Thought (continued) to Thoughts [Pensees]

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

    Dem1 10.7 20 Dreams have a poetic integrity and truth. This limbo and dust-hole of thought is presided over by a certain reason, too.

    PerF 10.77 3 Our stock in life, our real estate, is that amount of thought which we have had...

    Chr2 10.106 6 How unlike our habitual turn of thought was that of the last century in this country!
    Chr2 10.107 19 ...it by no means follows, because those [earlier religious] offices are much disused, that the men and women are irreligious;...but only...perhaps that they find some violence, some cramping of their freedom of thought, in the constant recurrence of the form.

    Edc1 10.130 4 Whatever the man does, or whatever befalls him, opens another chamber in his soul,-that is, he has got a new feeling, a new thought, a new organ.
    Edc1 10.134 6 ...if [a man] be capable of dividing men by the trenchant sword of his thought, education should unsheathe and sharpen it;...
    Edc1 10.136 3 ...if [the moral nature] monopolize the man...he does not yet know his wealth. He is in danger of becoming...wearisome through the monotony of his thought.

    Edc1 10.144 27 This is the perpetual romance of new life, the invasion of God into the old dead world, when he sends into quiet houses a young soul with a thought which is not met...
    Edc1 10.145 2 This is the perpetual romance of new life...when [God] sends into quiet houses a young soul...looking for something which is not there, but which ought to be there: the thought is dim but it is sure...
    Edc1 10.145 13 Happy this child...with a thought which entrances him...
    Edc1 10.147 27 By many steps...the hesitating collegian, in the school debate...in mock court, comes at last to full, secure, triumphant unfolding of his thought in the popular assembly...

    Edc1 10.157 4 The will, the male power...imposes its own thought and wish on others...
    Edc1 10.157 18 I assume that you [teachers] will keep the grammar, reading, writing and arithmetic in order; 't is easy and of course you will. But smuggle in a little contraband wit, fancy, imagination, thought.
    Edc1 10.159 8 Consent yourself to be an organ of your highest thought, and lo! suddenly you put all men in your debt...
    SovE 10.184 17 I see the unity of thought and of morals running through all animated Nature;...
    SovE 10.185 13 A thought is embosomed in a sentiment...
    SovE 10.185 15 A thought is embosomed in a sentiment, and the attempt to detach and blazon the thought is like a show of cut flowers.
    SovE 10.194 5 [Good men] do not see that He [God], that It, is there, next and within; the thought of the thought;...
    SovE 10.194 15 A man should be a guest in his own house, and a guest in his own thought.
    SovE 10.199 25 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 10.200 7 Here [a man] stands, a lonely thought harmoniously organized into correspondence with the universe of mind and matter.
    SovE 10.200 23 You are really interested in your thought.
    SovE 10.204 8 The religion of seventy years ago was an iron belt to the mind, giving it concentration and force. A rude people were kept respectable by the determination of thought on the eternal world.

    Prch 10.229 21 It was said: [The clergy] have bronchitis because they read from their papers sermons with a near voice, and then, looking at the congregation, they try to speak with their far voice, and the shock is noxious. I think they do this, or the converse of this, with their thought.
    Prch 10.233 11 The author has a new thought...

    MoL 10.245 8 We run...to Mesmerism, Spiritualism, to Pusey, to the Catholic Church, as if for the want of thought...

    MoL 10.246 26 There is an oracle current in the world, that nations die by suicide. The sign of it is the decay of thought. Niebuhr has given striking examples of that fatal portent; as in the loss of power of thought that followed the disasters of the Athenians in Sicily.
    MoL 10.249 2 Every man...does not need any one good so much as this of right thought.
    MoL 10.249 21 As certainly as water falls in rain on the tops of mountains and runs down into valleys, plains and pits, so does thought fall first on the best minds, and run down...

    Schr 10.259 1 For thought, and not praise,/ Thought is the wages/ For which I sell days,/ Will gladly sell ages/...
    Schr 10.259 2 For thought, and not praise,/ Thought is the wages/ For which I sell days,/ Will gladly sell ages/...
    Schr 10.269 11 Able men may sometimes affect a contempt for thought...
    Schr 10.269 24 Why need [the poet] meddle with politics? His idlest thought...is told already in the Senate.

    Schr 10.273 21 Other men are...heaving and carrying, each that he may peacefully execute the fine function by which they all are helped. Shall [the scholar] play, whilst their eyes follow him from far with reverence, attributing to him the delving in great fields of thought...
    Schr 10.274 9 Men of thought fail in fighting down malignity, because they wear other armor than their own.
    Schr 10.278 13 ...when one observes how eagerly our people entertain and discuss a new theory...and how little thought operates how great an effect, one would draw a favorable inference as to their intellectual and spiritual tendencies.

    Schr 10.283 3 ...[men's] religion should go with their thought and hallow it.
    Schr 10.287 15 [The scholar] is still to decline how many glittering opportunities, and to retreat, and wait. So shall you find in this penury and absence of thought a purer splendor than ever clothed the exhibitions of wit.
    Plu 10.299 2 Thought defends [Plutarch] from any degradation.
    Plu 10.299 13 ...[Plutarch] is...enough a man of the world to give even the Devil his due, and would have hugged Robert Burns, when he cried;-O wad ye tak' a thought and mend!/
    Plu 10.300 20 No poet could illustrate his thought with more novel or striking similes or happier anecdotes [than does Plutarch].
    Plu 10.300 25 [Plutarch's] style is realistic, picturesque and varied; his sharp objective eyes seeing everything that moves, shines or threatens in nature or art, or thought or dreams.
    Plu 10.322 21 ...[Plutarch's] sterling values will presently recall the eye and thought of the best minds...
    LLNE 10.358 22 Each man of thought is surrounded by wiser men than he...
    LLNE 10.363 10 [Charles Newcomb] lived and thought, in 1842, such worlds of life; all hinging on the thought of Being or Reality as opposed to consciousness;...
    LLNE 10.364 14 It is certain that...variety of work, variety of means of thought and instruction...did not permit sluggishness or despondency [at Brook Farm]...
    LLNE 10.369 20 I please myself with the thought that our American mind is not now eccentric or rude in its strength...
    CSC 10.376 4 There was a great deal of wearisome speaking in each of those three-days' sessions [of the Chardon Street Convention], but relieved...by much vigor of thought...
    EzRy 10.393 4 [Ezra Ripley] watched with interest...all the common objects that engage the thought of the farmer.
    MMEm 10.397 7 Ah me! it was my childhood's thought,/ If He should make my web a blot/ On life's fair picture of delight,/ My heart's content would find it right./
    MMEm 10.407 20 [Mary Moody Emerson] would tear...into the conversation, into the thought, into the character of the stranger,- disdaining all the graduation by which her fellows time their steps...
    MMEm 10.408 15 Was there thought and eloquence, [Mary Moody Emerson] would listen like a child.
    Thor 10.454 13 [Thoreau] chose, wisely no doubt for himself, to be the bachelor of thought and Nature.
    Thor 10.456 9 It seemed as if [Thoreau's] first instinct on hearing a proposition was to controvert it, so impatient was he of the limitations of our daily thought.
    Thor 10.458 4 [Thoreau] was more unlike his neighbors in his thought than in his action.
    Thor 10.475 22 ...[Thoreau] have not the poetic temperament, he never lacks the causal thought...
    Thor 10.475 25 [Thoreau]...liked to throw every thought into a symbol.
    Thor 10.477 1 [Thoreau's] habitual thought makes all his poetry a hymn to the Cause of causes...
    Thor 10.477 19 ...[Thoreau] was...a person incapable of any profanation, by act or by thought.
    Thor 10.479 11 A certain habit of antagonism defaced [Thoreau's] earlier writings,-a trick of rhetoric...of substituting for the obvious word and thought its diametrical opposite.
    Thor 10.482 8 I subjoin a few sentences taken from [Thoreau's] unpublished manuscripts, not only as records of his thought and feeling, but for their power of description and literary excellence...
    Thor 10.483 25 A little thought is sexton to all the world.
    Thor 10.483 26 How can we expect a harvest of thought who have not had a seed-time of character?
    LS 11.17 16 I appeal now to the convictions of communicants [in the Lord' s Supper], and ask such persons whether they have not been occasionally conscious of a painful confusion of thought between the worship due to God and the commemoration due to Christ.
    LS 11.18 12 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?
    LS 11.19 1 ...the use of the elements [of the Lord's Supper], however suitable to the people and modes of thought in the East...is foreign and unsuited to affect us.
    LS 11.20 8 ...any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought...an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration [of Jesus].
    War 11.151 3 It has been a favorite study of modern philosophy...to watch the rising of a thought in one man's mind...
    War 11.160 20 Cannot peace be, as well as war? This thought is no man's invention...
    War 11.160 27 Cannot peace be, as well as war? This thought is...the rising of the general tide in the human soul,-and rising highest, and first made visible, in the most simple and pure souls, who have therefore announced it to us beforehand; but presently we all see it. It has now become so distinct as to be a social thought...
    War 11.164 1 It is really a thought that built this portentous war-establishment...
    War 11.164 2 It is really a thought that built this portentous war-establishment, and a thought shall also melt it away.
    War 11.164 6 Every nation and every man instantly surround themselves with a material apparatus which exactly corresponds to...their state of thought.
    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 11.164 27 You shall hear, some day, of a wild fancy which some man has in his brain, of the mischief of secret oaths. Come again one or two years afterwards, and you shall see it has built great houses of solid wood and brick and mortar. You shall see a hundred presses printing a million sheets;...this great body of matter thus executing that one man's wild thought.
    War 11.165 8 ...when a truth appears,-as, for instance, a perception in the wit of one Columbus that there is land in the Western Sea; though he alone of all men has that thought, and they all jeer,-it will build ships;...
    FSLC 11.184 21 Nothing proves the want of all thought...more than the dominion of party.
    FSLC 11.188 10 ...all men that are born are, in proportion to their power of thought and their moral sensibility, found to be the natural enemies of this [Fugitive Slave] law.
    FSLC 11.188 16 I thought it a point on which all sane men were agreed, that the law must respect the public morality.
    FSLC 11.199 10 A measure of pacification and union. What is [the Fugitive Slave Law's] effect? To make one sole subject for conversation and painful thought throughout the continent, namely, slavery.
    FSLC 11.199 12 There is not a man of thought or of feeling but is concentrating his mind on [slavery].
    FSLN 11.215 3 Of all we loved and honored, naught/ Save power remains,-/ A fallen angel's pride of thought,/ Still strong in chains./
    FSLN 11.218 25 There is, no doubt, chaff enough in what [the newsboy] brings; but there is fact, thought, and wisdom in the crude mass...
    FSLN 11.223 27 ...[Webster] wanted that deep source of inspiration. Hence a sterility of thought...
    JBS 11.279 5 [John Brown] grew up...having that force of thought and that sense of right which are the warp and woof of greatness.
    ACiv 11.297 20 ...a man coins himself into his labor; turns his day, his strength, his thought, his affection into some product which remains as the visible sign of his power;...
    ACiv 11.301 20 ...there is no one owner of the state, but a good many small owners. ... It is clearly a vast inconvenience to each of these to make any change...and those less interested are...from want of thought, averse to innovation.
    ACiv 11.310 21 [Lincoln] speaks his own thought in his own style.
    EPro 11.315 4 These [poetic acts] are the jets of thought into affairs...
    ALin 11.335 20 Step by step [Lincoln] walked before [the American people];...the pulse of twenty millions throbbing in his heart, the thought of their minds articulated by his tongue.
    EdAd 11.387 17 ...though it may not be easy to define [America's] influence, the men feel already its emancipating quality...in the freedom of thought...
    EdAd 11.387 22 Bad as it is, this freedom [in America] leads onward and upward,-to a Columbia of thought and art...
    Wom 11.416 1 ...another important step [for Woman] was made by the doctrine of Swedenborg, a sublime genius who...showed the difference of sex to run through nature and through thought.
    Wom 11.417 23 There is always the want of thought; there is always credulity.
    Wom 11.425 9 The loneliest thought, the purest prayer, is rushing to be the history of a thousand years.
    SHC 11.428 24 ...Forget man's littleness, deserve the best,/ God's mercy in thy thought and life confest./ William Ellery Channing.
    SHC 11.432 22 ...I have heard it said here that we would gladly spend for a park for the living, but not for a cemetery; a garden for the living, a home of thought and friendship.
    SHC 11.436 19 The being that can share a thought and feeling so sublime as confidence in truth is no mushroom.
    Shak1 11.448 8 Wherever there are men, and in the degree in which they are civil-have...sensibility to beauty, music, the secrets of passion, and the liquid expression of thought, [Shakespeare] has risen to his place as the first poet of the world.
    Shak1 11.450 1 ...Shakspeare, by his transcendant reach of thought, so unites the extremes, that, whilst he has kept the theatre now for three centuries...he is yet to all wise men the companion of the closet.
    Scot 11.464 14 Just so much thought, so much picturesque detail in dialogue or description as the old ballad required...[Scott] would keep and use...
    FRO1 11.477 11 I have listened with great pleasure to the lessons which we have heard. To many...I have found so much in accord with my own thought that I have little left to say.
    FRO2 11.487 6 Nothing really is so self-publishing, so divulgatory, as thought.
    CPL 11.501 27 A river of thought is always running out of the invisible world into the mind of man.
    CPL 11.502 12 Thought is the most volatile of all things.
    CPL 11.503 6 ...if you can kindle the imagination by a new thought... instantly you expand...
    FRep 11.530 8 ...if there is fate in corn and cotton, so is there fate in thought...
    FRep 11.530 9 ...the largest thought and the widest love are born to victory...
    PLT 12.4 16 ...at last, it is only that exceeding and universal part [of Nature] which interests us, when we shall...see that what is set down is true through all the sciences; in the laws of thought as well as of chemistry.
    PLT 12.6 8 Whilst we converse with truths as thoughts, they exist also as plastic forces; as...the genius or constitution of any part of Nature, which makes it what it is. The thought which was in the world...has disengaged itself...
    PLT 12.15 7 Next I treat of the identity of the thought with Nature;...
    PLT 12.15 10 Thirdly I proceed to the fountains of thought in Instinct and Inspiration...
    PLT 12.15 12 Thirdly...I...attempt to show the relation of men of thought to the existing religion and civility of the present time.
    PLT 12.15 25 What but thought deepens life...
    PLT 12.16 13 In my thought I seem to stand on the bank of a river...
    PLT 12.17 19 Above the thought is the higher truth...
    PLT 12.19 6 ...presently, antagonized by other thoughts which [the perceptions of the soul] first aroused, or by thoughts which are sons and daughters of these, the thought buries itself in the new thought of larger scope...
    PLT 12.19 7 ...presently, antagonized by other thoughts which [the perceptions of the soul] first aroused, or by thoughts which are sons and daughters of these, the thought buries itself in the new thought of larger scope...
    PLT 12.19 20 So works the poor little blockhead manikin. He must arrange and dignify his shop or farm the best he can. At last he must be able to tell you it, or write it, translate it all clumsily enough into the new sky-language he calls thought.
    PLT 12.21 3 There is no solitary flower and no solitary thought.
    PLT 12.21 9 Every new thought modifies, interprets old problems.
    PLT 12.21 10 The retrospective value of each new thought is immense...
    PLT 12.24 23 ...under every thought is a newer thought.
    PLT 12.24 24 ...under every thought is a newer thought.
    PLT 12.25 19 The commonest remark, if the man could only extend it a little, would make him a genius; but the thought is prematurely checked...
    PLT 12.26 15 A subject of thought to which we return from month to month...has always some ripeness of which we can give no account.
    PLT 12.27 11 These views of the source of thought and the mode of its communication lead us to a whole system of ethics...
    PLT 12.27 15 These views of the source of thought and the mode of its communication...open to us the tendencies and duties of men of thought in the present time.
    PLT 12.33 20 Right thought comes spontaneously...
    PLT 12.33 24 It does not need to pump your brains and force thought to think rightly.
    PLT 12.34 22 [Instinct] is that source of thought and feeling which acts on masses of men...
    PLT 12.38 13 The thought, the doctrine, the right hitherto not affirmed is published in set propositions...
    PLT 12.39 3 A man is intellectual...so long as he has no engagement in any thought or feeling which can hinder him from looking at it as somewhat foreign.
    PLT 12.39 22 ...[the intellectual man] wishes in thought to know the history and destiny of a man;...
    PLT 12.40 24 A single thought has no limit to its value;...
    PLT 12.40 25 ...a thought, properly speaking...is of inestimable value.
    PLT 12.41 22 ...thought exists to be expressed.
    PLT 12.41 24 That which cannot externize itself is not thought.
    PLT 12.43 22 Thought must take the stupendous step of passing into realization.
    PLT 12.43 24 A master can formulate his thought.
    PLT 12.45 8 There is indeed this vice about men of thought, that you cannot quite trust them;...
    PLT 12.45 21 You must formulate your thought or 't is all sky and no stars.
    PLT 12.46 3 All thought is practical.
    PLT 12.46 9 The revelation of thought takes us out of servitude into freedom.
    PLT 12.46 13 If the thought is not a lamp to the will...the wise are imbecile.
    PLT 12.49 5 [Dante] clasps the thought as if it were a tree or a stone...
    PLT 12.49 24 ...I speak of [Talent] in quite another sense, namely, in the habitual speed of combination of thought.
    PLT 12.50 7 One would say [Shakespeare] must have been a thousand years old when he wrote his first line, so thoroughly is his thought familiar to him...
    PLT 12.50 12 One would say [Shakespeare] must have been a thousand years old when he wrote his first line, so thoroughly is his thought familiar to him, and has such scope and so solidly worded, as if it were already a proverb and not hereafter to become one. Well, that millennium in effect is really only a little acceleration in his process of thought.
    PLT 12.51 18 You say thought is a penurious rill. Well, we can wait.
    PLT 12.59 3 ...becoming somewhat else is the perpetual game of Nature, and death the penalty of standing still. 'T is not less in thought.
    PLT 12.59 4 I cannot conceive any good in a thought which confines and stagnates.
    PLT 12.59 9 We are passing into new heavens...in thought by our better knowledge.
    PLT 12.59 12 [A fact] is the terminus of a past thought...
    PLT 12.59 27 The same course continues itself in the mind which we have witnessed in Nature, namely the carrying-on and completion of the metamorphosis from grub to worm, from worm to fly. In human thought this process is often arrested for years and ages.
    PLT 12.63 18 The superiority of the man is in the simplicity of his thought...
    II 12.67 4 All true wisdom of thought and of action comes of deference to this instinct...
    II 12.67 22 A continuous effect cannot be produced by discontinuous thought...
    II 12.70 27 In the healthy mind, the thought is not a barren thesis...
    II 12.74 2 Here is a famous Ode, which...lies in all memories as the high-water mark in the flood of thought in this age. What does the writer know of that?
    II 12.77 12 ...all beauty of discourse or of manners lies in launching on the thought, and forgetting ourselves;...
    II 12.79 1 The whole ethics of thought is of this kind, flowing out of reverence of the source...
    II 12.80 16 We do not yet trust the unknown powers of thought.
