I unsettle all things.

At present, man applies to nature but half his force. He works on the world with his understanding alone. He lives in it, and masters it by a penny-wisdom; and he that works most in it, is but a half-man, and whilst his arms are strong and his digestion good, his mind is imbruted, and he is a selfish savage.

Nature is reckless of the individual. When she has points to carry, she carries them.

The good lawyer is not the man who has an eye to every side and angle of contingency, and qualifies all his qualifications, but who throws himself on your part so heartily, that he can get you out of a scrape.

The "times," "the age" what is that, but a few profound persons and a few active persons who epitomize the times?

We can only obey our own polarity.
