make the least petition to God...do you not, in the very act, necessarily exclude all other beings from your thought? In that act... Jesus is no more present to your mind than your brother or your child.
    LS 11.19 23 If I believed [the Lord's Supper] was enjoined by Jesus on his disciples, and that he even contemplated making permanent this mode of commemoration, every way agreeable to an Eastern mind, and yet on trial it was disagreeable to my own feelings, I should not adopt it.
    LS 11.21 16 What I revere and obey in [Christianity] is its reality...the rest it gives to the mind...

    LVB 11.92 23 Sir [Van Buren], does this government think that the people of the United States are become savage and mad? From their mind are the sentiments of love and a good nature wiped clean out?
    LVB 11.95 15 ...a letter addressed as mine is [to Van Buren], and suggesting to the mind of the Executive the plain obligations of man, has a burlesque character in the apprehensions of some of my friends.
    LVB 11.96 8 I write thus, sir [Van Buren], to inform you of the state of mind these Indian tidings have awakened here...
    EWI 11.102 20 [The negro slaves'] case was left out of the mind and out of the heart of their brothers.

    War 11.163 27 ...always we are daunted by the appearances; not seeing that their whole value lies at bottom in the state of mind.
    War 11.164 7 Observe how every truth and every error, each a thought of some man's mind, clothes itself with societies, houses, cities...
    War 11.166 27 At a certain stage of his progress, the man fights, if he be of sound body and mind.
    War 11.167 14 Since the peace question has been before the public mind, those who affirm its right and expediency have naturally been met with objections more or less weighty.
    War 11.170 2 The question naturally arises, How is this new aspiration of the human mind [towards peace] to be made visible and real?
    War 11.171 11 ...[peace] is to hear the voice of God, which bids the devils that have rended and torn [the man] come out of him and let him now be clothed and walk forth in his right mind.
    War 11.175 17 ...the mind, once prepared for the reign of principles, will easily find modes of expressing its will.

    FSLN 11.223 16 The history of this country has given a disastrous importance to the defects of this great man's [Webster's] mind.
    FSLN 11.235 10 ...no man has a right to hope that the laws of New York will defend him from the contamination of slaves another day until he has made up his mind that he will not owe his protection to the laws of New York, but to his own sense and spirit.

    EPro 11.317 5 ...so fair a mind...so reticent...the firm tone in which he announces it...all these have bespoken such favor to the act [Emancipation Proclamation] that...we are beginning to think that we have underestimated the capacity and virtue which the Divine Providence has made an instrument of benefit so vast.
