More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man; it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. there is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Eye Dark Men
Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of god and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for spirit to know itself, to find itself, be for itself, and finally unite itself to itself; it is alienated and divided, but only so as to be able thus to find itself and return to itself...as existing in an individual form, this liberation is called 'i'; as developed to its totality, it is free spirit; as feeling, it is love; and as enjoyment, it is blessedness.
Love Struggle Heaven
There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul.
Wisdom Sea Sky
There is a spectacle more grand than the sea; it is heaven; there is a spectacle more grand than heaven; it is the conscience.
Character Sea Heaven
To despair over one's sins indicates that sin has become or wants to be internally consistent. it wants nothing to do with the good, does not want to be so weak as to listen occasionally to other talk. no, it insists on listening only to itself, on having dealings only with itself; it closes itself up within itself, indeed, locks itself inside one more inclosure, and protects itself against every attack or pursuit by the good by despairing over sin.
Listening Despair Doe
My life is not an apology, but a life. it is for itself and not for a spectacle. i much prefer that it should be of a lower strain, so it be genuine and equal, than that it should be glittering and unsteady.
