EXTRACTS FROM EMERSON

From the January 1893 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Beauty should be the dowry of every man and woman. Health or sound organization should be universal. Genius should be the child of genius, and every child should be inspired.

From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.

The influences of the senses has in most men overpowered the mind to that degree that the walls of time and space have come to look real and insurmountable; and to speak with levity of these limits is, in the world, the sign of insanity. Yet time and space are but inverse measures.

The heart which abandons itself to the Supreme Mind finds itself related to all its works, and will travel a royal road to particular knowledges and powers.

We are often made to feel that there is another youth and age than that which is measured from the year of our natural birth. Some thoughts always find us young, and keep us so. Such a thought is the love of the universal and eternal Beauty.
