Let us draw a lesson from nature, which always works by short ways. When the fruit is ripe, it falls.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever inly rejoices me and the heart apoints.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe gift, to be true, must be the flowing of the giver unto me, correspondent to my flowing unto him.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIf speculation tends thus to a terrific unity, in which all things are absorbed, action tends directly back to diversity. The first is the course or gravitation of mind; the second is the power of nature. Nature is manifold. The unity absorbs, and melts or reduces. Nature opens and creates. These two principles reappear and interpenetrate all things, all thought; the one, the many.
