CbW 6.257 20 ...one would say that a good understanding would suffice as well as moral sensibility to keep one erect; the gratifications of the passions are so quickly seen to be damaging, and--what men like least--seriously lowering them in social rank.

CbW 6.274 14 ...it is who lives near us of equal social degree...these, and these only, shall be your life's companions;...

CbW 6.275 16 Do not make life hard to any. This point is acquiring new importance in American social life.

Bty 6.281 16 We should go to the ornithologist with a new feeling if he could teach us what the social birds say when they sit in the autumn council...

SS 7.13 9 ...we say of animal spirits that they are the spontaneous product of health and of a social habit.

Civ 7.21 21 ...a nomad, will die with no more estate than the wolf or the horse leaves. But so simple a labor as a house being achieved, his chief enemies are kept at bay. ... Invention and art are born, manners and social beauty and delight.

QO 8.190 9 Each man of thought is surrounded by wiser men than he, if they cannot write as well. Cannot he and they combine? Cannot they...call their poem Beaumont and Fletcher, or the Theban Phalanx's? The city will for nine days or nine years make differences and sinister comparisons: there is a new and more excellent public that will bless the friends.

FSLC 11.208 26 It is really the great task fit for this country to accomplish, to buy that property of the planters, as the British nation bought the West Indian slaves.

Mrs1 3.121 20 Comme il faut, is the Frenchman's description of good society: as we must be.

Mrs1 3.121 25 [Good society] is a spontaneous fruit of talents and feelings of precisely that class...who take the lead in the world at this hour, and though...far from constituting the gladdest and highest tone of human feeling, it is as good as the whole society permits it to be.

Mrs1 3.139 16 Society will pardon much to genius and special gifts...

Mrs1 3.140 5 ...the direct splendor of intellectual power is ever welcome in fine society as the costliest addition to its rule and its credit.

Mrs1 3.147 15 ...within the ethnical circle of good society there is a narrower and higher circle...

Mrs1 3.147 22 ...within the ethnical circle of good society there is a narrower and higher circle...to which there is always a tacit appeal of pride and reference... And this is constituted of those persons in whom heroic dispositions are native; with the love of beauty, the delight in society and the power to embellish the passing day.

Mrs1 3.149 13 I have seen an individual whose manners, though wholly within the conventions of elegant society, were never learned there...

Mrs1 3.151 17 [Lilla] was a solvent powerful to reconcile all heterogeneous persons into one society...

Nat2 3.175 9 To the poor young poet, thus fabulous is his picture of society; he is loyal; he respects the rich;...

Nat2 3.175 16 That [the rich] have some high-fenced grove which they call a park; that they...go in coaches, keeping only the society of the elegant, to watering-places and to distant cities,--these make the groundwork from which [the poor young poet] has delineated estates of romance...

Nat2 3.178 19 ...our hunting of the picturesque is inseparable from our protest against false society.

Nat2 3.192 2 The appearance strikes the eye everywhere of an aimless society, of aimless nations.

Pol1 3.203 1 In the earliest society the proprietors made their own wealth...

Pol1 3.204 20 Society always consists in greatest part of young and foolish persons.

Pol1 3.207 9 The same necessity which secures the rights of person and property against the malignity or folly of the magistrate, determines the form and methods of governing, which are proper to each nation...and nowise transferable to other states of society.

Pol1 3.207 19 We may be wise in asserting the advantage in modern times of the democratic form, but to other states of society, in which religion consecrated the monarchical, that and not this was expedient.

Pol1 3.217 1 In our barbarous society the influence of character is in its infancy.

Pol1 3.218 12 Most persons of ability meet in society with a kind of tacit appeal.

FRep 11.514 27 There have been revolutions which were not in the interest of feudalism and barbarism, but in that of society.

FRep 11.532 22 It seems as if history gave no account of any society in which despondency came so readily to heart as we see it and feel it in ours.

FRep 11.533 10 If a temperate wise man should look over our American society, I think the first danger that would excite his alarm would be the European influences on this country.

FRep 11.536 19 ...it is in the interest of civilization and good society and friendship, that I dread to hear of well-born, gifted and amiable men, that they have this indifference, disposing them to this despair.

PLT 12.8 27 ...if you like to run away from this besetting sin of sedentary men, you can escape all this insane egotism by running into society...

PLT 12.31 4 The one thing not to be forgiven to intellectual persons is that they believe in the ideas of others. From this deference comes the imbecility and fatigue of their society...

PLT 12.57 7 ...society seems to be in conspiracy to utilize every gift prematurely...

II 12.73 5 Certain young men or maidens are thus to be screened from the evil influences of trade by force of money. Perhaps that is a benefit, but those who give the money must be just so much more shrewd, and worldly, and hostile, in order to save so much money. I see not how any virtue is thus gained to society.

II 12.82 7 Trust entirely the thought. Lean upon it, it will bear up...society, and systems, like a scrap of down.

II 12.82 14 [A man] is strong by his genius, gets all his knowledge only through that aperture. Society is unanimous against his project.

II 12.83 8 The dream which lately floated before the eyes of the French nation-that every man shall do that which of all things he prefers, and shall have three francs a day for doing that-is the real law of the world; and all good labor, by which society is really served, will be found to be of that kind.
