World Fairs to Wormy
A Concordance to the Collected Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Compiled by Eugene F. Irey
World Fairs, n. (1)
Wsp 6.225 9 The way to conquer the foreign artisan is,
not to kill him, but
to beat his work. And the Crystal Palaces and World Fairs...are the
result of
this feeling.
world, n. (1332)
Nat 1.5 15 ...in an impression so grand as that of the
world on the human
mind, [man's operations] do not vary the result.
Nat 1.12 2 Whoever considers the final cause of the
world will discern a
multitude of uses that enter as parts into that result.
Nat 1.14 2 By the aggregate of these aids [of the
useful arts], how is the
face of the world changed...
Nat 1.15 3 The ancient Greeks called the world kosmos,
beauty.
Nat 1.20 8 ...[man] is entitled to the world by his
constitution.
Nat 1.20 10 In proportion to the energy of his thought
and will, [man] takes
up the world into himself.
Nat 1.22 14 There is still another aspect under which
the beauty of the
world may be viewed...
Nat 1.23 10 All men are in some degree impressed by the
face of the
world;...
Nat 1.23 17 A work of art is an abstract or epitome of
the world.
Nat 1.24 8 The poet...the architect, seek each to
concentrate this radiance of
the world on one point...
Nat 1.24 14 The world thus exists to the soul to
satisfy the desire of beauty.
Nat 1.32 24 The world is emblematic.
Nat 1.33 2 The visible world and the relation of its
parts, is the dial plate of
the invisible.
Nat 1.34 14 [The relation between mind and matter] is
the standing
problem which has exercised the wonder and the study of every fine
genius
since the world began;...
Nat 1.34 25 ...day and night...are what they are by
virtue of preceding
affections in the world of spirit.
Nat 1.35 1 The visible creation is the terminus or the
circumference of the
invisible world.
Nat 1.35 18 ...the world shall be to us an open book...
Nat 1.36 3 This use of the world [as a discipline]
includes the preceding
uses...
Nat 1.36 16 ...Reason transfers all these lessons into
its own world of
thought...
Nat 1.40 14 ...the world becomes at last only a
realized will...
Nat 1.42 16 ...this moral sentiment which...impregnates
the waters of the
world, is caught by man...
Nat 1.43 15 Each particle...faithfully renders the
likeness of the world.
Nat 1.47 2 Thus is the unspeakable but intelligible and
practicable meaning
of the world conveyed to man...in every object of sense.
Nat 1.50 21 The least change in our point of view gives
the whole world a
pictorial air.
Nat 1.51 20 ...a low degree of the sublime is felt,
from the fact...that man is
hereby apprized that whilst the world is a spectacle, something in
himself is
stable.
Nat 1.52 9 To [the poet], the refractory world is
ductile and flexible;...
Nat 1.52 13 The Imagination may be defined to be the
use which the
Reason makes of the material world.
Nat 1.54 26 The perception of real affinities between
events...enables the
poet thus to make free with the most imposing forms and phenomena of
the
world...
Nat 1.58 15 ...Contemn the unsubstantial shows of the
world;...
Nat 1.59 3 It appears that motion...and religion, all
tend to affect our
convictions of the reality of the external world.
Nat 1.59 19 Children, it is true, believe in the
external world.
Nat 1.59 24 ...[the ideal theory] presents the world in
precisely that view
which is most desirable to the mind.
Nat 1.60 2 ...seen in the light of thought, the world
always is phenomenal;...
Nat 1.60 4 Idealism sees the world in God.
Nat 1.60 20 ...[the soul] accepts from God the
phenomenon [Christianity]... as the pure and awful form of religion in
the world.
Nat 1.62 25 ...the world is a divine dream...
Nat 1.63 18 Let [the ideal theory] stand then...merely
as a useful
introductory hypothesis, serving to apprize us of the eternal
distinction
between the soul and the world.
Nat 1.64 24 This [spiritual] view...animates me to
create my own world...
Nat 1.64 25 The world proceeds from the same spirit as
the body of man.
Nat 1.66 1 In inquiries respecting the laws of the
world...the highest reason
is always the truest.
Nat 1.66 13 ...the best read naturalist who lends an
entire and devout
attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his
relation to
the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition...of known
quantities...
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 21 Man is all symmetry,/ Full of proportions,
one limb to another,/ And all to all the world besides./
Nat 1.69 20 Oh mighty love! Man is one world, and hath/
Another to attend
him./
Nat 1.70 14 I shall...conclude this essay with some
traditions of man and
nature...which, as they have always been in the world...may be both
history
and prophecy.
Nat 1.71 7 Now, the world would be insane and rabid, if
these
disorganizations should last for hundreds of years.
Nat 1.72 10 [Man] works on the world with his
understanding alone.
Nat 1.73 21 The problem of restoring to the world
original and eternal
beauty is solved by the redemption of the soul.
Nat 1.73 27 The reason why the world lacks unity...is
because man is
disunited with himself.
Nat 1.75 23 So shall we come to look at the world with
new eyes.
Nat 1.76 6 Every spirit builds itself a house, and
beyond its house a world...
Nat 1.76 7 Every spirit builds itself...a world, and
beyond its world a
heaven.
Nat 1.76 7 Know then that the world exists for you.
Nat 1.76 17 Build therefore your own world.
AmS 1.81 18 Perhaps the time is already come...when the
sluggard intellect
of this continent will...fill the postponed expectation of the world
with
something better than the exertions of mechanical skill.
AmS 1.87 20 The scholar of the first age received into
him the world
around;...
AmS 1.89 21 Hence the book-learned class, who value
books...as making a
sort of Third Estate with the world and the soul.
AmS 1.90 4 The one thing in the world, of value, is the
active soul.
AmS 1.92 6 There is some awe mixed with the joy of our
surprise, when
this poet, who lived in some past world...says that which lies close to
my
own soul...
AmS 1.93 7 ...the sense of our author is as broad as
the world.
AmS 1.94 6 There goes in the world a notion that the
scholar should be a
recluse...
AmS 1.94 23 ...the world hangs before the eye as a
cloud of beauty...
AmS 1.95 6 The world...lies wide around.
AmS 1.97 8 ...nation and world, must also soar and
sing.
AmS 1.102 6 Whatsoever oracles the human heart...has
uttered as its
commentary on the world of actions, - these [the scholar] shall receive
and impart.
AmS 1.102 15 [The scholar] and he only knows the world.
AmS 1.102 15 The world of any moment is the merest
appearance.
AmS 1.104 24 The world is his who can see through its
pretension.
AmS 1.105 5 It is a mischievous notion that...the world
was finished a long
time ago.
AmS 1.105 6 ...the world was plastic and fluid in the
hands of God...
AmS 1.105 15 They are the kings of the world who give
the color of their
present thought to all nature and all art...
AmS 1.106 14 ...men in the world of to-day, are bugs...
AmS 1.107 21 The main enterprise of the world for
splendor...is the
upbuilding of a man.
AmS 1.111 26 ...the world lies no longer a dull
miscellany and lumber-room...
AmS 1.113 4 [Swedenborg] pierced the emblematic or
spiritual character of
the visible, audible, tangible world.
AmS 1.113 16 ...each man shall feel the world is his...
AmS 1.114 1 If there be one lesson...which should
pierce [the scholar's] ear, it is, The world is nothing, the man is
all;...
AmS 1.115 4 ...if the single man plant himself
indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come
round to him.
AmS 1.115 10 ...for work...the conversion of the world.
AmS 1.115 11 Is it not the chief disgrace in the world,
not to be an unit;...
DSA 1.119 11 The cool night bathes the world as with a
river...
DSA 1.119 19 One is constrained to respect the
perfection of this world in
which our senses converse.
DSA 1.120 10 ...when the mind opens...then shrinks the
great world...into a
mere illustration...
DSA 1.123 25 ...the world is not the product of
manifold power, but of one
will...
DSA 1.124 27 [The religious sentiment] is the embalmer
of the world.
DSA 1.126 22 ...the unique impression of Jesus upon
mankind, whose name
is not so much written as ploughed into the history of this world, is
proof of
the subtle virtue of this infusion [of Eastern thought].
DSA 1.128 11 As the...established worship of the
civilized world, [the
Christian church] has great historical interest for us.
DSA 1.131 18 You shall not own the world;...
DSA 1.132 15 Noble provocations go out from [the divine
bards], inviting
me...to subdue the world;...
DSA 1.132 23 ...a great and rich soul, like
[Christ's]...names the world.
DSA 1.132 23 The world seems to [the simple] to exist
for [the great and
rich soul]...
DSA 1.134 27 The man enamored of this excellency [of
the soul] becomes
its priest or poet. The office is coeval with the world.
DSA 1.135 17 The office [of priest] is the first in the
world.
DSA 1.138 19 ...of the bad preacher, it could not be
told from his sermon
what age of the world he fell in;...
DSA 1.142 10 ...[man] skulks and sneaks through the
world...
DSA 1.145 1 [Men]...know not that one soul, and their
soul, is wiser than
the whole world.
DSA 1.148 26 The silence that accepts merit as the most
natural thing in the
world, is the highest applause.
DSA 1.150 17 Two inestimable advantages Christianity
has given us; first
the Sabbath, the jubilee of the whole world...
DSA 1.151 19 I look for the new Teacher that shall
follow so far those
shining laws that he...shall see the world to be the mirror of the
soul;...
LE 1.157 24 ...the scholar is the student of the
world;...
LE 1.157 25 ...of what worth the world is, and with
what emphasis it
accosts the soul of man, such is the worth, such the call of the
scholar.
LE 1.158 16 When [the scholar] has seen that [the
intellectual power]...is
the soul which made the world...he will know that he...may rightfully
hold
all things subordinate and answerable to it.
LE 1.159 2 [The scholar] is the world;...
LE 1.159 12 ...the new man must feel that he...has not
come into the world
mortgaged to the opinions and usages of Europe...
LE 1.160 14 ...God gave me this crown, and the whole
world shall not take
it away.
LE 1.161 7 ...see how much you would impoverish the
world if you could
take clean out of history the lives of Milton, Shakspeare, and Plato...
LE 1.167 12 The perpetual admonition of nature to us,
is, The world is
new...
LE 1.168 16 The man who...rambles in the woods, seems
to be the first
man that ever...entered a grove, his sensations and his world are so
novel
and strange.
LE 1.168 22 ...[when I see the daybreak] I feel perhaps
the pain of an alien
world; a world not yet subdued by the thought;...
LE 1.173 6 Thus is justice done to each generation and
individual,- wisdom teaching man...that he shall not bewail himself, as
if the world was
old...
LE 1.173 16 Let [the scholar] know that the world is
his...
LE 1.177 6 Extricating themselves from the tasks of the
world, the world
revenges itself by exposing...the folly of
these...pedantic...creatures.
LE 1.177 7 ...the world revenges itself by
exposing...the folly of these... pedantic...creatures.
LE 1.179 14 ...[Napoleon] belonged to a class fast
growing in the world...
LE 1.181 16 Let [the scholar] know that...in a contempt
for the gabble of to-day's
opinions the secret of the world is to be learned...
LE 1.182 2 Let [the scholar]...serve the world as a
true and noble man;...
LE 1.186 5 It is this domineering temper of the sensual
world that creates
the extreme need of the priests of science;...
LE 1.186 11 Bend to the persuasion which is flowing to
you from every
object in nature...to show the besotted world how passing fair is
wisdom.
LE 1.186 23 Make yourself necessary to the world, and
mankind will give
you bread...
LE 1.187 6 Ask not...Who is the better for the
philosopher who...hides his
thoughts from the waiting world?
MN 1.191 10 ...[the scholars] stand for the spiritual
interest of the world...
MN 1.194 12 ...the whole world feels that thou art in
the right.
MN 1.195 7 In the bottom of the heart it is said; I am,
and by me, O child! this fair body and world of thine stands and grows.
MN 1.197 7 [Pure law] existed already in the mind in
solution; now, it has
been precipitated, and the bright sediment is the world.
MN 1.198 27 Empedocles undoubtedly spoke a truth of
thought, when he
said, I am God; but the moment it was out of his mouth it became a lie
to
the ear; and the world revenged itself for the seeming arrogance by the
good story about his shoe.
MN 1.199 14 The wholeness we admire in the order of the
world is the
result of infinite distribution.
MN 1.201 12 There is...no detachment of an individual.
Hence the catholic
character which makes every leaf an exponent of the world.
MN 1.201 21 ...if...it be assumed that the final cause
of the world is to
make holy or wise or beautiful men, we see that it has not succeeded.
MN 1.205 1 The termination of the world in a man
appears to be the last
victory of intelligence.
MN 1.206 9 Each individual soul is such in virtue of
its being a power to
translate the world into some particular language of its own;...
MN 1.207 7 Follow the great man, and you shall see what
the world has at
heart in these ages.
MN 1.208 2 If only [a man] sees, the world will be
visible enough.
MN 1.212 1 Is it [man's] work in the world to study
nature, or the laws of
the world?
MN 1.212 2 Is it [man's] work in the world to study
nature, or the laws of
the world?
MN 1.212 17 Every man who comes into the world [the
stars] seek to
fascinate and possess...
MN 1.212 20 ...[the stars] desire to republish
themselves in a more delicate
world than that they occupy.
MN 1.212 25 ...[the stars] would have such poets as
Newton, Herschel and
Laplace, that they may re-exist and re-appear in the finer world of
rational
souls...
MN 1.215 22 Tell me not how great your project is, the
civil liberation of
the world...
MN 1.216 23 From the poisonous tree, the world, say the
Brahmins, two
species of fruit are produced, sweet as the waters of life;...
MN 1.221 18 [The intellect] will burn up...all the
false powers of the world, as in a moment of time.
MN 1.223 22 ...these qualities...circulate through the
Universe: before the
world was, they were.
MR 1.227 19 ...every man should be open to ecstacy or a
divine
illumination, and his daily walk elevated by intercourse with the
spiritual
world.
MR 1.228 7 ...I will not dissemble my hope that each
person whom I
address has felt his own call...to be in his place...a benefactor, not
content to
slip along through the world like a footman or a spy...
MR 1.228 14 In the history of the world the doctrine of
Reform had never
such scope as at the present hour.
MR 1.229 7 It is when your facts and persons grow
unreal and fantastic by
too much falsehood, that the scholar flies for refuge to the world of
ideas...
MR 1.231 11 ...nothing is left [the young man] but to
begin the world
anew...
MR 1.234 10 Suppose a man is so unhappy as to be born a
saint...and he is
to get his living in the world;...
MR 1.235 8 ...we must begin to consider if it were not
the nobler part...to
take each of us bravely his part...in the manual labor of the world.
MR 1.236 22 We must have an antagonism in the tough
world for all the
variety of our spiritual faculties...
MR 1.236 25 Manual labor is the study of the external
world.
MR 1.240 11 Knowledge, Virtue, Power are the victories
of man over his
necessities, his march to the dominion of the world.
MR 1.240 12 Every man ought to have this opportunity to
conquer the
world for himself.
MR 1.241 1 ...every man ought to stand in primary
relations with the work
of the world;...
MR 1.248 6 ...we are to see that the world not only
fitted the former men, but fits us...
MR 1.248 19 Let [a man]...do nothing for which he has
not the whole
world for his reason.
MR 1.250 15 Look, [the practical man] says, at the
tools with which this
world of yours is to be built.
MR 1.251 4 Every great and commanding moment in the
annals of the
world is the triumph of some enthusiasm.
MR 1.252 26 ...we enact the part of the selfish noble
and king from the
foundation of the world.
MR 1.254 8 I am to see to it that the world is the
better for me...
MR 1.254 10 Love would put a new face on this weary old
world in which
we dwell as pagans and enemies too long...
MR 1.255 11 The mediator between the spiritual and the
actual world
should have a great prospective prudence.
MR 1.255 23 He who would help himself and others
should...be...a
continent, persisting, immovable person,-such as we have seen a few
scattered up and down in time for the blessing of the world;...
LT 1.261 19 We talk of the world, but we mean a few men
and women.
LT 1.262 11 ...persons are the world to persons...
LT 1.263 1 ...[persons] have the skill to make the
world look bleak and
inhospitable, or seem the nest of tenderness and joy.
LT 1.265 7 Let us paint...the woman of the world who
has tried and
knows;...
LT 1.272 21 The new voices in the wilderness...have
revived a hope, which
had well-nigh perished out of the world, that the thoughts of the mind
may
yet...be executed by the hands.
LT 1.278 10 The world leaves no track in space...
LT 1.279 24 ...if every child was brought into the
Sunday School, would
the wounds of the world heal...
LT 1.282 1 Our forefathers walked in the world and went
to their graves
tormented with the fear of Sin...
LT 1.284 5 ...we begin to doubt...whether [Reform] be
not...a paper
blockade, in which each party is to display the utmost resources of his
spirit
and belief, and no conflict occur, but the world shall take that course
which
the demonstration of the truth shall indicate.
Con 1.295 4 The two parties which divide the state, the
party of
Conservatism and that of Innovation...have disputed the possession of
the
world ever since it was made.
Con 1.295 8 The conservative party established the
reverend hierarchies
and monarchies of the most ancient world.
Con 1.295 15 On rolls the old world meantime...
Con 1.297 12 ...to save the world, Jupiter slew his
father Saturn.
Con 1.301 5 If we read the world historically, we shall
say, Of all the ages, the present hour and circumstance is the
cumulative result;...
Con 1.303 10 ...the existing world is not a dream...
Con 1.304 8 ...[the system of property and law] is the
fruit of the same
mysterious cause as the mineral or animal world.
Con 1.306 17 ...[the youth] says, If I am born in the
earth...have the
goodness, gentlemen of this world, to show me my wood-lot, where I may
fell my wood...
Con 1.306 22 ...[the youth] says, If I am born in the
earth...have the
goodness, gentlemen of this world, to show me...my pleasant ground
where
to build my cabin. Touch any wood, or field, or house-lot, on your
peril, cry
all the gentlemen of this world;...
Con 1.309 10 I cannot then spare you the whole world.
Con 1.309 12 It is God's world and mine;...
Con 1.311 15 Would you have...preferred your freedom on
a heath...to this
towered and citied world?...
Con 1.311 15 Would you have...preferred your freedom on
a heath...to this
world of Rome and Memphis...
Con 1.311 26 ...for thee...fleets of floating
palaces...swim by sail and by
steam through all the waters of this world.
Con 1.316 18 What you say of your planted, builded and
decorated world is
true enough...
Con 1.316 25 ...the thoughts of some beggarly Homer who
strolled...in the
infancy and barbarism of the old world;...sufficed to build what you
call
society on the spot and in the instant when the sound mind in a sound
body
appeared.
Con 1.320 11 [Conservatism's] social and political
action has no better
aim;...to bring the week and year about, and make the world last our
day;...
Con 1.320 12 [Conservatism's] social and political
action has no better
aim;...not to sit on the world and steer it;...
Tran 1.332 25 In the order of thought, the materialist
takes his departure
from the external world...
Tran 1.333 1 The idealist takes his departure from his
consciousness, and
reckons the world an appearance.
Tran 1.334 3 [The idealist's] experience inclines him
to behold the
procession of facts you call the world, as flowing perpetually outward
from
an invisible, unsounded centre in himself...
Tran 1.334 10 From this transfer of the world into the
consciousness... follow easily [the idealist's] whole ethics.
Tran 1.334 19 All that you call the world is the shadow
of that substance
which you are...
Tran 1.335 4 I-this thought which is called I-is the
mould into which the
world is poured like melted wax.
Tran 1.335 6 I-this thought which is called I-is the
mould into which the
world is poured like melted wax. The mould is invisible, but the world
betrays the shape of the mould.
Tran 1.342 19 ...[Society] saith, Whoso goes to walk
alone, accuses the
whole world;...
Tran 1.345 21 In looking at the class of counsel...and
at the matronage of
the land...one asks, Where are they who represented genius, virtue, the
invisible and heavenly world, to these?
Tran 1.347 24 ...[the Transcendentalists'] solitary and
fastidious manners
not only withdraw them from the conversation, but from the labors of
the
world;...
Tran 1.348 11 What right, cries the good world, has the
man of genius to
retreat from work, and indulge himself?
Tran 1.351 1 We [Transcendentalists] perish of rest and
rust: but we do not
like your work. Then, says the world, show me your own.
Tran 1.351 3 We [Transcendentalists] perish of rest and
rust: but we do not
like your work. Then, says the world, show me your own. We have none.
What will you do, then? cries the world.
Tran 1.352 3 ...to [Transcendentalists] it seems a very
easy matter to
answer the objections of the man of the world...
Tran 1.352 25 My life...takes no root in the deep
world;...
Tran 1.353 8 To him who looks at his life from these
moments of
illumination, it will seem that he skulks and plays a mean, shiftless
and
subaltern part in the world.
Tran 1.355 13 [Our virtue's respresentatives] are still
liable to that slight
taint of burlesque which in our strange world attaches to the zealot.
Tran 1.355 23 [Transcendentalists]...find an indemnity
in the inviolable
order of the world for the violated order and grace of man.
YA 1.371 1 A heterogeneous population crowding on all
ships from all
corners of the world to the great gates of North America...it cannot be
doubted that the legislation of this country should become more
catholic
and cosmopolitan than that of any other.
YA 1.372 26 The population of the world is a
conditional population;...
YA 1.377 24 [Trade] is a new agent in the world...
YA 1.380 11 ...the swelling cry of voices for the
education of the people
indicates that Government has other offices than those of banker and
executioner. Witness the new movements in the civilized world...

to feed the

over...
YA 1.387 19 In every age of the world there has been a
leading nation...
YA 1.388 1 The people, and the world, are now suffering
from the want of
religion and honor in its public mind.
YA 1.394 12 The English have...the proudest history of
the world;...
Hist 2.4 6 ...empire, republic, democracy, are merely
the application of [the
first man's] manifold spirit to the manifold world.
Hist 2.8 11 The world exists for the education of each
man.
Hist 2.8 21 [Each man] must...know that he is greater

out of the clouds
at midnight, has been present like an archangel at the creation of
light and

of a base prudence...
Prd1 2.223 21 ...culture, revealing the high origin of

Prd1 2.224 13 The true prudence limits this sensualism
by admitting the

Prd1 2.230 20 There is a certain fatal dislocation in

grasping
also at the pleasures of sense, without submitting to their law. That

Prd1 2.233 9 The scholar shames us by his bifold life.

OS 2.291 27 I do not wonder that these [simple] men go

Turk. For they are, in their own elevation, the fellows of kings, and

world, which thou

Cir 2.306 24 What I write, whilst I write it, seems the

Cir 2.309 15 Valor consists in the power of

any

Cir 2.310 4 Much more obviously is history and the

Int 2.346 27 Well assured that their speech is

thesis...
Art1 2.353 24 [Indian, Chinese and Mexican
idols]...were not fantastic, but
sprung from a necessity as deep as the world.
Art1 2.354 25 It is the habit of certain minds to give

fulness to...the word, they alight upon, and to make that for the time
the

superior use of things, whereby the world is a temple whose walls are
covered with emblems...of
the Deity,--in this, that there is no fact in nature which does not
carry the
whole sense of nature;...
Pt1 3.18 17 ...we use defects and deformities to a
sacred purpose, so
expressing our sense that the evils of the world are such only to the
evil eye.
Pt1 3.20 1 The world being thus put under the mind for

their own hue...
Exp 3.51 22 We see young men who owe us a new

Exp 3.85 11 ...I have not found that much was gained by

Worse, I observe that in the history of mankind there is never a
solitary example of

Exp 3.86 3 ...the true romance which the world exists
to realize will be the
transformation of genius into practical power.
Chr1 3.90 25 Man, ordinarily...only half attached, and
that awkwardly, to

Chr1 3.93 20 I see [in the natural merchant]...the
consciousness of being an
agent and playfellow of the original laws of the world.
Chr1 3.96 12 [A man] encloses the world...as a material
basis for his
character...
Chr1 3.110 6 I find it more credible, since it is
anterior information, that
one man should know heaven, as the Chinese say, than that so many men
should know the world.
Chr1 3.112 10 It was a tradition of the ancient world
that no
metamorphosis could hide a god from a god;...
Chr1 3.113 18 Men write their names on the world as
they are filled with [the force of character].
Chr1 3.114 4 The history of those gods and saints which
the world has
written and then worshipped, are documents of character.
Chr1 3.115 24 ...when that love...which has vowed to

compliances, comes into our streets and houses,--only the pure and
aspiring

Mrs1 3.119 1 Half the world, it is said, knows not how
the other half live.
Mrs1 3.121 22 Comme il faut, is the Frenchman's
description of good

feelings of

Mrs1 3.123 7 ...that is a natural result of personal
force and love, that they
should possess and dispense the goods of the world.
Mrs1 3.124 17 The rulers of society must be up to the

Mrs1 3.125 17 A plentiful fortune is reckoned

Mrs1 3.131 11 We contemn in turn every other gift of
men of the world;...
Mrs1 3.132 22 ...any deference to some eminent man or
woman of the

Mrs1 3.133 12 There will always be in society certain
persons...whose

Madame de Stael, was wont, when he found himself observed, to discharge
his face of all

Mrs1 3.138 27 Moral qualities rule the world...
Mrs1 3.141 23 England...furnished, in the beginning of
the present century, a good model of that genius which the world loves,
in Mr. Fox...
Mrs1 3.145 10 What if the false gentleman almost bows
the true out of the
world?
Mrs1 3.149 11 ...by the moral quality radiating from
his countenance [a

equal
the majesty of the world.

England that...the New Yorker or Pennsylvanian who modestly laments the
disadvantage of a new country, log-huts and savages, is surprised by
the

account all the world out of England a heap of rubbish.
ET9 5.147 10 ...I am afraid that English nature is so
rank and aggressive as

more furious man in the world, danger in fight never disturbs him more
than just to make him civil...
Cour 7.274 6 There are ever appearing in the world men
who, almost as
soon as they are born, take a bee-line to the rack of the inquisitor...
Cour 7.274 24 Sacred courage indicates that a man loves
an idea better
than all things in the world;...
Cour 7.275 5 [The man with sacres courage] wishes to
break every yoke all
over the world which hinders his brother from acting after his thought.
Suc 7.283 16 Our political constitution is the hope of
the world...
Suc 7.283 18 ...we value ourselves on all these feats.
'T is the way of the
world;...
Suc 7.287 23 These boasted arts are of very recent
origin. They...do not
really add to our stature. The greatest men of the world have managed
not
to want them.
Suc 7.288 2 These [boasted arts] are local
conveniences, but how easy to go
now to parts of the world where not only all these arts are wanting,
but
where they are despised.
Suc 7.291 4 There was a wise man...Michel Angelo, who
writes thus of
himself:...I began to understand that the promises of this world are
for the
most part vain phantoms...
Suc 7.291 26 ...whilst this self-truth is essential to
the exhibition of the
world and to the growth and glory of each mind, it is rare to find a
man who
believes his own thought...
Suc 7.292 20 ...because we cannot shake off from our
shoes this dust of
Europe and Asia, the world seems to be born old...
Suc 7.296 21 The light by which we see in this world
comes out from the
soul of the observer.
Suc 7.300 7 The world is not made up to the eye of
figures, that is, only
half;...
Suc 7.300 11 How that element [color] washes the
universe with its
enchanting waves! The sculptor had ended his work, and behold a new
world of dream-like glory.
Suc 7.300 16 [Color] clothes the skeleton world with
space, variety and
glow.
Suc 7.300 23 The fundamental fact in our metaphysic
constitution is the
correspondence of man to the world...
Suc 7.301 5 If we follow this hint [of correspondence]
into our intellectual
education, we shall find that it is...not new dogmas, and a logical
exposition
of the world, that are our first need;...
Suc 7.302 8 The world is enlarged for us, not by new
objects...
Suc 7.306 10 The world is always opulent...
Suc 7.311 12 There is an external life, which

world...
Suc 7.312 2 ...[this tranquil, well-founded,
wide-seeing soul] lies in the sun

OA 7.313 21 The world has overmuch of pain,--/ If
Nature give me joy
again,/ Of such deceit I'll not complain./
OA 7.318 1 Saadi found in a mosque at Damascus an old
Persian of a
hundred and fifty years, who was dying, and was saying to himself, I
said, coming into the world by birth, I will enjoy myself for a few
moments.
OA 7.327 6 Michel Angelo's head is full...of
architectural dreams, until a
hundred stone-masons can lay them in courses of travertine. There is
the
like tempest in every good head in which some great benefit for the
world
is planted.
OA 7.328 5 In a world so charged and sparkling with
power, a man does
not live long and actively without costly additions of experience...
OA 7.332 23 [John Adams said] I have lived now nearly a
century (he was
ninety in the following October); a long, harassed and distracted life.
I said, The world thinks a good deal of joy has been mixed with it.
OA 7.332 25 The world does not know, [John Adams]
replied, how much
toil, anxiety and sorrow I have suffered.
PI 8.6 4 ...we see...that the secret cords or laws show
their well-known
virtue through every variety...and the interest is gradually
transferred from
the forms to the lurking method. This hint...upsets...the common sense
side
of religion and literature, which are all founded on low nature,--on
the
clearest and most economical mode of administering the material world,
considered as final.
PI 8.8 4 Anatomy, osteology, exhibit arrested or
progessive ascent in each
kind; the lower pointing to the higher forms, the higher to the
highest...as if
the whole animal world were only a Hunterian museum to exhibit the
genesis of mankind.
PI 8.9 17 The world is an immense picture-book of every
passage in human
life.
PI 8.11 22 ...the aptness with which a river, a flower,
a bird, fire, day or
night, can express [man's] fortunes, is as if the world were only a
disguised
man...
PI 8.14 21 This belief that the higher use of the
material world is to furnish
us types or pictures to express the thoughts of the mind, is carried to
its
logical extreme by the Hindoos...
PI 8.14 26 ...[the Hindoos]...have made it the central
doctrine of their
religion that what we call Nature, the external world, has no real
existence...
PI 8.19 22 ...Poets are standing transporters, whose
employment consists... in producing apparent imitations of unapparent
natures, and inscribing
things unapparent in the apparent fabrication of the world;...
PI 8.19 23 ...the world exists for thought...
PI 8.20 20 The world realizes the mind.
PI 8.23 8 The world is thoroughly anthropomorphized...
PI 8.30 5 When [the poet] sings, the world listens with
the assurance that
now a secret of God is to be spoken.
PI 8.31 18 To the poet the world is virgin soil;...
PI 8.31 24 [The poet] affirms the applicability of the
ideal law to...the
present knot of affairs. Parties, lawyers and men of the world will
invariably dispute such an application, as romantic and dangerous;...
PI 8.33 27 If your subject do not appear to you the
flower of the world at
this moment, you have not rightly chosen it.
PI 8.35 14 The test of the poet is the power to take
the passing day...and
hold it up to a divine reason, till he sees it...to be related to
astronomy and
history and the eternal order of the world.
PI 8.40 26 Now at this rare elevation above his usual
sphere, [the poet] has
come into new circulations, the marrow of the world is in his bones...
PI 8.41 7 These fine fruits of judgment, poesy and
sentiment, when...the
world is ripe for them, know as well as coarser how to feed and
replenish
themselves;...
PI 8.41 12 The balance of the world is kept...
PI 8.52 2 With...the first strain of a song, we quit
the world of common
sense...
PI 8.52 14 ...when we rise into the world of
thought...speech refines into
order and harmony.
PI 8.53 4 The poet, like a delighted boy, brings you
heaps of rainbow-bubbles... spherical as the world, instead of a few
drops of soap and water.
PI 8.56 5 Perhaps this dainty style of poetry is not
producible to-day, any
more than a right Gothic cathedral. It belonged to a time and taste
which is
not in the world.
PI 8.61 12 [The voice said to Sir Gawaine] Whilst I
served King Arthur, I
was well known by you, and by other barons, but because I have left the
court, I am...put in forgetfulness, which I ought not to be if faith
reigned in
the world.
PI 8.61 23 Ah, sir, said Merlin [to Sir
Gawaine]...never other person will be
able to discover this place...neither shall I ever go out from hence,
for in the
world there is no such strong tower as this wherein I am confined;...
PI 8.61 28 Ah, sir, said Merlin [to Sir
Gawaine]...neither shall I ever go out
from hence, for in the world there is no such strong tower as this
wherein I
am confined; and it is...made by enchantment so strong that it can
never be
demolished while the world lasts;...
PI 8.62 7 How, Merlin, my good friend, said Sir Gawain,
are you restrained
so strongly that you cannot...make yourself visible to me; how can this
happen, seeing that you are the wisest man in the world?
PI 8.62 27 Now then go in the name of God [said
Merlin], who will protect
and save the King Arthur, and the realm of Logres, and you also, as the
best
knights who are in the world.
PI 8.63 19 There is something...the eminent scholars of
England, historians
and reviewers, romancers and poets included, might deny and blaspheme
it,--which is setting us and them aside and the whole world also, and
planting itself.
PI 8.64 7 Is not poetry the little chamber in the brain
where is generated the
explosive force which, by gentle shocks, sets in action the
intellectual
world?
PI 8.64 20 Bring us...poetry which tastes the world and
reports of it...
PI 8.64 21 Bring us...poetry which tastes the world and
reports of it, upbuilding the world again in the thought;...
PI 8.65 17 In the world of letters how few commanding
oracles!
PI 8.66 15 I have heard that there is a hope which
precedes and must
precede all science of the visible or the invisible world;...
PI 8.66 27 A good poem...goes about the world offering
itself to reasonable
men...
PI 8.69 2 Vexatious to find poets, who are by
excellence the thinking and
feeling of the world, deficient in truth of intellect and of affection.
PI 8.69 14 The book [Goethe's Faust]...stands unhappily
related to the
whole modern world;...
PI 8.71 17 The poet is representative...in him the
world projects a scribe's
hand and writes the adequate genesis.

SA 8.90 12 The life of these persons was conducted in
the same calm and
affirmative manner as their discourse. Life with them was...by no means

SA 8.93 15 Shenstone gave no bad account of this

his description of the French woman: There is a quality in which no

PPo 8.246 1 The world is a bride superbly dressed;-/

PPo 8.247 6 That hardihood and self-equality of every

PPo 8.250 12 ...if you mistake [Hafiz] for a low

Themselves in the

overlook the fact that the world is only his teacher...
Edc1 10.128 4 Here is a world pierced and belted with
natural laws...
Edc1 10.130 6 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. Do we not see how amazingly for this end man is
fitted to the world?
Edc1 10.131 26 ...[man] is to be the stalwart...Newton,
of the physic, metaphysic and ethics of the design of the world.
Edc1 10.132 7 Whilst thus the world exists for the
mind;...it becomes the
office of a just education to awaken [man] to the knowledge of this
fact.
Edc1 10.132 10 ...whilst thus the man is ever invited
inward into shining
realms of knowledge and power by the shows of the world...it becomes
the
office of a just education to awaken him to the knowledge of this fact.
Edc1 10.137 1 Nature, when she sends a new mind into
the world, fills it
beforehand with a desire for that which she wishes it to know and do.
Edc1 10.142 15 ...if it is from eternity a settled fact
that [the solitary man] and society shall be nothing to each other, why
need he...make wry faces to
keep up a freshman's seat in the fine world?
Edc1 10.144 26 This is the perpetual romance of new
life, the invasion of
God into the old dead world...
Edc1 10.149 19 ...in literature,the young man who has
taste...for noble
thoughts...forgets all the world for the more learned friend...
Edc1 10.150 18 ...the youth of genius...are...not men
of the world...
Edc1 10.153 27 ...the whole world is needed for the
tuition of each pupil.
Edc1 10.154 23 ...in this world of hurry and
distraction, who can wait for
the returns of reason...
Edc1 10.158 15 If a child [in the school] happens to
show that he knows
any fact...that interests him and you, hush all the classes and
encourage him
to tell it so that all may hear. Then you have made your school-room
like
the world.
Edc1 10.159 3 The beautiful nature of the world has
here blended your
happiness with your power.
Supl 10.166 20 I...am content that [my eyes] should see
the real world...
Supl 10.170 25 Men of the world value truth, in
proportion to their ability;...
Supl 10.173 14 The expressors are the gods of the
world...
Supl 10.173 18 The expressors are the gods of the
world, but the men
whom these expressors revere are the solid, balanced, undemonstrative
citizens, who make the reserved guard, the central sense, of the world.
Supl 10.177 15 ...the diamond and the pearl, which are
only accidental and
secondary in their use and value to us, are proper to the Oriental
world.
SovE 10.185 7 ...presently...a new perception opens,
and [the man down in
Nature] is made a citizen of the world of souls...
SovE 10.186 16 ...when I say that the world is made up
of moral forces, these are not separate.
SovE 10.187 5 The geologic world is chronicled by the
growing ripeness of
the strata from lower to higher...
SovE 10.187 16 The civil history of men might be traced
by the successive
meliorations as marked in higher moral generalizations;...at last came
the
day when...the nerves of the world were electrified by the proclamation
that
all men are born free and equal.
SovE 10.188 16 When we trace from the beginning, that
ferocity has uses; only so are the conditions of the then world met...
SovE 10.191 23 Man...does not see that he only is real,
and the world his
mirror and echo.
SovE 10.193 6 All the tyrants and proprietors and
monopolists of the world
in vain set their shoulders to heave the bar [of Divine justice].
SovE 10.195 2 The fiery soul said: Let me be a blot on
this fair world, the
obscurest, the loneliest sufferer, with one proviso,-that I know it is
his
agency.
SovE 10.198 18 From the obscurity and casualty of those
which I know, I
infer the obscurity and casualty of the like balm and consolation and
immortality in a thousand homes which I do not know, all round the
world.
SovE 10.198 22 ...I see not why to these simple
instincts, simple yet grand, all the heights and transcendencies of
virtue and of enthusiasm are not
open. There is power enough in them to move the world;...
SovE 10.199 20 When I talked with an ardent missionary,
and pointed out
to him that his creed found no support in my experience, he replied, It
is not
so in your experience, but is so in the other world. I answer: Other
world! there is no other world.
SovE 10.199 21 When I talked with an ardent missionary,
and pointed out
to him that his creed found no support in my experience, he replied, It
is not
so in your experience, but is so in the other world. I answer: Other
world! there is no other world.
SovE 10.200 25 You have meditated in silent wonder on
your existence in
this world.
SovE 10.204 1 There was in the last century a serious
habitual reference to
the spiritual world...
SovE 10.204 9 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.
SovE 10.211 7 'T is very shallow to say that cotton, or
iron, or silver and
gold are kings of the world;...
Prch 10.217 10 ...a restlessness and dissatisfaction in
the religious world
marks that we are in a moment of transition;...
Prch 10.221 16 Unlovely, nay, frightful, is the
solitude of the soul which is
without God in the world.
Prch 10.223 22 I see that sensible men and
conscientious men all over the
world were of one religion...
Prch 10.224 9 ...all that saints and churches and
Bibles from the beginning
of the world have aimed at, is to suppress this impertinent
surface-action...
Prch 10.224 16 ...the torpid heart gives no oracle.
When that wakes, it will
revolutionize the world.
Prch 10.232 23 ...the gigantic evils which seem to us
so mischievous and
so incurable will at last end themselves and rid the world of their
presence...
Prch 10.236 18 It is true that which they say of our
New England oestrum, which...drives us like mad through the world.
Prch 10.238 4 The open secret of the world is the art
of subliming a private
soul with inspirations from the great and public and divine Soul from
which
we live.
MoL 10.241 21 [The scholar] is too good for the
world;...
MoL 10.243 5 All the world took off their coats and
worked in shirt-sleeves [in California].
MoL 10.246 22 There is an oracle current in the world,
that nations die by
suicide.
MoL 10.247 17 [The scholar] knows that the world is
always equal to
itself;...
MoL 10.248 23 You [scholars] are here as the carriers
of the power of
Nature...as...Swedenborg, with his spiritual world.
MoL 10.248 26 You [scholars] are carriers of ideas
which are to fashion the
mind and so the history of this breathing world, so as they shall be,
and not
otherwise.
MoL 10.249 16 ...let us have masculine and divine men,
formidable
lawgivers...who warp the churches of the world from their traditions...
MoL 10.252 9 ...the scholar...defers to the men of this
world.
MoL 10.252 14 All that the world admires comes from
within.
MoL 10.252 16 AThought...distributes the work of the
world;...
MoL 10.255 9 ...in the narrow walls of a human
heart...the world of
morals...found room to exist.
Schr 10.262 21 Stung by this intellectual conscience,
we go to measure our
tasks as scholars...and our sadness is suddenly overshone by a sympathy
of
blessing. Beauty...comes in and puts a new face on the world.
Schr 10.263 23 [Intellect] is the power that makes the
world incarnated in
man...
Schr 10.265 18 ...at a single strain of a bugle out of
a grove...the poet
replaces all this cowardly Self-denial and God-denial of the literary
class
with the conviction that to one poetic success the world will surrender
on its
knees.
Schr 10.268 1 I do not wish to see you...taking hold of
the world with the
tips of your fingers...
Schr 10.269 13 ...what alone in the history of this
world interests all men in
proportion as they are men? What but truth...
Schr 10.271 26 ...the world is made of thickened light
and arrested
electricity...
Schr 10.272 21 [The scholar] is the attorney of the
world...
Schr 10.275 25 The descent of genius into talents is
part of the natural
order and history of the world.
Schr 10.280 21 The objection of men of the world to
what they call the
morbid intellectual tendency in our young men at present, is...that the
idealistic views unfit their children for business in their sense...
Schr 10.284 13 [The scholar] will have to answer
certain questions, which... cannot be staved off. For all men, all
women...the invisible world, are the
interrogators...
Schr 10.285 10 [Men of talent] go out into some camp of
their own, and
noisily persuade society that this thing which they do is the needful
cause of
all men. ... But the world is wide, nobody will go there after
to-morrow.
Plu 10.294 20 ...[Plutarch's] books were never known to
the world in their
own Greek tongue...
Plu 10.299 10 ...[Plutarch] is...enough a man of the
world to give even the
Devil his due...
Plu 10.307 5 Whilst we expect this awe and reverence of
the spiritual
power from the philosopher in his closet, we praise it in the man of
the
world;...
Plu 10.311 27 Seneca was still more a man of the world
than Plutarch;...
Plu 10.318 15 ...wherever the Cid is relished, the
legends of...Bonaparte, and Walter Scott's Chronicles in prose or
verse,-there will Plutarch...sit
as...laureate of the ancient world.
LLNE 10.323 4 Of old things all are over old,/ Of good
things none are
good enough;-/ We 'll show that we can help to frame/ A world of other
stuff./ Rob Roy's Grave. Wordsworth.
LLNE 10.325 15 There are always two parties, the party
of the Past and the
party of the Future; the Establishment and the Movement. At times...the
schism runs under the world and appears in Literature, Philosophy,
Church, State and social customs.
LLNE 10.326 15 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 10.352 24 There is an order in which in a sound
mind the faculties
always appear, and which, according to the strength of the individual,
they
seek to realize in the surrounding world.
LLNE 10.353 17 Before such a man [as Plato or Christ]
the whole world
becomes Fourierized or Christized or humanized...
LLNE 10.354 6 It argued singular courage, the adoption
of Fourier's
system, to even a limited extent, with his books lying before the world
only
defended by the thin veil of the French language.
LLNE 10.357 14 [Thoreau said] I have never got over my
surprise that I
should have been born into the most estimable place in all the world...
EzRy 10.394 20 This intimate knowledge of
families...and still more, his
sympathy, made [Ezra Ripley] incomparable...in his exhortations and
prayers. He...said on the instant the best things in the world.
MMEm 10.404 10 [Mary Moody Emerson] writes to her
nephew Charles
Emerson, in 1833... If I had been in aught but dreary deserts, I should
have
idolized my friends, despised the world and been haughty.
MMEm 10.407 13 This seems a world rather of trying each
others'
dispositions than of enjoying each others' virtues.
MMEm 10.408 11 [Mary Moody Emerson] is...a
Bible...wherein are
sentences of condemnation, promises and covenants of love that make
foolish the wisdom of the world with the power of God.
MMEm 10.416 7 I [Mary Moody Emerson] felt, till above
twenty yeard
old, as though Christianity were as necessary to the world as
existence;...
MMEm 10.428 9 The sickness of the last week was fine
medicine; pain
disintegrated the spirit, or became spiritual. I [Mary Moody Emerson]
rose,-I felt that I...had promised [God] in youth that to be a blot on
this
fair world, at His command, would be acceptable.
MMEm 10.430 23 ...one secret sentiment of virtue...will
tell, in the world
of spirits, of God's immediate presence...
MMEm 10.431 16 While I [Mary Moody Emerson] am
sympathizing in
the government of God over the world, perhaps I lose nearer views.
SlHr 10.437 5 ...this is the pregnant season, when our
old Roman, Samuel
Hoar, has chosen to quit this world.
SlHr 10.444 5 ...how solitary [Samuel Hoar] looked, day
by day in the
world, this man so revered, this man of public life...
Thor 10.453 9 ...[Thoreau] was very competent to live
in any part of the
world.
Thor 10.461 7 It was said of Plotinus that he was
ashamed of his body, and 't is very likely he had good reason for
it,-that his body was a bad
servant, and he had not skill in dealing with the material world...
Thor 10.464 12 ...there was an excellent wisdom in
[Thoreau]...which
showed him the material world as a means and symbol.
Thor 10.464 19 ...[Thoreau] said, one day, The other
world is all my art;...
Thor 10.469 6 I think [Thoreau's] fancy for referring
everything to the
meridian of Concord...was...a playful expression of his
conviction...that the
best place for each is where he stands. He expressed it once in this
wise: I
think nothing is to be hoped from you, if this bit of mould under your
feet is
not sweeter to you to eat than any other in this world, or in any
world.
Thor 10.480 11 ...what were you [Thoreau] sent into the
world for, but to
add this observation?
Thor 10.481 2 [Thoreau's] study of Nature...inspired
his friends with
curiosity to see the world through his eyes...
Thor 10.483 25 A little thought is sexton to all the
world.
Thor 10.485 7 ...[Thoreau] had in a short life
exhausted the capabilities of
this world;...
Carl 10.490 4 [Carlyle] talks like a very unhappy
man...meditating how to
undermine and explode the whole world of nonsense which torments him.
LS 11.7 25 ...I cannot bring myself to believe that in
the use of such an
expression [This do in remembrance of me] [Jesus] looked beyond the
living generation...and meant to impose a memorial feast upon the whole
world.
LS 11.15 5 Elsewhere [St. Paul] tells [the primitive
Church] that at that
time [the second coming of Christ], the world would be burnt up with
fire...
LS 11.15 13 Elsewhere [St. Paul] tells [the primitive
Church] that at that
time [the second coming of Christ], the world would be burnt up with
fire... so slow were the disciples...to receive the idea which we
receive, that his
second coming was...the dominion of his religion in the hearts of men,
to be
extended gradually over the whole world.
LS 11.16 18 But it is said: Admit that the rite [the
Lord's Supper] was not
designed to be perpetual. What harm doth it? Here it stands, generally
accepted...by the Christian world...
LS 11.22 18 The whole world was full of idols and
ordinances.
LS 11.24 18 I am content that [the Lord's Supper] stand
to the end of the
world...
HDC 11.38 8 ...after the bargain [for Concord] was
concluded, Mr. Simon
Willard, pointing to the four corners of the world, declared that they
had
bought three miles from that place, east, west, north and south.
HDC 11.39 20 A poor servant [in Concord], that is to
possess but fifty
acres, may afford to give more wood for fire as good as the world
yields, than many noblemen in England.
HDC 11.40 11 [The Concord settler's pastor said] If we
look to number, we
are the fewest;...if to wealth and riches, we are the poorest of all
the people
of God through the whole world.
HDC 11.43 26 The nature of man and his condition in the
world, for the
first time within the period of certain history, controlled the
formation of
the State [in Massachusetts].
LVB 11.93 17 You [Van Buren], sir, will bring down that
renowned chair
in which you sit into infamy if your seal is set to this intrument of
perfidy [the relocation of the Cherokees]; and the name of this
nation...will stink to
the world.
LVB 11.95 12 ...the steps of this crime [the relocation
of the Cherokees] follow each other...at such fatally quick time, that
the millions of virtuous
citizens...must shut their eyes until the last howl and wailing of
these
tormented villages and tribes shall afflict the ear of the world.
EWI 11.102 8 From the earliest time, the negro has been
an article of
luxury to the commercial nations. So it had been, down to the day that
has
just dawned on the world.
EWI 11.102 16 These men [negro slaves]...producers of
comfort and
luxury for the civilized world...I am heart-sick when I read how they
came
there, and how they are kept there.
EWI 11.104 23 ...a good man or woman...once in a while
saw these injuries [to West Indian slaves] and had the indiscretion to
tell of them. The horrid
story ran and flew; the winds blew it all over the world.
EWI 11.111 21 ...when...some Quakers, or Moravians, and
Wesleyan and
Baptist missionaries...had been moved to come [the the West Indies] and
cheer the poor victim with the hope of some reparation, in a future
world, of the wrongs he suffered in this, these missionaries were
persecuted by the
planters...
EWI 11.124 15 The sugar [the negroes] raised was
excellent: nobody tasted
blood in it. The coffee was fragrant;...the cotton clothed the world.
EWI 11.125 9 The moral sense is always supported by the
permanent
interest of the parties. Else, I know not how, in our world, any good
would
ever get done.
EWI 11.143 6 We do not wish a world of bugs or of
birds;...
EWI 11.144 8 ...now, the arrival in the world of such
men as Toussaint, and the Haytian heroes...outweighs in good omen all
the English and
American humanity.
EWI 11.144 13 ...now, the arrival in the world of such
men as Toussaint... outweighs in good omen all the English and American
humanity. The anti-slavery
of the whole world is dust in the balance before this...
EWI 11.145 10 The civility of the world has reached
that pitch that [the
black race's] more moral genius is becoming indispensable...
War 11.151 6 It has been a favorite study of modern
philosophy...to watch
the rising of a thought in one man's mind...its expansion and general
reception, until it publishes itself to the world by destroying the
existing
laws and institutions...
War 11.154 15 ...[war] is at this moment the delight of
half the world...

either discovered or brought certain intelligence of all the rich
places of the

War 11.162 15 All admit that [peace] would be the best
policy, if the world
were all a church...
War 11.162 21 ...we never make much account of
objections which merely
respect the actual state of the world at this moment...
War 11.172 26 We are affected...by the appearance of a
few rich and wilful
gentlemen who take their honor into their own keeping, defy the
world...
War 11.173 6 [Shakespeare's lords] are not shams, but
the substance of

FSLC 11.185 24 The crisis [over the Fugitive Slave Law]
is interesting as
it shows the self-protecting nature of the world and of Divine laws.
FSLC 11.185 25 It is the law of the world,-as much
immorality as there
is, so much misery.
FSLC 11.189 7 I thought that every time a man goes back
to his own
thoughts, these angels receive him, talk with him, and that, in the
best
hours, he is uplifted in virtue of this essence, into a peace and into
a power
which the material world cannot give...
FSLC 11.189 21 I thought it was this fair
mystersy...which made the basis
of human society, and of law; and that to pretend anything else, as
that the
acquisition of property was the end of living, was...to make the world
a
greasy hotel...
FSLC 11.193 20 Will you...blame the air for rushing in
where a vacuum is
made or the boiler for exploding under pressure of steam? These facts
are
after laws of the world...
FSLC 11.208 7 ...the manifest interest of the slave
states; the religious
effort of the free states; the public opinion of the world;-all join to

FSLC 11.209 14 Every man in the land will give a week's
work to dig
away this accursed mountain of sorrow [slavery] once and forever out of
the world.
FSLC 11.211 11 ...these two, Greece and Judaea, furnish

how to

JBB 11.269 21 Nothing can resist the sympathy which all
elevated minds

world;...
JBS 11.279 1 ...I incline to accept [John Brown's] own
account of the
matter at Charlestown, which makes the date a little older, when he

EPro 11.320 17 The government has assured itself of the

EPro 11.325 22 The malignant cry of the Secession press

as to [the Emancipation Proclamation's] efficiency and correctness of

things to names, for these were men,/ Were unitarians of the united
world/...
EdAd 11.382 22 ...[the elements] shove us from them,

what to our griping toil is due;/ But the sweet affluence of love and

world beloved
and loved,/ The nectar and ambrosia are withheld./
Koss 11.399 19 ...everything great and excellent in the

Koss 11.400 18 ...it is not those who live idly in the

can
claim to explain the sentiment of Washington.
Wom 11.408 13 The part [women] play...in the care of
the young and the
tuition of older children, is their organic office in the world.
Wom 11.409 8 It was Burns's remark when he first came
to Edinburgh that
between the men of rustic life and the polite world he observed little
difference;...
Wom 11.409 15 I like women, said a clear-headed man of
the world; they
are so finished.
Wom 11.414 10 ...in every remarkable religious
development in the world, women have taken a leading part.
Wom 11.415 26 ...another important step [for Woman] was
made by the
doctrine of Swedenborg, a sublime genius who gave a scientific
exposition
of the part played severally by man and woman in the world...
Wom 11.416 23 ...the times are marked by the new
attitude of Woman; urging, by argument and by association, her rights
of all kinds,-in short, to
one half of the world;...
Wom 11.417 22 ...it would be easy for women to
retaliate in kind, by
painting men from the dogs and gorillas that have worn our shape. That
they have not, is an eulogy on their taste and self-respect. The good
easy
world took the joke which it liked.
Wom 11.417 27 There are plenty of people who believe
that the world is
governed by men of dark complexions...
Wom 11.418 4 There are plenty of people who...do not
see the use of
contemplative men, or how ignoble would be the world that wanted them.
Wom 11.422 4 For the other point, of [women] not
knowing the world, and
aiming at abstract right without allowance for circumstances,-that is
not a
disqualification, but a qualification [for voting].
RBur 11.439 18 At the first announcement...that the

festival.
RBur 11.440 11 ...Robert Burns...represents in the mind
of men to-day that
great uprising of the middle class...which, not in governments so much
as in
education and social order, has changed the face of the world.
Shak1 11.448 4 [Shakespeare's] fame is settled on the

Shak1 11.448 9 Wherever there are men, and in the

the world.
Shak1 11.448 11 ...Shakspeare taught us that the little

Shak1 11.450 25 You shall never find in this world the

Shak1 11.452 2 There are periods fruitful of great men;

FRep 11.512 4 Flaxman, with his Greek taste, selected

PLT 12.11 11 Let me have your attention to this
dangerous subject [the
laws and powers of the Intellect], which we will cautiously approach on
different sides of this dim and perilous lake, so attractive, so
delusive. We

still
uncertain whether the pool has been sounded or not.
PLT 12.12 11 I confess to a little distrust of that
completeness of system
which metaphysicians are apt to affect. 'T is the gnat grasping the

PLT 12.13 5 Metaphysics is dangerous as a single

momentary eddy in

of the

PLT 12.36 26 In its lower function, when it deals with
the apparent world, [Instinct] is common sense.
PLT 12.38 16 The thought, the doctrine, the right
hitherto not affirmed is
published...in conversation...of men of the world...
PLT 12.39 17 ...this is the measure of all intellectual
power among men... the power of genius to hurl a new individual into
the world.
PLT 12.41 12 The first fact is the fate in every mental
perception,-that my
seeing this or that, and that I see it so or so, is as much a fact in
the natural

the control of these [higher] states;...you will do what now the muses

II 12.80 16 We do not yet trust the unknown powers of

which

II 12.80 20 Whence came all these tools, inventions,
books, laws, parties, kingdoms? Out of the invisible world, through a
few brains.
II 12.81 23 Whether Whiggery, or Chartism, or Church,

dramatically pictured and rehearsed before him.
Mem 12.93 4 [Memory] is a scripture written day by day
from the birth of
the man; all its records full of meanings which open as he lives on,
explaining each other, explaining the world to him...
Mem 12.96 21 ...another man's memory is the history of
science and art
and civility and thought; and still another deals with laws and
perceptions
that are the theory of the world.
Mem 12.99 11 ...there is a wild memory in children and
youth which makes

beginning of

Mem 12.100 3 ...a principle of the reason will thrill

MLit 12.318 10 [The educated and susceptible] betray
this impatience [with the poverty of our dogmas of religion and
