More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Weather is real. it is absolutely real: when it rains, it rains – you get wet, there is no question about it. it is also true about weather that you can’t control it; you can’t say if i wish hard enough it won’t rain. it is equally true that if the weather is bad one day it will get better and what i had to learn was to treat my moods like the weather.
Real Rain Weather
Any rainy summer morning, of course, has the seeds of gloomy alienation sown in. but a rainy summer morning far from home - when your personal clouds don't move but hang - can easily produce the feeling of the world as seen from the grave. this i know.

"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

In christ we see the strength of achievement, and the strength of endurance. he moved with a calm majesty, like the sun. the bloody sweat, and the crown of thorns, and the cross, were full in his eyes; but he was obedient unto death. in his perfect self-sacrifice we see the perfection of strength; in the love that prompted it we see the perfection of beauty. this combination of self-sacrifice and love must be commenced in every christian; and when it shall be in its spirit complete in him, then will he also be perfect in strength and beauty.
Christian Eye Sacrifice
Because god is not only infinitely greater and more excellent than all other being, but he is the head of the universal system of existence; the foundation and fountain of all being and all beauty; from whom all is perfectly derived, and on whom all is most absolutely and perfectly dependent; of whom, and through whom, and to whom is all being and all perfection; and whose being and beauty are, as it were, the sum and comprehension of all existence and excellence: much more than the sun is the fountain and summary comprehension of all the light and brightness of the day.
Light Perfection Excellence
The christian religion and masonry have one and the same common origin: both are derived from the worship of the sun. the difference between their origin is, that the christian religion is a parody on the worship of the sun, in which they put a man whom they call christ, in the place of the sun, and pay him the same adoration which was originally paid to the sun.
