The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your fro...nt yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house--in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room... he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I happened to find Your picture. That picture. I stopped there cold,... Like a man raking piles of dead leaves in his yard Who has turned up a severed hand.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I do not believe in erecting statues to those who still live in our hearts, whose bones have not yet crumbled in the earth around ...us, but I would rather see the statue of Captain Brown in the Massachusetts State-House yard than that of any other man whom I know. I rejoice that I live in this age, that I am his contemporary.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its bla...ck arts,--a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Shall, then, the maple yield sugar, and not man? Shall the farmer be thus active, and surely have so much sugar to show for it, be...fore this very March is gone,--while I read the newspaper? While he works in his sugar-camp let me work in mine,--for sweetness is in me, and to sugar it shall come,--it shall not all go to leaves and wood. Am I not a sugar maple man, then? Boil down the sweet sap which the spring causes to flow within you. Stop not at syrup,--go on to sugar, though you present the world with but a single crystal,--a crystal not made from trees in your yard, but from the new life that stirs in your pores. Cheerfully skim your kettle, and watch it set and crystallize, making it a holiday of it if you will. Heaven will be propitious to you as to him.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The first man we saw on the island was an Indian named Joseph Polis, whom my relative had known from a boy, and now addressed fami...liarly as "Joe." He was dressing a deer-skin in his yard. The skin was spread over a slanting log, and he was scraping it with a stick held by both hands. He was stoutly built, perhaps a little above the middle height, with a broad face, and, as others said, perfect Indian features and complexion. His house was a two-story white one, with blinds, the best-looking that I noticed there, and as good as an average one on a New England village street. It was surrounded by a garden and fruit-trees, single cornstalks standing thinly amid the beans.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that thou art... mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man or man independent of woman. For just as woman came from man, so man com...es through woman; but all things come from God.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
