The world is nothing, the man is all; in yourself is the law of all nature, and you know not yet how a globule of sap ascends; in yourself slumbers the whole of reason; it is for you to know all, it is for you to dare all.

The World Is Nothing, The Man Is

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is nothing, the man is all; in yourself is the law of all nature, and you know not yet how a globule of sap ascends; in yourself slumbers the whole of reason; it is for you to know all, it is for you to dare all.

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

All melodious poets shall be hoarse as street ballads, when once the penetrating keynote of nature and spirit is sounded-the earth-beat, sea-beat, heart-beat, which make the tune to which the sun rolls, and the globule of blood and the sap of the trees.
Heart Blood Sea
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

Dare to be what you ought to be, dare to be what you dream to be, dare to be the finest you can be. the more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.
Men Squares Law
In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. in a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. in a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. and in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.

You see, gentlemen, reason is an excellent thing, there’s no disputing that, but reason is nothing but reason and satisfies only the rational side of man’s nature, while will is a manifestation of the whole life, that is, of the whole human life including reason and all the impulses. and although our life, in this manifestation of it, is often worthless, yet it is life and not simply extracting square roots.

The prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "my companions are as stars. whomsoever of them you follow, you will be rightly guided." when a man looks at a star, and finds his way by it, the star does not speak any word to that man. yet, by merely looking at the star, the man knows the road from roadlessness and reaches his goal.

I'm always astounded at the way we automatically look at what divides and separates us. we never look at what people have in common. if you see it, black and white people, both sides look to see the differences, they don't look at what they have together. men and women, and old and young, and so on. and this is a disease of the mind, the way i see it. because in actual fact, men and women have much more in common than they are separated.

If man were happy, he would be the more so, the less he was diverted, like the saints and god.

Men go into marriage with virtually no expectations whatsoever. ten years later, the men are delightfully surprised to find out that it's actually kind of nice, and the women have sort of had to take a nose dive from what they thought it was going to be.
