SovE 10.188 23 The wars which make history so dreary
have served the cause of truth and virtue. There is always an
instinctive sense of right...
SovE 10.189 4 ...a sublime confidence is fed at the
bottom of the heart that...an eternal, beneficent necessity is always
bringing things right;...
SovE 10.193 3 Secret retributions are always
restoring the level, when disturbed, of Divine justice.
SovE 10.209 1 ...Stoicism, always attractive to the
intellectual and cultivated, has now no temples...
Prch 10.223 14 I find myself always struck and
stimulated by a good anecdote, any trait of heroism...
Prch 10.230 1 The clergy are always in danger of
becoming wards and pensioners of the so-called producing classes.
Prch 10.230 27 There are always plenty of young,
ignorant people... wanting peremptorily instruction;...
Prch 10.234 26 ...though I observe the deafness to
counsel among men, yet the power of sympathy is always great;...
Prch 10.235 5 Great sweetness of temper neutralizes
such vast amounts of acid! As for position, the position is always the
same...
MoL 10.256 26 There is always the previous question,
How came you on that side?
Plu 10.296 3 Montesquieu...in his Pensees, declares,
I am always charmed with Plutarch;...
Plu 10.300 2 ...though Plutarch is as plain-spoken
[as Montaigne], his moral sentiment is always pure.
LLNE 10.325 11 There are always two parties, the
party of the Past and the party of the Future;...
LLNE 10.331 21 Let [Everett] rise to speak on what
occasion soever, a fact had always just transpired which composed, with
some other fact well known to the audience, the most pregnant and happy
coincidence.
LLNE 10.341 19 Margaret Fuller, George Ripley, Dr.
Convers Francis, Theodore Parker, Dr. Hedge, Mr. Brownson, James
Freeman Clarke, William H. Channing and many others...from time to time
spent an afternoon at each other's houses in a serious conversation.
With them was always one well-known form...
LLNE 10.354 18 [The Fourier marriage] was...ignorant
how serious and how moral [women's] nature always is;...
LLNE 10.357 24 ...[the Fourierists] were unconscious
prophets of a true state of society;...one which always establishes
itself for the sane soul...
LLNE 10.361 21 ...a few grave sanitary influences of
character were happily there [at Brook Farm], which, I was assured,
were always felt.
LLNE 10.362 8 Margaret Fuller...was often a guest [at
Brook Farm], and always in correspondence with her friends.
LLNE 10.364 23 Letters were always flying not only
from house to house [at Brook Farm], but from room to room.
LLNE 10.365 27 In practice it is always found that
virtue is occasional, spotty, and not linear or cubic.
EzRy 10.382 4 Always inclined to notice
ministers...[Ezra Ripley] had an ardent desire to be preacher of the
gospel.
EzRy 10.388 9 Right manly [Ezra Ripley] was, and the
manly thing he could always say.
EzRy 10.388 14 [Ezra Ripley] said, on parting, I wish
you and your brothers to come to this house as you have always done.
MMEm 10.400 16 [Mary Moody Emerson's] aunt and her
husband...were getting old, and the husband a shiftless, easy man.
There was...not always bread enough in the house.
MMEm 10.402 14 [Mary Moody Emerson's] early reading
was Milton, Young, Akenside, Samuel Clarke, Jonathan Edwards, and
always the Bible.
MMEm 10.408 14 Our Delphian [Mary Moody
Emerson]...could always be tamed by large and sincere conversation.
MMEm 10.420 16 Do I [Mary Moody Emerson] yearn to be
in Boston? 'T would fatigue, disappoint; I, who have so long despised
means, who have always found it a sort of rebellion to seek them?
MMEm 10.427 27 Oh how weary in youth-more so scarcely
now, not whenever I [Mary Moody Emerson] can breathe, as it seems, the
atmosphere of the Omnipresence: then...honors, pleasures, labors, I
always refuse...
SlHr 10.447 4 [Samuel Hoar] loved the dogmas and the
simple usages of his church; was always an honored and sometimes an
active member.
SlHr 10.447 16 [Samuel Hoar] was a model of those
formal but reverend manners which make what is called a gentleman of
the old school, so called under an impression that the style is passing
away, but which, I suppose, is an optical illusion, as there is always
a few more of the class remaining...
SlHr 10.447 17 [Samuel Hoar] was a model of those
formal but reverend manners which make what is called a gentleman of
the old school, so called under an impression that the style is passing
away, but which, I suppose, is an optical illusion, as there
is...always a few young men to whom these manners are native.
Thor 10.463 4 ...[Thoreau] seemed the only man of
leisure in town, always ready for any excursion that promised well...
Thor 10.467 12 [Thoreau] liked to speak of the
manners of the river...yet with exactness, and always to an observed
fact.
Thor 10.470 22 Presently [Thoreau] heard a note which
he called that of the night-warbler, a bird...which always, when he saw
it, was in the act of diving down into a tree or bush...
Thor 10.476 1 [Thoreau]...liked to throw every
thought into a symbol. The fact you tell is of no value, but only the
impression. For this reason his presence...always piqued the curiosity
to know more deeply the secrets of his mind.
LS 11.4 22 ...so far from the [Lord's] Supper being a
tradition in which men are fully agreed, there has always been the
widest room for difference of opinion upon this particular.
LS 11.24 27 [The pastoral office] has some [duties]
which it will always be my delight to discharge according to my
ability...
HDC 11.47 16 The moderator [of the New England
town-meeting] was the passive mouth-piece, and the vote of the town,
like the vane on the turret overhead...always turned by the last and
strongest breath.
HDC 11.61 18 When the Dutch, or the French, or the
English royalist disagreed with the [Massachusetts Bay] Colony, there
was always found a Dutch, or French, or tory party,-an earnest
minority,-to keep things from extremity.
LVB 11.90 1 The interest always felt in the
aboriginal population...has been heightened in regard to this tribe
[Cherokee].
EWI 11.141 11 On sight of these [African artifacts],
says Clarkson, many sublime thoughts seemed to rush at once into
[William Pitt's] mind, some of which he expressed; and hence appeared
to arise a project which was always dear to him, of the civilization of
Africa...
EWI 11.147 13 There is a blessed necessity by which
the interest of men is always driving them to the right;...
FSLC 11.180 13 ...Boston, whose citizens, intelligent
people in England told me they could always distinguish by their
culture among Americans;... Boston...must bow its ancient honor in the
dust...
FSLC 11.187 5 It is remarkable how rare in the
history of tyrants is an immoral law. Some color, some indirection was
always used.
FSLN 11.220 7 ...when a great man comes who knots up
into himself the opinions and wishes of the people, it is so much
easier to follow him as an exponent of this. He too is responsible;
they will not be. It will always suffice to say,-I followed him.
FSLN 11.225 24 ...in this country one sees that there
is always margin enough in the statute for a liberal judge to read one
way and a servile judge another.
FSLN 11.226 26 [Webster's 7th of March Speech] was
like the doleful speech falsely ascribed to the patriot Brutus: Virtue,
I have followed thee through life, and I find thee but a shadow. Here
was a question of an immoral law; a question agitated for ages, and
settled always in the same way by every great jurist, that an immoral
law cannot be valid.
FSLN 11.236 10 ...our education is...to know...that
divine sentiments which are always soliciting us are breathed into us

always be,-the worst life staked against the best.
AKan 11.258 22 That is the theory of the American
State, that it exists to execute the will of the citizens, is always
responsible to them...
AKan 11.258 23 That is the theory of the American
State, that it exists to execute the will of the citizens...and is
always to be changed when it does not.
AKan 11.259 13 I do not know any story so gloomy as
the politics of this country for the last twenty years, centralizing
ever more manifestly round one spring, and that a vast
crime...illustrating the fatal effects of a false position to...put the
best people always at a disadvantage;...
AKan 11.259 13 I do not know any story so gloomy as
the politics of this country for the last twenty years, centralizing
ever more manifestly round one spring, and that a vast crime...one
crime always present...
AKan 11.259 14 I do not know any story so gloomy as
the politics of this country for the last twenty years, centralizing
ever more manifestly round one spring, and that a vast crime...one
crime...always to be varnished over...
AKan 11.260 24 Are there no women in that [Southern]
country,-women, who always carry the conscience of a people?
TPar 11.291 27 ...every sound heart loves a
responsible person, one who... says one thing...always because he
must...
ACiv 11.310 1 ...it is the maxim of history that
victory always falls at last where it ought to fall;...
ACiv 11.311 2 ...it is not yet too late to begin the
emancipation; but we think it will always be too late to make it
gradual.
EPro 11.324 24 ...granting the truth, rightly read,
of the historical aphorism, that the people always conquer, it is to be
noted that, in the Southern States, the tenure of land and the local
laws, with slavery, give the social system not a democratic but an
aristocratic complexion;...
SMC 11.354 17 ...whatever may happen in this hour or
that, the years and the centuries are always pulling down the wrong and
building up the right.
SMC 11.357 21 One of our later volunteers...said, I
go because I shall always be sorry if I did not go when the country
called me.
SMC 11.357 25 One [volunteer] wrote to his father
these words: You may think it strange that I, who have always naturally
rather shrunk from danger, should wish to enter the army;...
SMC 11.359 18 [George Prescott] was...engaged in
common duties, but equal always to the occasion;...
SMC 11.360 2 [George Prescott] was a Puritan in the
army, with traits that remind one of John Brown,-an integrity
incorruptible, and an ability that always rose to the need.
SMC 11.361 10 Always devoted...[George Prescott's
letters] contain the sincere praise of men whom I now see in this
assembly.
SMC 11.370 5 When Colonel Gurney, of the Ninth
[Regiment], came to him the next day to tell him that folks are just
beginning to appreciate the Thirty-second Regiment: it always was a
good regiment...Colonel Prescott notes in his journal,-Pity they have
not found it out before it was all gone.
EdAd 11.387 25 Lovers of our country, but not always
approvers of the public counsels, we should certainly be glad to give
good advice in politics.
Koss 11.399 25 We [people of Concord] know the
austere condition of liberty...that it is always slipping from those
who boast it to those who fight for it...
Koss 11.400 22 Sir [Kossuth], whatever obstruction
from selfishness, indifference, or from property (which always
sympathizes with possession) you may encounter, we congratulate you
that you have known how to convert calamities into powers...
Wom 11.408 4 ...up to recent times, in no art or
science, nor in painting, poetry or music, have [women] produced a
masterpiece. Till the new education and larger opportunities of very
modern times, |
