More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

And what does reward virtue? you think the communist commissar rewards virtue? you think a hitler rewards virtue? you think, excuse me, if you'll pardon me, american presidents reward virtue? do they choose their appointees on the basis of the virtue of the people appointed or on the basis of their political clout?

Lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is impotent. the terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue.

Virtue is the highest reward. virtue truly goes before all things. liberty, safety, life, property, parents, country, and children are protected and preserved. virtue has all things in herself; he who has virtue has all things that are good attending him. [lat., virtus praemium est optimum. virtus omnibus rebus anteit profecto. libertas, salus, vita, res, parentes, patria et prognati tutantur, servantur; virtus omnia in se habet; omnia assunt bona, quem penes est vertus.]

Is there no virtue among us? if there be not, we are in a wretched situation. no theoretical checks-no form of government can render us secure. to suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea, if there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. so that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

How hard it is, sometimes, to trust the evidence of one's senses! how reluctantly the mind consents to reality.

I find it impossible to subscribe to a philosophy that believes that the destruction of human life is a legitimate solution to a problem that is mostly social, economic and psychological,... in reality, most women 'choose' abortion because they believe they have no other choice.
