So shall we come to look at the world with new eyes. it shall answer the endless inquiry of the intellect, — what is truth? and of the affections, — what is good? by yielding itself passive to the educated will. ... build, therefore, your own world. as fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold its great proportions. a correspondent revolution in things will attend the influx of the spirit.

So Shall We Come To Look At

Ralph Waldo Emerson
So shall we come to look at the world with new eyes. it shall answer the endless inquiry of the intellect, — what is truth? and of the affections, — what is good? by yielding itself passive to the educated will. ... build, therefore, your own world. as fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold its great proportions. a correspondent revolution in things will attend the influx of the spirit.

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

First, what is a revolution? sometimes i'm inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word "revolution" loosely, without taking careful consideration [of] what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. when you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. you may devise another program. you may change your goal and you may change your mind.
Believe Mean Goal
Sin also carries on its war by entangling the affections and drawing them into an alliance against the mind. grace may be enthroned in the mind, but if sin controls the affections, it has seized a fort from which it will continually assault the soul. hence, as we shall see, mortification is chiefly directed to take place upon the affections.
