Every moment instructs, and every object; for wisdom is infused into every form. it has been poured into us as blood; it convulsed us as pain; it slid into us as pleasure; it enveloped us in dull, melancholy days, or in days of cheerful labor; we did not guess its essence until after long time.

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. and what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. the natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.

Peter was dull; he was at first dull; - oh, so dull - so very dull! whether he talked, wrote, or rehearsed - still with his dulness was he cursed - dull -beyond all conception - dull.

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.

The only way to be a champion is by going through these forced reps and the torture and pain. that's way i call it the torture routine. because it's like forced torture. torturing my body. what helps me is to think of this pain as pleasure. pain makes me grow. growing is what i want. therefore, for me pain is pleasure. and so when i am experiencing pain i'm in heaven. it's great. people suggest this is masochistic. but they're wrong. i like pain for a particular reason. i don't like needle's stuck in my arm. but i do like the pain that is necessary to be a champion.

Freedom is only to be found where there is burden to be shouldered. in creative achievements this burden always represents an imperative and a need that weighs heavily upon man’s mood, so that he comes to be in a mood of melancholy. all creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, whether we are clearly aware of the fact or not, whether we speak at length about it or not. all creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, but this is not to say that everyone in a melancholy mood is creative.

Labor, like israel, has many sorrows. its women weep for their fallen and they lament for the future of the children of the race. it ill behooves one who has supped at labor's table and who has been sheltered in labor's house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace.

It's a long haul bringing up our children to be good; you have to keep doing that — bring them up — and that means bringing things up with them: asking, telling, sounding them out, sounding off yourself — finding, through experience, your own words, your own way of putting them together. you have to learn where you stand, and make sure your kids learn [where you stand], understand why, and soon, you hope, they'll be standing there beside you, with you.
