More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Christ represents originally: 1) men before god; 2) god for men; 3) men to man. similarly, money represents originally, in accordance with the idea of money: 1) private property for private property; 2) society for private property; 3) private property for society. but christ is alienated god and alienated man. god has value only insofar as he represents christ, and man has value only insofar as he represents christ. it is the same with money.

Against the vast majority of my countrymen, even at this moment, in the name of humanity and civilization, i protest against our share in the destruction of germany. a month ago europe was a peaceful comity of nations; if an englishman killed a german, he was hanged. now, if an englishman kills a german, or if a german kills an englishman, he is a patriot, who has deserved well of his country.

[thomas henry] huxley, i believe, was the greatest englishman of the nineteenth century—perhaps the greatest englishman of all time. when one thinks of him, one thinks inevitably of such men as goethe and aristotle. for in him there was that rich, incomparable blend of intelligence and character, of colossal knowledge and high adventurousness, of instinctive honesty and indomitable courage which appears in mankind only once in a blue moon. there have been far greater scientists, even in england, but there has never been a scientist who was a greater man.

The one thing that matters is the effort. it continues, whereas the end to be attained is but an illusion of the climber, as he fares on and on from crest to crest; and once the goal is reached it has no meaning.

Bad things are like waves. they're going to happen to you, and there's nothing you can do about it. they're part of life, like waves are a part of the ocean. if you're standing on the shoreline, you don't know when the waves are coming. but they'll come. you gotta make sure you get back to the surface, after every wave. that's all.

In his eyes shone the reflection of the most beautiful planet in the universe---a planet that is not too hot and not too cold; that has liquid water on the surface and where the gravity is just right for human beings and the atmosphere is perfect for them to breathe; where there are mountains and deserts and oceans and islands and forests and trees and birds and plants and animals and insects and people---lots and lots of people. where there is life. some of it, possibly, intelligent.

What world lies beyond that stormy sea i do not know, but every ocean has a distant shore, and i shall reach it.
