Ralph Waldo Ersen 1803 to 1882 founder of American Transcendentalism published The Conduct of Life in 1860, the year Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States Ralph Waldo amers in the Conduct of Life and ADO delicate omens floating in the air reveal to the Solitary bard the true testimony birds with omens on their wings sing disillusioned mind to attract him to warn him well The poet could not learn to decipher or disseminate indications written in larger characters and retain at dawn faint shadows of the afternoon because foresight joins the that has taken on meaning or let’s say that patient prudence is the same creative genius occurred during a winter some years ago that our cities began to discuss the theory of the time by a strange coincidence four or five famous men addressed the citizens of Boston or New York in the terms of the spirit of the time the matter had equal prominence in several memorable pamphlets and in the contemporary London press for me. However the question of time is resolved in the practical question of the conduct of life how I should To live, we are incompetent to solve time, our geometry cannot measure the enormous orbits of the dominant ideas, foresee their return and reconcile their opposition. We can only obey our own polarity, no matter how pleasant it is to speculate and choose our course, we must accept an irresistible dictate in the first steps to satisfy our desires we come up against immovable limitations we burn with the hope of reforming men after many experiments we discover that we should have started school earlier but neither boys nor girls are docile and we cannot do anything with them we conclude that we cannot They are of good knowledge, we would have to begin our reform much earlier in the generation, that is, fasting or laws of the world, however, if there is an Irresistible dictate, that dictate is intelligible. If we are to accept the side, we are no less obliged to affirm freedom, the meaning of the individual. the greatness of duty The power of character this is true and that is also true but our geometry cannot measure these extreme points or reconcile us what to do by frankly obeying each thought by playing or if you want by pressing the string forcefully we end up knowing its power equally by obeying other thoughts we learn what they are and a reasonable hope arises of harmonizing them we are sure although we do not know how necessity is compatible with freedom the individual with the world nor polarity with the spirit of the time the Enigma of the age has for each one a particular solution if someone wants to study his time he will have to follow the method of accepting in turn the prevailing topics of our scheme of human life and by affirming without reservation How much it corresponds to his experience and doing justice to the opposite facts of the others will appear The true limitations the excessive emphasis on one side will be corrected and there will be a precise balance let us establish the facts accurately our America has a bad reputation due to superficiality the great men and the great nations have not been boastful or mocking but have warned the terror of life and they have managed to confront it. The Spartan who incorporated his religion into his country died before His Majesty without hesitation. The Turk who believes that his condemnation is written on a sheet of iron at the same moment he enters the world throws itself at the sword of its enemy with determined Courage the Turk the Arab the Persian accepts the pre-established side there are two days in which you will not be able to leave your grave the appointed day and the day without indicating in the first neither the balm nor the doctor will not save you nor will the universe be able to finish you in the second the Hindu under the wheel is just as firm our Calvinists in the Last Generation had something of that same dignity they felt that the weight of the universe was putting them in their place what could the wise men do They perceive that there is something that cannot be talked about nor can a Belt or belt be conjured that girdles the world’s destiny chief minister who exercises throughout the world the foresight that God has established is so strong that although the world has sworn otherwise without However, what will happen in one day It does not happen in 1000 years because our appetites, whether for war or peace, hate or love, are regulated by a Supreme vision chauser the tale of the knight the Greek tragedy was expressed in the same sense what is foreseen will happen the immense cannot be transgressed will of Jupiter savages bow to a local God of the tribe or village the broad ethic of Jesus was quickly reduced to parish theology that preaches election or favoritism there will always be kind parish priests like jn stellin or Robert Huntington who believe in a petty Providence thanks to which when the good man wants to have dinner someone knocks on his door and leaves him for half a dollar but nature is not sentimental, it does not caress us or pamper us. We have to realize that the world is harsh and tasteless and that he does not care if a man or a woman drowns that he swallows your ship like a speck of dust the cold without respect of persons will make you shiver numb your feet will make a man freeze like an apple diseases the elements fortune the gravity The Lightning does not respect anyone the path of Providence is something rude the habit of the snake and the spider the jump of the tiger and other bloody animals on the prowl the crunching of the bones of the prey that the anaconda catches are part of the system and our habits are similar, this scenario ends, no matter how scrupulously hidden the slaughterhouse is at a suitable distance in miles, there is complicity, extravagant races, a race that lives at the expense of another, the planet is subject to the impact of the Comets, disturbances from other planets, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions to climate alterations to the precession of the equinoxes the rivers dry up when the forest is cut down the sea changes its bed the towns and counties are flooded in Lisbon an earthquake killed men like they were flies in Naples 3 years ago 10,000 people were crushed in a few minutes scurvy in the sea The Sword of the climate in West Africa in cayenne in Panama in New Orleans eliminates men as in a massacre our western plains shake with fever and malaria cholera and smallpox spread have proven to be as deadly in some tribes as the frost with Los Crickets that after having filled the summer with its sound, call when the temperature drops in a night without discovering what does not concern us or counting all the species of parasites or testing the intestinal parasites. infusoria or the darkness of alternation in generation the shapes of the shark the labrus the jaw of the sea lion formed by clenched teeth the weapons of the gallows and other warriors hidden in the sea are signs of ferocity in the bosom of nature no Let us deny it, the path of Providence is savage, harsh and inscrutable to the end, and it is of no use to try to conceal its dark and confusing procedures, nor to dress that terrible benefactor with the clean shirt and white collar of the theology student, we could say that the disasters that threaten humanity are exceptional and we do not need to keep a daily account of the cataclysms, however what happens once can happen again and to the extent that we do not stop the blows we have to fear these upheavals and this ruin even thus they are less destructive than the clandestine power of other laws that work on us every day reducing the ends to the means is a sign of the side the organization tyrannizes the character the menagerie or the forms and powers of the spine are a book of side the beak of the bird and the head of the snake determine its tyrannical limits That is the scale of the races of the temperaments This is the sex This is the climate This is the reaction of the talents that keep the vital power for a determined purpose the spirit builds his house but then the house confines the Spirit the thick lines are readable by the fool the coachman is ready he brakes logo you Looks in the face to see if his shilling It is safe arching the eyebrows denotes one thing the belly another the visque one upturned nose the mop of hair the pigment of latan’s skin the character the men seem wrapped in their firm organization ask aspim ask the doctors ask why they read if temperaments don’t decide anything read the description in medical books of the four temperaments and you will believe you are reading your own thoughts that you had not noticed. Look at the role that black eyes and blue eyes play in a meeting. How can a man escape from his ancestors or extract from their sorrows the black drop that comes from the life of their father or mother often occurs in a family in which the qualities of the parents are poured into different containers, a dominant quality in each son or daughter of the house and sometimes the temperament without mixes the valuable elixir without reducing the vice of the family, everything is poured into a single individual and the others are proportionally relieved. Sometimes we see a change of expression in our friends and we say that their father or mother has looked out of their windows. eyes and sometimes a distant relative at different times a man represents several ancestors as if there were seven or eight of us rolled up in the skin of one man seven or eight ancestors At least they constitute the variety of notes of that new pi of music that It is their life on the corner of the street we read the possibilities of each passerby in the facial angle in the tz in the depth of their gaze their kinship has determined it men are what their mothers have made of them you could ask a loom what he weaves a vulgar cloth because he does not weave cashmere as much as expect poetry from an engineer or a chemical discovery from a laborer ask the digger in his pit to explain the laws of nuten the fine organs of his brain have been strained by overwork and squalid poverty from parents to children for 100 years when each one leaves his mother’s womb the door of gifts closes behind him let him count his hands and his feet he will only have one pair of each in the same way he will only have a future that already It is determined in his lobes and described in his chubby little face in his meek gaze and in his oval shape all the privilege and legislation of the world will not be able to intervene or help to make him a poet or a prince Jesus said who looks at a woman desiring her He has already committed adultery but he was already an adulterer before he looked at women because of the animal superfluity and the defect of thought in their Constitution. Anyone who bumps into him or her on the street realizes that some men are willing to be victims. Digestion and sex absorb the vital force and the stronger they are, the weaker the individual is. The more organs like those perish, the better for The Hive if they then give life to a superior individual with enough strength to add to the animal a new purpose and apparatus. complete to develop it the ancestors will be happily forgotten most men and most women are no more than a mere couple at some point a new cell or clique will open in your brain a skill for architecture music or philology a wasted taste or talent for flowers or chemistry or pigments or for telling stories or a good hand for drawing, good feet for dancing, an athletic structure for long journeys , etc. But that ability will not alter the scale of nature but will serve to pass the time. time, while the life of the sensation will continue as before, eventually those indications and tendencies will be fixed on one of them or in succession, each absorbs as much nourishment and strength as it needs to become a new center, the new talent so quickly squanders its strength. vital that barely remains to satisfy animal functions and even less for health so that in the second generation if a similar genius appears, health visibly deteriorates and generative force is reduced people are born with a moral or material inclination uterine siblings with a different destiny And I suppose that with large magnifying lenses Mr. Fraguen ofero Dr. Carpenter could distinguish in the embryo on the fourth day if this one is a Big And that one a supporter of free soil it would be poetic to lift this mountain on its side to reconcile the despotism of the race with the freedom that led the Hindus to say that ice cream is nothing but the sum of the acts committed in a previous state of existence I discover the coincidence from the extremes of Eastern and Western speculation in the bold assertion of sheing all men feel that they have been what they are for all eternity and that they will continue to be so to put it in a less Sublime way in the history of the individual his condition is summed up and each one knows that it is a part of his current state, a good part of our our politics is physiological, a rich man usually adopts in his youth the purpose of the broadest freedom in England There is always someone rich and well connected who is situated During the fertile years on the side of Progress and when his time approaches he reconsiders his role, he gathers his troops and becomes a conservative. All conservatives are conservatives due to personal defects. They have been faint-hearted by nature. They have been born lame and blind in the midst of paternal luxury and as invalids can only act defensively but strong natures coarse the giants of New hampshire Napoleon burque brogan webster kut are inevitably Patriots until the tides of their life and their defects and their gout their perlesia and their money derail them the firmest idea is It embodies in the majorities and the nations in the healthiest and most solid, the elections probably depend on the heavy weight and if you could physically weigh on an abor scale the tonnage of a hundred members of the Vigo party of the Democrat in any city you could predict with certainty which party would win as a whole would be the quickest way to decide the result put the elected officials or the mayor and the councilors on the balance in science we have to take into account two things power and circumstances everything we know about the egg is still discovery after discovery another vesicle and if within 500 years there were a more prepared observer or a better lens we would find another after the last one observed in animal and plant tissues the same thing happens and everything that the primary power or spasm Procura continues to be a vesicle itself except the tyrannical circumstance a vesicle in new circumstances a vesicle housed in the darkness thought oken becomes an animal in the light in a plant housed in the animal progenitor undergoes changes that end in a miraculously developed capacity of the unaltered vesicle that transforms into a fish in bird or quadruped in head and foot in eye and claw circumstance is nature nature is what you can do there are many things you cannot do We have two things Circumstance and life once we believed that positive power was everything now we have learned that negative power or circumstance is half nature is tyrannical circumstance the hard skull the coiled serpent the immense and rocky jaw the necessary activity the violent direction the conditions of a tool like the tora strong enough in its path but useless if it derails or the skates that are wings on the ice but shackles on the ground the book of nature is the book on its side nature turns the gigantic pages leaf after leaf without Going back drops a leaf a granite stratum then 1000 years and The fact is of slate another 1000 and it is a measure of Carbon another 1000 and a layer of Loam and mud Vegetable forms appear the first disfigured animals zoophilic ites fish then the reptiles rude forms in which nature has limited itself to enclosing its statue future hiding beneath these monsters is in reality the refined type that will crown it the surface of the planet cools and dries up the races improve and man is born but when a race has lived its share it no longer appears again the population of the world is a conditional population is not the best but the best that can now live and the proportion of tribes and the rapidity with which victory adheres to one tribe and defeat to another is as uniform as the superposition of the strata we know from history what weight corresponds to the race we see the English the French The Germans plant themselves on every coast and market of America and Australia and monopolize the trade of those countries we like the impetuous and successful habit of our own family branch we follow in the footsteps of the Jews of the Indians of the blacks we see how much effort has been wasted in exterminating the Jews Look at the unacceptable conclusions of NOX in his fragment of the races, a rude and unsatisfactory writer but full of thought and unforgettable Truths, nature respects the race, not the hybrids, each race has its separate habitat, a colony of The Race and degenerate to the crab let’s see the shadows of the image millions of Germans and Irish like the blacks have a large part of guano in their destination are transported across the Atlantic and left in America to dig ditches and struggle to cheapen grain and perish prematurely until green a part of the prairie one more sling of these adamantine bandages is the new science of statistics it is a rule that the most chance and extraordinary events when the population base is large enough become a matter of fixed calculation it is not certain to say when a captain like Bonaparte will be born a singer like janny lo a navigator like bichen bosten but with a population of 20 or 200 million one can be precise 12 it is frivolous to pedantically set the date of particular inventions that have been invented over and over again by man It is the model machine of which all derivations are an example. It comes to your aid in every emergency with a copy or duplicate of its structure to the extent that you need it. It is difficult to find the real Zoroastrian Homer Manu, even more difficult to find. to tubal Cain to vulcan to cadmus to Copernicus to fust to Fulton to the indisputable inventor there are quantities and centuries of them the air is full of men that talent abounds so much that efficiency in the manufacture of tools as if it were attached to the chemical atoms as if the The air we breathe was composed of men like Banson Franklin and Bat. No doubt among a million there will be an astronomer, a mathematician, a comic poet, a Mystic, no one could read the history of astronomy without realizing that Copernicus Newton La Place are neither new men nor a class of men but that such Anaximenes Hipparchus Empedocles Aristarchus Pythagoras Enos had preceded them all They had the same brain prepared for geometry disposed to the same computation and logic in parallel to the movement of the world the Roman mile probably rested on the estimation of a degree of the Meridian, the Muslims and the Chinese knew what we know about the leap years of the Gregorian calendar and the precession of the equinoxes, just as in every barrel of curies that reaches nuf there is an oria between 12 million Malays and Muslims there will be one or two astronomical heads in a big city the most chance things and those whose beauty lies in their chance occur in a manner as punctual and orderly as the breakfast illo Punch plays exactly one practical joke a week and the newspapers help to provide a good number of News per day the laws of repression work no less the punishments for unfulfilled functions hunger typhus frost war suicide and exhausted races are among the calculable parts of the world system are mountain boulders signs of the terms that surround our lives and that show a certain mechanical accuracy like that of the loom or the mill in what we consider casual or fortuitous events the force with which we resist the tendency of these torrents seems so ridiculously inadequate that it does not go beyond criticism or the protest of a minority formed by only one under the compulsion of millions, I fancy seeing men in the middle of a storm fighting with the waves and dragged anywhere they look at each other with intelligence But there is little they can do By helping each other it is enough that they manage to stay afloat, of course, they have the right to that look, but everything else corresponds to the side. We cannot play with that reality with the emergence of the heart of the world in our garden, an image of life that does not admit the facts. hateful lacks veracity The power of man depends on the need that after many experiments he has tested until he knows its extension, the element that runs through nature and what we popularly call ADO appears to us as a limitation We call Ado what limits us if we are brutes and barbarians the side adopts a bestial and fearsome figure as we refine ourselves the tests to which we submit are refined if we rise to a spiritual culture antagonism takes a spiritual form in fables Hindus bisnu follows aaya throughout all his ascending changes from insect and crab to elephant, whatever form Vishnu takes, he adopts the corresponding male form until Maya finally becomes woman and goddess and Vishnu becomes man and God refines the limitations while the soul is purified but the ring of necessity encompasses everything as the gods in heaven are then incapable of holding the Fenris wolf with steel or with the weight of the mountains, the first one broke in two and removed himself from On top of that, the other shoes surrounded his feet with a loose rope softer than silk or spider web and that held him back. The more he pulled on it, the more rigid it became, the ring on its side is equally soft and firm, neither the brandy nor the nectar. Neither ether nor the fire of hell nor liquor nor poetry nor genius could break that loose bond even if we gave it the elevated meaning with which poets use it, thought would not be above it either, it would have to act in accordance with eternal laws and everything that it contains that is arbitrary and fantastic would oppose its fundamental essence. Lastly, on thought in the world of morals, nothing appears as a vindicator, leveling the high, elevating the lower, demanding justice from man and striking sooner or later when it is not done. justice what is useful will endure what is harmful will disappear he who works suffers said the Greeks you console a deity who does not need it not even God can benefit the wicked said the Welsh triad God is conscious but for a certain time said the bard of Spain the intuition of man cannot overcome the limitation in their subsequent and higher ascensions one’s own intuition and the freedom of the will They are obedient members, however, we must not allow ourselves to be carried away by generalizations but Show the natural confines or essential distinctions And try to do justice to the other elements so we find ice in matter in the mind in morality in La Raza in the superposition of the strata or in thought and character everywhere there is a term or limitation however the side has its lord the limitation its limits are different seen from above or from below from within or from without because although the side is immense also the power that is the other fact in the Dual world is immense if the side follows the power and limits it the power helps the side and is its antagonist we have to respect the side as natural history but there is something more than Natural History because who is not that criticism that snoops in the matter man is not a request of nature packed belly and limbs a link in the chain an ignominious baggage but a stupendous antagonist that attracts the poles of the universe man discovers his relationship with what is below him improbable quadruped with a big head and a small brain a poorly concealed quadruped that has barely stood on two feet and has been extinguished by the new powers with the loss of the old ones The Lightning that falls and shapes planets creator of planets and suns is in it on the one hand the elemental order sandstone and granite reefs peat forest sea and shore on the other the thought the spirit that composes and decomposes nature here are together good and evil the mind and the matter the king and the conspirator the emotion and the spasm Riding together peacefully in the gaze and the brain of each man man cannot ignore free will either to venture contradiction freedom is necessary if you prefer huaros next to the side and to say that the side is everything then we will say that a part of the side is the freedom of man in the soul the impulse to choose and act will always spring up intelligence nullifies the side a man is free to the extent that he thinks Although nothing is more unpleasant than boasting about freedom while being slaves like the majority are or that the impertinent mistake of taking the preamble of some document such as the declaration of Independence for freedom or that the statutory right to vote of those who have never dared to think or act, however, it is healthy that man does not measure to one side but to its opposite, the practical perspective is the other, his true relationship with these facts It consists in using and directing them, not in shrinking before them, do not look at nature because its name is fatal, said the oracle, excessive contemplation of limits leads to mediocrity, those who talk too much about the destiny of their natal star, etc., are on a dangerous inclined plane and attract the evils that they fear I have mentioned to the instinctive and heroic races that proudly believe in destiny conspire with it a loving resignation It accompanies them but the dogma makes a different impression when it is defended by the weak and lazy it is the weak and vicious who blame it On the other hand, good use on the other hand consists of elevating our behavior to the level of nature. The elements are harsh and nothing can defeat them except themselves. This is how man should be. Let us allow him to empty his chest of his frivolous presumptions and show his lordship with manners and acts proportionate to nature let him manifest his purpose with the force of gravity no power no persuasion no bribe will separate him from his commitment a man would be compared advantageously with a river an oak tree or a mountain would have no less current extension or resistance than them the best use on the side is to teach fatal courage face the fire at sea or the cholera in your friend’s house or the thief in yours or the danger that stands in the way of duty knowing that The cherub of destiny guards you if you believe in the side to your detriment, do not believe less in it for your benefit. For if fate predominates, man is a part of it and can oppose the side to side. If the universe has such accidents, our atoms will be just as savage as the atmosphere resists them. It would crush us if it were not for the reaction of the air inside the body. A tube made of fiberglass can resist the momentum of the ocean if it is full of sea water. If I find my power in the blow, I find my power in fitting it, one but ADO against ADO. It is just a way to stop the blow and defend oneself. There are also noble creative forces. The revelation of thought takes man out of servitude and leads him to freedom. We correctly say that we have been born and that we are reborn. Many times we have successive experiences so important that the The new ones make us forget the old ones from which the mythology of the seven or nine heavens comes. The day of days, the great day of the festival of life, is the one in which the inner eye opens to the unity of things and omnipresence. of the law and sees what should be or is best that beatitude descends upon us and we see it is not in us as much as we are in it if the air fills our lungs we breathe and live if we do not die if the light comes to our eyes we see not otherwise, if the truth comes to our thoughts we suddenly expand in all its dimensions as if we grew in several worlds we are legislators we speak by nature we prophesy and divine this intuition puts us on the side of the universe against everything and against everyone against ourselves as much as against others a man who speaks by intuition He affirms of himself what is true of thought seeing his immortality says that he is immortal seeing his invincibility says that he is strong it is not in us We are in it it is about the creator not about what created touches and alters all things intuition uses is not used separates those who share it from those who do not share it those who share it are not part of the flock or the horde intuition begins in itself not with previous or better men or I in the gospel the Constitution the university or custom where nature shines does not interfere and all things give a musical or pictorial impression the world of men seems like a comedy without laughter population interests government history toy figures in a toy house does not esteem the particular truths we eagerly listen to the thought and quoted words of an intellectual but in his presence we prefer activity and forget Immediately what says much more interesting in the new game of our own thinking than in any of theirs is the majesty to which we have suddenly elevated ourselves impersonality the disdain of selfishness the Sphere of laws the that commits us once we follow that path then another now we travel in a balloon and we do not think so much about the place we have left or the one we were heading to as about the freedom and glory of the path the more intelligence adds more organic power who sees through He presides over the design and must will what should be, we sit and govern And although we sleep, our dream will come true, our thought. Even if it only has an hour, it corroborates an older need that will not detach itself from thought nor will it detach itself from the will. All this has always coexisted and warns us of the sovereignty and divinity of thought that refuses to divide, it is not mine or yours but the will of anyone is poured into the souls of men as the same soul that makes them men I do not know if there is as it is said in the highest region of our atmosphere a current that always pushes towards the west and drags the atoms that rise to that height but I see that when souls reach a certain Clarity in perception they accept a knowledge and a motivation superior to selfishness a breath of The will blows Eternally through the universe of souls towards what is just and necessary, it is the air that all intelligences inhale and exhale and the wind that puts the worlds in order and in orbit, thought dissolves the material universe by elevating us to a sphere in which that everything is plastic of two men who obey their own thought, the one whose thought is deeper will have the stronger character, there is always a man who more than others presents the will of Divine Providence in the second period, if the thought liberates, so does the moral sentiment, the mixtures of spiritual chemistry reject analysis; however, we see that the perception of truth is joined by the desire for that affection to prevail; it is essential to the will; however, when a strong will appears, it usually comes from a certain unity of organization as if all the energy of the body and mind flowed in a single direction the great forces are real and elemental a strong will cannot be manufactured there must be a pound to balance another where the power is shown in the will it must rest In the universal force, Alaric and Bonaparte had to believe that they rested on the truth or their will could have been bought or broken. It is possible to bribe any finite will, but pure sympathy with universal ends is an infinite force that cannot be bribed or broken. Whoever has had experience of moral feeling cannot choose but the belief in unlimited power, each beat of that heart is a vote to the highest. I do not know what the word Sublime means except the intimations of a terrifying force in a child, a text of heroism. The name and the anecdote of courage do not form an argument but rather an incursion of freedom. One of these incursions is the verse of the Persian fis is written at the Gate of Heaven. Cursed be he who allows ice cream to betray him . Reading the story makes us fatalistic. story what courage the contrary opinion shows a small whim of the will to be free fighting gently against the universe of chemistry but intuition is not the will nor is it affection perception is cold and kindness undoes desires As volter said It is a disgrace that worthy people are cowards, but there must be a fusion of both to generate the energy of the will. There will be no guiding force except through the conversion of man to his will, unless it is done by will and will be he, we could tell you that no one has an accurate perception of the truth if the truth has not influenced him and he is willing to be its martyr. The only serious and formidable thing in nature is the will. Society is serving through lack of will and for The world needs saviors and religions, one path is the good one, the Hero sees it and moves forward with that purpose. While the world serves as his root and support, he is the world for others. His approval is honor. His dissent is infamy. The look in his eyes has the strength of the sun’s rays. A personal influence houses in memory only what is valuable and we happily forget the figures, the money, the climate, the gravity and the rest aside, we can allow the limitation as long as we know that it is the measure of the man who grows, we resist alongside like the children who mark the height of the wall of the father’s house year year when the boy becomes a man and is the master of the house, tear down the wall and build a new and bigger one, it is only a matter of time, every brave young man prepares to ride and govern that dragon, his science consists of making weapons and wings with those passions and delayed forces now seeing these two things ADO and power we could believe in unity the bulk of humanity believes in two gods they are in a domain at home as friends or parents in social circles in letters in art in love in religion but in mechanics when dealing with steam and climate in commerce in politics they think that they are in another and that it would be a practical error to transfer the method and mode of working in one sphere to the other how many good honest generous men in house they become wolves and foxes in the market how many pious men in the room will vote what they disapprove in the elections To a certain extent they believe themselves to be under the Protection of Providence but on board a steamship in an epidemic in war they will believe that an evil energy governs relationship and connection do not occur in certain places and sometimes but always and everywhere the divine order does not stop where the sight of men stops friendly power works by the same rules on the nearest farm and the planet closest where men lack experience, they oppose that power and hurt themselves. Then it will be the name given to the facts that have not passed through the fire of thought, the causes that have not yet been penetrated when the chaos that threatens to exterminate them arises. intelligence can turn it into a healthy force the side consists of causes that have not yet been penetrated the water swallows the ship and the Sailor like a speck of dust but learn to swim repaired ship and understand the wave that swallowed it And that now It will carry it just like its foam as if it were a feather and a power. The cold without respect of persons will freeze your blood and it will make a man as if he were a drop of dew, but learn to skate and the ice will give you a graceful movement. soft and poetic, the cold will invigorate your limbs and your brain until you become geniuses and make you the eminent men of your time, the cold and the sea will prepare an imperial Saxon race that nature will not be able to afford to lose and that after having been locked up for 1000 years in distant England will give 100 England 100 Mexico will absorb and dominate all blood and more than Mexico the secrets of water and steam await you the electric shocks the ductility of metals the chariot of Air The manned Balloon the annual massacre of typhus exceeds that of war but good drainage puts an end to typhus. The Plague of scurvy in the maritime service is cured with lemon juice and other diets that are easy to adopt or procure the depopulation that causes cholera and smallpox ends with drainage and vaccination and it happens no less with any other plague in the chain of cause and effect that can be combated while the medicine extracts the poison also obtains benefit from the defeated enemy the unbridled torrent fights for the man who uses wild beasts to eat, dress or work and controls chemical explosions like his watch Those are the horses that man rides he moves by all means with the horses’ legs on wings of the wind by means of steam or gas from the balloon with electricity and rises on tiptoe to hunt the eagle in its element there is nothing that does not One The steamer served as transport was until yesterday the [ __ ] that we feared any pot made by a craftsman or any brazier They had a hole in their deck to let the enemy escape and that the pot and the roof would not fly into the air and they would take the house with them, but the Marquis of Wuster Bat and Fon considered that where there was power, it was not the [__] but God and that it had to be disposed of. Instead of letting it escape and wasting it, he could throw the roof pot into the air. and house with such ease Then it was the worker they were looking for could be used to ward off chain and force other devils much more reactant and dangerous like the cubic meters of earth mountains the weight or resistance of water the machinery and tasks of all men of the world could prolong time and reduce space. The same thing happens with other kinds of steam. The opinion of the crowd was the terror of the world and they tried to dispel it by amusing the nations or by piling up a layer of soldiers on top of the social strata. she a layer of lords and a king at the top with jaws and a siege of castles, garrisons and police at times, however the religious principle Petra the siege falls and shakes the mountains that were above it the Fultons and the bats of politics persuaded of unity they saw that it was a power and by satisfying it as justice satisfies everyone through a different arrangement of society level area [Music] who would like to have a petulant brakeman predict his fortune who would like to believe that he hides in his skull in his spine and in his pelvis all the vices of the Saxon or Celtic race and be sure that they will lower him to be whatever the greatness of the hope with which a selfish animal burns, a devious servile scrounger, an expert doctor will tell you that it is invariable the fact that a Neapolitan when he matures assumes the confusing manner of a scoundrel is somewhat exaggerated but all this could happen, it fills warehouses and arsenals, a man has to be grateful for its effects and feel terrified of his talents, a transcendent talent pulls with such strength from Him that it will leave him lame, on the contrary, a defect benefits him, the suffering that is the badge of the Jew has made him currently the master of the Masters of the world if ice is mineral And stony if evil is a well underway if limitation is power in the making if calamities oppositions and weights are wings and means Then we have reconciled ice cream implies improvement no statement regarding the universe Could have weight If this upward effort did not admit the direction of the whole and of each of Its parts is that of profit and its proportion is the health behind each individual closes ranks the organization before him freedom opens up the more freedom the better the first and worst races have died the imperfect races that followed are dying they survive to mature the superiors in the last race in man generosity a new perception the love and praise he receives from his fellow men certify The Advancement from ice cream to freedom the liberation of the will from the sheaths and Swedes of the organization from which it comes is the end and purpose of this world calamity is a stimulating and valuable sign and where man’s efforts do not fully serve they will indicate What is the trend the circle of animal life tooth against tooth voracious war the war for food a howl of pain and a growl of triumph until in the end all evolution the entire chemical mass gains over time and is refined for higher use it is pleasing to stand at a distance to watch the side slide towards freedom and freedom towards the side observe how far the roots of any creature extend or point if you can a point where there is no relationship our life is consistent and has many links the knot of nature is so well tied that no one has been skillful enough to find it two ends nature is intricate it covers and tangles and has no end Christopher Ran said of the beautiful chapel of King’s College that if someone told him where to put the first stone he would build another one just like it where we could find the first atom in the house of the man who is all consistency inoculation and balance of the parts the network of the relationship is manifested in the habitat it is manifested in hibernation when observing hibernation we discover that while some animals behave with clumsiness in winter to others it happens in summer hibernation is a bad name great sleep It is not an effect of the cold but is regulated by the supply of food necessary for the animal it appears clumsy when the fruit or prey of those it lives in is not They are in season and regain their activity when there is food the eyes are revealed in the light the ears in the air auricular the feet on land the fins in the water the wings in the wind and each creature where it should be with adequate reciprocity each area It has its fauna, there is a balance between the animal and its food, its parasite, its enemy, the proportion is kept, the decrease is not allowed, nor is the increase. Similar adjustments occur in man. His food is prepared when the coal arrives in the hole, the ventilated house. dry the mud of rain his companions arrive at their time and await him with love agreement laughter and tears are rude adjustments but the invisible ones are no less they belong to the creature more than his lair or his food he must know what his instincts are and be willing to a power that bends and adapts what is close to him so that he can use it himself. It would not be possible as long as the invisible things were not prepared for as much as the visible ones. How many changes in the cycle and on the earth and in heavens and earths more beautiful then the appearance of Dante and Columbus warns us How this happens, nature is not prodigal but takes the shortest path like the general who tells his soldiers if you want a fort, build it, nature urges each creature to do its job and makes a living, be it a planet, an animal or a tree, the planet makes itself, the animal cell makes itself, and then what it wants to be, every creature, wren or dragon, builds its lair. As soon as there is life, there is a direction. own and the absorption and use of the material life is freedom life in a direct proportion to its quantity you can be sure that the newborn is not inert life works in a voluntary and supernatural way in its vicinity you think about esteeming that member of radiant and daring affordable treatment of the community by its weight in pounds or by what its skin encloses the smallest lamp fills a mile with its rays and a man’s pupils reach for the stars when there is something to do the world knows how to do it plant stem creates the leaf the pericarp the root the bark or the hawthorn when it needs it the first becomes the stomach mouth nose or nail depending on what it needs the world bets its life on a hero or a shepherd and places it where it is necessary Dante and Columbus were Italians in their time today they would be Russians or Americans things mature new men arrive adaptation is not capricious the ultimate goal the purpose Beyond itself the correlation by which the planets subsist and crystallize then animates the beasts and men but it does not stop but is addressed to more refined individuals and from them to the most refined of all The Secret of the world is the link between the person and the event the person creates the event and the event to the person time era that are but a few profound and active people who summarize gette hegel metternich Adams calhoun kisot pil coben kosut rochil astor brunel and the rest of us must presume the same adequacy between a man and the time or the event as between the sexes or between a animal race and the food it eats or the inferior races that it uses, man believes that the side is foreign to him because the link is hidden but the soul contains the event that must occur. For the event is only the actualization of his thoughts. and what we pray for will always be guaranteed. The event is the impression of your form. It suits you just as well as your skin. What each person does is his own. The events are children of his body and his mind. We have learned that the soul. on the side is our soul as it sings fis Oh until now I did not know that my guide and my guide’s fortune were one all the toys that man is offended by and with which he plays houses earth money luxury power fame are the same with a veil or two of illusion superimposed on all the drums and fanfares that lead men to voluntarily break their heads and parade with solemnity every morning the most admirable is that by which we come to persuade ourselves that events are arbitrary and independent of actions, we discern the thread with which the puppeteer moves his puppets but our gaze is not sharp enough to discover the one that unites Cause and effect, nature magically links man with his fortune by making it the fruit of his character, ducks go to water, eagles to the sky, waders to the seashore, hunters to the forest, accountants to their office and soldiers to the border events grow on the same trunk that people are subp people the pleasure of life depends on the man who lives it and not on the work or the place life is an Ecstasy we know the madness that belongs to love the power to paint a vile object with the colors of the sky Just as the insane are indifferent to their attire, their diet or other comforts and just as in dreams we carry out the most absurd acts with equanimity, one more drop of wine in our glass of life reconciles us with a company or a strange job, each creature establishes its conditions and its sphere just as the slug drags its slippery house on the pear leaf and the worm leaves its larvae in the apple tree or the p its eggs in youth we dress in rainbows and we are as haughty as the Zodiac in old age we sweat differently gout fever rheumatism Caprice doubt impatience and greed a man’s fortune is the fruit of his character a man’s friends are his magnetism we look to Herodotus and Plutarch are examples aside, but we are examples quisque suos pa timur manes the tendency of each name to carry out everything that its Constitution contains is expressed in the ancient conviction that all our efforts to escape from destiny alone do not serve to lead us to him and I have been able to notice that men prefer to be congratulated for their position as if it were proof of the ultimate or complete excellence rather than for their merits man sees his character manifest in the events that he believes he encounters but that he himself exudes. and accompany him the events multiply with the character Just as he was once surrounded by toys Now he plays a part in colossal systems and his ambition his companions and his performance point out his growth it seems like a piece of luck but it is a part of the causation mosaic at an angle and placed to fill the space it occupies, that is why in every city there is a man who, in his brain and actions, is an explanation of the crops, the production, the factories, the banks, the churches, the ways of living and the society of the city. you are not lucky enough to find it everything you see will perplex you if you see it everything will be simple in more we know who founded NF who founded Lin lobel Lawrence Clinton fitchburg olio Portland and many other noisy markets if those men were transparent they would not seem like men to you but cities walking, wherever I put them, they would found one. History is the action and reaction of nature and thought. Two boys who fight against each other on the edge of the sidewalk, both hit and fit together, and in the same way, matter and mind maintain a perpetual struggle and balance. While man is weak, the earth lifts him up, then he plants his brain and his affections, little by little he subdues the earth and obtains gardens and vineyards in proportion to the beautiful order and production capacity of his thought, everything Solid in the universe is susceptible to becoming fluid as intelligence approaches For the power to flow is the mental measure if the wall resists it betrays the lack of thought in the face of a more subtle force it will break into new forms that express the character What is the city we are in but an aggregate of materials incongruous who have obeyed someone’s will the granite was reluctant but his hands were stronger the steel was hidden deep in the earth and confused with the stone but could not escape its fire the wood the lime the materials the fruits The rubber were scattered in vain over the Earth and the sea are now here within reach of anyone’s work and at their disposal the whole world is a current of matter that runs through the cables of thought until it reaches the poles or points where it stops. The human races rose from the earth with a thought that governs them and divided into parties armed and prepared to fight for that physical abstraction, the quality of thought distinguishes the Egyptians from the Romans the Austrians from the Americans all the men who take the stage in a given period relate to each other certain ideas float in the air they affect us all because we are all made of them but some more than others and those are the ones who express them. This explains the curious simultaneity of inventions and c the truth floats in the air and the most sensitive brain will announce it first but everyone will announce it minutes later. The women who are the most susceptible are the ones who best indicate the truth. next hour the great man, that is, the one most imbued with the spirit of the time, is the sensitive man endowed with an irritable and delicate fiber like iodine in the light, perceives infinitesimal attractions, is more accurate than others because he surrenders to a current So weak that only one delicately magnetized needle could notice the correlation shown in the defects moer in his essay on architecture teaches that the building that responds exactly to its purpose will be beautiful even if that was not the intention I observe the same unity in virulent and obsessive human structures the crudeness of the blood will reappear in the plot a hump on the back will appear in the way of speaking and acting if we saw him inside we would see the hump if a man’s voice wavers his sentences will waver his poem the structure of speech his speculation his charity like all men are chased by their daimon and they fall ill with their own disease, all their activity suffers, each man Like each plant has its parasites, a strong astringent nature, visa has enemies more truculent than the slugs and flies that eat my leaves, the weevil, the aphid, the worms will suffer . first a swindler will eat it then a client then a healer then gentle and plausible gentlemen as bitter and selfish as moloch that correlation that truly exists could be guessed if the threads are there thought can pull them and show them especially when a soul is agile and docile as chauser sings If the most appropriate soul were as perfect as man believes and knew what had to happen so that man would warn each and every one of his adventures through predictions and imagination, our Flesh would not be able to understand it because the warning would be too dark some people are made up of rhyme coincidence omen periodicity omen they find those who seek they say beforehand what their companions were going to tell them and 100 signs warn them of what is going to happen this wandering life constitutes a wonderful and intricate network and admits a wonderful constancy in the design marvels us How the fly finds its mate and yet year after year we find two men and two women without legal or carnal ties who spend a large part of the best years of their lives a few steps from each other the moral is that we find what we seek, that which we flee from, flees from us as he said, what we desired in youth fills us in old age with the condemnation that often accompanies the granting of our desires, which is why we must take into account since we are sure of that we will get what we want that we only have to ask for great things there is a key a solution to the mysteries of the human condition a solution to the old knots aside the li and prescience propose a double consciousness a man can alternately ride the horses of his public and private nature, like the acrobats of the Circus they jump with agility from one horse to another or put one foot on each rump. So when a man is a victim of suado, he suffers from sciatica in the kidneys and mental cramps, he has a deformed foot and a deformed face. emaciated and a selfish temperament he struts when he walks and is conceited or bites the dust for the vice of his race he reinforces his relationship with the universe which his ruin benefits by abandoning the Diamond who suffers he sides with the deity who guarantees a benefit universal with its pain to compensate the attraction of the temperament and the race that degrades us, let us learn this lesson that due to the cunning co-presence of two elements in all of nature, whatever hurts or paralyzes you, divinity carries with it to compensate, a good intention is clothed with a sudden power When a God desires ride a breeze or a pebble will flourish until the winged feet sprout that serve as a mount let us raise altars to the blessed unity that sustains nature and souls in perfect balance and forces atoms to serve a universal purpose I am not surprised by a flake of snow, a Concha, a summer landscape or the glory of the stars but the need for beauty in the universe that everything is and should be pictorial that the rainbow The curve of the horizon and the arch of the blue dome are the result of the ocular organism there is no need of foolish amateurs who make me admire a garden of flowers or a cloud gilded by the sun or a waterfall when I could not look without seeing the splendor and the grace it is idle to choose a fugitive spark here or there when the inner need plants The rose of the beauty in the midst of chaos and discover the central intention of nature to be harmony and joy let us raise altars to the beautiful necessity if we believed that men are free in the sense that exceptionally a fantastic will could prevail above the nature of things everything would be as if a child’s hand could catch the sun if in the slightest we could abrogate the order of nature who would accept the gift of life we raise altars to the beautiful necessity that guarantees that everything is made of a piece that the plaintiff and the defended the friend and the enemy the animal and the planet the food and the consumer are of a single kind in astronomy there is a vast space but not a strange system in geology the vast time but the same laws as today why should we fear nature which is nothing other than philosophy and theology incorporated Why should we fear that wild elements would crush us who are made of the same elements let us elevate the beautiful necessity that gives courage to man by persuading him that he cannot avoid a indicated danger or incurring that which is not necessary to the necessity that null or gently educates him in the perception that there are no contingencies that the law governs the existence a law that is not intelligent but the intelligence neither personal nor impersonal that disdains the words and surpasses understanding dissolves people vivifies nature and yet demands Purity of heart to extend in all its omnipotence two powers his tongue was made for music and his hand was dexterous his face was the mold of beauty and his heart the throne of the will we still do not have the inventory of man’s faculties nor do we have a Bible of his opinions who will set the limit to the influence of the human being there are men whose sympathy drags nations with it and directs the activity of the human race, if there is a link by which wherever man goes, nature accompanies him, perhaps there are men whose magnetism attracts the material and the elemental powers where immense media appear and are organized around them, life goes in search of Power and the world It is so saturated with power, there is no crack or crevice where it is not found that no sincere search goes without reward. Man should appreciate events and goods like the ore in which the mineral is lodged, he should only let the events pass or lose his goods and exhale. the breath of his body when its value had been added in the form of power if it has been secured the elixir can leave the spacious gardens in which it was distilled a cultivated man wise in knowing and used in acting is the end for which nature works and the education of the will is the flowering and result of all this geology and astronomy, all successful men agree on something, they are causes, they do not believe that things happen by chance but by law, nor that there is a loose or broken link in the chain that unites the beginning and the end the belief in causality in a strict relationship between any trifle and the principle of being and and in Consequently, the belief in compensation or in the fact that nothing is lost characterizes valuable men and dominates the efforts of entrepreneurs. The bravest men are those who believe in following the laws. The great captains, Bonaparte said, achieved their feats by submitting. to the rules of the game Adjusting efforts to the obstacles the key to our era could be this or that or the other As the young speakers say, the key to all eras is weakness the weakness of the vast majority of men in all ages times and even in the heroes in everything except in certain eminent moments Victims of the gravity of the habit of fear that the crowd does not have the habit of self-confidence and the original action gives firmness to the strong we have to recognize in the success a constitutional trait courage as taught by ancient doctors and its meaning is maintained Although its physiology is somewhat mythical the courage or degree of life is like the degree of blood circulation through the arteries in moments of passion of anger of Fury In stress tests in fighting and combat, a large amount of blood rushes into the arteries because this is required to preserve bodily vigor and it barely circulates through the veins. This condition is constant in intrepid people. Courage and adventure are possible where the arteries retain the blood where they pour and restrain it in the veins the spirit is inferior and lazy it takes extraordinary health to accomplish a great feat if ark is in good health and has slept well and is in the best condition and He is 30 years old when he leaves Greenland he will continue heading west and his ships will reach the new land, safe but taken away from him, an even stronger and more daring man saw not orfin and the ships with the same ease you will sail 600 1000 100 miles further and they will arrive In Labrador and New England there is no chance in the outcome with adults as with children, a few begin happily to play and spin in the Whirlwind of the world, the rest have cold hands and limit themselves to observing or are carried away by humor and vivacity of those who can carry a dead weight with them the first wealth is health the disease is faint-hearted and is of no use to anyone it must unite its resources to life but health or plenitude responds to its own purposes and dispenses with it surpasses and fills the neighborhood and the streams of other people’s needs all power is of one kind a participation in the nature of the world he who stands parallel to the laws of nature will float in the current of events and draw his strength man is made of the same matter that events sympathize with the course of things predicts them what is to happen happens to him first so that it is the same as what happens a man who knows men will speak with propriety about politics commerce law war or religion For the men behave the same in all countries; the advantage of a firm impulse is not conferred by work, art, or agreement; it is like the climate that produces a harvest so good that neither greenhouse nor irrigation nor cultivation nor manure could emulate the situation. As the opportunities of cities like New York or Constantinople that do not need diplomacy to force capital or genius or labor to go there go of themselves as waters flow towards them, so a healthy and vast broad understanding lies in the banks of invisible rivers of invisible oceans covered with ships that night and day come to that point There it pours while other men try to find it it is in the secret of anyone it anticipates the discovery of anyone And if it does not govern the actions of the Genius and the schoolboy 13 It is because he is vast and lazy and does not consider them worthy of it, this affirmative force is in one and not in another, just as one horse has power in itself and another has it in the riding crop on the young man’s neck, he said. Gem as graceful as the entrepreneurial spirit, take to a quiet district or to an old Dutch settlement in New York or Pennsylvania or to a plantation in Virginia, a colony of Yankees kissing vigorously with a head full of hammers steam pulleys, cranks and cogwheels and everything will begin to take on value. What an intensification did the arrival of James War de Brunel bring to the water and land of England? In any company, not only are active and passive sex found, but both in men and women. In women there is a much deeper and more important mental sex, the creative class of men and women and the uninventive or merely receptive class. That Plus in man represents the entire series and Yes, it also has the added advantage of personal ascendancy that does not imply more. or less talent but only the temperamental or trained look of the Soldier or the school teacher that one has and another does not like one has the mustache Moreno and the other Blond then easily and without envy or resistance their coadjutors and suppliers will recognize their right to absorb them The merchant works with the account book and the cash register The interns provide the lawyer with the authorities The geologist gathers The investigations of his subordinates Commander Wi appropriated the results of the naturalists who were part of the expedition The Stonemasons finish the Statue of torbal zen dumas has blacks and Shakespeare was a theater entrepreneur who used both the work of many young people and books, there is always room for a strong man who in turn makes room for many, society is a troop of thinkers and the best ones to occupy to the best the weak see the fenced and tilled farms the built houses The Strong sees the possible houses and farms his gaze creates farms as quickly as the sun forms the clouds when a new boy arrives at school when a man travels and stumbles daily with strangers or when a newcomer is tamed in an old club, the same thing happens as when a strange ox is taken to the property or to the pasture where the cattle pass, there is immediately a test of strength between the best pair of horns and the newcomer of When the new king comes out, in the same way there is a very Courteous But decisive and certain measure of strength here, when each one of them meets, reads his dream in the eyes of others, the weaker part realizes that all his information and Ingenuity is useless. for the occasion he believed Knowing this and that discovers that he has overlooked learning the end nothing of how much he knows will measure up while his rival’s arrows hit the target Even if he knew everything an encyclopedia says it would be of no use to him because this is a matter of presence of mind of attitude of poise The opponent counts on the sun and the wind and when his turn comes He chooses weapon and position if another antagonist challenges him his spear flies and hits it is a question of stomach and Constitution the other is so good like the first perhaps better but he has neither his firmness nor his stomach and his Wit seems too refined or vast health is good is the power the life that resists disease, poison and all enemies and that is as conservative as it is creative This The question is whether each Spring you have to graft wax or clay whiten give potassium or prune the only important thing is the slender tree a good tree that takes advantage of the soil will grow despite the blight the insects the pruning shears or the carelessness at night and day with any time and treatment there must be liveliness and control and it is not permissible to be picky in the choice we have to extract dirty water with the pump if there is no clean water If we want to make bread We will have to use yeast germs and everything that induces the dough to ferment Just as the clumsy artist seeks inspiration at all costs in Virtue and in vice in the friend and in the enemy in prayer and wine, we have a certain instinct that tells us that life in abundance, no matter how rude and corrupt, has its drawbacks. tests and purifications and in the end it will be in harmony with the laws Morals we observe in children with passionate interest To what extent they have the strength to recover Yes when we hurt them or they hurt themselves or they come last in class or they lose the annual prize or the If they defeat in the match, they become discouraged and remember their misfortune when they get home, they will go through a tough test, but if they show a liveliness and resistance that leads them to take up a new interest on a new occasion, the wounds will heal and the fiber will be harder than the wound. We value that Plus of health when we realize that the difficulties vanish before him. A timid man who would pay attention to the alarmists in Congress or in the press and observe the debauchery of the parties the particular interests expressed with a Fury blind to the consequences and determined on desperate measures with the vote in one hand and The rifle in the other could persuade himself that he and his country have seen better days and harden in the face of the ruin that is coming But when the prediction has been repeated 50 times and the currency has not devalued, you will realize that the enormous elements of force that come into play diminish the importance of our politics. Personal Power, freedom and the resources of nature stretch the limits to the maximum. faculties of the citizen we prosper with such vigor that like slender trees we grow despite the ice the aphid the mouse and the worms so that the unbridled swarms that fatten themselves at the expense of the national treasury do not affect us the corpulent animals feed corpulent parasites and the virulence of Illness tests the strength of the Constitution, the very energy of the Greek demos proves that the evils of popular government seem greater than they are, they are compensated by the spirit and energy that the demos awakens, the rough and ready customs of sailors, woodcutters, farmers. and workers have their advantages power educates the potentate when our people refer to English standards it undermines their own proportions an eminent lawyer from the West told me that he wished it were a punishable offense to bring an English authority to the courts of this country so pernicious had it experience results from our deference to English precedents the word commerce has only one English meaning and is bound up with the narrow demands of English experience river commerce by rail and who knows whether commerce by balloon will Add an American extension to the pond of the admiralty when our people refer to English guidelines they lose the sovereignty of power but let those crude horsemen legislators in shirt sleeves oier saker return Bayer or any hardhead that arkansa oregon or yut send half orator half murderer to represent their anger and greed in Washington Let them behave as they will and the disposition of the territories and public lands the need to balance and keep in check the susceptible majorities of Irish Germans and millions of natives will give promptness and reason at last to our buffalo hunters and authority and majesty of customs the instinct of the people is accurate the people expect from the good bigs who have come to office for the respectability of the country much less ability to deal with Mexico Spain or Great Britain or with our own disaffected member states than the one they had firmly transgressors like Jefferson or Jackson who first conquered their own government and then used the same genius to conquer abroad. The senators who [Music] dissented were not those who had the most on the matter but rather those who could afford it due to their political position, not Webster but vent ni cal. jun, that power certainly does not dress in silk, it is the power of the lench law of soldiers and pirates that abuses the peaceful loyalists, however, it seeks its own antidote And that is what I defend that all types of power tend to good energy and bad energy spring forth at the same time, mental power and physical health, the ecstasies of devotion and the exasperations of corruption, the same elements are always present, sometimes some are more visible and sometimes others, what was ahead yesterday is today. The background, what was superficial, now plays a no less effective role as a basis. The longer the drought, the more charged the atmosphere with water. The faster the projectile approaches the sun, the harder it will fall on morality. Wild freedom nourishes a consciousness of iron, natures with stronger impulses will have more resources and will go further in politics, the children of democrats will become red republicanism in the father, it is a spasm of nature that will engender an intolerable tyrant in the next generation. On the other hand, conservatism that is always more timorous and narrow disgusts young people and pushes them in search of a breath of fresh air to radicalism, those who are overflowing with that crude energy, the quarrelsome ones to face, the general contempt. in the elections and the taverns of the County or the ad, despite their vices, they have a nature endowed with strength and courage, fierce and unscrupulous, they are usually frank and direct and are above falsehood, our politics is not in good hands and there seems to be I agree that churchy and refined men are not the right people to go to congress, politics is a deleterious profession like some poisonous occupations in power, men do not have opinions but any opinion is valid for any purpose and if it were a question Among the most courteous and the crudest, I would lean towards the last ones, Osier and Saker, they are actually better than the jote an opposition. Their departure is at least daring and virile, against the unanimous declarations of the people. They see. How many crimes the people endure, they go step by step. step after having calculated to what extent the governors of New England and the honorable legislators of New England can count on their excellencies, the messages of the governors and the resolutions of the legislative chambers are proverbial in expressing a false virtuous indignation that the course of events will also lie in commerce that energy usually takes on an aspect of ferocity philanthropic and religious corporations do not choose saints for their positions the communities founded until now by social Jesuits by royalist the American communities of New harmony in broar are only possible As long as Judas is the butler, the rest of the positions can be filled by good bourgeois. The pious and charitable owner does not have such a pious foreman. And charitable, the kindest of the Rural Gentlemen takes a certain pleasure in the teeth of the bg who guards his garden, he is an old man. proverb that the society of the tremblers send to the market the [ __ ] in the representations of the deity, painting, poetry and popular religion have brought out the wrath of hell according to a certain esoteric doctrine of society, a little evil is good for making muscles as if conscience were not good for the hands and legs, as if the poor and outdated formalists of law and order could not run like mountain goats, wolves and rabbits, just as poison is used in medicine, the world cannot do without The Knaves and the public spirit and the ready hand are also found among the wicked. The coincidence of private tricks and political practice with the public spirit and good neighborliness is not uncommon. I met a strong Bonifacio who for years ran a tavern in a of our Rural cities he was a scoundrel whom the city could not stand, a vascular social type who was avaricious and selfish, there was no crime that he had not perpetrated or could perpetrate, but he made good friends among the elected men, he served them the best chops when they dined in his establishment and even He was cordial with the honorable judge and shook his hand. He attracted all the scoundrels, male or female, to the city and gathered in his person the functions of intimidation, arsonist, forger, tavernkeeper and thief. One night he cut down the trees and the moderate people, Alexon, the drunks. and radicals in a citizen meeting otherwise Cortés appeared plump and affable in his tavern as if he were profiting. The most zealous of the citizens in preserving the public spirit worked hard to repair the roads and plant trees on the edge he supported the construction of fountains the installation of gas and telegraph, he introduced the mechanical sweeper, he built bridges and whatever the citizens of Kare admired, he did all this with the same ease with which the bonero stayed in his house and paid for his stay by setting his traps on the landowner’s lands although That capacity for original and executive work is deformed by excess, just as the ax slips from our hands. Evil is not without remedy. The elements that man invokes to help him sometimes become his master. Especially those of a more subtle force would have to renounce steam, fire and electricity or learn to deal with them. The rule in these cases is that any Plus is good if it is in the right place. Men who have that abundance of arterial blood cannot live on nuts tea and elegies they cannot read novels and play beast they cannot satisfy their needs with the Thursday lecture and the Boston Athenaeum they long for adventure and must reach the top of the game they would rather succumb to the ax of a paune than sit down all day in an office they are made for war the sea the mines the house and logging for dangerous adventures the constant risks and the joy of life full of events some men could not endure an hour of calm at sea I remember a poor Malay cook on board a Liverpool packet who when the gale blew could not contain his joy blow shout blow I tell you friends and governors would have to provide a vent for his explosive nature the braggarts destined for infamy at home would cover you of Glory if you sent them to Mexico and they would return as heroes and generals. There are enough Californian origins and exploration expeditions in America for young Englishmen to enlist in columns and be eaten by crocodiles. They are beautiful animals full of blood and when there are no Wars in which to express their revolted courage, they undertake journeys as dangerous as war and sink into the milestones, they swim across the hellespont, they swim across the Nevado and Malaya, they go to León’s house of the elephant’s rhinoceros in South Africa or they tour with the gypsies as bourou Spain and Algeria domesticate the Caiman in South America like Waterton they use the Bedouins as sheikhs and pachas with layar they sort through the isbergs of Lancaster Sound they look into the craters in Ecuador or count the wrinkles of the Malays of Borneo excess virility is so important in history in general as in private and Industrial life The powerful Race or the powerful individual rests on natural forces that are better in the savage who, like the beasts that surround him, still receives milk from the udders of nature, break the relationship between any of our works and this original source and the work will be trivial, people lean on this side and the crowd is not as bad an argument as we sometimes say because it has its good side, march without the people said a French deputy from the rostrum and I will march into the night your instincts are the finger of Providence that always points towards a real benefit but if you [Music] unison Montal Lemberg or any other that is not an organic party Even if your intention is good you will have a personality instead of a principle What will inevitably relegate you to a corner? The best anecdotes of that force come from the wild life of explorers, soldiers and buccaneers, but who cares about the prostration of murderers, bear fights or the formation of the Isberg? Physical force has no value. where there is nothing but snow in the snowfields, fire in the volcanoes and solfataras are cheap, ice is a luxury in tropical countries and on summer days it is a nujo to have some fire in our home and electricity is not available. discharges from the closed cloud but the manageable current of the cables the same happens with the spirit or energy the remains or memories of it in the man Courteous and moral are worth all the cannibals of the Pacific the great moment of history takes place when the savage begins to stop being wild with all its hairy pelagic strength directed by its incipient sense of beauty then you will have Pericles and Phidias before Corinthian politeness overcomes it everything that is good in nature and in the world is found in that moment of transition when the dark juices still flow in abundance from nature and ethics and humanity have removed their astringency and harshness the triumphs of peace are very close to war while the handle of the weapon is still familiar to the hand sword while the habits of the camp are still visible in the carriage and character of the knight, his intellectual power culminates compression and The tension of such severe conditions is a preparation for more refined and delicate arts that rarely compensate in calm times except for an analogous vigor drawn from occupations as harsh as war. We have said that success is constitutional and that it depends on a Plus of the mind and body of the working power of courage is most effective in coping with the world and although it is rarely in good condition to be a commercial item and is more frequent on the contrary in the saturation and excess that make it dangerous and destructive we cannot waste it and we have to accept it that way and find something that blunts its edge the affirmative class monopolizes the homage of humanity its members originate and execute all the feats what force was gathered in Napoleon’s skull apparently from the 60,000 men who formed His army numbering 30,000 were thieves and robbers, he closely dealt with those men who in peaceful communities would be kept trapped if we could in prisons or under the muskets of the Sentinels, he pushed them to do their duty and achieved victory thanks to his bayonets. Original power provides a surprising pleasure when it appears in conditions of supreme refinement as in the experts in high art when Michelangelo was forced to paint the Cystine Chapel in fresco art of which he knew nothing went down to the Pope’s gardens behind the Vatican and he dug red and yellow ochers with a roast, he mixed them with glue and water with his own hands and when he got what he needed after many tests he climbed his stairs and painted week after week month after month the sibyls and the prophets he surpassed his predecessors in his stubborn vigor as much as in The Purity of Conception and Refinement he did not succumb to the only painting he left unfinished Miguel first drew the skeleton of his figures then he covered them with flesh and finally covered them Ah a good painter told me thinking of These things, if a man has dreamed, instead of working, there is no other way to achieve success in our art than to take off your jacket, grind the paint and work like a laborer on the railroad all day and every day he accompanies the success invariably certain Plus or positive power an ounce of power to balance an ounce of weight Although a man cannot return to his mother’s womb and be born with more liveliness there are two types of economy that are the best supposing that the case admits the first It is to interrupt our mycellaneous activity and concentrate Our strength in one or a few points like the gardener who, with severe pruning, forces the sap of the tree into one or two vigorous limbs instead of allowing it to sprout into a few rods, "don’t increase your destiny," said the oracle Do not try to do more than what has been assigned to you, the only prudence in life lies in concentration, the only evil is dissipation and it makes no difference whether our dissipations are rude or retinal, property and its cares, friends and habit. social politics music o The banquet is good everything when he takes one more toy and deception and returns us home so that we can add another effort of reliable work friends books paintings minor duties talents praises hopes are distractions that They make our fragile balloon oscillate and prevent it from righting itself and embarking on a fixed course. You must choose your work. I will undertake what is within your reach and you will leave the rest alone so that the vital force can accumulate to take the step from knowledge to action. No matter how much capacity. to look without seeing has a man The step from knowledge to action as soon as it is taken is a step to get out of the chalk circle of impotence to fruition more than an artist who has not given it lacks everything and looks with despair at the masculine angelo asini he too is prepared to think about nature and the first cause But he lacks the drive to gather his whole being and incline it to a single action Campbell the poet said that a man accustomed to work was equal to any of his achievements in terms of he necessity Not inspiration was the stimulus of his Muse concentration is the secret of strength in politics in war in commerce in short In the handling of any human affair, one of the highest anecdotes in the world is Nutn’s answer to the question of how he had been able to achieve his discoveries. That was my intention. If you prefer a text on politics, take this one from Plutarch in all the way. In the city there was only one street on which Pericles could be seen. The street that led from the market to the assembly declined invitations to banquets and joyful gatherings. And the company during his government never dined at a friend’s house. We look for an example in the commerce I hope a good man told Rochil that your children are not too fond of money and business I am sure you would not want it I am sure you want it I want to give you Courage Soul heart and body for business is the way to be happy It requires a lot of daring and caution to gather a great fortune and once you have it, it requires 10 times more Ingenuity to preserve it. If I had to attend to all the projects that come my way, I would go bankrupt immediately. Apply yourself to your business, young man, apply yourself to your brewery, he told the young Buston. and he will be the biggest brewer in London be a brewer banker merchant and manufacturer and will soon appear in the gazette there are many men who know many who are apprehensive and tenacious but they do not make a decision in our affairs however you must make a decision the best if you can Although any one is better than none there are 20 ways to get to a place and one is the shortest but get going right away a man who has such presence of mind that he instantly remembers what he knows is more worthy of action than a dozen who know more but it can only be remembered little by little the good speaker of the chamber is not the one who knows the theory of parliamentary tactics but the man who decides without hesitation the good judge is not the one who reluctantly does justice to any allegation but the one who with The purpose of substantial justice sentences something unintelligible to the litigants. The good lawyer is not the one who has an eye for every nook and cranny of contingencies and qualifies everything that can be qualified, but rather the one who takes your side without reservation and gets rid of the trouble. Dr. Johnsen said in one of its miserable occurrences to the most unimaginable extremes of misery is that unhappy couple condemned to reduce In advance to the principles of abstract reason all the details of domestic life there are times when very little can be said and much is What should be done The second substitute for temperament is exercise The power of habit and routine The Percheron travels the roads better than the Arabian horse in chemistry The slow but continuous galvanic current is equivalent in power to the electric shock and is preferable in our occupations in human action to the impulse of energy we oppose the continuity of the exercise we develop the same force for a longer time instead of condensing in a moment the same ounce of gold there is in a bullet as in a sheet at West Point Colonel Buffer Chief of engineers hit the stumps of a cannon with a hammer until they broke he heated an artillery piece 100 times in a row until it burned what blow broke the stump all what flame burned the piece all dend pass essense Enrique used to say 8 that is to say The exercise is magnificent and kemble said that the most provincial theater company would perform a piece better than the best amateur company. ael loved to show that the worst regular troops defeated the best volunteers practice is almost everything Speaking to the crowd is good practice for orators the great speakers were bad 7 years of electoral tours of England made cob an accomplished debater 14 years of electoral tours of new england training wandle philips the way to learn german is to read the same peace dozen more over and over again up to 100 up Know every word and panicle they contain and be able to pronounce them out loud and repeat them by heart. A genius could not recite a ballad after having read it only once, but mediocre people would not be able to do it after reading it 15 or 20 times. The rule of Irish hospitality and help. It’s having the same dinner every night all year long. In the end, Mrs. Osa Ugnis learns to cook it. the host carves it and the guests are served. A comedian friend of mine believes that the reason why nature is perfect in its own way and achieves such inconceivable sunsets is that he has learned by doing the same thing that we often don’t talk better about a topic of which we have experience than about another that is new to us, the men whose opinion is valued in the stock market are those who have a valuable experience outside of which their opinion is no longer exercise perfects more than nature, said Democritus, friction is so enormous in nature that we cannot waste any power, it is not about expressing our thought of choosing Our path but about overcoming the resistance of the environment and the material in everything we do from here comes the usefulness of exercise and the inability of the amateurs to emulate the experts 6 hours of piano a day just to achieve a more agile touch 6 hours of painting a day just to manage the hateful materials oil, ochres and brushes teachers say they recognize a master in music just by seeing how he puts his hands on the keys, so difficult and vital is the handling of the instrument, having learned to use the tools after manipulating them a thousand times, having learned to count after adding and dividing infinitely, is the power of the mechanic and the accountant, I observed in England. confirming a frequent experience here that in literary circles the men of trust and consideration, writers, editors, university deans and professors, bishops, were not the men endowed with the greatest literary talent but with a minor and ordinary intelligence endowed with talent for work and commercial activity. Indifferent and mediocre writers, by directing their forces towards profit or by The power of work, surpass multitudes of superior men in the old England and in the new. I have not forgotten that there are sublime considerations that limit the value of talent and superficial success we can overvalue. without realizing it to the vulgar hero there are sources from which we have not drunk I know what I abstain from I leave what I have to say about this for the chapters on culture and worship but we must respect that strength of spirit that is to say the means that Nature provides for carrying out each day’s work to the extent that we give importance to domestic life and the prizes of the world. I believe that a certain economy must be applied. Exact laws and arithmetic are valid for that force, as in relation to fluids. and the gases must be administered or they will be wasted. A man is only efficient if he contains or harbors that force and nothing has been achieved in history worthy of memory by any other means. It is not about Gold but about the goldsmith. It is not about fame but of prowess if those forces and their management are within our reach and we can interpret their laws then we deduce that success and any imaginable benefit for man will also sooner or later be within his reach and that there are sublime economies by which The world can be achieved is mathematical and lacks chance in all its vast, swinging curve success is no more eccentric than the gingham and muslin that our mills weave I don’t think there is a more penetrating lesson for our busy, hard-pressed New England brains than going to a of the factories that dot the waterways of the states, a man does not realize that he is a machine until he begins to build the telegraph, the loom, the press and the locomotive in his image, but in doing so he is forced to abandon his follies. and impediments so that when we go to the Mill the machine is more moral than we are Let a man go to a loom and see if he can match it Let the machine compare itself with the machine and see how they fare the world of the mill is more complex That the world of calico and the architect does not deign less to recognize that in the gingham mill a broken thread or a Girón loses the mesh in a piece of 100 yards that returns to the girl who wove it and reduces her salary the owner, when he is informed of this, he rubs his hands with pleasure. You are so astute, Mr. Loss and Profits, to believe that the boss and the worker will be left. Tangled in its web one day it is a dress more splendid than any muslin the mechanism that procures it is infinitely more cunning and you will not be able to hide the wasted fraudulent and lost hours that you have wasted on the piece without the fear that an honest thread or a hardest piece of steel or an inflexible shuttle does not testify in the network three wealth who could say what happened a long time ago when above the lifeless globe hung idle stars and suns To what god did the elements obey on the wings of which wind did the lie and sway the tiny seeds of power that lodged in the rock erodibility [Music] in the air-damaged matter the following centuries obtained the tangled and extensive thickness from which would emerge the leaves of the times that would cover and hide the granite slabs before that the grain will shake with golden pride that blacksmiths in the Forge forged in confused dark and silent eons that the stunned brain can barely compute the copper and the iron, the lead and the gold, what ancient Star could save the fame of the races that perished and covering the planet with a soil of lime dust is its pyramid and its mass who could see that the facts and Palmas were crushed under the bosom of the mountains crumbled in the herbal sure of Coal when the piles of material were piled up everything was left vacant and without courage until the wise will arrived that chooses and from silt and chaos Ingenuity unwound the threads of beauty and proportion Then the cities were erected the markets the work workshop the hall of the arts then the sails sailed the seas to feed the north with tropical trees the storm wind blew gushed The torrent and the rivers ran through their channels new slaves fulfilled the poet’s dream the galvanic cable and the strong-shouldered steamer Then the docks were raised and the crops and products were stored ingots were added to the aryan Even if the inattentive man forgot it the matter would remember it and pay its debt of its motes and masses it will obtain electric shocks and legal bonds that will bind the forces of wild nature to the consciousness of a child as soon as a stranger appears In a meeting, one of the first questions that everyone would want him to answer is: How do you make a living? Is it reasonable? You will not be a complete man until you know how to lead an impeccable way of life. Society will be Barbara as long as an enterprising man cannot make a living. Without resorting to dishonorable customs, all men are consumers and have to produce. He who limits himself to paying what he owes without adding anything to the common wealth will not be able to make a place for himself in the world, nor will he do justice to his genius if what he asks of the world is nothing more than a mere subsistence by its Constitution man is expensive and needs to enrich himself wealth has its source in the applications of intelligence to nature from the rough blows of the plow and the ax to the last secrets of art there are intimate links between thought and production because a higher order is equivalent to large quantities of raw work forces and resistance belong to nature but intelligence takes things from where they are abundant to where they are lacking combines them wisely directs the practice of useful arts and creates more refined values through the Fine Arts, eloquence, singing or reproductions of memory, wealth lies in the applications of intelligence to nature and the art of becoming rich does not consist of industry, much less of savings, but rather of an order. superior in the opportunity to be in the right place one has stronger arms or longer legs another B due to the course of the currents and the growth of the markets where it is needed Earth diverts the river goes to sleep and wakes up rich the steam It is no more powerful now than it was 100 years ago, but it is more useful. An attentive man becomes familiar with the expansive force of steam and sees how the wealth of grain and pasture in Michigan is being wasted, then he astutely applies the pipe of steam to the grain harvest blows now steam the steam blows spreads as before but now carries all of Michigan behind it For hungry New York and hungry England, coal lay underground since the flood until a worker with a pick and a lathe brought it to the surface. We might as well call coal Black Diamond, every basket we extract is power and civilization. For the Coal is a portable climate, it carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the Polar Circle and is its own means of transportation wherever it is needed. Bat and Stevenson whispered in the ear of humanity their secret, half an ounce of steam drags 2 tons along a mile and coal carries coal by train and ship so that Canada is as warm as Calcutta and with its comfort provides industrial power the peaches that the farmer picks from the tree and carries to the city take on a new look and are 100 times more valuable than the fruit that has remained on the same branches and rots in abundance on the ground the art of the merchant consists of taking something from where it is abundant to where it costs more wealth begins with a solid roof that protects a good pump to provide us with plenty of fresh water two suits so we can change when we are soaked dry wood to burn a good double lamp three meals a horse or means of transport to explore the countryside a boat to sail the sea tools to work with books to read and in the same way everything that by means of auxiliary tools and instruments of the greatest possible extension to our powers as if adding feet hands eyes blood and duration to the day knowledge and good will wealth begins with these necessary articles here we must recite the iron law with which nature resonates in the northern climes first requires that each man support himself if fortunately his parents have left him nothing in inheritance he will have to work and by reducing his needs or increasing his earnings he will get out of the state of misery and vexation in which nature forces the beggar to live will not give him rest until he achieves it will starve him to ridicule and torment him will remove from him warmth laughter sleep to friends and the light of day until he has braved To earn your bread then in a less pressing way but with sufficient encouragement, you will be urged to acquire everything that belongs to you. The store and the shop window, the fruit tree and thought awaken a new need in which it is up to you to satisfy your power and dignity. It is useless to reduce that need philosophers link the greatness of man to the scarcity of his needs But who would be content with a cabin and a bunch of dry peas man is born to be rich his relationships are broad and his appetite and his fantasies tempt him to conquest from one part or another of nature until he finds his well-being in the use of his planet and more planets than his wealth requires in addition to the crust of bread and the roof the freedom of the city the freedom of the earth travel machinery the benefit of science, music, fine arts and the best of culture and the best company the man who can use all human faculties will be rich the richest will be the one who knows how to benefit from the work of the greatest number of men in countries distant and in past times the same correspondence that exists between thirst in the stomach and water in the Source occurs between the whole of man and the whole of nature. The elements offer their services to him, the sea that bathes the Equator and the Polos offers him his dangerous help and the power and the Empire that follow him day by day to his skill and audacity, be careful with me, he says, but if you manage to hold me, I am the key to all the lands, fire offers him, for his part, a similar power. fire, steam, lightning, gravity, rock veins, iron and lead mines, mercury, tin and gold, forests of all kinds, fruits of all climates, animals from any area, the powers of cultivation, the factories of your chemical laboratory, networks of his loom the masculine thrust of his locomotive the talismans of the machinery shops everything great and subtle minerals gases the ether the passions the war the commerce the government are his toys natural and according to the degree of excellence of the Machinery in each human being, he will lean towards one or another of the instruments that he has to use. The world is his toolbox and he will be successful or his education will go far to the extent that his faculties are developed. correspond with nature or absorb things into themselves the strong race is in those terms the Saxons are the merchants of the world now and for 1000 years they will be the dominant race thanks to their personal independence and their special modification as Pecuniary independence do not trust the bread and circuses of the government nor of kinship nor of the patriarchal style of life based on the income of a boss nor of marriage of convenience is not satisfied by any clientelistic system, each one has to pay his share. The English are prosperous and peaceful and have the habit of consider that each man has to take care of himself and reproach if he cannot maintain and improve his position in society, economics is mixed with morality since it is a matter of virtue that cannot be postponed that a man’s independence is guaranteed, poverty demoralizes a man in Debt is a slave and on Wall Street they think that it is easy for a millionaire to be a man of his word, a man of honor, and that if circumstances change, a man can no longer be trusted to maintain his integrity when looking at mansions in hotels. of our Atlantic capitals the habit of wasting The tumult of the senses the absence of kinship ties of any type of camaraderie we think that if we put a man or a woman between a rock and a hard place the opportunities to demonstrate their integrity will diminish terribly as if Virtue was becoming a luxury that few can afford or, as Burke said, in a market that is too expensive for humanity, each person could set the inventory of needs and pleasures on the scale they wanted, but if what they seek is power and privilege of thought to outline your career and be part of society in these terms you will have to limit your needs to your ability to satisfy them the virile thing is to act at the limit of our possibilities the world is full of whippersnappers who have never done anything and who have convinced beautiful women and men of Genius to dress like them and I share their opinion that it would not be respectable for them to see them earn a living that it is much more respectable to spend without earning this doctrine of the serpent will soon be that of the Chosen children of light because wise men are not wise at all times and for every occasion in which they obey their reason there are five in which they follow their taste and their humor. The enterprising worker who could discover his feelings in the way he behaves if he did not succumb to his practice would have to Replacing wasted grace or elegance with the merit of the work does not matter whether you make statues or laws. The privilege of any human work well done is to invest its creator with a certain arrogance. He whose work is responsible for the mechanic can afford not to be conciliatory. On his stool he has a calm and firm spirit and treats others, whatever their condition, on the same terms. The artist has created an image so true that it baffles critics. The Statue is so beautiful that the market does not splash it. It is the market which becomes a silent gallery for her the case was not attractive for the young lawyer an unimportant matter of buttons or pliers but he saw the way to introduce with determination his dangerous wedge he did not take into account its insignificance and due to his good sense and energy brought fame to the name and business of the PTIT Teton box factory. The society of big cities is infantile and wealth is a toy. The life of pleasure is so ostentatious that a superficial observer would come to believe that this is the best use. that could be given to wealth and that, no matter how much it is pretended, it ends up being like a pet, but if that were the main use of accumulated capital, it would take us to the barricades, to burned cities, and to tomahawks. Sensible men consider that wealth consists of assimilating nature in converting the sap and juices of the planet into the Incarnation is food for their purposes, power is what they want, not candy, power to carry out what they have proposed and give legs and feet shape and relevance to their thoughts, which for the clairvoyant man is the purpose for which he exists. the universe and what its resources are applied to Columbus thinks that the Sphere is both a practical problem of navigation and a theoretical problem of geometry and judges that all kings and people are cowardly men of the dry land until they dare to equip the few Men have belonged to the planet as much as he did, however he was condemned to leave a good part of his map blank. His Successors inherited his map and inherited his Fury to finish it in the same way as the men of the mines of the telegraph of the map mill and the expeditions the monomaniacs who talk about their projects in markets and offices and call on others to subscribe to them How our factories have been built How the railway network of North America would have been laid out without the impertinence of speakers Like those who dragged the prudent with them A party does not consist of the madness of many. For the benefit of a few, that speculative genius consists of the madness of a few. For the benefit of the world, the projectors sacrifice themselves and the public wins. Those idealists who work for thought would tyrannize the public if they could. But other speculators as fervent as them oppose them and the reactions maintain the balance just as one tree fells another in the forest so that it does not absorb all the sap from the ground, the supplement to nature that railway presidents, copper miners , smokers and railroad guards represent. fire extinguisher has its limit in the same law that maintains the proportion in the supply of Coal, alum and hydrogen. To be rich is to have an entry card to masterpieces and a gray hair of presentation before the eminent men of the race is to possess the sea when traveling. visit the mountains the Niagara the Nile the desert Rome Paris Constantinople tour galleries libraries arsenals factories The reader of Humboldt’s cosmos follows the journey of a man whose eyes, ears and intelligence were equipped with all the sciences, arts and supplements that humanity has been accumulating and that he used them to increase that reserve, this is what happens with denon beckford bson wilkinson lard kane lepsius or livingstone the rich man says sadi he is expected everywhere and everywhere he feels at home the rich man brings something more of the world to the life of the man, the rich include the countryside and the city, the ocean, the white mountains, the Far West and the old European mansions in his notion of the available material. The world belongs to those who have the money to explore it. He arrives at the seashore and a sumptuous ship offers him a carpet over the stormy Atlantic and becomes a luxury hotel in the midst of the horror of The Tempest the Persians say that for those who wear shoes the whole world is covered in leather we say that kings have long arms but any man should have them and extracting his life, his instruments, his power and his knowledge of the sun, the moon and the stars, the demand to become rich is not legitimate. However, I have not met anyone who was rich, I have never seen a man as rich as he should be or with a capacity of proper command over nature, the pulpits and the press abound in commonplaces when denouncing the desire for wealth, but if men obeyed these moralists to the letter and stopped trying to enrich themselves, the moralists would rush to revive the love of the power of the people so that civilization does not crumble man’s own ideas lead him to take command of nature culture comes from the wealth of the Roman Caesars of Leo x of The magnificent kings of France of the great Dukes of Tuscany of The Dukes of de bons of townley bernon and pil in England of any of the great owners we are all interested in there being a Vatican and a lubre museum full of noble works of art a British museum and the Botanical Garden in France a Academy of Natural History in Philadelphia and a Bodleian or Ambrosian or Royal or Congress Library at We are all interested in the fact that there are expeditions that Captain Cook travels around the world and that the Ross Franklin Richardson or Kane find the magnetic and geographical Pole enriches us, the measurement of one more degree of latitude on the surface of the Earth makes navigation safer. by letter, our knowledge of the system of the universe depends intimately on all that, a true State or individual economy would forget its frugality in light of demands like these. Although anyone is interested in not only having comforts and a way of life that suits them, but also wealth and surplus value does not need to be in your hand they are often undesirable get was right in saying that no one except someone who knows how to do it would be rich some men are born to be owners and liven all their possessions others could not possess without grace compromised by their character as If they stole their own dividends, only those who knew how to manage them should have properties, not those who hoard and save them nor those who, the more property they hoard, the meaner they are, but those who work for others and pave the way for everyone. The rich is he who enriches others and the poor is the one. that impoverishes them the problem of civilization is to give everyone access to the masterpieces of art and nature socialism of our day has done a great service by making people think that everyone could enjoy certain civilizing benefits hitherto reserved to the opulent, for example, to provide each man with the means and apparatus of science and the arts, there are many articles appropriate for the occasion, which very few have at their disposal, everyone wants to see the ring of Saturn, the satellites and belts of Jupiter, V Mars, the mountains. and the craters of the moon but very few can buy a telescope and hardly anyone would take the trouble to preserve it and keep it in good condition. The same happens with electrical and chemical devices and many similar things, anyone should have the opportunity to consult books about which He does not mind lacking, like encyclopedias, dictionaries, classifications, maps or public documents, images of animals, beasts, fish, shells, trees and flowers whose name he would like to know, the arts of design exert a refined influence on the mood as positive as that of music and which does not spring from no other source, painting, engravings, molds, in addition to their initial cost, they involve other expenses such as galleries and guards to exhibit them and the use that any man can make of them is rare but the increase in their value depends on how many men can share their enjoyment. In Greek cities it was considered a desecration for someone to own a work of art that belonged to everyone who saw it. Sometimes I think that if I lived in a big city and knew where I should go every time I wanted ablution and flooding of the musical waves would be for me a bath and a medicine if the states the cities and lyceums owned the works of art they would reinforce the bonds of the community a city can exist with an intellectual purpose in Europe where feudal forms ensure the conservation of the wealth in certain families, those families buy and preserve those works and allow the public to see them, but in America where democratic institutions divide each state into small portions, the public has to go after a few years to the home of those owners and obtain culture and inspiration to the citizen man is born to enrich himself and his wealth inevitably increases with the use of his faculties and the union of thought with nature property is an intellectual production the game requires players coldness accurate reasoning speed and patience cultivated work replaces to brute work an infinite number of astute men for infinite years have sought ways to do things better better and faster and that skill accumulated in the Arles in the cultures in the harvests in the cures in the manufactures in the navigation and in the exchanges currently constitutes the value of our world commerce is a game of skill that not everyone knows how to play and in which few play well the true trader is one who has the right average of the faculties we call common sense a man with a firm affinity for facts and According to what he sees, he is completely convinced of the truths of arithmetic, there is always a reason in man for his good or bad fortune and therefore, in order for him to make money, men talk as if it were a matter of magic and believe in magic throughout his life but the merchant knows that everything goes along the beaten path pound by pound penny by penny a perfect cause for each effect and that good luck is another man for tenacity he makes sure of any transaction and prefers the small and sure profits honesty and fidelity to the facts form the basis but the masters of the art add a broader arithmetic the problem lies in combining many and remote operations with the accuracy and adherence to the facts so simple in small transactions ride until reaching gigantic results without compromising security Napoleon loved to tell the story of the banker from Marseille, who told a visitor surprised by the contrast between the splendor of the house and the hospitality of the banker and the narrowness of the office where he had seen him. you are young Too young to understand How masses are formed the true and only power whether they are money, water or men It is always the same a mass is an immense center of movement But it must have a beginning and be preserved and I could have added that the way to begin and maintain is obedience to the law of particles, success lies in a strict application of the laws of the world and since these laws are intellectual and moral in an intellectual and moral obedience, political economy is such a good book for read the life of man and the ascendancy of the laws over any private and hostile influence like any Bible that has come down to us. Money is representative and follows the nature and fortunes of the owner. Currency is a delicate measure of civil, social and moral changes. The farmer is greedy for his dollar and with good reason for him it is not a good thing he knows How many hours of work it represents His bones ache after a day of work to earn it he knows How much land represents How much rain How much frost and how many rays of the sun he knows How much discretion and patience. How many hours of hard work and threshing do you get with the dollar? Try to lift that dollar and you will have to lift all that weight in the city where money comes from a mockery of the pen or a lucky replica, it is considered light. I would like you to The farmer will appreciate it more and will spend it only on real bread. Force by force, the farmer’s dollar is heavy and the light and active office worker’s dollar comes out of his pocket and jumps to the gaming tables. Although the most curious thing is its susceptibility to metaphysical changes. It is the most sensitive barometer of social storms and announces revolutions. Every step in civil improvement increases the value of the dollar in California, the country where the dollar thrives. What could we buy with it? A few years ago, a ridiculous dysentery, hunger, bad companies and crime, there are great countries. like Siberia where even today we could not buy more except for a meager alleviation of suffering in Rome we would buy beauty and magnificence 40 years ago with or we would not have bought much in Boston now we could buy much more in our old city thanks to the railroads the telegraph The ships to steam and the simultaneous growth of New York and the entire country, however, there are many goods typical of a capital that we could not acquire here even with a mountain of dollars, a Florida dollar is not worth a Massachusetts dollar, the dollar is not valuable but representative of value and after moral values a dollar is valued by the grain that can be bought with it or strictly speaking not by the grain or the house but by the Athenian grain and the Roman house by Wit, honesty and power thanks to whom we eat bread and live in houses that we share and for which that we make an effort wealth is mental wealth is moral the value of or lies in buying the right things a day increases its value with the genius and virtue of the world a day in college is worth more than or in prison it is worth more in a sensible community cultivated and respectful of the law that in a den of crime where dice, knives and Arsenic play their eternal game the bank index is a very useful publication but the current silver or paper dollar is in itself the index of good and the evil Where it circulates does not suddenly increase with the increase of equity, if a merchant refuses to sell his vote or takes refuge in an odious right, it makes equity increase in Massachusetts and the State acre is more valuable for the same reason if you take the 10 most honest anes on ST Street and put 10 Knaves in charge of the same amount of capital the insurance rates will tell you the solidity of the banks will show you the roads will be less safe the schools will warn you the children will take to home his small dose of poison the judge will sit with less serenity on the bench and his decisions will be less fair Because he will have lost too many supports and the capacity for restriction that everyone needs the [ __ ] will reveal him in a more lax rule of life if possible every day for a long time and you remove the fertilized soil and put sand on its roots in its place, I will ruin it. An Apple tree is a stupid creature. But if this procedure were maintained for a certain time, I think I would begin to suspect something. If you take The Powerful class. dedicated to commerce 100 good men and you put 100 bad men in their place Or what is the same I chose a demoralizing institution I will not spoil the dollar that is not a creature much more stupid than El Manzano the value of a dollar is social because has been created by society whoever moves to this city with talent or ability to buy will give more value to anyone’s work if a talent is born in the world the community of Nations becomes even richer with another degree of honesty The cost of crime which is one of the main burdens of any nation will be reduced in Europe it has been observed that crime increases or decreases depending on the price of bread if in Paris the shil do not accept a promissory note the people of Manchester pasley or birminham will take to the streets and the landowners will be murdered in Ireland the police records confirm it the vibrations come New York New Orleans and Chicago in a not very different way the economic power hits the masses Through the political gentlemen Rochil rejects the Russian loan and there is peace and the crops They are saved, they accept it and there is War and turmoil that affects a large part of humanity with odious results that end in a Revolution and a new order. Wealth provides its own checks and balances. The basis of political economy is non- interference, the only rule. sure is found in a balance of supply and demand that adjusts itself do not legislate put yourself in the middle and I will break the tendons with your sumptuary laws do not give suspensions make equitable laws assured giving alms open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue and they themselves will do justice and property will not be in bad hands in a free and fair community property passes from the idle and imbecile to the enterprising Brave and persevering the laws of nature play with commerce just as batteries show the effects of electricity supply and demand do not maintain the level of the sea any more than the balance of value in society the artifice of legislation finds its punishment in reactions to abundance and bankruptcy sublime laws play indifferently with atoms and galaxies who knows what happens to the earn and eat a slice of bread and a pint of beer and that no one can change at will the rigorous limits of pints and slices and that the more you consume the less is left in the basket and the pot and that what comes out of them is not loses but has been well spent if he feeds his body and enables it to finish its work he knows all the political economy that the budgets of empires could teach him the interest of the domestic economy is that symbolization of the great economy the way in which A house and the methods of an individual agree with the solar system and the laws of supply and demand in all nature. No matter how tired we are of the falsehoods and the little tricks that we suicidally exchange with each other, men obtain certain satisfaction when their attitude comes up against inevitable facts when they realize that things themselves set the price as they usually do and it is obvious that they do in big industries your role is neither refined nor coarse enough it is too heavy or too light The manufacturer says that will give you the thickness or thinness that you want, the pattern is completely indifferent to you. Here is your card, any cheaper or more expensive paper with the prices in an annex, a pound of paper costs that much and you can apply the pattern that you like the most, there is in all our dealings a self-regulation that goes beyond what we could say you want to rent a house But it has to be cheap the owner could reduce the rent But in this way it would be impossible to make the necessary repairs and the tenant would not have the house he wanted but a worse one too. A harmful relationship would be established between the landlord and the tenant. Fire your employee with these words, Patrick, I will send for you. As soon as I can’t do without you, Patrick leaves happy because he knows that the weeds will grow next to the potatoes that will have to be planted. strains next week no matter how much you dislike melons, pumpkins and cucumbers, they will go in search of them, who could wish that work and value were in the same simple and undersupplied market, only if that market were the best, let’s count in turns. throughout the year with the van maker the blacksmith the landowner the priest the poet the doctor the cook the weaver the stable boy If a Michaelmas pear sells for a shilling it costs a shilling to produce it if in Boston the best insurance companies offer an interest of 12 because there is only 6% insecurity. Maybe you don’t realize that a good pear costs you a shilling, but it costs the community the same. The shilling represents the number of enemies the pear has and the risk of ripening. The price of Coal shows the scarcity of the deposit and the mandatory confinement of the miners in a District. Salaries depend on services that are as contingent as they are real. If the wind was always favorable, says the pilot, women could take the helm, someone could suggest that all things they have the same price that nothing is cheap or expensive and that the apparent disparities that surprise us are a trick of the grocer to hide that you have taken the worst part a young man who comes to the city from his native farm in New Hampshire without having forgotten his lifestyle he stays in a first class hotel and convinces himself that he is smarter than Drct Franklin and Maltus because luxuries are cheap but for the pleasure of a better dinner he loses some of the greatest social and educational advantages he loses that protects him, what incentives, perhaps he will realize that he has left the Muses at the door of the hotel and found the furies inside. Money often costs too much, neither power nor pleasure are cheap. The ancient poet said, "The gods sell it." all at a high price there is an example of the compensations in the commercial history of this country when the European Wars left commercial transportation between 1800 and 1812 in American hands the embargo of American ships was decreed of course the losses were considerable for the owners but the country remained unscathed because we imposed three pence per pound on the transport of cotton, six pence on tobacco and so on, which compensated us and the losses and gave the country immense pro young marriages, private wealth, construction of cities and states, the war silenced, we obtained one compensation after another under treaties for all the embargoes the Americans became rich and prospered payday however it is rotating Great Britain France and Germany which our extraordinary benefits had impoverished sent thousands attracted by the fame of our advantages first and then millions of poor people to share the harvest At first we employed them and they increased our prosperity but in the artificial system of society and protected labor that we have also adopted and increased, counterweights and obstacles appeared so we decided not to employ those poor. They did not accept the answer and paid the lowest rates even though they did not pay them. we gave his salary now we have to pay the same amount in the form of taxes again it turned out that foreigners perpetrate the greatest proportion of crimes we have to bear the cost of crime and the expense of courts and prisons and pay for the standing army of a preventive police I do not count the cost of educating the descendants of that enormous Colony We will have to face most of those costs just when we thought we had made a net profit from our transatlantic customers of the 1800s it would be in vain not to pay we cannot get rid of those people nor of their will to be supported has already become an inevitable element of our politics, the dominant parties court them and help them vote for them. In addition, we have to pay not only what would be enough for them in their country but what they have learned to deem necessary here. opinion, Fantasy and all kinds of Moral considerations complicate the problem. There are some measures of economy that we could name without bother. For the matter is delicate and could get out of hand. It is similar to the hateful animalcules that make up our body and that are offensive in Particulars nevertheless make up valuable and effective masses. Our nature and our genius force us to respect the ends while we use the means. We must use the means and yet the most exquisite use hides and conceals them. For we can only give them beauty by reflecting on the glory. of the ends it is a good head that serves the ends and governs the means the canaya is corrupted by its means the means are too powerful for it and one forgets the end the first of these measures is that the character covers the expenses of the man as long as your genius buys the investment it will be safe Although like a monarch nature endows each man with a certain faculty that enables him to do with ease what would be impossible for another and in this way it is necessary for society that native determination guides its Work and its expense require an endowment of means and tools appropriate to their talent. To avoid this aspect, the special strength and usefulness of man would have to be neutralized. Do your work and respect the Excellence of the work instead of its approval by others. This is so much economy that if we think about it well it is the sum of the economy. Waste does not consist of wasting years or coffers but rather of blurring the line of your career. The crime that ruins men and States is salaried work. Abandon your main purpose to serve for turn here or there and nothing is beneath you if it goes in the same direction as your life Nothing is great or desirable if it is not so I think we could draw a straight line and say that society will not prosper but will go to ruin until each man do what he was created for spent at your expense and reduced that is not yours alston the painter used to say that he had built a house and furnished it with simple waxes because he would not tolerate anyone visiting him who did not have similar tastes as We act out of sympathy and like children we want everything we see But there is a long way to go to independence when a man, upon discovering his talent, has exchanged the necessary for the superfluous, just as the maiden promised by a secure affection is relieved of a system of slavery is the daily instilled need to please everyone the man who has discovered what he is capable of can spend on it and on everything else montaigne said when he was the little brother he wore clothes and luggage but then his house and his farms answered for him Let that a man who belongs to the class of nobles, that is, those who have discovered that they are capable of something, is free from wasting his effort on matters that are not his, that the realist does not care about appearances, let him delegate costly courtesies to others. and social life the virtues are economic but some vices are also economic. I have observed that pride is a good husband of humility in my estimation a good pride yields 500 to 100 a year pride is generous economic it eradicates so many vices by not allowing anything else to subsist Besides, it might seem like a good profit to exchange vanity for pride. Pride can do without a servant without good clothes. Live in a two-room house. Eat potatoes, vegetables, beans, cereals, work the land, travel on foot, talk to beggars or sit in contented silence. of himself in elegant salons but vanity costs money work horses men women health and peace and in the end it is nothing a long road that leads nowhere there is only one the proud are intolerable gentle and affable art is a jealous woman and If a man meets the conditions to dedicate himself to painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he will be a bad husband and a bad provider and he will have to be wise at the time and not chain himself with duties that we had in this region 20 years ago. years among our most educated men a kind of Arcadian fanaticism a passionate desire to return to the countryside and combine agricultural and intellectual tasks, many carried out their purpose and did the experiment and others became farmers but all were cured of the faith that The tasks of the schoolboy and the practice on the farm, I mean with his own hands, could be one with a frown and a firm purpose. The pale man of letters leaves his desk to seek freer air and achieve a more precise expression of his thoughts. On the garden path he bends down to remove a bush or [__] from the tail of a small animal that is ruining the cereal and he notices that there are two right behind the second there is a third he reaches with his hand to a fourth and behind more than 4,000 is hot and out of breath and little by little he wakes up from his clumsy dream of alcines and bloodthirsties to remember his morning thought and realize that for these purposes Adam iOS has been deceived by an asphodel a garden is like those pernicious machines the kind that we read monthly in the press that grab a man’s jacket or hand and drag his arm, his leg and his body to destruction. Irresistible at a bad time he demolished the wall and added a plot to his house it is bad not to have land but having them is worse if a man owns land the land will possess him who then dares to leave his house each of the trees and grafts each mound of melons each table of cereals each keto everything he has done and still wants to do will stand in the way his path as a creditor When he wants to cross his door his devotion to the vineyards and trees will seem poisonous long walks along Frank roads a circuit of miles would free him and serve his body the long marches would not be hard for him he is convinced that he could compose in the hills but this stew in a few yards of garden discourages and stuns him the smell of the plants has drugged him and robbed him of his energy His bones are cataleptic and poor in spirit the geniuses of reading and gardening are antagonistic as resin and electricity pitre one is concentrated in Sparks and shocks the other diffuses its strength so that each of them prevents the worker from fulfilling his other duties an engraver whose hands must have an exquisite delicacy of execution should not raise walls of stone Sir David Prer gives exact instructions for microscopic observation at your back and looks through the lenses at the object you have in view etc. All the more so for the seeker of abstract truth who needs periods of isolation and concentration almost going out of his body to think twice, follow your Genius and by system nature obeys rules, it does not jump or go astray, there must be a system in the economy, savings and containment in spending will not prevent the most exposed family from ruin, nor will greater income make the expense insurance The secret of success does not lie in the amount of money but in the relationship of income with expenses as if wealth began to exist after having fixed expenses and expenses at a certain point. added new and constant streams of income not so meager ordinarily But as means increase the expenses increase still more So that neither in England nor anywhere else are large incomes of help a satisfied debt does not reduce its voracity When cholera is in the potatoes, what good would it do to plant large crops? Sharp observers have assured me that in England, the richest country in the universe, the great lords and ladies have no more guineas than anyone else, and that generosity with money is so rare and It constitutes a virtue as immediately famous as here necessity is a growing giant and the garb of having never fully covers it. I remember that in Barwi they showed me a beautiful rural property that still had the name it had in Shakespeare’s time, they told me. that the rent amounted to 14,000 pounds a year, but when the second son of the last owner was born, the father did not know how he could take care of him. The eldest son was to inherit the property. What to do with this supernumerary, they advised him to educate him for the church and house him. in the vicarage that belonged to the dowry of the fam and he did it. It is a general rule of that country that the increase in income does not usually benefit anyone a sudden wealth such as the lottery prize or a large donation to a family Poor do not enrich forever they do not provide the learning of wealth and with the new wealth come new demands that the new rich do not know how to avoid Until the treasure is dissipated there must be a system in the economy or the best expedients will be useless a farm It is good when it begins and ends in itself and does not need a salary or a complementary store. In the same way, cattle are an indispensable link in the chain. If the nonconformist or the farmer aesthete abandons the cattle but does not meet the need for the cattle, they will have to fill the hole begging or stealing when the men who are now alive were born the farm provided everything that was consumed on it the farm did not provide money but the farmer got by without it if he felt sick his neighbors came to his aid each one gave A day’s work or half a day, or he would lend his team of oxen or his horse and they would maintain the pace of work. They would cultivate their potatoes, they would plow their hay, they would pile up the grain because they knew that no one could afford to hire a day laborer without selling his land in the fall. A farmer could sell a buell or a pig to raise some money with which to pay taxes now the farmer buys everything he consumes clothes sugar tea coffee fish coal train tickets and newspapers we need an expert for art because practice has nothing to do with matters defined or inert that change in your hands you think is that several barns and a few Acres are a solid piece of property but their value is as fluctuating as water requires as much attention as if you were esans wine the farmer knows how to do it plug the leaks together All the Streams In a reservoir and drain the wine, but a corny meddler arrives. He tries it and it spills. It happens with the granite streets and the wooden cities as with the fruits and flowers. There is no investment so safe that it does not need incessant surveillance like history. Of any attempt to keep an estate intact for an heir, it could not be shown that when Mr. Cocaine rents a house in the country and takes care of his cow, he thinks that his cow is a creature that feeds on oen and gives a bucket of milk twice a day. day but the cow he bought gives milk for three months then her udders dry up what will he do with a skinny cow who will buy her maybe he also bought a team of oxen that would do his job but the oxen become exhausted and become useless what will he do with oxen exhausted and useless the farmer fattens his own after having done the spring work and kills them in the fall But how could cocaine, who has no pasture and goes out in his car every day to attend to his business, bother to fatten and kill oxen would plant trees but you have to cultivate the land so that they grow who will cultivate it does not want have nothing to do with the trees But you want to own pastures after a year or two you have to mow and replant the grass who will do it gullible cocaine three the help comes from the custom of the countryside and the rule imper parendo dictate is not the rule nor insist on carrying out each of your plans with an ignorant tenacity but rather learn in a practical way the open secret of nature that things themselves refuse to be mistreated and teach the Guardian their own law, it is not necessary to shake hands or feet the custom of the countryside will do everything I do not know how to build or plant or how to buy wood or how to take care of the house the land or the forest when I have bought them do not be afraid everything is ready as it has been for a long time in the custom of the field, whether it is sand or clay, when to do it, how to fertilize, whether to plant grass or cereal and you cannot avoid or prevent it, nature does things in its own way and will tell us simply if we have our eyes open and We pay attention, otherwise we will be quick to deceive ourselves. If we prefer our way of proceeding to theirs, we would often have to remember the art of the surgeon who, when healing a broken bone, limits himself to repositioning what is in a bad position so that it returns to its original position. place by the action of the muscles all our art depends on that art of nature of the two eminent engineers who have taken part in the recent construction of the railways in England Mr. Brunel went straight from one point to another through the mountains by above the currents crossing paths cutting ducats in two and entering the window of one and the attic window of another until reaching the end with great pleasure for the geometers but with immense costs for his company Mr. Stevenson on the other hand convinced of that the river knows the way it followed through the valley as implicitly as our Western Railway follows the westfield river and became the safest and cheapest engineer we complain about m the cows are exhibited in Boston there are worse suppliers the walkers of Our pastures have plenty of opportunity to thank the cows for clearing the way in the thickets and in the hills. Travelers and Indians know the value of the buffalo trail, which is the safest and easiest passage possible in the mountains when A city man recently arrived from Grass Square or Milk Street buys land in the countryside. His first thought is to have a good view from his windows. His library should face west with a daily sunset that gilts the Back of the Blue Hills of the Wachusett and the peaks of Monadnock and a Canon 30 Acres and all this magnificence for $500 would be cheap for 00,000 passes immediately with eyes swollen with Tears of joy to fix Where the cornerstone is to be laid but the man who If I have to level the ground, he will think that I will need many piles of gravel to fill the gap that remains until the road. The bricklayer who will build the well will think that it will be necessary to dig 40 feet. The baker will doubt that he will ever like driving. Until that door the practical neighbor will ponder the position of the barn and the city man will realize that his predecessor the farmer built the house in the right place for the sun and the wind the fountain and drainage the convenience of the pasture the garden the field and the road the Grass Square marks a point but things go their own way custom makes the farmer wise and the foolish City man learns to follow his advice step by step he ends up Surrendering to discretion the farmer pretends to comply his orders but the man from City tells him you can ask me whenever you want and in the most ingenious way my opinion on how to build a wall or drill my well or extend my sacres but the ball will bounce off you those are questions about which I don’t know. nor I need to know anything are questions that you not I will answer behind closed doors a system no less dominant and tyrannical is established on the master and the mistress the servant and the child the cousin and the acquaintances in vain the Wit the virtue or the energy of the character is They will strive or protest against that side. It is okay for the poor husband to find a new way of living in a book and decide to adopt it in his home. Let him come home and try it if he dares. Four Another economic aspect consists of looking for the same seeds that you planted without waiting to exchange seeds of different kinds friendship buys friendship justice justice military merit military success a good husband will find a wife children and a house the good merchant of great profits ships reserves and money the good poet fame and Literary credit but not Another thing, however, there is a widespread confusion regarding what can be expected in this regard. Hotspur lives for the moment and brags about it despite Furlon, who does not. Hotspur, of course, is poor. Ylon Prev. The strange thing is that Hotspur believes that Unpredictability is a superiority that must be rewarded with the lands of Furlon. I have not finished what I proposed, however, we must not leave the matter without taking a look at the hidden things. According to a philosophical doctrine, man is a being of proportions, there is nothing. in the world that is not repeated in his body a body that is a kind of miniature or summary of the world and there is nothing in his body that is not repeated in a celestial sphere of his thought and there is nothing in his brain that is not repeated. repeat on a higher mat in your moral system five all those things are in nature all things ascend and the golden rule of economics is that it itself ascends too or that whatever we do always has a higher purpose there is a maxim which says that money is another kind of blood pecunia alter sanguis, that is to say, the assets of a man are only a larger body that admits an analogous regime of corporal cultivation, which is why there is no merchant’s motto, for example, the best use of money is pay debts take care of your business the best time is now the best investment is in tools or other similar things that do not admit a broader meaning the maxims of an accounting office liberally interpreted are laws of the universe the economy of the merchant is a rude symbol of Economy of the soul consists of spending in power and not in pleasure in investing to win, that is, in converting the particular in general, the days into entire periods of your life, literal, emotional, practical, and increasing your investment. The merchant only has one rule: absorb and invest from To be a capitalist you have to gather the scraps and filings in El Crisol you have to burn the gases and the fumes and the profits do not have to increase the expenses but the capital the man has to be a capitalist he will spend his income or he will invest it his body and each one of His organs are Under the same law His body is a container that stores the liquor of life He will spend on pleasures The path to ruin is short and easy He will accumulate power instead of spending He will go through sacred fermentations in accordance with the law of nature according to which everything goes back to higher platforms and bodily vigor becomes mental and moral vigor the bread you eat is first strength and spirit then in higher laboratories it becomes imagination and thought and with even higher results in courage and resistance That is the true compound interest doubling quadrupling a hundredfold the capital man raised to his maximum power true frugality consists in spending on the highest plane investing again and again with a kind avarice to spend on a spiritual creation and not to increase the animal existence man would not be enriched by repeating the old experiments of animal sensation nor would he know by real experience of a higher good if it were not through new powers and elevated pleasures that he finds on the way to the highest four culture could rules or guardians educating the demigod that he is has to be impressive tremulous musical capable of sweet influences of the landscape and the sky susceptible to the spiritual contact of the gaze of man and woman firm in their natal center to merge past and future and remake in their own mold of The fugitive fates of the world the word of ambition in our days is culture While the whole world is in search of Power and wealth as a means of power culture corrects the theory of success man is a prisoner of his power the memory of places suits him in an almanac The talent for debate in a debater the ability to earn money in a miser, that is, in a beggar Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the help of other powers against the dominant talent and appealing to the Rank of Powers. Culture monitors success in action. Nature has no mercy and sacrifices the performer when it is finished, turning him into dropsy or bombast if nature wants a thumb he gets it at the cost of arms and legs the excess of power in one part is immediately paid for by a defect in the adjacent part our efficiency depends so much on our concentration that nature in the examples in which a notable man appears in the The world tends to overload it with efforts and sacrifice its symmetry to its work power. We say that no one can write more than a book and that if someone has a defect it will leave its mark on everything they do. If nature creates a policeman like Fuch, it will surround him with suspicion. and plots the air said fuch is full of daggers the doctor santorio spent his life measuring his food on a scale lord coke thought very much of chuser because the story of canon yeman illustrated the statute gen cap 4 against alchemy I met a guy who believed that the main errors of the English State came from the devotion to musical concerts. Not long ago a Freemason tried to explain in this country that the real cause of General Washington’s success was the help he received from the Freemasons, but worse than playing a single one. rope It is that nature has ensured individualism by giving each one the presumption of their importance in the system egoists are the plague of society there are clumsy and brilliant egoists sacred and profane crude and refined selfishness is a disease that like the flu attacks any constitution in the ailment that doctors call sanito’s dance The patient spins and writhes slowly is selfishness a Metaphysical variety of that disorder the man rotates around a ring formed by his talent he pays admiration to him and loses his relationship with him world is a universal tendency one of its most annoying forms is the longing for compassion patients expose their miseries they remove the bandage from their wounds they reveal their punishable crimes so that we can pity them they like illness because physical pain steals the interest of those who They observe them as happens with children when they realize that adults are not paying attention to them they begin to cough until they choke that ailment is the scourge of the talent of artists inventors and philosophers there are eminent spiritualists incapable of separating themselves from their actions or words and bravely contemplate how vain they are, beware of anyone who tells you that I am on the verge of a revelation will be quickly punished. For such a habit invites others to mock and treat the patient with a tenderness that will enclose him in a narrower selfishness and exclude him. Of the Great world of the children of God, fallible men and women, it is preferable that they insult us when we deserve it. Religious literature provides eminent examples. And if we turn to our personal list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we will see that they are infected with that dropsy and elephantiasis that we would do. better to say the voo of selfishness is so frequent among prominent men that we would have to assume a strong need. In those who suffer from it, as we see in sexual attraction, the preservation of the species depends on that need that nature has ensured at all costs by giving it a immense importance to passion even at the risk of perpetual crime and disorder, selfishness is rooted in the cardinal necessity by which each individual persists in being what he is, that individuality is not only not incompatible with culture but forms its basis in valuable characters. They are at ease in it and the student we are addressing must have a natural intelligence that his culture cannot subjugate and that allows him to use books, the arts, the opportunities and elegances of exchange without submitting and getting lost alone. Whoever has a good determination will be a man of integrity. The purpose of culture is not to destroy all that, God forbid, but to remove the obstacles and the mixtures and leave nothing except pure power. Our student must have style and determination and be a master. in his specialty, once he has them, he must keep them, he must show their universality, a power to contemplate any object with a free gaze that has not yet been committed, however, that private and selfish interest is so overloaded that if a man looks for a companion who is capable of doing things for themselves without affection and without referring things to oneself, he will hardly find even a few who can give him that satisfaction, while the majority of men are afflicted by coldness and lack of curiosity. As soon as the object has no nothing to do with their self-love even though they talk about the things in front of them. They think of themselves and their vanity sets little traps for your admiration. When a man discovers that there are limits to the interest that his particular story has for humanity, he can still continue talking with his family or a few companions perhaps half a dozen famous people in his community in Boston the vital question concerns the names of eight or 10 men have you seen Mr. Alston Dr. Channing Mr. Adams Mr. Webster Mr. Greenhow have you heard to everet to Garrison to father chor to theodor Parker you have spoken with the messers turbin belel sumitel and the krupe Then you can die in New York that question refers to another eight or 10 or 20 you have seen a few lawyers, merchants and stockbrokers to two or three men of letters to two or three capitalists two or three newspaper editors New York is a squeezed orange the conversation ends when we rid ourselves of the dozen domestic or imported personalities that make up our American existence we cannot expect anyone to be more than a good copy of those heroes life is very limited a club or group of intelligent men reunited after 10 years of separation And if the presence of a penetrating and calm genius disposes them to frankness How many confessions of madness will there be the reasons why we we sacrifice tariffs or grace abyss or abolition moderation or socialism will seem like roots of bitterness and dragons of wrath our talents will be as perverse as if a prey bird had caught them and kept them away from zeal and inclination for fortune the truth the beloved society of poets until that they grow old, loosen their grip and wake up to more obvious perceptions, culture suggests through better thoughts that man has a series of affinities that allow him to modulate the violence of any tone that monotonously predominates on his scale and that the Culture restores his balance, puts him among his equals and superiors, revives the delicious feeling of sympathy and warns him of the dangers of loneliness and repulsion. It is not a compliment but a discredit to consult a man alone in matters of horses or steam or theaters or food or books or when it appears to direct the conversation towards the boy who we know is proud in the Norwegian sky of our precursors Thor’s house had 540 floors and the house of man has 540 floors Human excellence resides in the ease of adaptation and transition to many points to wide contrasts and extremes culture kills exaggeration the presumption of the village or city we have to leave our pets at home when we go out and meet others in broader areas of meaning and with good sense nothing justifies the loss of affability we pay a cruel price for certain fantastic goods that we call fine arts and philosophy in Norwegian legend alfadir does not drink from the Fountain of minir the Fountain of wisdom until he leaves his eye open look In that pedant who cannot stop his tricks or hide his anger when the best ones interrupt him if his conversation does not conform to his impertinence and who afflicts us with his personal questions, it is inherent in schoolchildren to imagine that they are hateful to their community. Let’s take the blame. From that Limbo of irritability, let’s cleanse their cracked skin with healthy blood. I will return the eyes that they left as a pledge in the fountain of Mimir. If you are victims of what you do, who will care what you do? We can do without your opera, your opinion of your chemical analysis of your history of your syllogisms, your man of Genius pays dearly for his distinction, his head spins in a spiral And instead of a healthy, happy and wise man, he will be a wise-cracking fool. Nature is reckless with individuals if she has to get her way. It will make them live in marshes and marshes. It is the destiny of some birds and they are so prepared for it that they are prisoners of those places. Any animal outside its habitat would die of hunger. For the doctor, men and women are enlargements of an organ, the soldier, the blacksmith, the accountant. and the dancer cannot change their functions. We are victims of adaptation. The antidotes to this organic egoism are the range and variety of attractions that our dealings with the world, men of merit, social classes, travel, eminent people and the high resources of philosophy art and religion books travel society loneliness not even the most inveterate skeptic who has seen a tamed colt or a trained dog or visited a zoo or an exhibition of trained fleas will deny the validity of education a boy says Plato is the most vicious of wild beasts and in the same sense the ancient English poet Gascoigne says it is preferable that a child not be born than that he not be educated. The city encourages one way of speaking and behaving. The countryside will have another style. The sea will have another. the army a fourth we know that an army that can be trusted will be a disciplined army and that all men could be Heroes with systematic discipline Marshal l told a Frenchman you know Colonel that only a coward boasts of not being afraid A large part of courage is the courage to have done the feat before in all human actions the strongest faculties They will be the most used Roben Oben said give me a tiger and I will educate it it would be inhuman not to have faith in the power of education since it will improve It is the law of nature and we value men to the extent that they demonstrate a strength that carries them forward and improves them. Cowardice, on the contrary, is the recognition that inferiority is incurable. The inability to improve is the only fatal disease there is. people who will never be able to understand a metaphor or the double or figurative meaning that you give to your words or humor and who will always stick to the literal meaning despite having spent 70 or 80 years Listening to music, rhetorical poetry and examples of Ingenuity neither the surgeon nor the clergy could help her, however she understands the gallows and the cry of fire in some of them I have observed a marked distaste for earthquakes let’s do our education Brave and preventive politics is a patch and a poor patch we are always late the evil is done the law has become obsolete And we begin to protest about what we should have prevented from happening one day we will learn to replace politics with education what we call our radical reforms in matters of slavery war game insolence is a mere attention to the simple symptoms of starting with what higher, that is, through education, our arts and tools give those who know how to use them as much advantage over the novice as if they prolonged their life by 10, 50 or 100 years. I think it would be sensible to provide the most beautiful souls with so much culture that they could not say to At 30 or 40 years old I lack weapons to do what I want. It is true that our preparation has no effect that success is difficult and rare that a large part of Our effort and what it costs us is lost, nature takes the matter into its own hands. hands and although we do not omit even an iota of our system we cannot be sure that it is of much use or that the same thing could not have been achieved with another system, the books that contain the most valuable memories of human Ingenuity will always be part of our notion of culture the best heads that have ever been pericles Plato Julius Caesar Shakespeare gte Milton were men of vast reading and universal education, too wise to despise letters. Their opinion has weight because they had the means to know the opposite opinion. We realize that a great man must be a great reader or, in proportion to the spontaneous power, a power of assimilation good criticism is rare and always precious It makes me very happy to meet people who notice the transcendent superiority of Shakespeare Compared to other writers I like people who like Plato this love does not allow presumption the books are nevertheless good To the extent that a boy is prepared to read them, sometimes his preparation is very slow, you send your boy to the teacher, but you send him to Latin class, but a good part of his learning comes from the shop windows he sees on his way to the store. school you prefer strict rules and long deadlines but he finds his own direction by following a shortcut and rejects classmates he has not chosen he hates grammar and gradus and loves guns fishing rods horses and boats the boy is right and you will not be suitable to direct their education if your theory Leave out that gymnastic training, archery, Cricket, the gun, the fishing rod, the horse and the boat are liberating educators like dancing, dress and street speech in The assumption that the boy has resources and is from a noble and sincere caste will not serve him any less if books learn to play chess, cards, dance and act. The father observes that another boy at that time has learned algebra and geometry. but his has acquired much more than what those poor games have provided him for weeks. He has become fond of cards and chess but now he discovers like you that when he gets up from the card table the excess has left him empty and sad and he despises himself from now on the game occupies a place among other things and has its due weight in his experience those minor achievements and skills like dancing are tickets to the boxes of humanity and mastery of them enables the young man to judge with intelligence many matters to which I would otherwise give a pedantic bias where he said, I have suffered more for not seeing dancing than for all the other misfortunes and miseries of my life combined. If the boy is capable of learning, it is not about making a statue of a useless man football Cricket archery swimming skating climbing escrima or horse riding will be lessons in the art of power which is the most important thing I have to learn horse riding especially Lord Herbert of Cherbury said that a good rider on a good horse is all that the world allows him to be above himself and others, the gun, the fishing rod, the boat and the horse constitute for those who use them, secret freemasonry, they all belong to the same Club there is also a negative value in these arts, their greatest usefulness for the young person is not fun but to make themselves known for what they are instead of reserving themselves for moments of bitterness, we are full of superstitions, each class focuses on the advantages of those that are lacking, the talented in Brute Force, the democrats in birth and upbringing, one of the benefits of a university education is to show the boy how little he is worth, I met an important man in an important city who, having put all his effort into Having a university education without having achieved it, he could never feel on par with his brothers who had gone to university. His instinctive superiority over a multitude of prepared men does not, in his opinion, counteract that imaginary defect. Dances, horseback riding, parties and villages are for a poor boy. something beautiful and romantic what they are not and to be admitted on an equal footing in them once or twice if possible it would be worth 10 times its cost if I disabuse you I am not very fond of travel I have observed that men go to other countries because They are not good at theirs and they return to theirs because they have not been of much use in new places so common only light characters travel Who are you if you have nothing to do at home I have been accused of misleading statements about travel but I want to do justice I believe that there is a restlessness among us that betrays a lack of character all Americans educated sooner or later They go to Europe Perhaps because it is their mental home, as the valetudinary habits of this country might suggest, an eminent teacher of young ladies, I choose that the idea of a young lady’s education consists of learning everything that the first time we go to Europe we will never be able to extract that worm of Europe in the brains of our compatriots we see very well What will be their ADO whoever does not find a place at home will not be able to travel alone he will do so to hide his insignificance in a larger crowd you do not realize that you will not find anything that you have not found Seen at home, all countries are made of the same material, do you think that there will be some country where they do not heat the milk case or put diapers on the children or burn the weeds or cook the fish? What is true in one place is true in all parts let him go wherever he wants he will only find the beauty and value that he carries with him of course some men will find it useful to travel you are born a naturalist discoverer and sailor other men are made to be postmen messengers envoys missionaries bearers of dispatches as others are made to be farmers and workers, if a man’s character is light and social and nature has proposed to create a being endowed with legs and at the side ready for locomotion, we must obey her suggestion and give him an upbringing that puts him into circulation with the same diligence as the one that would give it value, let’s not be pedantic and let the trip have its effect. It is said in the countryside that a boy who has grown up on a farm from which he has never left lacks opportunities and boys and men of that condition consider work in the railroad or in a city store as an opportunity the poor boys from the verand can towns owed their knowledge to their travels as mule drivers to the southern states. California and the Pacific coast are now their university as Virginia was then to have an opportunity is his motto and the phrase knowing the world or traveling is synonymous with the ideas of advantage and superiority, without a doubt, traveling offers advantages to a man. A sensible man will be a man to the extent that he knows languages, has friends and practices arts and crafts, a foreign country. a term of comparison with respect to one’s own, one usefulness of travel is to recommend our books and works, because we are going to Americanized Europe to meet other men, just as nature has arranged fruits in different latitudes, a new fruit for each latitude it has accommodated. knowledge and the most refined Moral qualities in men widely separated from each other of the six those seven masters that each man counts among his contemporaries one or two of them live on the other side of the world there is on the other hand a certain solstice in each Constitution when the stars keep their distance in our inner firmament and an external force is required, a diversion or alternative that prevents stagnation, the journey. It seems one of the best medical remedies, just as when a man observes the admirable effect of ether to cushion pain and meditates on the contingencies of the wounds of tetanus cancer he congratulates himself on the beneficial discovery of Jackson when he sees Paris, Naples or London he says if I have to be separated from my home here at least my thoughts are consoled with fun and occupations more lavish than the human race It has provided and accumulated over centuries similar to the benefit of foreign travel. The aesthetic value of the railway consists in uniting the advantages of city and country life which we cannot do without. Men should live in a large city or near it. because whatever his genius may be, it will be as repellent as it is attractive to the affable and valuable talent, and in a city the cymia of the attraction of all citizens will sooner or later overcome that repulsion And will drag the most obstinate hermit within its limits for at least a day a year in the city you will find the school from swimming the gym to the dance teacher the shooting gallery the opera the theater and the panoramas the drugstore the Museum of Natural History the museum of Fine Arts to the national speakers on tour to foreign travelers libraries and its Club in the countryside you will have solitude and reading manly work a cheap life and his old boots we stopped for play mountains for geology and Groves for devotion Ob writes I heard Thomas Hubs say that in the house of the Earl of Devon in Dervis there was a good library and books enough for him and that his lord He kept in the library the books that he considered appropriate to buy, but the absence of a good conversation was a great inconvenience. And although he thought that the Count could organize his thoughts, he, like anyone else, considered that lack a great defect, a long period in the country without a good conversation. in moes understanding and invention as if it were a wall in the orchard, cities produce collisions, it has been said that London and New York extirpate the nonsense of man, a large part of our education is friendly and social, the boys and girls who have Raised among cultivated and superior people , they behave with inestimable grace. We would not have well-bred men if there were not such a society . points at the highest point, especially women, it takes many cultivated women, salons of brilliant, elegant women, accustomed to comforts and refinement, to spectacles, to painting, to sculpture, to poetry and elegant society, to have a madam de estael The head of a commercial house or an influential lawyer or politician is in daily contact with multitudes of people from all corners of the country and with the driving wheels of the businessmen of each area and we could not ask for a more scrutinizing culture in a perceptive man. On the other hand we must take into account the high social possibilities of a million men, the greatest bribe that London at present offers to the imaginations that in such a vast variety of people and conditions we could believe that there is room for people of a romantic and that the poet The Mystic and the Hero will have their counterparts I would like the cities to teach their main lesson a calm way of behaving the weak point of American youth is its conceit the mark of a man of the world is the absence of conceit he does not give speeches He uses a low tone He avoids boasting He is no one He dresses simply He does not promise anything and he speaks in monosyllables for a long time He sticks to the facts He refers to his occupation with the most humble name and thus takes away the malcin tongue from its sharpest weapon His conversation deals with the weather and the news, although he allows himself to venture with his thoughts and go beyond what he has learned and his philosophy. The anecdotes of great men who have gone incognito stimulate the imagination. Kings dressed in street clothes. Napoleon affecting simplicity in a brilliant reception. burns Scott. Beethoven Wellington gette or anyone who harbors a transcendent power trying to go unnoticed epaminondas who never said anything and who always listened gette who preferred trivial matters and common expressions when conversing with foreigners used clothes to better clothes and Show more capricious than which was there are advantages in the worn hat and greatcoat I have heard that in this country a certain respect is paid to good fabrics but the attire causes some restriction men cannot care for themselves like a suit the worn greatcoat is like wine loosens the language and men say what they think an old poet says go ahead and save until you find that The poorer and humbler you seem the more serene you will seem 14 milnes writes almost the same thing in his praise of the humble for me men are what they are they do not use masks with me it is strange that our people do not have water in the brain but gas a good observer the son of The Americans that everything they say has the air of a speech however one of the traits that appear in the books as typical of the Anglo-Saxons It is the habit of despising yourself It is true that in old and dense countries one beautiful jacket will not be distinguished among a million good jackets and that there will be comedians at an English meeting a man whose manners or features do not stand out from the rest and with a ruddy face suddenly shows of Ingenio de Educación speaks about a wide range of topics and refers with familiarity to good men from any part of the world. What makes you think that he is an illustrious person is that the seeds of ancient barbarism have sprouted in the American forest. pietist only to extinguish the love of the scarlet feather of avalores and tinsel the Italians love red clothes turkey feathers and embroidery I remember a rainy morning in the city of Palermo in which the streets sparkle with scarlet umbrellas the English They have a simple taste , the luggage of the great lords is simple, a magnificent livery betrays a new rich man, the lord [__] like p and m thought that the title of lord was enough against any King in Europe, both competed to rule the entire world in the poor simple and dark meeting room in which they sat in the chamber of commons in front of the fire while we consider the cities Centers where the best of the city is found degrade us with magnificent trifles the country man takes the city for a restaurant or a barbershop has lost sight of the lines of grandeur on the horizon, the hills and plains, and with them sobriety and elevation have been confused in the midst of a submissive and talkative tribe that lives for appearances, servile to public opinion, life is dragged into a failure of pitiful cares and disasters you say that the gods should respect a life that belongs to them but they have abandoned you in the cities to a cloud of insignificant annoyances myrmidon reis myrmidon in fins conand Jupiter free lem de aux mirmidon aux mirmidon 15 terrible conditions contrary to the gods when compared to the myrmidons we the offspring of the myrmidons is our chance we take over Jupiter has put the globe in the hands of the myrmidons to the myrmidons What is more hateful than noise and people who scream and cry those people whose weather vane always points to the east who lives for dinner calls the self-indulgent doctor who warms his feet on the stove who intrigues to secure the easy chair and a corner safe from the drafts Let them begin to tell you about their ailments and the sun It will set before they finish Let those chancers free us from the presumption of small needs for a man who is working frost is a color forget the rain and the wind when they come let us learn to live with difficulties to dress simply and to go to bed in a hard bed the slightest habit of control over the palate It has beneficial effects that are not usually estimated It is not fussy either teetotallers is a Superstition I insist on a special diet everything is made of the same chemical atoms a man who pursues greatness has no small needs like You are not going to care about the diet, the bed, the dress, the greetings or the compliments, not even what you have done when you think how poor it is that the machinery and the workers turn out. B was ad in my presence in West Marland for having given to his neighbors an example of modesty in his home where comfort and culture were assured without waste a boy who wears a tarnished cap and a worn jacket to secure the place he wants at the university and the right to use the library has been educated with a certain purpose There is a good part of self-denial and firmness in the humble and middle-class homes in the city and in the countryside that has not been reflected in literature and that never will be but that preserves the sweetness of the land that saves on the superfluous and spends on the essentials that seem crude and educates the boy who sells the horse and builds a school that works from dawn to dusk employed in the factory looms to pay the mortgage on the paternal farm and then happily return to work we cannot do without The great social benefits of cities must be accepted with caution and with certainty. distance Then provide all its usefulness to him who could do without them go to the city from time to time habits have to be formed in retirement solitude safeguard of mediocrity is the faithful friend of Genius the cold and dark shelter where he will shed his feathers of the wings that will take him Beyond the Suns and the stars whoever is to inspire and direct his race will not have to travel with the souls of other men nor live, breathe, read or write according to the diary and worn yoke of his opinions by the morning solitude said Pythagoras so that nature can speak to my imagination as it would not in company and know the divine forces that are revealed to serious and abstract thought It is true that Plato plotinus Archimedes hermés newon Milton bsp did not live among crowds but Sometimes a wise instructor descended to them as benefactors. He will try to ensure in the disposition of time and the care of the life of a young Soul periods and habits of Solitude. We could say that the great advantage of University life is often mechanically a room of one’s own and warm feeling that the parents will not hesitate to give the boy in Cambridge even if they had not deemed it necessary at home we say solitude to accentuate the character of the tone of thought but if it could be shared by two or more than two it would be happier and no less noble, the four of us Neander wrote to his sacred friends, we will enjoy in allee the inner blessing of some and lives of whose foundation will be eternal friendship. The more I know you, the less you satisfy me and even less will the other companions. Your presence stuns me, the vulgar understanding withdraws from the only At the center of all existence, solitude reduces the pressure of present impertinences so that there can be more universal and human relationships. The saint and the poet seek intimacy with the most public and universal purposes. The secret of culture is to interest man in his public qualities. more than in the private ones, here is a new poem that provokes very good comments in the press and in conversations, thanks to them it would be easy to deduce The verdict of the readers that has been unfavorable to the poet as the craftsman is only interested in praise, not censorship. Although it is fair, the poor poet only pays attention to that and rejects the censorship that demonstrates the critic’s inability, but the cultivated poet becomes the owner of both companies, says Mr. Clarín, in the Clarín company and in the company of humanity, in the end he is exultant. with the demonstration of Clarine’s superficiality to the same extent that his interests cause him pleasure in the success of the company since the depreciation of his values in Clarín only highlights the immense value of his reserves of humanity. on the part of his critic with joy against himself he is a cultivated man we must have an intellectual quality in all property and in all action or it will be worth nothing I must have children I must participate in events I must have a social status and history or my thoughts and my speech will lack body or basis but to give value to those accessories I have to know that they are possessions as ostentatious as they are contingent, more attractive to others than to me. We can see this abstraction in the schoolboy as a matter of fact but it gains greater charm when We discover it in practical men . Bonaparte, like Caesar, was an intellectual and could contemplate objects in themselves without emotion . Although selfish at times, he could criticize a work, a building or a character with universal foundations and give a fair opinion to a man whom Let us know only how a celebrity in politics or business gains in our estimation if we discover that he possesses an intellectual taste or skill, as when we learn that Lord Fairfax the General of the Long Parliament was passionate about the study of antiquities or that the regicide French Carnot had a sublime talent for mathematics or the success in poetry of a contemporary banker or the devotion to ornithology of a partial journalist in the same way if when traveling through the melancholic deserts of Arkenso or Texas we observed that in the next seat a man Read Horacio or Marcial or Calderón, we would like to embrace him in professions that require firm energy such as soldiers, naval captains and civil engineers, sometimes a beautiful insight is manifested, even if it is only in a certain kindness outside of service, a well-intentioned admission that there are illusions, who would say? That is not its recreation, we vary the phrase, not the doctrine, when we say that culture transcends the sense of beauty, he is a beggar who only lives for what is useful and even if he served as a pin or rivet in the social machine, it could not be said that he has arrived. to self-possession I suffer every day from the lack of perception of beauty in people people do not realize the enchantment with which all moments and objects can be beautified the enchantment of the manners of self-control benevolence, tranquility and joviality are the luggage of the knight rest in the midst of energy the great war pieces of the Greeks transmit calm the heroes engaged in violent actions preserve a serene appearance as we say of the Niagara Falls that fall without rushing a A jovial and intelligent face is the end of culture and sufficient success indicates that the purpose of nature and wisdom has been achieved. We domesticate ourselves when our highest faculties are active. Clumsiness and discomfort give way to natural and graceful movements. It is known that the contemplation of great periods and espa astronomy lends us dignity and indifference to death the influence of a beautiful setting the presence of mountains calms our irritation and elevates our friendships even a high dome and the extensive interior of a cathedral They have a noticeable effect on our behavior. I have heard it said that inflexible people lose some of their rigor under high ceilings and in spacious rooms. I think that painting and painting teach us how to behave and abolish haste, but above all, culture should be reinforced of a superior influence the empirical abilities of eloquence politics commerce and the useful arts there is a certain elevation of thought and power of ordering and adjusting particular questions which can only be given by the intuition of all their connections to the speaker who has ever seen the things in their Divine order You will not lose sight of them and you will have a more solid foundation to refer to your affairs, even if you do not mention philosophy, you will have a certain mastery in dealing with them and it will be difficult to confuse or frighten you, which will distinguish your way of dealing with things. of the lawyers and representatives, a man who is on an equal footing with the heads of the parties in Washington will read the rumors in the newspapers and the predictions of provincial politicians with a key to the true and false of each statement and will know How everything will end Archimedes would realize at a glance how adequate your kenare machinery is someone who not only knew what Plato but what Saint John could teach him solve his affairs with a certain majesty Plato says that Pericles owed his elevation to the lessons from anaxagoras burke descended from a higher sphere when he influenced human affairs franklin adams jefferson washington showed a beautiful humanity before which the troublemakers of modern senates resemble tavern politicians there are high secrets of nature that are not for apprentices but for the advantaged there are lessons that only the brave learn we have to recognize our friends under horrible masks our friends are calamities Ben honson does not specify in his prayer to The Muses remove the corner of time the ill will of the courts and reconciled keep it in suspense lose his friends and what is worse, almost all the paths that could improve him with me you have left a better muse that you have brought with you blessed poverty we wish to learn philosophy by heart and play heroism but God who is wiser says adopt shame poverty and The painful loneliness that belongs to those who speak the truth proves The chalice of bitterness as well as sweetness The chalice of bitterness can teach lessons worth knowing when the state is agitated personal qualities are more decisive than ever do not fear a Revolution that will force you to live for years in one do not be so reluctant to make enemies go to coventri and that the populace will throw away your cold contempt The perfect man of the world must taste all the Apples he must keep his hatreds at bay without resentment he has neither friends nor enemies but values men as channels of power who sets out for something lofty to stop a quiet home and manners popular sometimes the sky surrounds a strange character of lack of grace and hatred like the bag that protects the fruit if there is something great and good reserved for you it will not come to the first or second call nor will it have the form of the placid engravings of fashion in the city popularity is for the wrists slope and steep said Porfidio It is the path of the gods open your frame Aurelius in the opinion of the ancients the great man disdained distinction and opposed the adversities of fortune they preferred a noble ship surprised by the tide in struggle with the winds and the waves dismantled and dismasted another sheltered in the port with the waving colors and all its artillery Betine replied to Gette’s mother who scolded him for his clumsiness in dressing if I cannot dress as I imagine in our poor frankfort I will not take things any further youth must take into account the inconceivable lightness of local opinion for what it is worth The longer we live the more we must endure the elementary existence of men and women a brave heart must treat society as to a child and not let him be the one to dictate what must be done, all those severe and restrictive virtues, said Burque, are too costly for humanity, who would want to be Severo, who would want to resist eminence and refinement for the sake of the poverty of the ordinary and lacking in refinement Whoever dared to do so would maintain the sweetness of his spirit and the jovial spirit the highest virtues are not jovial and obtain their reward in later fame we procure forests of laurels and the tears of humanity to those who are stand firm against the opinion of their contemporaries the measure of the master is his success in attracting all men to his opinion 20 years later let me say here that culture does not It could begin too early in talking to men of letters I observe that they lost with companies rougher the years of youth that could have given in their estimation a religious and infinite quality to the literature of the imagination. I have also discovered that the opportunities for appreciation increase by being the child of someone who has practiced appreciation and that those boys who now grow up not only They arrive years too late, if not two or three births too late to become men of letters. One of the reasons for the man of letters is that, just as in an old community, an owner from a good family, after the impetus of youth, becomes a caring husband and feels the habitual desire that his administration not impair his treasury and be able to hand it over to the next heir on conditions as favorable as he received it. A considerate man will recognize himself subject to the secular improvement that has mitigated, cured and refined humanity and will avoid any exercise of his force for pleasure or gain that jeopardizes that social and secular accumulation. Stratified fossils teach us that nature began with rudimentary forms and rose to the most complex As soon as the earth was ready to be its abode and that inferior beings perish. When the Superiors appear, few specimens of our race could be considered finished men. We still have remnants of the preceding quadrupedal organization attached. We call all those millions Hes , but they are not yet half-buried men digging to free themselves. Man needs all the music that can be provided to him. to be free I hope love passionate love with tears and joy necessity with its whip war with its cannons Christianity with its charity commerce with its money art with its engravings science with its telegraphs stretched through space and time could fine-tune its clumsy nerves and blow by blow break the walls of the chrysalis and let the new creature emerge erect and free to set off and sing its song. The time of the quadruped has passed and the time of the brain begins. and the heart The day will come when the forms of evil that we have known can no longer be organized, the culture of man cannot do without, it needs nothing, all the materials, it has to convert all impediments into instruments, all enemies into power, the formidable evil will be the most useful slave if we could read the future of the Race hinted at in nature’s organic effort to accumulate and improve and the corresponding impulse towards the best of the human being we would dare to say that there will be nothing that man will not overcome and transform until in the end culture will absorb chaos and geena man will turn the furies into Muses and hells For benefit V behavior grace beauty and whim built this golden portal graceful women chosen men dazzle the mortal the sweet and noble face of those is His charming food does not need to go after them His form alone rarely besieges him He looks at their face His eyes explore the terrain The green grass is a mirror where there are those features He hardly says anything to them The heart dances in his chest and serenity fills him deprives of Ingenuity words repose too weak to conquer and affectionate to escape the Tyrants from their condemnation the disappointed endymion slides to the grave the soul that animates nature is no less meaningful in the figure movement and gesture of animated bodies than in its last vehicle of articulated expression this silent and subtle language makes up manners Not what but how life expresses a statue does not have a language and does not need it good paintings do not require declamation nature tells a secret each time Yes but in man everything is told time, by the form, attitude, gesture, bearing of the face and its features and by the entire action of the machine, we call manners the visible action or behavior of the individual that results from the combination of his organization and will. What are we but thought that penetrates hands and feet that controls body movements speech and behavior there is always a better way to do everything even boiling an egg manners are the happy ways of doing things first a stroke of Genius or love then repeated and hardened by use at the end They form a rich varnish with which the routine of life is cleaned and its details are adorned. If they are superficial, they are also not the drops of dew that give that depth to the morning meadows. Manners are communicable. Men mutually capture them. Consolation in romance. He boasts of the lessons he has given to the nobles in terms of manners on stage and in real life. Taima taught Napoleon the arts of behavior. The genius invents excellent manners that men and women copy immediately and with the advantage of palace they improve instruction they stereotype in a certain way the lesson they have learned the power of manners is incessant it is an element as unconcealable as fire nobility cannot be hidden in any country, no more in a Republic or a democracy than in a kingdom no man can resist its influence. There are certain manners that are learned in good society with such force that if a person has them he or she should be treated with consideration and well received everywhere even if they do not possess beauty, wealth or genius. Give a boy skill and talent and you will have given him the mastery of palaces and fortunes wherever he goes he will not have the anxiety of acquiring them or seeing them no one is requested by them to enter into their possession we send girls with a timid disposition and brought to the boarding school to the riding school to dancing school or wherever they can meet prominent people of their own sex where they can learn manners and have them at hand. The power of a fashionable woman to guide and also to intimidate and repel derives from others believing that knows resources and behaviors that are forbidden to them but when you are there they know their secret, they learn to face it and recover The control of themselves every day witnesses its gentle rule the people who would impose now no longer impose the mediocre circle learn to demand what belongs to a higher state of nature or culture your manners are always subjected to examination by committees that do not arouse suspicion like a plainclothes policeman And that grant or deny you the greatest prizes when you least think about it We talk a lot about companies but we associate by our manners During business We address those who know have or It does this or that thing that we need and we do not allow our taste or feeling to be an obstacle but once that activity is finished we return to the indolent state and we wish those with whom we are comfortable that wherever we go they will come whose manners do not offend us whose social tone we agree with with ours when we reflect on their cheerful and persuasive force on how they recommend, prepare and drag people on how in all clubs manners make the members on how manners are the fortune of the ambitious young man on the fact that almost always their manners marry with him and he with them when we think of the key they suppose and regarding what secrets about what elevated lessons and inspired touches of character they convey and what divination is required of us to read this beautiful telegram then we see the importance of the matter and its relations with convenience Power and beauty their first service is very low, they are morality minor although it is the principle of courtesy to make us I suppose bearable to each other we appreciate them for their rough and plastic purifying force to remove people from their state quadruped wash her dress her and make her upright to change her shells and animal habits force her to be clean remove her resentment and meanness teach her to stifle vulgar expression and choose her generous and let her know how happy generous behavior is the laws cannot reach bad behavior society It is infested with rude, cynical, restless and frivolous people who prey on others, to whom a public opinion concentrated on good manners and forms accepted by common sense can reach the contradictory and denigrating people in public and private who are like terriers who consider that the The duty of a dog is to howl at every pedestrian and honor the house by barking even when Lucía is in sight. I have seen men who neigh like a horse when they are contradicted or something is said that they do not understand, then the daring ones who invite themselves to enter your home the persevering talker who gives you his company in large and saturated doses, the self-pitying, a dangerous class, the frivolous asmodeus who trusts that you will manage to tie him with ropes of sand, the monotonous, in short, all kinds of absurdity that It supposes a social punishment from which the judge will not be able to defend or cure you and which must be entrusted to the restrictive force of the custom of proverbs and the family rules of behavior imprinted on young people since their school days in the hotels on the shores. of Mississippi publish or used to publish among the rules of the house that no gentleman will be allowed to sit at the table without a jacket and in the same country on the pews of the churches small signs warn the worshiper against noisy expectoration Charles Dickens in a mortifying manner for himself he undertook the reform of American manners in countless particulars I think the lesson was not completely lost because he attacked bad manners so that the louts could see the deformity unfortunately the book had its own deformity no It should be necessary to report in a foreigners not to speak loudly, or people looking at beautiful engravings not to handle things like spider webs and butterfly wings, or people looking at a marble statue not to hit it with canes. However, even in the perfect civilization of this city, such warnings are not entirely unnecessary in the public cafe and library, manners are artificial and are due as much to circumstance as to character. [Music] we contemplated Titian’s Venetians and in the Roman coins and statues but also in the paintings that Commodore Carre brought to the country as a dignitary from Japan, the vast lands and great interests not only reach the heads that can handle them but also form manners of A keen glance will also see beautiful gradations of rank or will see in manners the kind of homage that the group usually receives. A prince who is daily accustomed to being courted by the highest dignities acquires a corresponding expectation and the appropriate way of receiving and responding. to this tribute there are always ways and exceptional people great Englishmen pretend to be farmers a gossip is a mefi under the finish of the attire and the lightness of the behavior hides the terror of their war but nature and destiny are sincere and never forget to leave their mark impose a sign for each and every one of the qualities to conquer one’s own face is a lot and perhaps the ambitious young man believes that he has the whole secret when he has learned the easy and dominant manners do not be fooled by an easy appearance tender men sometimes have strong will in Massachusetts we had an old statesman who sat all his life in the courts and benches of the state without being able to overcome an extreme irritability of face, voice and bearing when he spoke his voice was of no use to him it creaked he broke he rolled he sang little he cared he knew that he had the ability to sing, wheeze or screech his argument and his indignation. Once he sat down after having spoken, he seemed like the victim of an attack and clung to the Chair with both hands, but beneath that irritability there was a firm and progressive strong will and a memory. in which each fact of its history was deposited with order and method like geological strata under the control of its will, the manners are partly artificial but in the main there must be a capacity for culture in the blood, otherwise culture would be in vain. obstinate prejudice in favor of blood that resides at the base of the feudal and monarchical factories of the Old World has a certain reason for being in common experience every man mathematician artist soldier or merchant confidently looks for in his son some of his traits and talents that he does not The orientalists are very orthodox about this, take a thorn tree, said Elemir Abdel Kadder, and sprinkle it with water. For a year it will only produce thorns. Take a palm tree. Leave it in its care and it will always produce dates. Nobility is the palm tree and the Arab populace is the thorn, a notable fact in the history of manners is the wonderful expressiveness of the human body, if it were made of air crystal and thoughts were written on Tables of steel, the wise men could not publish its meaning with greater truth than now. They read with acuity your private history in the look, the step and the behavior, the entire economy of nature is inclined to expression, the revealing body is all languages, men are like Geneva clocks with crystal faces that exhibit all the movement, the liquor of the life rises and falls through them in beautiful bottles and announces to the curious How the face and eyes reveal what the spirit is doing its age and its goal the eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul or through How many forms it has ascended almost It would violate convenience if we said out loud what the confessing gaze does not hesitate to say to every passerby: man cannot fix his gaze on the sun and that is his imperfection. In Iberia, a traveler recently discovered men who could see the satellites of Jupiter with the naked eye In certain aspects, animals do not surpass birds, they have greater vision, along with the advantage of the high observatory of their wings, a cow can signal its calf with a secret signal, probably from the eye, to flee or hide and hide, the riders say. that certain horses can dominate the terrain with their gaze, outside life and home and work give vigor equal to the human eye. A farmer looks at you with as much strength as a horse. His gaze is like the blow of a club. The eye can threaten like a loaded gun or insults such as a hiss or a kick or with Mood altered by flashes of kindness can make the heart dance with joy. The eye obeys exactly the action of the spirit when a thought impresses us. The gaze fixates and remains fixed in the distance when listing the names of people or countries such as France, Germany. Spain Turkey the eyes blink at each name there is no beauty of learning sought by the spirit that the eyes do not try to acquire an artist said Michelangelo must have his tools in his eye not in his hand and the catalog of his achievements no longer has an end whether in the lazy vision of health and beauty or in the strenuous vision of art and work the eyes are bold like lions they wander they run they jump here and there near and far they speak all languages they do not expect any presentation they are not English they do not ask permission By Rank or age they do not respect poverty or wealth or knowledge or power or virtue or sex but they interrupt and return again and pass through you at the instant that a flood of life and thought is discharged from one Soul to another through of them the look It is natural magic the Mysterious communication that is established in a house between two complete strangers it moves all the sources of astonishment communication through the look for the most part is not subject to the control of the will it is the bodily symbol of identity of nature we look into the eyes to know if this new form is another identity and the eyes will not lie but will make a reliable confession of whoever lives there. Sometimes the revelations are terrifying. If it is admitted that a vulgar and usurping demon exists, the observer will seem feel the agitation of owls, bats and hooves where it sought innocence and simplicity. It is also notable that the spirit that appears in the windows of a house is suddenly invested with a new form for the one who contemplates it. The eyes of men converse as much as their eyes. languages with the advantage that the ocular dialect does not need a dictionary but is understood throughout the world when the eyes say one thing and the language another. The experienced man trusts the language of the former. If a man is unfocused, his gaze shows it, you can read in the eyes of your companion if your argument reaches him. Although his tongue does not admit it, there is a look by which the Rem man shows that he is going to say something good and another look when he has said it. All the excellent services and offers of hospitality are vain and forgotten and there is no joy in the look How many furtive inclinations admitted by her although hidden by the lips it usually happens that one has been with other people without saying anything and without hearing any important observation and yet one is in tune with society One will not be aware of this fact because of the current of life that flows to the person and leaves him through the gaze. Surely there are eyes that do not allow entry into the man any more than blueberries, some are liquid and deep wells in the eyes. that the man could fall others are aggressive and devouring and seem to warn the police Draw too much attention and demand crowded avenues and the safety of millions to protect individuals against them I know the military eye that shines darkly under rustic or clerical eyebrows is the city of ceremony is a pile of bayonets there are interrogative eyes affirmative eyes prowling eyes and evil eyes some of good and others of sinister omen the supposed power to calm the madness or ferocity in beasts is a power behind the look it has to be a victory achieved in the will before it can mean anything in the eyes is very true that every man carries in his gaze the exact indication of his Rank in the immense scale of men and we are always Learning to read it a complete man should not need assistants in his personal presence, anyone who looked at him would consent to his will after verifying that his objectives were generous and universal. The reason why men do not obey us is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eyes if the organ of sight is the vehicle of power the other traits have theirs a man finds space in the few inches of the face for the features of all your ancestors for the expression of all your history and your needs the sculptor winkelman and the bater can tell you how significant a nose is as its shape expresses the strength or weakness of the will and the good or bad mood the nose of Julius Caesar of Dante and Pit suggests the terrors of the beak that refinement and limitations reveal the teeth Be careful not to laugh said the wise mother Because you will show all your effects Balsac left in manuscript a chapter that he called theory of the marche In what the look says, the voice, the breath, and the attitude or step are identical, however, since man has not been given the power to be on guard at the same time over these four simultaneous and different expressions of his thought, observe the one that says the truth And you will know the complete man. The palaces interest us above all for the exhibition of manners that in the idle and expensive society that resides in them are elevated to a higher art. The maxim of the corles is that manners are the power of a calm demeanor. and resolved a polished speech an embellishment of trifles and the art of hiding all unpleasant feelings are essential for the courtier and sai Simon and the cardinal of reds and reading and an encyclopedia of memoirs will instruct you if you wish in those powerful secrets is a point of pride in Kings remembering faces and names it is told of a prince whose head had the air of a certain inclination in order not to humiliate the crowd there are people who always arrive like a child with a clipping of good news ga deceased lord hen it was said that He always came down to breakfast with the appearance of a man who had just had a sign of good luck at Notredame. The nobleman took his place on the platform with the look of someone who was thinking about something else, but we must not look or listen to sneakily at the entrance of the palace good manners need the support of good manners in others a man of letters can be a well-bred man Or not when an enthusiast appears in the society of the literati he finds himself frozen and silenced for not feeling in his element They have something which he does not have and which it seems he should have but if he meets the man of letters apart from his companions Then it is the turn of the enthusiast And he has no defense and must treat him on his terms now they must fight the battle according to their personal strength What is the talent of that common character, the successful man of the world in the markets, senates and salons, manners, manners of power, judgment to understand his advantage and manners to match, see How his man approaches, he knows that the troops behave as they are told. handles from the beginning That is his cheap secret Precisely what happens to two people who meet in any matter one instantly perceives that he has the key to the situation that his will understands that of the other Like the cat and the mouse and alone He has to use courtesy and provide natural reasons to his victim to hide the chain so that he is not ashamed to resist. The theater where this science of manners has a formal importance for us is not the court but the box where after the business of the day men and women are idle for mutual entertainment in decorated rooms of course the place has various merits and attractions but we cannot praise it excessively if we think of the serious people in the young people who harbor great hopes in their hearts it is a company elegant talker where each one is inclined to entertain the other, however The Turk Linah imagined that all the women seemed to suffer in search of a seat that the conversationalists were upset and exhausted due to lack of oxygen that this spoiled the best people and He put everything on stilts, however here secret biographies are written and read. The man’s appearance is repulsive. We do not want to deal with him. The other is irritable, withdrawn and defensive. The young man seems humble and manly. We chose him. Look at that woman. No. She gives you beauty, bright phrases, or distinction, but everyone sees her as happy, her air and appearance. She is healthy, here they come. the sentimental and the invalid Here is Elis who caught a cold at birth and it has always gotten worse since then here are the manners of a mouse and the manners of a Thief look norcote said fuseli looks like a mouse that has seen a cat in the superficial company that is hita and he tires easily Bernard is like a column the allegan do not express more rest than his behavior here is the Sweet persecutory look of Cécile always seems to ask the heart Nothing can be more excellent than the Corinthian grace of Gertrude’s manners and yet Blanche who does not has manners has better manners than her because Blanche’s movements are the outbursts of a spirit that is enough for the moment and can allow itself to express any thought by instantaneous action manners have been defined somewhat cynically as the achievement of the wise to maintain at a distance to fools, fashion is astute in recognizing those who are not in it and rarely wastes its attention. Society is very quick in its instincts and if you do not belong to it, it resists and mocks you or leaves you behind without be careful the first weapon enrages the attacked party the second is even more effective but it is not possible to oppose it nor is the date of the transaction easily discovered the people grew up and grew older and honestly wounded and never suspected the truth ascribed in them in an insulting manner to any cause except the just one the basis of good manners is self-confidence necessity is the law of all those who do not control themselves those who do not control themselves impose themselves on us and harm us some men they feel as if they belong to a pariah caste they fear offending they bow and excuse themselves and walk through life with a timid step just as we sometimes dream that we find ourselves in the company of elegant people without a jacket godfrey acts as if he always suffers from some mortifying circumstance the Hero He should feel at home wherever he is, he should impart comfort by his mere safety and good condition. To how many who see him, the Hero must suffer for being himself. A strong person perceives that he is guaranteed immunity as long as he renders some service to society that is useful to him. natural and appropriate an immunity from all the observances and duties that society tyrannically imposes on its common soldiers Euripides says space does not have the beautiful manners of Sophocles but the leaders and teachers of our soul he adds with good humor have reap m the right to extend their branches with as much carelessness as they want in a world that belongs to them And in the face of creatures that have animated 16 manners demand time and nothing It is more vulgar than haste friendship should be surrounded by ceremonies and respect and not crushed in corners friendship demands more time than poor men usually have, here Roland comes to me with a delicate feeling that guides and envelops him like a divine cloud or a holy spirit. It is mean for both of us that this is not idly understood but, on the contrary, is Frustrated by importunate matters , however, through this glossy veneer, reality always shines. It is difficult to preserve, without breaking this beautiful painting, how the heart will come to the surface, strong will and keen perception overcome old manners and create new and The thought of the present has a greater value than all the past with people of character We do not notice manners due to their instantaneous nature, we are surprised by the things achieved regardless of the ability to observe their path, however, nothing is more charming than recognizing great style that goes through such actions, people hide behind the masquerade of their fortunes, titles, positions and relationships such as academic or civil presidents or senators, professors or great lawyers and impose themselves on the frivolous and a good part of the others with their fame at least It is a matter of good and prudent manners to treat such a reputation with delicacy as if it were deserved, but the sad realist knows these guys as soon as he sees them and they know him as when in Paris the chief of police enters a ballroom and the dressed-up suitors HE They shrink and go as unnoticed as they can or they give him a pleading look. "I received by birth the gift of divination," said the civilian, "and similar Cassandras are always born. Manners are impressive when they indicate real power. A man who is sure of something has a broad expression and satisfied that everyone reads and no one can be properly taught an air and manners except by making him the type of man for whom such manners are the natural expression. Nature always gives great value to reality. What is done for the effect is see that it is done for the effect what has been done for love it is felt that it has been done for love a man inspires affection and honor because he did not lie when waiting for them what we visited a man for was done in the darkness and the cold a little integrity is better than any career so deep are the sources of this superficial action that even the size of your company seems to vary with its freedom of thought no carpenter’s ruler nor rod nor chain will measure the dimensions of a house or a driveway lot in the house, if the owner is forced and evasive, it does not matter how big the house is, how beautiful its foundations are, you will quickly reach the end, but if the man has self-control, he is happy and comfortable, the house is well founded, it is infinitely large and interesting and the roof and the dome stand like the sky under the most humble roof the most ordinary person dressed in simplicity sits there imposing joyfully formidable like the Egyptian colossi neither Aristotle nor I read nor junius nor champon have established the grammatical rules of this dialect older than Sanskrit But those who have not yet learned to read English can read it men take each other’s measure when they have just met and every time they meet How they achieve that rapid knowledge yet Before speaking of the ability and reciprocal disposition, it would be said that the persuasiveness of their speech is not in what they say or that men do not convince by their argument but by their personality, what they are and what they have said and done up to that moment, you listen to a strong man and What he says is applauded, another confronts him with a solid argument and the argument is examined until it reaches the Spirit of a notable person, then it spreads to the community. Self-confidence is the basis of behavior as guaranteed by the fact that Powers are not wasted by excessive demonstration in this country where school education is Universal we have a superficial culture and profusion of reading, writing and expression we burn our noble qualities in poems and prayers instead of putting them to work in happiness there is a whisper of the times for him who can understand it, that which only you know will always have great value, there is reason to believe that when a man does not write his poetry, it escapes through him through other vents, instead of the vent of writing, it clings to its form and its manners while poets rarely have anything more poetic than their verses Jacobi said that when a man has fully expressed his thought he is less master of it, it would be said that the rule is that what a man urges to say Irresistible mind helps him and us by explaining his thoughts to others he explains it to himself but when he opens it to show off it corrupts him society is the stage in which manners are shown novels are his literature novels are the newspaper or record of manners and the new importance of these books derives from the fact that the novelist begins to penetrate the surface and treats this part of life with greater dignity all novels used to be the same and They had a vulgar tone the novels led us with a Stupid interest in the fortune of the boy and the girl they described. He lacked a wife and a castle and the objective of the story was to provide him with one or both of these things. We watched with sympathy his Ascension step by step until he achieved his goal. The day of the wedding and we followed the gala procession from the house to the festooned portico And then the doors slammed and the poor reader was left outside to the elements without the benefit of an idea or a virtuous impulse but the victories of character are instantaneous and are victories forever their greatness increases everything every heroic anecdote fortifies us novels are as useful as Bibles if they teach you the secret of what The best thing in life is conversation and the greatest success is trust or perfect understanding between people. A French definition of friendships laughs, which is to understand good understanding. The greatest pact we can seal with our neighbors is the one that says that the truth will always be between us. That is the charm of all good novels as well as of all good stories that the heroes understand each other from the beginning and treat each other with loyalty and a deep mutual trust is something sublime to feel and say about another person, I don’t need to find them, talk to them or write to them. I trust her as I trust myself if she has done this or that I know it was the right thing in all the superior people I have met I notice the direct nature the truth expressed with greater sincerity as if all obstruction or malformation had been removed What do they have to hide What do they have to show among noble and simple people, there is always a quick intelligence, they are recognized at first sight and they are on better ground than the talents and ability they may possess, that is, in sincerity and rectitude because the issue is not that talents or genius possesses a man but how it is the respect for his talents that constitutes friendship and character the man who supports himself has the Universe on his side it is said that the monk bisley was communiond by the pope when he died he was placed under the tutelage of an angel who was to find a place for him in hell, but such was the eloquence and good humor of the Monk that wherever he went he was received with joy and treated with courtesy even by the most unpleasant Angels and when he conversed With them, instead of contradicting or subduing him, they took his side. Even the good angels came from afar to see him and take him to their home. The angel who was sent to look for a place of torment for him tried to lead him to an even worse abyss, but without success because such was the satisfied spirit of the Monk that he always found something worthy of praise in every place and Company Even if he was in hell from which he made a kind of Heaven. In the end the guardian angel returned with his prisoner along with those who had sent him and said emen there could be no river of fire to be found in which to burn since in any case basle remained incorrigible bisley legend says that his sentence was revoked and that he was allowed to go to heaven and was canonized as a saint there is a touch of magnanimity in Bonaparte’s correspondence with his brother Joseph. When he was king of Spain, he complained that he missed in Napoleon’s letters the affectionate tone that had marked his treatment in childhood. I am sorry that you think, Napoleon replied, that you will never meet your brother again. new except in the elicean fields it is natural that at 40 years old I do not feel the same for you as at 12 But my feelings for you have greater strength and truth friendship has the traits of the spirit that we forgive in those who provide us with the rare spectacle of heroic manners we will forgive them for the lack of books on the arts and even the gentlest virtues With what tenacity We remember them. Here is a lesson that I have carried with me since childhood at the school in Lín and that ranks among the best Roman anecdotes marco escuro He was accused by Cinco Vario Hispanic of having encouraged the allies to take up arms against the Republic. But the one, full of firmness and gravity, defended himself in this way. Cinco Vario Hispanic alleges that Marco Escuro, President of the Senate, encouraged the Allies to take the arms marco escuro president of the senate denies it there are no witnesses Who does Romans believe utri creditis quirites when he had said these words he was acquitted by the assembly of the people I have seen manners that produce an impression similar to personal beauty that confer the same joy and us purify in the same way in memorable experiences are suddenly better than beauty and make it superfluous and ugly but they must be pointed out by an excellent perception the knowledge of authentic beauty must always Show self-control not be easy apologetics Or indiscreet but I will reign over your word and every gesture or action will indicate power at rest manners must be inspired by a good heart nothing beautifies more the complexion the manner or the behavior than the desire to spread joy and not pain around us it is good to provide a stranger with food or a night’s lodging it is better to be hospitable to his good sense and thought and encourage company we should be so courteous With a man like we are, with a painting to which we give the advantage of good lighting, we do not have to think about special precepts, the talent of doing well contains them all, every hour will show a duty as important as that of my current whim, however I will say that There is a superficially forbidden topic for all well-bred and rational mortals to know their bad mood if you have not slept Or if you have slept Or if your head hurts or you have sciatica or leprosy or apoplexy I implore you by all the angels that calmed you that Do not sully the morning to which all the guests bring serene and pleasant thoughts with moans and corruption go out into the blue love the day do not leave the sky out of the landscape the oldest and most deserving person has to establish new relationships with great modesty respecting divine communications from which the new is supposed to come. An old man who added a high culture to a long life experience told me when you enter the room I will try to make humanity beautiful to you with regard to the delicate question of culture I do not believe that only negative rules can be established positive rules suggestions are only inspired by nature who will dare to guide a young girl to a maiden with perfect manners the middle ground is very delicate difficult let’s say it frankly unattainable What beautiful hands will not turn out to be clumsy when outline the brilliant precepts of the young woman’s behavior chance seems infinite against success vi however success is continually achieved there must be no secondary condition and I bet a thousand to one that her air and her manners will reveal that she is not the first but that there is another or many others of its kind to which it is habitually subjected, however, nature raises it without its knowledge over these impossibilities and continually surprises us with Graces and congratulations that not only cannot be taught but also cannot be described cult He is the one Overwhelmed by the enemies, he rose up and, renewed by the fight, was sold as a captive but the bars of the prison would not contain him. Although they clung to a rock, he could open mountain chains. He was thrown as bait to the lions. The beast kissed his feet prostrate beside him. the Stake the flames will not terrify him but they formed an honorific vault by mistake men called him ADO he crossed dark inos At the last minute but always in time to crown the truth and overthrow the evildoers is the oldest and best known as close as if If you were yourself more greeted by another look, disconcerts with kind surprise, it is Jupiter who is deaf to supplications, floods with unexpected blessings, draws, if you can, the straight Mystical line that divides what is his and what is yours, that it is human that it is divine, some of my friends have complained after hearing the previous pages that we talked about aside Power and wealth on a too low level that we gave in too much to the bad spirit of the time that we gave too many cakes to brewer that we ran the risk of goodw who by excess of candor strengthened The argument of atheism to the point of not being able to respond to it I do not fear being forced in spite of myself to play the role of a lawyer of [__] my faith is not weak I do not believe that it is of great importance what I or anyone can to say I am sure that a certain truth would be spoken through me even if I were mute or tried to say the opposite I also do not fear skepticism in a good soul a just thinker will allow the full height of his skepticism I dip my pen in the ink Blacker because I do not It’s scary to fall into the inkwell, I don’t understand the poor guy. man who, when suicides abounded, told me that he did not dare to look at his knife. We have different opinions at different times. But we can say that we are always at heart. On the side of the truth, I do not understand why we should give ourselves aides de Santo if divine providence has not hidden men, disease, deformity, nor corrupt society, but it has been established in the passions, in war, in commerce, in the love of Power and pleasure, in hunger and necessity, in tyrannies, literature and arts, let us not be so delicate as to not being able to write about these harsh facts or doubt that there is such a powerful contrary statement that we can come up with and that when stated it will make everything satisfactory, the solar system does not care about its reputation and the credit of truth and honesty is safe I do not feel any fear that a skeptical tendency will arise by leaning towards the side practical power or commerce that the doctrine of faith cannot subdue the force of that principle is not measured by ounces and pounds tyrannizes in the center of the nature we can consent to skepticism as much as we want the spirit will return and fill us leads the conductors counterbalances all accumulation of power heaven consented to give Our blood a moral flow we were born the whole creation is made of hooks and caulk eyes of tape and whether your community is in Jerusalem or in California, composed of Saints or shipwrecked people, it is coherent in a perfect ball. Men create a state or a church as naturally as caterpillars weave a web. If they were more refined, it would be less formal. It would be a state of restlessness like that of the tremblers who, due to the long habit of thinking and feeling together, are said to be affected in the same way at the same moment to work and to play and just as they go with perfect sympathy to the tasks of the field or of the store instantly feel inclined to go horseback riding or traveling and the horses come with the family carriage to the door without being called we are born believers a man has beliefs like an apple tree each particle has its own balance and each one his own righteousness which is the nemesis and protector of all society my neighbors and I have been raised in the notion that unless we soon enter a good church that of the Calvinists or Bohemianists or Catholics or Mormons there will be a dissolution and decomposition universal no Isaiah or Jeremiah has arrived nothing can surpass the anarchy that has happened in our heavens all old and firm faith has been pulverized the entire population of ladies and gentlemen goes in search of religions there is such anarchy in our ecclesiastical payments as there was in Massachusetts during the Revolution or what is now on the slope of the rocky mountains or the top of Pique, however we manage to live, men are loyal, nature has its own balance in all its works, certain proportions in which they are combined oxygen and nitrogen and no less harmony in the faculties an adequacy in the spring and the regulator the decline of the influence of Calvin Fenelon Wesley and och chaning should not worry us the architect of heaven has not constructed his creature so badly as so that religion, that is, public nature, must lose the public and private elements as north and south, as interior and exterior, as and centripetal, adhere to every soul and cannot be subdued. Except if the soul dissipates, God builds his temple in the heart of the ruins of churches and religions in the last chapters we have dealt with particular aspects of the question of culture but the whole state of man is the state of culture and its flowering and integrity can be described as hidden religion there is always some religion some fear and Hope that extends the invisible from the blind presentiment that nails a horseshoe on a mast or on the threshold to the song of the elders in the Apocalypse but religion cannot rise above the state of the devotee heaven always keeps a certain proportion with the earth The god of the cannibals will be a cannibal, the god of the crusaders will be a crusader and the god of the merchants will be a merchant. In all ages, souls have been born out of time, extraordinary prophets who refer to the system of the world before announcing truths at their particular time and locality. absolutes that, regardless of the reverence with which they are received, quickly sink with a savage interpretation. The interior tribes of the Indians and desert islands of the Pacific flagellate their gods when things take an unfavorable turn. The Greek poets do not hesitate to apply their Ingenuity either. 17 among our Norwegian ancestors the way in which King Olaf converted Evind to Christianity consisted in putting a frying pan with hot coals on his belly that broke into pieces will you now believe in Christ evind asks Olaf with excellent faith another argument consisted of a viper in the mouth of the reluctant disciple Rand who refused to believe Christianity in chivalric times meant culture European the tree grafted or improved in a Wild forest to have a pagan wife or husband was to marry the Beast and voluntarily give A step back towards the baboon enis had indeed a beautiful and gentle daughter but she was a Saracen pagan and Borti in love took her as a wife and companion and was condemned for life because he united the Christian with the pagan and corrupted Our blood as flesh and matin 18 The Chronicle of the Crusade of Richard and Richard of Devises in the 11th century can show the Gothic mixture that the Christian creed from pagan sources King Richard reproached God for having abandoned him, what shame against my will would I have abandoned you in such a fearful and desolate situation if I were your lawyer and lord as you are mine, in reality my model in the future will be despised not for my fault but for yours in reality it was not because of my cowardice in war that you my king and my God have conquered this day and not Richard your vassal the religion of the early English poets is anomalous so devout and so blasphemous with the same breath such is the extraordinary confusion of being of heaven and earth in the image of Dido was so beautiful so young so strong with her joyful look that if the God who made heaven and earth felt love for the beauty and goodness and the feminine, truth and decency, to whom but this young lady. Maria would not have found another woman equal to these rude things, we complaisantly compare taste and decorum, we think and speak with greater temperance and gradation, but indifference is not so bad as Superstition, we live in a period of transition in which the old faith that consoled nations and not only that but also forged nations seems to have lost its strength. It does not seem to me that the religions of men are very credible at this time but rather childish. and insignificant or unmanly and effeminate the fatal trait is the divorce between religion and morality here religions of ignorance or Churches that proscribe the intellect religions of escort religions that defend slavery and trade in it and even in decent populations idolatries in which the whiteness of the ritual hides a scarlet indulgence the lover of the old religion complains that our contemporaries, both schoolchildren and merchants, succumb to great despair, have been corrupted into a timid conservatism and believe in nothing in our large cities the population Lives without god hanging on the material Without ties, feeling of companionship or enthusiasm These are not men but hunger, thirst, fever and wandering appetites. How do people manage to live without any objective after earning their grain of pepper, it seems as if only the lime from the bones kept United and not a worthy purpose there is no faith in the intellectual or moral universe there is faith in chemistry in meat in wine in wealth in machinery in steam in galvanic batteries in turbines in seeders and in public opinion but not in divine causes a silent Revolution It has attenuated the tension of the old religious sects. And instead of the gravity and permanence of those opinion groups, they incur whims and extravagances. There has never been such lightness in the creeds. The pagan elements in Christianity attest to this. The newspapers denounce millenarian mathematics. the rituals of Real Dread the regression to popery the rambling of the Mormons the scalzo the delirium of the tapping the cat and mouse revelation the knocking on the boards and black magic architecture music and prayer share madness the arts are they sink into change and simulation without knowing what to do we imitate the ancestors the churches stagger back to the masquerade of the Dark Ages together with the general Irresistible maturation the Christian traditions have lost their grip as the dogma of the mystical offices of Christ has been detached and by remaining a moral teacher it is impossible to maintain the Old emphasis of his personality which recedes as usually happens in the face of the sublimity of the Moral laws since this change occurred and in the absence of a religious genius that can compensate for the immense material activity given by the feeling that religion has faded when Paul offered his Article he gave to the editor of a notable French newspaper he was told the question of di Man that of actualité in Italy Mr. Gladstone son of the late king of Naples is proverbial that has turned the denial of God in the system of government in this country there is a similar stupefaction and the phrase superior law has become a political mockery. What greater proof of infidelity than the tolerance and propaganda of slavery or the direction of education or the ease of conversion or that the external character of the churches that were previously nourished by the roots of good and evil and have ended up perishing until they become a stain of what greater proof of skepticism than the paltry degree that is applied to moral and mental gifts superiors Let a man acquire the broadest culture that an American can possess and then die in a storm in a railroad collision or other accident and all America will affirm that it is the best thing that could happen to him that after having carried education so far That is the scarcity of America that the best use that can be made of an excellent person is to drown to save his boat another scar of skepticism is the distrust in human virtue elegant owners believe that there is no more virtue than the one they possess than the solid part of society exists for the arts of comfort that life consists of putting something between the upper and lower jaw that swift is the suggestion of a vulgar motive certain Patriots in England dedicated themselves for years to creating a public opinion that would abolish the laws of the grain and establish free trade well Says the man on the street coben thus obtained his stipend kosut crossed the ocean to try to awaken in the new world sympathy for European freedom Ay says New York did something beautiful enough to achieve a comfortable life observed the tolerance of the wealthy and respectable class with vice if a pickpocket enters the society of the Knights they exert How much moral force they have and the pickpocket is uncomfortable and happy to escape but if an adventurer respects the forms if he tries to be chosen for a position of trust as senator or president although with the same arts that we detest in the den of thieves the same gentlemen who agreed to disapprove of the private rogue are prepared to show signs of education and respect to the public and no proof of their crimes It will prevent them from applauding, inviting him to eat and opening the door of their house and expressing the pride of knowing him. We will not [Music] deceive him sanctified of the messages and proclamations of the public sinner as proof of sincerity, it must be that those who pay him this homage are said themselves as a whole we do not know anything about what you call honesty is better bird hand the same type of infidelity influences people with a good disposition who in action Brave and frank apply compromises and hot towels after forgetting that a small measure It is a big mistake that a good mechanic uses a proper tool they continue to choose the dead men of the routine but the official men cannot in any way help you in today’s issues because they depend completely on old dead things they can only help you with their advice or conduct those who have not taken sides to defend this or that which Almighty God appointed before coming into the world to maintain what they defend it has been said that the lack of sincerity in prominent men is a general vice throughout American society but the multitude of the sick will not make us deny the existence of health despite our imbecility and our terrors and the Universal decadence of religion , etc. The moral sense reappears today with the same morning novelty that has always presided over the source of beauty and strength, you say that now there is no religion, it is like saying that there is no sun when it rains. When we witness one of its superlative effects, the religion of the educated class now surely consists of avoiding acts and commitments that they previously assumed for their religion. this will produce spontaneous forms in due course there is a principle that is the basis of the things that all speeches want to express and all actions develop a simple calm presence undescribed indescribable that resides peacefully in us our rightful lord we do not have to do but to let one do, not to work, but to be worked, and for this homage there is a consent of all just and thoughtful men in every age and condition. Vast and sudden amounts of power belong to this feeling. It is notable that our faith in the Ecstasy consists of a total inexperience in Regarding the order of the world, it is to accurately educate the senses and the understanding, and the engineering that establishes these powers according to their priority undoubtedly has its job, but we do not lack indications that such powers are mediate and servile and that one day we will have to deal with them. the real being essences with essence even the fury of material activity produces certain results related to moral health the isolated action of the times develops individualism and the religious seems isolated I think this is a step in the right direction heaven does not deal with we by a representative system souls are not saved in groups the spirit tells man yourself How are you Are you well for a great nature it is a happiness to escape from a religious teaching so susceptible to being invaded it is the religion of character religion has to be a Wild fruit its wild beauty cannot be gathered and kept I have seen human nature in all its forms said a traveler who had reached the extremes of society everywhere It is the same but The wilder it is the more virtuous we say that the old ways of religion decline and that skepticism devastates the community I do not believe that it can be cured or stopped with a modification of theological creeds and much less with theological discipline the cure for false theology is common sense forget your books and traditions and obey your Moral perceptions at this hour what is meant by the words moral and spiritual is an eternal essence and whatever the illusions we have deposited in them the words will return time after time to their ancient meaning I do not know words that mean so much in our definitions we look for you tempt the spiritual by describing it as invisible the true meaning of spiritual is real a law that executes itself that works without means and that cannot be conceived as non-existent men speak of mere morality which is the same as if someone said poor God without no one to help him I find the omnipresence and omnipotence in the reaction of each atom of nature I can better indicate with examples the reactions by which each part of nature responds to the purpose of the actor beneficially for the good painfully for the bad let’s replace sentimentality with realism and osem discover those simple and terrible laws that are visible or invisible, penetrate and govern everything men try to May your neighbor not deceive you, but there comes a day when you begin to try not to deceive your neighbor, then everything is going well. You have changed your chariot for the chariot of the sun. What a day it dawns, when we have taken the doctrine of faith to our hearts, we have preferred. as a better investment be to do be to appear the logic to the rhythm and the ostentation the year to the day the life to the year the character to the performance and We have come to know that justice will be done to us and if our genius is slow the period will be long It is true that the cult is in a certain dominant relationship with the health of man and with his supreme powers so that it is in a certain way the source of intelligence. All the great eras have been eras of belief when there was an extraordinary power of action with when great national movements began when the arts appeared when heroes existed when poems were composed the human soul was something serious and had fixed its thoughts on spiritual certainties with a birth as strict as that of the hand on the sword or the pencil or the palustre It is true that genius obtains its stimulus from mountains of righteousness that all the beauty and power that men covet is born in a certain way from an Alpine District that every extraordinary degree of beauty in man or woman implies a moral enchantment in my opinion we reluctantly admit in another man a degree of moral feeling superior to our own a finer conscience more impressionable or indicating more precise degrees an ear more acute than our own to hear the notes of what is just and unjust we listen with suspicion to all evidence about it but once satisfied about such superiority we put no limit to the expectation of his genius because such people are closer than others to the secret of God they bathe in sweeter waters they hear news and have visions while others are left vacant we realize that holiness confers a certain intuition since it is not by our private force but by the public one by which we can share and know the nature of things there is an intimate interdependence of intelligence And morality given the equality of intelligence who will form more trustworthy judgments the one who has good or bad heart the heart has its reasons that reason does not know the heart is at the same time aware of the state of health or illness which is the supervisory state that is to say that of wisdom or madness prior of course to any question about Wit of arguments the quantity of facts or the elegance of Rhetoric so close is the alliance of mind and character that talent merges evenly into character the tendency of errors of principle leads men into dangerous careers As soon as their will does not dominate their passion or talent hence the extraordinary errors and the wrong final direction they follow Generally men spoiled by ambition hence the remedy for all errors the cure for blindness the cure for crime is the love so much love so much spirit said the Latin proverb the superiority that has no superior The Redeemer and instructor of souls just as its first essence is love morality must be the measure of Health if your gaze is on the eternal your intelligence will grow And Your opinions and actions will have a beauty that cannot be rivaled by the training or combined advantages of other men. The moment of loss of faith and action of the lucrative model will be marked by the pause or solstice of Genius. The consequent setback and the Inevitable loss of attraction to others. The vulgar will be sensitive to the change that occurs in you and your offspring, even if they pat you on the back and congratulate you for your common sense. Our recent culture has consisted of natural science. We have learned the ways of the Sun and the moon of the rivers and the Rains of the mineral and elemental kingdom of plants and animals man has learned to weigh the sun And its weight neither loses nor gains the journey of a star the moment of an eclipse can be determined Even in a split second the book of history the book of love the pull of passion and the commandments of duty are open to him the next lesson learned It is the continuation of the inflexible law of matter in the subtle realm of will and thought if gravity and projection remain in force in ideal cycles and the Ball does not stray through space a more secret gravitation a projection most secret, it rules in a no less tyrannical manner in human history and maintains the balance of power intact from one era to another, although the new element of freedom and the individual has been admitted, however, the primordial atoms are prefigured and predetermined with respect to Moral ends. and they go in search of justice and thus the ultimate good is achieved. Hidden religion is the attitude of those who see this unity, intimacy and sincerity of those who see that, contrary to appearances, the nature of things always works for the truth and the It is very short-sighted to limit our faith to the laws of gravity, chemistry, botany and others of the kind. These laws do not stop where our gaze loses them but rather promote the same geometry and chemistry on the invisible plane of the social and rational life of so that wherever we look at a child’s game or at the struggle of races, the perfect reaction, the Perpetual Judgment, remain attentive and protective and this appears in a series of events that concerns all men, inside and outside of their creed, men. superficial believe in luck they believe in circumstances it was because of someone’s name or because he was there then or it was like that and another day it would have been otherwise strong men believe in cause and effect man was born to do it and his father was born to be his father and the one of his fact and when you look closely you will see that it was not a matter of luck but that everything was an arithmetic problem or a chemical experiment The Curve of the flight of the moth is preordained and all things obey the number the rule and weight skepticism is disbelief in cause and effect a man does not understand that as he eats he thinks so as he treats he is and thus appears he does not understand that his son is the son of his thoughts and his actions fortunes do not They are exceptions but fruits the relationship and connection are not in a certain time and place but always and everywhere there is no Miscellaneous exemption or anomaly but a method and even a network and what comes out is what was put so how we are we act and so how we act, they act with us, we are the builders of our fortune, hypocrisy and lies, as well as the attempt to secure a good that does not belong to us, are once and for all frustrated and vain, but in men the bond of faith remains alive. Law is the basis of the human spirit in us it is the inspiration outside in nature we see its fatal force we call it moral sentiment we owe it to the Hindu scriptures it is a definition of law comparable with that of our Western books law is that which has no name color hands or feet is the least of the least and the greatest of the greatest everything and what knows everything that hears without ears sees without eyes moves without feet and does without hands if any reader censures me for using vague and traditional phrases allow me Let me suggest to you with a few examples What kind of trust is this and how real it allows me to show you that the dice are loaded that the colors are fast because they are the Original colors of the bell that the balloon is a battery because each item is a magnet and that the police and sincerity of the universe are assured because God delegates his divinity to each particle that there is no room for hypocrisy nor room for choice whoever leaves his native land for the first time and goes abroad discovers that his habits are broken in a new nation with a new language, its Quaker or Lutheran sect is lost. How is it not necessary for the order and existence of society? It misses this as well as the thousand vigilant rada of its neighbor that reduced it to decorum. That is the danger for young people. from New York from New Orleans from London from Paris after a brief experience he discovers that there are no large cities, none big enough to hide in, that the sensors of action are so numerous and so close in Paris as in littletown or Portland that gossip is just as swift and vengeful there is no concealment for every offense there is revenge the reaction or nothing for nothing or things are as wide as they are long it is not a rule of littleone or Portland but of the universe we cannot do without of the rudest documents of virtue we dislike gossip, however it is important to respect the property of Los Angeles The intimate fly sucks blood and gossip is a weapon from which we cannot steal the most private, supreme and select, nature created a police of many ranks God has delegated in a million deputies from these inferior external punishments the scale ascends then come the resentments the fears summoned by injustice The false relationships with other men attributed to the offender and the reaction of his defect on himself in the loneliness and devastation of his spirit you cannot hide any secret if the artist turns to opium or wine in his languor his work will be characterized as the effect of opium or wine if you make The portrait of a statue in which you find yourself while you were making it if If you spend money to show off in architecture, gardens, paintings or luggage, it will seem like it, we are all physiognomists and discoverers of character, and the things themselves are detectives. If you follow the suburban fashion by building a sumptuous house with little money, it will turn out to be a cheap mess for everyone, there is no privacy in which The civilized world cannot be penetrated, no secret can be kept, society is a masked ball where each person hides his true character and reveals it by hiding it. If a man wishes to hide something that he carries with him, those he meets know that he is hiding something and They generally know that what he hides would be otherwise if it were a belief or purpose. What he buries in his chest is as difficult to hide as fire. He who can subdue his opinion is a strong man. No one can utter two or three sentences without revealing to intelligent ears where it is situated with respect to life and thought That is, in the realm of the senses and understanding or in that of ideas and imagination in the realm of intuitions and duty, people do not seem to understand that their opinion about The world is also a confession of character. We can only see what we are and if we behave badly, we will blame others. The fame of Shakespeare or the Volter of Thomas de Kempis or Bonaparte characterizes those who confer it just as gaslight is the best night police the Universe protects itself with ruthless advertising each one must arm himself but not necessarily with a musket and pike happy he who when seeing them can feel that he has better weapons in his energy and perseverance for each creature his own weapon by artfully hidden Let her be for herself, it’s a good time. Her job is sword and shield. Don’t let her accuse anyone. Don’t let her hurt anyone. The way to right the bad world is to create the good world. Here’s a vulgar political economy plotting to cut your throat. to foreign competition and establish one’s own exclude others by force or declare war the way to conquer the healthy foreigner is not to kill him but to surpass his work and the crystal palaces and the world’s fairs with their committees and prizes for all kinds of industry are the result of this feeling, the American worker who hits 10 times with his hammer for each blow that the foreigner gives defeats him in a way as real as if the blows were directed at him. I consider the man happy who when it comes to success Look for a replica in your work, not in the La Opinión Market or patronage in all types of human employment in the Fine Arts and in the mechanical arts in navigation in agriculture in legislation there are those who do their task superficially or just as we say fulfill and as badly as they dare there are hardworking men on whom the burden of the business falls those who like to work and see the job well done who finish their task by itself and the state and the world congratulate themselves for counting mostly with such doers in the end the world will always do them justice; it cannot be otherwise, he who has acquired the skill can safely hope the opportunity for him to sit and appreciate and know that he will not be idle men talk as if victory were something fortunate work is victory where work is done victory is obtained there is not even a void you only need a verdict if You have yours, you are sure of the rest, and yet if witnesses are needed, there are witnesses nearby. There has never been a man so wise or good that he did not have one or more companions who came with him into the world and enjoyed his faculty and propagated it. I cannot see without stupor that no man thinks alone and no man acts alone but the divine advisors who entered life with him now with one disguise then with another like plainclothes policemen walk by his side step by step through the Kingdom of time this reaction is sincerity are the property of all things to make our word or act Sublime we have to make it real what counts is our system not the single isolated word or action use the language you want you can never say but what you are what I am and what I I think I transmit it to you despite my efforts to postpone it, what I am I have secretly transmitted it to the other while I decided in vain to tell him. He has heard from me what I have never said as men live they acquire the love for sincerity and they show less solicitude to be seduced or amused in the progress of character there is a growing faith in moral feeling and a diminishing faith in propositions young people admire particular talents and excellences when we grow up we value total effects and powers as the spirit vo The quality of man we have another vision and a new model, a vision that omits what is made for the eye and transfers to the maker an ear that does not Hear what men say but Hears what they do not say, there was a wise and devout man in the Catholic church called Saint Philip Neri of whose discernment and benevolence many anecdotes were told in Naples and Rome among the nuns of a convent not far from Rome one appeared who claimed certain rare gifts of inspiration and prophecy and the abbess warned the holy father in Rome Regarding the wonderful powers shown by his novice, the Pope did not know what to do with this new demand and when one day Felipe arrived on a trip, he consulted him. Felipe decided to visit the nun and learn about her character. He got on his mule and with his usual alacrity. He hurried through the mud and mud to the convent, told the abbess the wishes of her holiness and asked her to take him to the convent. The novice without delay called the nun and as soon as she entered the room, Felipe extended his splashed leg. of mud and asked him to take off her boots. The young nun, who had become the object of great attention and respect, backed away with fairness and refused. Felipe left there, mounted his mule and returned to Rome immediately to tell the Dad, don’t worry anymore, holy father. There is no miracle here because there is no humility. We should not worry much about what people want to say, but rather about what they should say, what their nature says, even if their busy, cunning and Yankee understanding tries to hide and drown out that word and articulate something different if we sit calmly he will say what he has to say with his will or against it we do not care about you whatever we intend we are always looking through you for the blurry dictator behind while your habit speaks or whim we wait with patience and education until that wise superior speaks again. Not even children deceive with The false reasons that their parents give them in response to their questions when they affect natural facts, religion or people when the father instead To think what it really is, they get rid of it with a traditional or hypocritical response. Children perceive that it is traditional or hypocritical . To a healthy constitution, the defect of another is immediately apparent and its signs only remain hidden by our own dislocation. anatomical observer notices that the sympathies of the chest, abdomen and pelvis are finally revealed in the face and features, not only is Our Beauty exhausted but it leaves a message about how the beauty was going to be exhausted. Physiognomy and phrenology are not new sciences but declarations that the soul is aware of new sources of information, other sciences of broader scope appear behind them, so with respect to us it is really of little importance that we make mistakes in expressing ourselves as long as we do not voluntarily depart from them. the truth how a man’s truth comes to mind long After we have forgotten his words as silent hours come For truth is our only armor in all the trances of life and death Wit is cheap and anger is cheap but if you cannot argue or explain yourselves to the other party divide the truth against me and against you and I will reach a position from which you cannot dislodge the other party will forget the words you said but the assumed part will be your defense why should I hasten to solve all the riddles that life offers me, I am sure that the questioner who gives me so many problems will bring the answers in due time, as he is a very rich, very powerful and very cheerful giver, he will provide me with everything in his own way why should I give up my thought if I cannot respond to an objection I consider only if it remains in my life the same thing that was there we can only see outside what we have inside if we do not know the gods it is because we did not welcome any if you have greatness you will find greatness in doormen and chimney sweeps Only he for whom things are Immortal is legitimately immortal. I have read somewhere that no one is perfect as long as someone is incomplete, that the happiness of one cannot consist of the misery of another. The Buddhist says no seed will die, every seed will grow. Where is there a service? let it remain unremunerated What is the vulgar and the essence of vulgarity but the greed of reward is the difference between the craftsman and the artist the talent and the genius The sinner and the saint the man whose gaze is fixed not on the nature of his act but in the pay, whether money is a position or fame is base, almost equally great is he whose eyes are open to see that the reward of actions cannot be avoided because it is transformed into his action and acquires its nature that gives its own fruit like any other tree a great man cannot escape the effect of his act because it is immediate the genius of life is a friend of the noble and in the darkness he brings friends from far away fear God and wherever you go men will think who have visited venerable cathedrals, I observe the feelings that represent the glory of the human being, love, humility and faith, like the intimacy of divinity in the atoms. As soon as man is just, guarantees and provisions emanate from within his body and his spirit. Thus, when the flowers reach maturity, they exhale incense and a beautiful atmosphere is generated on the planet by the regular emanations of its rocks and soils. Man becomes equal to every event, he can face danger for what is right, with duty as a guide, he can enter into the flames, the bullets or the pestilence with his poor tender and suffering body he feels the security of a fair job I am not afraid of accidents As long as I am in my place it is strange that superior people do not feel that they have better resistance to cholera than avoiding peas salads life It is not respectable, perhaps it is so if it lacks a generous task, a guarantee of duties or affections that constitute a necessity of existence. A man’s task is his life insurance. It defends him by the conviction that his work is willed by God and cannot be omitted. the lightning rod that disarms the threat of the cloud is your body when fulfilling its duty a high objective reacts on the means on the and on the organs of the body a high objective is as curative as arnica Napoleon says get visited the sick of La plague to demonstrate that the man who could overcome fear could also overcome the plague and was right, it is incredible the force that the will has in such cases penetrates the body and induces it to such a state of activity that repels all pernicious influence While the Fear invites her to tell that while William of Oranch was sedating a city On the Continent, a knight arrived in his field to discuss a matter and when he knew that the king was before the wall, he risked going there. He found him directing the operation of his artillerymen and when he explained his coming and obtained his response, the king said No. You know, sir, that every moment you spend here you put your life at risk, I am not at greater risk than His Majesty, replied the knight, it is fine, said the king, but my duty brought me here and yours did not. A few minutes later a cannonball fell into the place and killed the knight the confident student can invent the warnings of his first instinct under the guidance of a deeper instinct he learns to welcome misfortune he learns that adversity is the prosperity of the great he learns the greatness of humility he will work In the darkness he will work against failure, pain and malevolence. If he receives an insult, he can be insulted. His whole task is not to insult. Aphis writes: On the last day, men will wear dust on their heads as a badge and ornament of their vulgar confidence. Morality Equals It enriches everyone and impoverishes everyone. It is the currency that buys everything and that everyone finds in his pocket under the whip of the driver. The slave will feel the same as the saints and heroes in the worst ruin and calamity. Man is surprised by a feeling of elasticity. that reduces the loss to nothing I remember certain traits of a remarkable person whose life and doctrine reveals many inspirations of this feeling Benito was always great in the present moment he did not monopolize anything from the past neither in his cabinet nor in his memory he had no plans for the future nor Regarding what he would do to men or what they would do to him, he said they never surpass me except when I know they surpass me. I meet brutal and powerful people who I don’t know how to reply to. They believe they have Defeated me. That’s how he appears in society. in the newspapers I am Defeated in this way in the sight of all men perhaps in a dozen different lines my account book may show that I am in debt but it cannot make the extremes Touch and thus defeat the enemy may my career does not prosper we are sick we are ugly dark and unpopular my children can fail also I seem to fail with my friends and clients in all the encounters that have taken place I have not been armed for that particular occasion and I have been Defeated historically however I know all the time that I have never been Defeated I have never fought and I will certainly fight when my time comes and I will overcome the bnus weapon says the man who after having compared his own strength or weakness with that of others does not know the difference is easily overcome by his enemies I passed 10 months in the field said the starry Orion was my only company wherever a squirrel or a bee could go I ate How much was offered to me I picked up the ivy and the dogwood when I went abroad I walked with every man because I knew that my good and my evil would not come from there but from the spirit that I served. I could not lower myself to just a circumstance like the others who put their lives in their fortune and their company did not give me hands and feet, but if it did not come spontaneously it was not legitimate if he could do without me I was sure that I could do without him the same thing happened with my friends I never courted the most charming I did not request any friendship or favor when it was myself we would both know nothing had to be asked or guaranteed Benito went out to look for his friend and he found him on the road but he did not express surprise at the coincidence. Otherwise, if he knocked on his friend’s door and he was not home, he did not return, he concluded that he had misunderstood the insinuations, he insisted on not asking for excuses from the same individual he had met. He was harmed , this, as he said, was a sign of personal vanity, however he would correct his behavior in that aspect in which he had made a mistake with a view to the next person he met. Thus, in his opinion, universal justice would be satisfied. Mira went to ask him what he should do with the poor girl. woman from Genese who had joined his service for a shilling a day and who, after falling ill herself, had had to go to bed, had to take care of her or fire her. Benito said why? you ask one thing It becomes clear when it is done when its time comes doubt whether to put her on the street think about throwing the little Jenny that you are carrying out onto the street if you throw the woman you throw the little girl out Although it may not seem like it to you in the calls tremblers I find a belief in the doctrine that they faithfully profess that encourages them to open their doors to every traveler who intends to live with them because, according to what they say, the spirit will immediately manifest itself to man and will manifest itself to society. What kind of person is he and if He is one of them. They do not receive him nor reject him. It is not in vain that they have been dirty with mud. They have worked and suffered in their fields and have rioted with their bear dances from year to year. If in truth they have achieved so much honest wisdom, he whose life is perpetual. Victory to him who, out of sympathy with the invisible and the real, finds support in work instead of praise that does not shine and who would prefer not to do so. Such is the man who with open eyes chooses the virtue that outrages the virtuous and religion before which the churches stop their discords in order to burn And exterminate because the Supreme virtue is always against the law The Miracle always goes to the miraculous not to the arithmetic talent and success interest me only moderately the upper class those that affect our imagination men who cannot grasp their objects with their hands the lost the lost the crazy of ideas suggest what they cannot execute they speak to the ages and are heard from afar the spirit does not love paralysis or malformations If there ever was a good man be assured that there was another and There will be more so it happens in relation to the future hour the specter adorned with beauty in the curtain at night on the table by day apprehension the certainty of a coming change the human race has always shown At least this implicit gratitude for the gift of existence, that is, for its continuation, every revelation worthy of us, the gentle confidence that we find in our experience will cover the slopes of this Abyss with flowers. The soul, when it has been well used, is not curious about immortality. She is so pleased that she is sure that she will continue to be so. She does not ask about the supreme power. The son of Antiochus asked his father when he would enter the battle. Perhaps he fears that he will be the only one in the army who does not hear the trumpet, replied the king. It is something supreme to trust. that if it is better for us to live, we will live better to entertain this conviction than to have the lease of indefinite centuries and millennia and eons, it was the question of our duration, it is the question of our merit, immortality will come to those who are suitable for it and he who will be A great soul in the future must be a great soul now. It is a doctrine too remarkable to depend on any legend. That is to say, on nothing other than our own experience, it must be proven by our activity and projects that imply an endless future for its deployment, what we call. effeminate religion, such as you are, the gods cannot help you very much. Men are incapable of living because of the forgetful inequality with respect to their needs, or they suffer from politics, bad neighborliness, or illness, and they would be glad to know that they are exempt from the duties of life, however, the wise instinct asks how death will help them. Those will not be exempt when they die. I will not desire death out of pusillanimity. The weight of the universe presses on the shoulders of each moral agent to support him in his task, the only known way of escape for all. the worlds of God is the action you must do your work before you are liberated to the extent that it is a question of fact regarding the government of the universe Marco Antonio summed it all up in one word it is pleasant to die if there are gods it is sad to live If there are not, I think that the last lesson of life The choral song that arises from all the elements and all the Angels is a voluntary obedience a freedom needed man is made of the same atoms that the world shares the same impressions predispositions and destiny when his spirit is illuminated when his heart is kind he joyfully throws himself into the sublime order and does with knowledge what he The stones make by their structure the religion that must guide and satisfy in the present and future age, whatever it may be, it must be current. The scientific mind must have faith in science. There are two things that I hate, said Muhammad, the wise man in his infidelity and the fool. in its devotion our age is impatient with both and especially with the latter let us admit nothing now that is not its own proof there is certainly enough for the heart and the imagination In religion itself let us not bother with assertions and half-truths with emotion and wheeze there will be a new church founded on moral science at first cold and naked again a child in a manger the algebra and mathematics of ethical law the church of men to come Without reeds psalters or cabuches but it will have heaven and earth like beams and pairs science as symbol and illustration will quickly bring together beauty music painting and poetry there has never been a stoicism so firm and demanding as this will send man to his central solitude will make him ashamed of social manners its spicy and will let him know that much of what he has he owes to his friend he will not expect cooperation he will walk alone anonymous thought anonymous power the super personal heart will be his only rest he needs only his own verdict good fame cannot help him nor bad fame hurt him The laws are your consolation because the good laws are alive, they know if we have observed them and they encourage you with the guidance of a great duty and an infinite Horizon. Honor and fortune exist for him who always recognizes the proximity of the great causes that always exist. feel in the presence of elevated causes seven tempestuous considerations hear what the Briton Merlin sang with sharp eyes the sincere tongue Do not say that the thieves when they arrive usurp the seats for which we fight the ancestors who found this land They did not always have any advantage from the one who Tomorrow will come, men expect a good loan, but if you think about measuring your path, pay attention to the fact that you carry the lightest weight. He who has little can give to him who has less, and so can you, son of Sindan. Take care to carry the powerful gold and be ready to hesitate before finish your task only those with light weapons climb the hill the richest of the lords is the use and the muse More ruddy health lives in the Sun swims in the sea drinks the health of the wind where the canopic star shines in May the shepherds They are grateful, happy, The Nations, the music that reaches deep and all madness is a cordial word, hides your knowledge with delight, plays with the bow but hits the target of uses, Ingenuity, the first is to live well with those who do not have, divide your acre. The whole year will make fruits and virtues sprout here. Fool and enemy can wander unscathed, loved ones and lovers wait at home for a day for effort, an hour for home, but life is too short for a friend. Although the loquacity of advising is born with us. I confess that Life is more a matter of wonder than of didactics. There is so much fate, so much resistance dictated by the temperament and the unknown inspiration in it that we doubt whether we can say anything about our experience that will be of help to others. All professions are timid agents and expectant, the priest is happy if his prayers or his sermon reach one soul, if they reach two or 10, it is a notable triumph. However, he walks to the church without the security of knowing the bad mood or being able to cure it. The doctor hesitantly prescribes according to his resources. the same tonic or sedative that he has applied before to 100 men with different results to a new and peculiar constitution if the patient heals he is happy and surprised the lawyer advises the client and tells and confides his story to the Jury and appears so happy and relieved as his client If the verdict is favorable the judge op weighs the arguments he puts on a serious face and since there must be a decision he decides how he can and hopes to have done justice and given satisfaction to the community but in the end he is just a lawyer life is a shy and inexperienced spectator we do what we can and we give them the best names we really like to receive praise for our action but our conscience says no For us, there is little we can do for others. We accompany the young man with sympathy and with multiple sayings of the wise men to the door of the arena, but the truth is that he will resist or fall, not because of our strength or because of the ancient sayings, but only because of his own. force unknown to us what a man conquers in any step is a deep secret for the other beings of the world and good only comes to him when he turns his back on us and all men and extracts something from his private wisdom what we have to To say about life, therefore, it is one of registration or, if you prefer, celebration rather than applicable rules. However, vigor is contagious and everything that makes us think or feel strongly adds to our power and increases our field of action. We have a debt with him. great heart with The noble genius with all those who risk life and fortune in a just act with those who have discovered new sciences with those who have refined life with elegant pursuits they serve us what we call good souls not the good society the good Society is only one’s own protection against the vulgarities of the street and the tavern. Good society in common sense has no ideas or objectives. It provides the service of a perfumery or a laundry, not of a farm or a factory. It is an exclusion and a Sydney precinct. smed said a few yards in London cement or dissolve friendship it is a matter of decorum without principles a matter of clean clothes and carriages of gloves cards and elegance in trifles there are other measures of respect for a man various with the number of clean shirts he wears Every day society wants to be fun I do not wish to be fun I do not wish for life to be cheap sio Sagrada I wish that the days were like fragrant loaded centuries now we count them as banked figures for some debt that they have to pay us or that we have to pay or for some pleasure that we are going to try all we have to do is inhale and then exhale is better Porfirio’s definition life is what holds matter together a child in arms is a channel through which the energies we call ADO flow visibly love and reason Look at the [Music] cometaries animals plants stones gases and imponderable elements let’s make the inference of the ends through this pomp of means mirabo said Why should we feel like men if not to triumph in all things and places of nothing Has to say it is beneath me nor to feel that something may be beyond your capacity Sada is impossible for the man who can desire it is that necessary to achieve it This is the only law of triumph whoever says it is on the right path but that is not the tone and Genius of the man on the street in the street we become cynical the men we meet are rude and clumsy the smartest Wit has its sediment that a large number of frivolous poor invalids epicureans antiquarians politicians thieves and beleid losers of both sexes could be profitably dispensed with humanity is divided into two classes benefactors and evildoers the second class is vast the first is a handful a sick person rarely but the spectators are encouraged by the vague hope that he will die there are many poor lives many invalids discouraging worthy cases of a gun Franklin said men are very superficial and mean they start with something but at the first difficulty they run away scared if they used it they would know that they have the capacity we will judge a country by the majority or by The minority by The minority surely it is pedantry to appreciate to nations by sense or by square miles of land or by anything other than their importance to the spirit of the age let’s stop this hypocritical talk about the masses the masses are rude weak complete pernicious in their demands and influence and do not need to be flattered If not schooled I do not want to grant them anything but [Music] tame them the worst thing about Charity is that the lives that they ask you to preserve do not deserve it masses the calamity is the masses I do not want masses at all but only honest men only charming women sweet competent and not millions of drunken idiots or lazy novices, if the government knew how to do it, I would want to see the population stopped, no. multiplied when it reaches its authentic law of action every man who is born will be hailed as essential let us remove this urra from the masses let us have the considered vote of simple men who speak for their honor and their conscience in Ancient Egypt it was established by law that the vote of a prophet and was equivalent to that of 100 hands I think he was greatly underestimated the mud differs in dignity as we discover in our daily preferences what a vicious practice of our politicians in Washington of pairing up as if a man who when leaving votes wrongly could excuse you who You pretend to vote correctly for marching or as if your presence did not count in any other way than with your vote. Suppose that the 300 Heroes of Thermopylae had been paired with 300 Persians, it would have been the same for Greece and for history, Napoleon was called by his men. sent m if they had told the truth they should have called it 100 million nature makes 50 tasteless melons for one good one and shakes the tree full of rough apples green worms before you can find a dozen that serve as dessert scattered nations of naked Indians and Nations of Christians dressed with two or three good heads among them. Nature works very hard and is only right once in a million among men. It is enough for her if she produces one teacher in a century. The more difficult it is to create good men, the better use will be made of them. When they appear, I once did a count in a small neighborhood and there, for every healthy man, there were 12 to 15 people who depended on his material help, for whom he was a spoon and pitcher, sponsor and godfather, daycare and hospital and many other functions, it doesn’t seem like It matters a lot whether he is a bachelor or a patriarch. If he does not violently decline the duties that fall upon him, all that kindness will be repaid in one way or another. That is the tax paid by his skills. Good men are employed in centers of use. private and with a view to the greatest influence, it is the people without Lares, not the community, who receive all the revelations, whether of mechanical intellectual or moral science, all notable events of our time all cities all colonizations trace their origin back to a particular brain the exploits that make up our civility were thoughts of a few noble heads. Meanwhile, multiplying productivity is neither harmful nor superfluous, perhaps you will say that this rabble of Nations could be dispensed with, it is not like that, they all count and depend on each other, the side keeps everything alive while The subtlest fiber of public need links it to the tree. The fatuous, quarrelsome and thieving class is tolerated as proletarian and each of its vices is the excess or acrimony of a virtue. The mass is animal in terms of pupillage and is close to the chimpanzee. but the units of which the mass is composed are worker bees and each one can grow to become a queen the rule is that we are used as raw atoms until we think then we use everything else nature makes every misdeed good nature provides for real needs no healthy man ultimately distrusts himself his existence is a perfect response to sentimental musings if he is needed and has the properties that are required for us to be here it is proof that we should be here we have so much right and of the same type to be here as the fallen corporal Sandy haw they have to be there saying poramo that the majority is evil does not imply malice or a bad heart in the observer but simply that the majority is immature who does not yet know themselves and does not have an opinion formed once known that would be an oracle for her and for everyone, however in the passing moment the four-legged interest tends to prevail and this brute Force while forging the discipline of the world the school of Heroes the glory of the martyrs has caused in every age the satire of wits and the tears of good men consider that newspapers, clubs, governments and churches result from the interest and payment of the [__] there are wise men who have faced the obstacle in their time like Socrates with his famous irony like bacon with his lifelong dissimulation like Erasmus with his praise of madness like revelis with a satire that tears apart nations you will say that they were the ones that the chevalier de bul wrote to me Abab Ay but fools have the advantage of numbers and that is what decides it makes no sense for us to declare war on them not to weaken them they will always be the masters a practice or use of which they are not the authors will not be introduced in the face of these sinister events the first lesson of history is the good of evil the good is a good doctor But sometimes evil is better it was William’s oppression in Norman forest laws and crushing despotism that made possible the Inspiration of the Magna Carta under John Edward and he needed money soldiers castles as many as he could get it was necessary to summon the people for a shorter and faster path and the House of Commons arose to obtain subsidies, he paid with privileges in the sixth year of his reign, he decreed that no tax would be approved without the consent of the Lords and the Commons, the basis of the British Constitution Plutarch affirms that the cruel wars that followed Alexander’s advance introduced civilization the language and arts of Greece into the wild East introduced marriage built 70 cities and united hostile nations under One government the barbarians who devastated the Roman Empire did not arrive too soon shiller He says that the 30 years’ war made Germany a nation selfish rude despots serve men immensely like Henry VII in his dispute with the pope as well as Cranwell’s infatuation no less than his wisdom or the ferocity of the Ares of Russia and the fanaticism of the French regicides of 1789 the frost that destroys the harvest of a year saves the harvests of a century by destroying the weevil or the locust wars fires plagues break the immobile routine cleanse the countryside of rotten races and dens of resentment and prepare the terrain to new men there is a tendency for things to improve by themselves and war, revolution or bankruptcy that breaks a rotten system allow everything to acquire a new and natural order the most acute evils are inclined to such periodicity that deviations of the planets and the fevers and bad moods of men limit themselves nature is sustained by antagonism passions resistance and danger are educators we acquire the strength that we have overcome without war there are no soldiers without enemies there are no Heroes the The sun would be insipid if the universe were not opaque. The glory of character consists in facing the horrors of depravity in extracting from there new traits of power, just as art and stimulates by a new use and combination of contrasts, always undermining the darkness after wells of night even more gloomy what would the painter or the poet or the saint do if it were not for the crucifixions and hells there is always in the world a wonderful balance of beauty and disgust of magnificence and rats it was not Antonio but a poor cleaner the what he said The more annoying the more That is my principle I do not have much respect for the purposes nor the deeds of the people who went to California in 1849 were a fever and a strife of needy Adventurers and in the western territory a general amnesty of all quarrelsome From the Riberas, some came with good intentions, others with bad ones, and all with the vulgar desire to find the shortest path to wealth. Nature watched over them all and turned that misdeed into goodness. California was populated and subjugated, civilized in an immoral way and with this fiction. authentic prosperity arose and grew, it was a lure of ducks, boats launched to distract the whale, but The Authentic ducks, the whales that provide oil, were married to Sabine kidnappings and thieves’ raids. Sublime but men are not. Inventions are excellent but sometimes we are ashamed of the inventors. The agents who brought about such notable events as the colonization of California, Texas, Oregon and the union of the two oceans were the rude and miserable. selfishness, fraud and conspiracy most of the great results of history are achieved by discredited means the achievements in Illinois and the great western railroad are inestimable and far exceed any recorded intentional philanthropy What was it? the benefit achieved by the good King Alfred or by Howard or pestalozi or Elizabeth fra or Florence ningel or every lover greater or lesser Compared with the involuntary blessing wrought in the Nations by the selfish capitalists who build the eleno Michigan And the network of highways of the Mississippi Valley that have evoked not only the richness of the soil but the energy of millions of men, a sentence of ancient wisdom states that God hangs the greatest weights from the finest wires. What happens to nations happens every day in private homes. When the friends of a rich man told him about the follies of his children and informed him of the dangers that threatened them, he replied that he had made the same mistakes in his youth and had overcome them in such a way that he was not alarmed by the dissipation of Its offspring were turbulent waters But as I believed they would soon hit bottom and rise to the surface. This is a well-worn practice and for every successful escape there are many failures, however it would seem that a good understanding is enough as much as moral sensitivity to keep us upright instantly. It is seen that the gratification of passions is harmful and what men like least is socially degrading, then talent sinks with character, Volter said Cesmus and L rurus are merit, we see those who, through a certain selfishness or infatuation, overcome obstacles from which they recoil. The prudent man, the good supporter, is an intoxicating and narrow-minded man who, due to the fact that he does not see many things, sees some honour, exaggeration and if he joins with others like him or applies himself to objects of little importance such as a certain business or politics of the moment prefers them to the universe and seems inspired and as if from heaven for those who wish to magnify the issue and decide it is certainly better if we can ensure the strength and ardor that rude and passionate men bring to society without their vices But who will dare To extract the weight from the wagon wheel, it is clear that it is not a question of a moral deformity, but of a good misplaced passion. There is no man who is not indebted to his manias, according to the old oracle, the furies are the bonds of the men, poisons are the main medicines to end the disease and save life with the high prophetic style and it causes the anger of man to exalt and twists and turns our evil into our good Shakespeare wrote it is said that the best men are molded with their effects great educators and lawyers And especially generals and leaders of the colonies rely mainly on this raw material and consider that men of Passionate and irregular strength are the best certain judicious and energetic man the last director of the agricultural school of the port of bosten He told me I don’t want any of your good boys, give me bad ones, that’s the reason. I suppose why. As soon as they guess that the children are good, the mothers get scared and think they are going to die. Mirabo said, only men with strong passions are capable of achieve greatness only they are capable of deserving public gratitude passion, even if it is a bad regulator, is a powerful source every absorbing passion has the effect of freeing us from the small problems and cares of each day it is heat that makes our human atoms spin what overcomes the friction when using the threshold and what directs us first in society and gives us a good beginning and speed that is easy to maintain once it has begun. In short, there is no man Who is not at some point in debt to his vices, just as there is no plant that is not nourished by manure, we only insist that man improves and that the plant grows and converts mean nature into something better. The wise worker will not regret the poverty or loneliness that highlighted his laborious talent. The young man loves compliments and the beautiful appearance of Children of fortune but great men come from the middle classes It is better for the head It is better for the heart Marco Antonio says that Fronton told him that the supposedly well-born mostly lack heart Nothing is as indicative of a profound culture as A careful consideration of the ignorant Charles James Fox said of England, the history of this country proves that we are not to expect from men in ordinary circumstances the vigilance, energy and decision without which the House of Commons would lose its greatest strength and weight in human nature. tends towards indulgence and the most meritorious public services They have always been carried out by people with a standard of living exempt from opulence However, what we ask daily is to be conventional kind gods remedied this Def in my speech in my form in my fortune that take me a little out of the circle I admire and be on good terms with them but the wise gods say we have nothing better for you for humiliations for defeats for loss of sympathy for abysses of disparity learn a truth and a humanity superior to those of any excellent gentleman, a gentleman of Fifth Avenue, a wasan owner, are not the supreme style of man, although there is no condition for good hearts and healthy Minds, whoever is considered wise by many should not be a protégé, he should know the choas in where the poor lie the tasks carried out by the first class Spirits Homer Aesop Socrates Alfred servants Shakespeare frankl possessed The sentiment and mortification of the poor man a rich man was never insulted in his life but this man must be hurt by the cold the hunger war or ruffians have never endangered a rich man, and I will see that the moderation of his ideas is not a fatal handicap, being too guarded and eating too much cake. What proofs of humanity could he bear to strip away his protections? Is a good accountant a sagacious person from an insurance office perhaps he could pass an exam and obtain a degree perhaps he will advise well in a court of justice put him now among the farmers, the firefighters, the Indians and the immigrants faced with a highway robber put him to the test with the crowd sent to Kansas to the top of pique to oregoni if he has authentic faculties that will be the element he needs and he will come out of there with greater wisdom and manly power Aesop saadi Cervantes regnar They were captured by corsairs sentenced to death sold as slaves and they learned the realities of human life, bad times have scientific value, they are occasions that a good apprentice should not waste. Just as we happily head to fan to entertain ourselves with The Stormy Winds and The Strong Fingers of Patriotism, fanatical persecutions, civil war, national bankruptcy or revolution They are richer in central tones than languid years of prosperity which was for as long as we can remember a continent Solid yawns and unfolds its composition and Genesis we learn geology the morning after the earthquake on atrocious diagrams of cleft mountains lands raised sun and dry bed From the sea in our life and culture, everything develops from use, passion, war, revolt, bankruptcy and not least from folly and errors, insult, boredom and bad company. Nature is a rag picker that transforms the bundles, scraps and ends in new creations like a good chemist whom I saw the other day in his laboratory turning his old shirts into pure white sugar, life is an unlimited privilege and when you buy the ticket and get in the car you have no idea of the good company you will find there You acquire much more than the price indicated. Men achieve a certain greatness without knowing it when they work for another objective. If now at this point we venture to establish the first obvious rules of life, I will not repeat here the first rule of economics already proposed time and time again. again why every man must support himself but I will say be healthy you must not spare efforts pains abstinence poverty nor exercise by which he can earn the disease is a cannibal that consumes all life and youth that she can get and devours her own sons and daughters, I imagine her as a pale howling ghost, distracted, extremely selfish, without concern for the good and great, attentive to the sensations that has lost her soul and afflicts other souls with meanness and melancholy, and invites make voracious for trifles Dr. Johnsen said sternly every man is a scoundrel As soon as he is sick, do not be hypocritical and treat him sensibly when talking to a drunk we do not pretend to be drunk we must treat the sick with the same firmness, offering them all the help for granted but With restraint, I once asked a clergyman from a remote town Who his companions were. Which man did he frequent? He replied that he spent his time with the sick and the dying. I told him that it seemed to me that he needed another company even more because he had that one, since he did. those people would get sick and die for no reason, we should leave everything and go with them, but from what I had observed, they were as frivolous as the rest, and sometimes let’s commit ourselves more without spoiling each other. I knew a wise woman than her friends. When she gets old, she tells me The best part of health is a good disposition, it is more essential than talent. Even in the works of talent nothing will replace the lack of sunshine in the peaches and for knowledge to be appreciable you must have the joy of wisdom whenever you are sincerely grateful. I nourished you The joy of the spirit indicates its strength all healthy things are affable genius operates sportingly and goodness Salute at the end for this reason he who understands the law that distributes things is not discouraged but is encouraged with great desires and efforts discouraged, he reveals that he does not understand it. A Dutch proverb says that paint costs nothing, such is its conservation capacity in humid climates. Sunlight costs less and yet it is a more beautiful pigment. The same thing happens with joy and good humor. How much The more it is spent, the more the latent heat of an ounce of wood or stone is left is inexhaustible. You can rub the same pine splinter until it burns 100 times. The capacity for happiness of a soul cannot be calculated or drained. It has been observed that depressed Spirits develop the germs of a plague on individuals and nations an ancient recommendation of good behavior reads aliis laetus sapien I saw that the English proverb translates be cheerful and wise I know how easy it is for men of the world to appear serious and mock your sanguine youth and its brilliant dreams without However, I consider the most cheerful castles in the air that have been built more comfortable and useful than the dungeons in the air that are daily excavated and inhabited by grumpy and dissatisfied people. I know and hate those miserable guys who always see a black star crossing the walls. light and nuanced clouds high in the sky waves of light pass and hide it for a moment but the black star rushes to the zenith however power lives with joy hope makes us industrious while despair is not a muse and dulls the active powers if a man does not make nature and life happier for us it would be better if he had not been born when the political economist takes into account the unproductive classes he should put at their head the class of those who pity themselves They beg for sympathy and lament imaginary disasters so I have translated some old French verses you have cured certain sorrows and survived the most acute ones but what torments of pain you endured for evils that never came there are three needs that can never be satisfied the one of the rich who wants something more the of the sick person who wants something different and that of the Traveler who says wherever you want, I come out here, the Turkish cadi said in the manner of yours, I wander from one place to another and you are no longer happy and content in any of them, my compatriots are no less infatuated with him. rococo toy from Italy all of America seems about to embark towards Europe but we will not always cross seas and lands lightly and for pleasure, as we say, one day our Passion for America will make us expel our Passion for Europe, culture will bring gravity and domestic rest to those who now only travel because they do not know where to spend their money. Who arouses more compassion than that excellent family group that has just arrived in its punctual car, further than ever from home and from any honest goal, each nation has successively asked to that they have come until in the end the group is ashamed and asks the same question at the gates of each city. Genial manners are good as well as the power of accommodation. In all circumstances, but the supreme prize of life is the fortune that crowns a man. man is to be born with a tendency towards a certain purpose for which he achieves employment and happiness, whether it is making baskets or swords, channels, statues or songs. I do not doubt that this was what Socrates meant when he stated that artists were in reality, not apparently, the only ones. Authentic wise men, in childhood we imagined ourselves trapped by the Horizon as if by a glass bell and we did not believe that after a long journey we would reach the place where the Sun and the descending stars bathe. When we try, the Horizon flees before us and leaves us in a land endless without the shelter of a bell jar however it is strange how much we cling with astronomy to this bell of a domestic and protective Horizon I find the same Illusion in the search for happiness that I observe every summer in this vicinity As soon as the birds they have mated the young ones they don’t like the city they don’t like the coast they travel inland They find a cozy house deep in the mountains as secret as their hearts they set out on their journeys in search of a home they arrive in berkshire they arrive in Vermont they look at the farms good farms high slopes But where is the seclusion one farm is close to another is close to that one they are far from Boston but close to albani from Burlington or Montreal they explore the farm but the house turns out to be small old few discontented people lived there and left There is too much sky, too much of the outside world, it is too public. The young man longs for solitude. When he gets home, he goes through it, not the deep retreat he was looking for. Ah now I understand, he says he will gain depth with people, only friends will give him depth. Yes, but this year there is great scarcity it is difficult to find them and then difficult to keep them they always leave they are also in the Whirlwind of the fleeting world and they have commitments and needs they go to Wisconsin they write from Bremen they will see you soon slowly very slowly learn the lesson there is only one depth only one interior their purpose when joy, calamity or genius teach him. Then the forests, farms, shopkeepers and taxi drivers of the city, like prophets or friends, will indifferently return to him the reflection of his unfathomable sky of his populated solitude. The usefulness of a trip is brief and occasional. but its best fruit when it is found is conversation, it is a main function of life. What difference does there make in the hospitality of the Spirit? It is inestimable that to whom we can say what we cannot say to ourselves, others are unintentionally hurtful and deprive us of the Power of the Spirit. Thoughts overwhelm and imprison us, just as when there is sympathy, only one wise man is needed to make everyone seem wise. A sock turns his companion into one. An amazing capacity for numbness possesses this brother when he occupies a public office or position. dissolves one after another they disappear without warning and the place is at your disposal What is more incurable than a frivolous habit a fly is as indomitable as a full one however foolishness in the sense of fun, clowning or ogasnism are easily endured As Iran said, nonsense is singularly restorative but a virulent aggressive fool disturbs the reason of the entire house. I have seen an entire family of calm and sensible people become deranged and out of their minds, the victim of a rogue because the firm obstinacy of a perverse person irritates to the best of us since we have to resist the absurd, resistance only exasperates the acre fool who thinks that nature and gravity are wrong and only he is right, so all the criminals soon become perverted despite their virtues and abilities. contradict accuse justify or repair the wrongdoer as in the case of a boat or a car that can overturn not only the foolish pilot or driver but everyone on board is forced to assume strange or ridiculous attitudes to balance the load and avoid the accident to remedy it while it is still possible. I recommend phlegm and sincerity. Let all the truth with which one speaks or acts reside in the zero of Indifference or the truth itself will be nonsense, but when the case is at an advanced stage and turns out to be malignant, the only sure thing is is to carry out an amputation as the Sailors say cut And set sail how to live go with such incapable companions thus life is mostly wasted experience teaches little more than our first instinct of self-defense let us not compromise ourselves [Music] unsatisfactory in common experience I’m afraid the success that people are happy with is a bargain a lucrative job an advantage gained over a competitor a marriage a patrimony an inheritance and the like with such objectives the conversation is superficial politics business personal defects the bad exaggerated news and the rain is discouraging and makes us feel sore and sensitive if someone arrives who can illuminate this dark house with thoughts, show us their own wealth, the gifts we possess, how indispensable they are, their magical power over man and nature, their access. to poetry to religion and to the powers that constitute character then awakens in us the feeling of worthiness its suggestions demand new ways of life new books new men new arts and sciences then we emerge from our eggshell existence to the great dome and we see the zenith above and the nadir below us. Instead of the tanks and buckets of knowledge in which we are daily confined, we go down to the seashore and plunge our hands into its miraculous waves. The effect of the company is wonderful. men are no longer what they were, they all went to California and they all came back millionaires, there is no book or pleasure in life comparable to this one. If you ask for the best part of the experience, we respond to some occasions of simple dealings with good people, our conversation informs us again and again. again that we belong to better circles than those we have hitherto contemplated, that we are invited to do so by a mental power whose generalizations are more worthy of causing joy and impression than anything that is now called philosophy and literature in lively conversation. glimpses of the universe indications of a native power of the soul distant lights and shadows of an Andean landscape that we cannot reach in solitary meditation from here sometimes come profuse oracles to which memory returns in barren hours add the consent of the will and the temperament And there will be the pact of friendship our first need in life is that of someone for whom we do what we are capable of That is the service of a friend with him we are easily great exerts a Sublime attraction on any virtue that is in us how it opens the doors of existence what questions we ask what understanding we have how few words are necessary it is the only authentic society an Oriental poet Ali Ben abu Taleb writes with sad Truth he who has 1000 friends cannot do without one and he who has a enemy everywhere he finds it few writers have said anything better about it more than indicating this relationship as proof of Mental Health you will not learn any secret until you know friendship until divine knowledge enters into the imperfect life is not long enough to Friendship is a serious matter And majestic like a real presence or a religion and not a postilion meal to be taken on the go, there is a modesty in friendship as in love And although beautiful souls do not lose sight of it, they never name it with men first class our friendship or good understanding goes beyond any accident of estrangement of reputational condition however we do not provide for the supreme good of life we take care of our health we save money we finish the roof and get enough clothes But who will provide wisely so that the best of properties is not lacking? We friends know that all our learning prepares us for it and we do not take a step in that direction. How long we will sit and wait for those benefactors, it does not matter when we remember the last 5 years as we have been fed or clothed if you have stayed on the first floor or in the attic if you have had gardens and baths bu in cattle and horses if you have gone in a beautiful carriage or in a ridiculous wheelbarrow those things are soon forgotten and leave no trace but It matters a lot if we have had good companions during that time. Almost as much as what we have been doing. Look at the sovereign importance of neighborhood in every association, as well as the right or wrong marriage makes up the home of those who live near you on the same level. social few people at a convenient distance even if they are bad company they and only they will be the companions of your life those who are natives with genius consecrated to you by many oaths of the heart are gradually and totally lost you cannot deal systematically with the excellent part of society and you can bother to bring people together and organize clubs and debating societies to no avail. The truth is that there is something good in us that does not know itself and a habit of Union and competition brings people together and keeps them in At its highest point, life is multiplied by two or 10 if it is spent in wise and fruitful company. The obvious inference is that of a brief and useful deliberation and foresight. When we are going to compare a house and a piece of land, we live with people on other bases. We live with dependent people, not only with the young people whom we teach how much we know and invest with the advantages we have achieved, but also with those who serve us directly and for money, however, the old rules are good, do not allow the link to be Mercenary Although the service is measured by money toilets necessary for someone do not make life difficult for anyone this point takes on new importance in American social life our domestic service is generally an absurd brawl of unreasonable demands on the one hand and elusive on the other to a type witty, they asked him why he came to the city and he replied, "They sent me to get an angel for the kitchen. A lady told me that of her two maids, one had a distracted spirit and the other had a distracted body. Evil increases with the ignorance and hostility of each shipment of immigrant population that invades homes and farms few people discern that the service a man or a maid renders depends on the master or lover that a fresh one is a tutelary spirit in one house and an outcast in another all sensible people are selfish and Nature pulls on every contract to adjust its terms. If your treatment is generous, the other person, even if unfair and selfish, will make an exception in your favor and will be sincere when I asked an iron manufacturer about Slag and the carbon in the railroad iron. He told me you can always get good iron if there is carbon in the iron it is because there was carbon in the pay why multiply these topics and their illustration if they are endless life brings each person their task and whatever the art chosen algebra painting architecture poetry commerce politics everything can be achieved even with miraculous triumphs on the same terms when selecting what you are capable of start at the beginning proceed in order step by step it is as easy to twist iron anchors and braid cannons as it is to braid straw as easy to boil granite like water if you take the appropriate steps where there is failure there is a certain vertigo a Superstition about luck an omitted step that nature does not forgive the happy conditions of life can be understood in the same way their attraction for you is the promise that they are within your reach Our prayers are prophetic, there must be fidelity and there must be adherence. How respectable is the life that clings to its objectives. Youthful aspirations are beautiful. Your theories and life plans are fair and recommendable, but I will endure not one, I’m afraid in that town full of people or alone. one in a thousand and when you blame them for betrayal and remind them of their high resolutions will have forgotten that they made a promise the individuals are Fugitives and at the moment of becoming something else irresponsible the race is great the beautiful ideal but men are hesitant and insecure the Hero is the one who is unshakable focused on the main difference between people It seems to consist of one man submitting to obligations that you can trust and another not. If he does not have a law within him, nothing can bind him. It is inevitable to mention details of virtue and condition and exaggerate the problems, but everything depends in the end on the integrity that It diminishes talent and can do without it. The wisdom is that you cannot be subjugated by your means. Luxurious prices are paid for the position and culture of talent, but for the great interests, superficial success is not important. Man is his attitude. not feats but strength not on designated days but at all hours formidable both in rest and in unmanageable action the populace says with Ju ch if you want to be powerful you appear to be so I prefer to say with the Old prophet you were looking for great things do not look for them or what was said of a Spanish prince The more one takes away from it, the more it seems clote clest cran the secret of culture is to learn that a few issues reappear firmly both in the poverty of the darkest farm and in the midst of metropolitan life and that they are the only ones that must be considered escape from any false bond the courage to be what we are and the love for what is simple and beautiful independence and joyful relationships This is the essential thing together with the desire to serve to add something to the well-being of men eight beauty never there was no form or face as sweet to seit as grace that does not slumber like stone but hovers bright and disappears pursued beauty anywhere in the flame in the storm in the clouds of the air stirred the lake to nourish its gaze with the Verilio of the broken waves threw the pebbles to hear the instantaneous music they gave often resounded a high tone from the oscillating Pole and the middle zone only he could hear the voice of the central Sphere and the wandering one the earth trembled with rhythm the flow and the ebb of the sea sounded epic in dens of passion and wells of sorrow, he saw the strong heros in the fight to illuminate the darkness and break the curse and radiate to the ends of the universe while he gave love his days in Loyal worship, ignoring Lagos as They tried to tempt him in vain The thief ambition and one-eyed gain judged it happier to be dead to die for beauty than to live for bread the spiral tendency of vegetation also infects education our books approach very slowly to the things we most want to know as a boast of our science and how far it is from its objectives our botany is all name no powers poets and bards talk about herbs of grace and healing but what does the Botanist know about the virtues of weeds the geologist reveals the strata and counts them on his fingers But what do you know of the effect on the man who builds his house on them What effect do they have on the race that lives on a granite outcropping and on the inhabitants of the Marl and the alluvium we would think otherwise of the ornithologist If you could tell us what the gregarious birds say when they gather at the autumn council to speak in the trees, the lack of sympathy turns their memory into a clumsy dictionary, the result is a dead bird, the bird is not in ounces and inches but in his relationship with nature and a heron is no more in the skin or the skeleton that they teach me than Washington or Dante in the pile of ashes or the bottle of gases to which their body has been reduced the naturalist gets out of the way in all the distance of his figurative Progress the child had fairer ideas when he looked at the shells on the beach or the flowers in El Prado than the adult with the pride of his nomenclature. Astrology interested us because it linked man to the system instead of a isolated beggar the most distant star felt it and he felt the star no matter how excessive and falsified it turned out to be due to pretenders and merchants the suggestion was true and divine the confession of the broad relationships of the soul and that the climate the century and both remote and nearby natures are parts of its biography chemistry decomposes but does not construct alchemy that attempted to transmute one element into another prolong the life giving power was going in the right direction our science lacks a human side the tenant is more than the house the insects are and spores on which we have wasted so many years are not purposes and when man deploys his powers in order he will lead to the nature with it and will admit the light in all its spaces the human heart interests us more than the pores in the microscope and it cannot even be measured with the pompous figures of the astronomer we are too frivolous and skeptical men consider themselves cheap and vile however a man is an ace of lightning the elements are poured through his system he is the torrent of the torrent and the fire of the fire he feels the antipodes and the Pole like drops of his blood they are an extension of his personality his duties are measured by the instrument that He is a successful and perfect man, he would be at the center of the Copernican system. It is curious that we only believe according to the depth with which we live. We do not believe that heroes can indulge in a game more terrible than the superficial game that entertains us. A deep man believes in Miracles. he waits for them he believes in magic he believes that the speaker will destroy his adversary he believes that the evil eye withers that the blessing of the heart cures that love exalts talent that surpasses all the advantages of a great heart flows incessantly the secret magnetism that causes great events but we appreciate very Humble utilities a prudent husband a good son a voter a citizen and we despise the romance of character and perhaps we count only its monetary value its intelligence its affection like a kind of bill of exchange easily convertible into beautiful rooms paintings music and wine The motive of science was the extension of man everywhere in nature until his hands touched the stars, his eyes saw through the earth, his ears understood the language of the beast and the bird and the sense of the wind through His sympathy would speak with heaven and earth That is not our science geology chemistry astronomy seem to make us wise but they leave us where they found us the invention is Useful for the inventor of dubious help for anyone else the formulas of science are like papers in the wallet worthless except to the owner science in England in America She is jealous of theory hates the name of love and moral purpose there is a revenge for this inhumanity What kind of man does science make the child not attracted says I do not desire to be the same type of man as my professor the collector has dried all the plants in his herbarium But he has lost weight and humor he has put all the snakes and lizards in boats but science has done the same and put man in a bottle our trust It’s the doctor, it’s a kind of despair on our part, the clergy has bronchitis, which doesn’t seem like a certificate of spiritual health. Macrea thought it came from the falsetto of his intonation. playing Look how happy the elks are he said Why shouldn’t the priests have fun staying and fed comfortably in the temples back home he communicated this reflection to the king the next day the king conferred sovereignty on him and told him prince administer this kingdom for 7 days at the end of this period you will be sentenced to death at the end of the seventh day the king asked him why you are so emaciated he responded because of the horror of death The Monarch replied live my son and learn you have stopped having fun and you have said to yourself In 7 days I will be condemned to death. The priests of this temple meditate incessantly on death. How can they dedicate themselves to healthy amusements, but men of science, doctors or clerics, are no more Victims of their search than other men, the miller, the The lawyer and the merchant devoted to their details do not turn out to be men of greater Strength possesses divination, great goals, hospitality of soul and the equanimity that we demand of man or only the reactions of the mill, merchandise and cheating, no object really interests us except man and in man only his superior traits Although we know a law perfect in nature only fascinates us because of its relationship with it or as it has taken root in its spirit. With the birth of Winkelman more than 100 years ago, together with the arid departmental postmortem science, enthusiasm for the study of beauty arose, perhaps certain glimpses theirs can produce a conflagration in that the knowledge of men the knowledge of manners the power of form and our sensitivity to personal influence never turn out to be outdated, they are facts of a history that we study without a book whose teachers and subject are always close to our habit of criticizing is so inveterate that much of our knowledge in this dilection belongs to the chapter of Pathology. The crowd in the streets offers degradations more frequently than the Angels or the redeemers, but they all test the transparency, each spirit builds its house and we can make a shrewd conjecture of the inhabitant for the house in equal measure nature provides us with every sign of grace and goodness the delicious faces of children the beauty of schoolgirls The sweet seriousness of 16 the noble air of the well-born the well-raised children the passionate stories in the looks and manners of youth and early manhood and the varied power in all that well-known company that escorts us through life we know how they drill paralyze provoke inspire and enrich these forms beauty It is the form under which intelligence prefers to study the world the privileges are of beauty because there are many beauties such as that of nature in general that of the face and human form that of manners the brain or the method the moral beauty or the beauty of the soul the ancients believed that a genius or demon took possession at the birth of each mortal to guide him that these geniuses were sometimes seen as a flame of fire partially immersed in the bodies that governed in a bad man it was located in his head in a good one mixed with his substance they thought that The same genius, when his pupil died, entered another newborn and pretended to be the pilot who directed the ship. We darkly recognize the same fact, even if we give it another name. We say that every man has the right to be valued at his best. This is how we measure our friends. We know. who have intervals of foolishness that we do not take care of but wait for the reappearance of the Genius that is safe and beautiful. On the other hand, we all know people who seem tormented and who, despite their ability, never impress us with the air of free action. They also know it and try to see if you have recognized their sad Supplication. We believe that if we could pronounce a word of absolution and disenchant stones, the cloud would roll. The little rider would be discovered and desired and regain his freedom. The remedy never seems too far away since the first step in thought it moves mountains of necessity. Thought is the ball of compressed air that can split the planet and the beauty that certain objects give it that friendly then that extends the thought and warns the prisoner that freedom and power await him the question Beauty takes us away from the surface, we think about the foundation of things, he said, beauty is a manifestation of the secret laws of nature that, except for this appearance, have always been hidden from us. The functioning of this deep instinct causes excitement in great superficial and quite absurd measure regarding works of art that leads armies of vain travelers every year To Italy to Greece to Egypt every man values his acquisitions in the science of beauty above all his possessions the most useful man in the world most useful limited in the service of comfort I would remain dissatisfied As soon as you see beauty, life acquires supreme value the bad side of many philosophers warns me not to try to give a definition of beauty enumerate some of its qualities ascribing beauty to that which is simple, to that which has no superfluous parts, to that which responds exactly to its end, to that which is related to all things, to that which is the mean of many extremes, is the most resistant and ascending quality. We say that love is blind and we see the figure of Cupid drawn with a blindfold on his eyes. Yes, because he does not see what he does not like, but the hunter with the sharpest vision in the universe is love because he finds what he is looking for and only that. mythologist tell us that Vulcan was painted lame and Cupid blind to draw attention to the fact that one was all limbs and the other all eyes in authentic mythology. Love is an immortal child and beauty has it as a guide, we cannot express more profoundly than by saying that beauty is the pilot of the young soul. Beyond their sensual delight the shapes and colors of nature have a new charm for us in the perception that no ornament was added as ornament but each one is a sign of better health or of superior action the elegance of form in the bird or in the beast or in the human figure marks a certain excellence of the structure beauty is but an invitation of what belongs to us a law of botany says that in plants the same virtues follow the same forms a rule of broader application true in the plant true in the loaf of bread It is that in the construction of a factory or organism any real increase in fitness for its purpose is an increase in beauty deserved to be investigated the lesson learned by the study of Greek and Gothic art of ancient and pre-Raphaelite painting all beauty must be organic what exists outside of beautification is deformity it is the solidity of the bones that is finalized in a peach blossom teas the health of the Constitution gives brightness and power to the look the adjustment of the size and the joint of the hollows of the skeleton gives the grace of the profile and the most beautiful grace of the movement the cat and the deer do not They can move or sit without elegance. The dance teacher will never be able to teach a poorly built man to walk well. The dye of the flower comes from its root and the luster of the shell begins with its existence, hence taste in construction rejects the paint and all its resources and show the original seed of the wood reuse the pilasters and columns that do not support anything and it was that The Authentic supports of the house sincerely show themselves the necessary or organic action pleases the contemplator a man who drives a horse to water a farmer who sows the work of the hay reapers in the field The Shipyard that builds a ship the blacksmith in his forge or any useful work is appropriate to the wise eye but if it has been made to be seen it is petty How beautiful They are the ships at sea. But what about the ships in the theater used to create a picturesque effect in George VI’s Virginio Water or the men hired to show off the clothes for a penny an hour What difference between the marching battalion of troops to combat and that of our independent company on vacation in the middle of a military spectacle and a festive and joyful parade of flags, I saw a boy with an old tin saucepan next to a wall, he put it on top of a stick and made it turn and describe the most elegant curves that can be imagined, diverting attention from the decorative procession with this unusual beauty, let’s see another text by the mythologists that Venus was born from the foam of the sea. We are not interested in what is rigid or limited but only what flows with the life what is found in the act or trance of reaching something that is beyond the pleasure that a palace or a temple provides to the gaze consists of the order and method that has been communicated to the stones so that they speak and refer to their geometry and become tender or sublime with expression beauty is the moment of transition as if a form were about to flow into other forms all fixation accumulation or concentration on a feature a long nose a pointed chin a hump is the reverse of fluidity and it is already deformed, as is the symmetry of any form if the form can move we seek a more excellent symmetry the interruption of balance stimulates the desire in the eye to restore symmetry and attend to the steps by which it is achieved That is the charm of running waters the waves of the sea the flight of birds and the locomotion of animals That is the theory of dance to continually recover in changes the balance lost not by abrupt and angular movements but by gradual and curved people with experience in matters of taste have told me that fashions follow a law of gradation and are never arbitrary the new mode is always a step forward in the same direction as the Old one a cultivated gaze is prepared for a new fashion and predicts it this fact suggests the reason for the errors and offenses in our modes in music when you hear a disagreement it is necessary suspend the ear for one or two intermediate notes until the next chord many good experiments born of good sense and destined to succeed fail only because they are offensively sudden I suppose that the Parisian milliner who dresses the world from her imperious dressing table will know How to reconcile the blume suit with the gaze of humanity and make it triumph over Punch itself by interposing the just gradations. I do not have to say how much the same law encompasses and how much can be expected from its effect. What is harshly claimed by progressive groups can easily be granted without hesitation if it is observed This rule So you can imagine the circumstances in which a woman comes to speak, vote, argue, legislate and drive a car in the most natural way in the world, only if it happens gradually, to this current or flow belongs the beauty that every circular movement has, such as the circulation of the waters the circulation of blood the periodic movement of the planets the annual surge of vegetation and the action and reaction of nature if we continue forward this demand in our thinking for a progressive action becomes the argument for immortality one more text of the mythologist serves the same purpose beauty rides a lion beauty Rests in needs the line of beauty is the result of perfect economy the cell of the bee is built with the angle that provides the greatest strength with the least wax The bone or the cannon of birds give the greatest axillary power with the least weight. It is the purge of the superfine, said Michelangelo. In natural structures, a single particle cannot be dispensed with. There is a compelling reason in the use of the plant for every novelty. of color or shape our art saves material with a more skillful arrangement and achieves beauty by assuming every superfluous ounce that can be dispensed with on a wall and maintaining its strength in the poetry of the columns in Rhetoric this art of omission is a secret main power and in general the test of a superior culture consists in saying the most important things in the simplest way truthfulness first and foremost and forever laugh at Bo elbay in all designs the art lies in making the object prominent But there is an art Before choosing the objects that are prominent, Fine Arts have nothing casual but arise from the instinct of the nations that created them. Beauty is the quality that allows it to last. In a house that I know, I observed that a block of whale sperm had occupied a place next to yearbooks and shelves for 20 years for no other reason than the caulk had shaped it into a rabbit I guess it could stay there another 100 years Let an artist scribble a few lines or figures on the back of a letter and that piece of paper will be rescued from danger It will be put in a framed and admired portfolio and in proportion to the beauty of the lines drawn it will be kept for centuries Bun makes a copy of his verses sends them to a newspaper and the human race takes care that they do not They must perish just as the sound of the flute reaches further than that of the You can see that a beautiful form affects the fantasy of men and is copied and reproduced without end. How many copies are there of the Apollo of Belvedere of Venus of Sique of the warwick glass The Parthenon and the Temple of Besta are moving objects for everyone in our cities an ugly building is isolated and not repeated but a beautiful building is copied and improved so that masons and carpenters work to repeat and observe the pleasing forms while the ugly ones fade away the happiness of design in art or works of nature are shadows or precursors of the beauty that reaches its perfection in the human form, men are its lovers, wherever it goes, it creates joy and hilarity and everything is permitted, it reaches its culmination in the woman, Eve, the Mohammedans say, God gave her two thirds of all beauty, a beautiful woman is a practical poet who tames her wild companion and sows tenderness, hope and eloquence. In those who approach them, some conditional favors are associated since a certain serenity is essential, but we love their superior features and disapproval nature wants a woman to attract a man and yet she often molds devious Sarcasm that seems to say yes I want to attract but to attract a better man than the one I have seen so far the 15th century French memoirs celebrate the name of pauline de vigere an accomplished and virtuous maiden who so inflamed the enthusiasm of her contemporaries with her charming appearance that the citizens of her hometown of Tuluz obtained permission from the Civil authorities for her to appear publicly on the balcony at least twice a week and Tan As soon as she appeared, the crowd risked their lives to see her. In England in the last century, the fame of the Ganing Elizabeth married the Duke of Hamen and Mary with The Earl of Coventry valpo tells him the contest was so great that when The Duchess of Hamen was presented at court on Friday, even the noble crowd in the hall climbed onto the chairs and tables at the door, crowds gathered to see them take their seats and people came early to get the quality in the theaters when it was known. sure that they were going to be there, such a crowd gathered to see the Duchess of Hamilton, it says elsewhere that 700 people remained all night in and around an inn in Georg shir in order to see her ascend to her chair. post the next morning why we should console ourselves with the fame of Helen of Argos or Corina or Pauline of Tuluz or the Duchess of Hamilton we all know this magic very well or we guess it nothing will read as much to weak eyes as looking at other beautiful Women maintain a certain relationship with the beautiful nature that surrounds us and young lovers mix their shape with the moon and the stars with the forests and the waters and with the pomp of summer. They cure us of our clumsiness with their words and looks. We observe their influence. intellectual in the most serious student they refine and clarify their mind they teach them to apply a pleasant method to what is dry and difficult we speak to them and we want them to listen to us we fear tiring them out and we acquire a facility of expression that conversation turns into a habit of style That beauty is the normal state is demonstrated by the perpetual effort of nature to achieve it. Mirabeau had an ugly face on a beautiful bearing. Every day we see faces that are well made but that have been damaged in the mold, a proof that we all have the right to the beauty that we would have been beautiful if our ancestors had observed the laws as happens with the Lydians and the roses but our bodies do not suit us but caricature and satirize short legs that force short and prim steps are a kind of insult personal and contumelia for its owner the long legs put him in turn at a perpetual disadvantage, forcing him to bow to the general level of humanity Martial ridicules a gentleman of his time whose face resembled that of a swimmer underwater saadi describes a master of school so ugly and cantankerous that the fact of seeing him disturb the Ecstasy of the most orthodox faces are rarely sincere with respect to an ideal type but are the record in sculpture of a thousand anecdotes of caprice and Mania. Portrait painters say that the Most faces and shapes are irular and asymmetrical They have one blue eye and one gray one The nose is not straight One shoulder is higher than the other The hair is unevenly distributed etc. Man is both physically and metaphysically a thing of twists and patches borrowed partly from good and bad ancestors and a disaster from the beginning among the Greeks it was believed that a beautiful person revealed by this sign a secret favor of the immortal gods we can forgive the pride in a woman who possesses such a figure so that wherever she is she either moves or casts a shadow on the wall or sits to pose in front of the artist confers a favor on the world however it is not beauty that inspires the deepest passion beauty without grace is the hook without the bait beauty without expression tires the abat menaje said of the president levay yeul who served only to pose in his portrait a Greek epigram suggests that the strength of love is not shown by courting beauty but when a similar desire is awakened for someone less favored the petulant old gentlemen who have come to suffer intolerable fatigue of pretty people or people who have seen flowers cut in a certain profusion or who know that after the trouble to make a suit to measure the slightest defect in the feeling empties it of beauty affirm that the secret of ugliness does not consist in irregularity but in lack of interest we love all forms, no matter how ugly they may be, in which great qualities shine if Mastery, eloquence, art or invention exist in the most deformed person all accidents that generally displease please and raise esteem and astonishment The Great Orator was a emaciated and insignificant person but all brains Cardinal Red said of John with the physiognomy of an ox he had the insight of an eagle of Nuten’s friend it was said that of all the men in England he was the greatest and "I promised the least since I am so ugly," said du Geskin, "it is better for me to be bold. Sir Thop Sedne, the charm of humanity, according to van Johnsen, he was not a man with a pleasant appearance since his face was full of pimples and denoted hypertension. Those who have ruled the destinies. humans as planets for thousands of years were not handsome people if a man can turn a small city into a great kingdom he can make bread cheaper he can irrigate deserts he can join oceans with canals he can subdue currents he can organize victories he can guide the opinions of humanity can increase knowledge and it does not matter if his nose is parallel to his spine as it should be or if he has no nose, if his legs are straight or if they have been amputated his deformities will be considered altogether ornamental and advantageous that is the triumph of expression that degrades the beauty that enchants us with a power so subtle, friendly and intoxicating that it makes the admired people tasteless and unbearable. The thought of spending our lives with them there are faces of such fluid expression so red and wrinkled by the game of thought that we barely discover its mere features when the delicious beauty of the lineaments loses its power it is because a more delicious beauty has appeared an inner and lasting form has unfolded yet beauty rides its Lion as before however beauty made the world the lives of the If a man can sculpt a head on a stone post in such a way that it draws and keeps the crowd around it daily by its grace, its kindness and inscrutable meaning. If a man can build a simple house with such symmetry as to make the beautiful Palaces look cheap and vulgar, then he obtains Nature, the advantage of having all its powers serve it, makes use of prayed geometry instead of expense, a mountain in search of its source, makes the sun and the moon seem only the decoration of its state, that is the legitimate domain of nature. beauty the radiation of the human form although sometimes surprising is just a burst of beauty for a few years or a few months in the perfection of youth which in most cases falls rapidly but we remain its lovers by simply transferring our interest to the inner Excellence is not only admirable in admirable and outstanding talents but also in the world of manners it is still to be noticed The sovereign attribute things are pretty graceful rich elegant attractive but if they do not speak to the imagination they are not beautiful This is the reason why beauty still escapes analysis it has not yet been possessed nor can be handled proclos says beauty nothing in the light of the forms in reality it is not in the form but in the spirit instantly abandons the possession and flees to an object on the Horizon If I could put my hand on the polar star it would be so beautiful The sea is charming but when we bathe in the beauty it abandons the nearby waters because the imagination and the senses cannot be satisfied at the same time bsport rightly spoke of a light that was never in the sea or the land and he meant that the the observer supplied the Welsh bard warned the women of his country that half of their charms will disappear with Cat bon the new virtue that constitutes a beautiful thing is a certain cosmic quality or a power to suggest the relationship with the entire world and elevate the object from its painful individuality every natural feature the sea the sky the rainbow the flowers the musical tone has in itself something that is not private but universal speaks of that central benefit that is the soul of nature and therefore is beautiful in men and women Chosen, I discover something in the form, speech and manners that is not part of their person and family but of a Catholic and spiritual human character that makes us love them as we love heaven. They have a breadth of suggestion and their face and manners carry a certain greatness like time. and Justice The feat of the imagination consists of Showing the convertibility of one thing into another thing facts that before never deviated from strict common sense suddenly seem like Eleusinian mysteries my boots the chair and the candlestick are fairies in disguise meteors and constellations all the facts of nature are names of intelligence And they constitute the grammar of eternal language every word has a double triple or hundredfold use and meaning How the stove and the pepper pot have a false bottom have mercy good shoemaker I didn’t know you were a Jeweler the straw and The dust begins to shine and is clothed in immortality. There is a joy in perceiving the representative or symbolic character of a fact that no mere fact or event can provide. There are no more memorable days in life than those that vibrate with a certain touch of the imagination. poets succeed in adorning their loved ones with the remains of the landscape The flowers of the garden the gems the rainbows the blush of the morning and the stars of the night since all beauty indicates identity and everything that the sea and the sky do not express the day and night is partly forbidden and wrong in every beautiful object there is something immeasurable and divine both in the form limited by the contours like the mountains on the Horizon and in the tones of music or the depths of space the polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies when the second vision of the mind opens, one color or shape or gesture and then another acquire a certain acuity as if an inner ray had been emitted that revealed the deep properties in the structure of things. We do not know the laws of this translation nor because a feature or gesture enchants because a word or syllable intoxicates But the fact is so familiar that the beautiful touch of the look or a grace of manners or a phrase of poetry puts wings on our shoulders as if the divinity at the approaching will clear mountains of obstacles And will deign to draw a truer line that we recognize that is the superior force of beauty superba formae that the poet Praises under a temperate and precise profile the immeasurable and divine the beauty that hides all wisdom and power in its sky serene, all elevated beauty contains a moral element and I consider ancient sculpture as ethical as Mark Antony, beauty is always in proportion to the depth of thought rude and dark natures, no matter how decorated, seem like an impure chaos, but character gives esend to youth and reverence to gray hair and wrinkled skin, we cannot but obey a worshiper of the truth and the hair of the woman who has shared With us the moral feeling seems sublime to us, there is therefore an ascending scale of culture from the first pleasant sensation that a brilliant Gem or a scarlet stain provides to the eye through beautiful contours and details of the landscape of the features of the form and face. signs and proofs of thought and character in manners to the ineffable mysteries of intelligence wherever we begin thither our steps tend an ascent from the joy of the horse with its harness to the perception of nuten so that the globe in the What we are walking on is just a bigger apple falling from a bigger tree until Plato’s perception that the globe and the universe are rude and primitive expressions of a dissolving unity the first step on a ladder towards the Temple of the Spirit nine illusions flow waves flow hateful infaust adored the waves of mutation there is no anchor neither sleep nor death live who seems to die the house where you were born friends of your spring the old man and the maiden the desire of the day and its reward fade away everyone flees to fables they cannot be tied Look for them at the stars for the treacherous marbles knowing those Stars the eternal stars are also fugitive and emulate vaulted The dazzling Lightning and The flight of the firefly When I returned in the circulation of the wave contemplating the dim light the wild dissipation and now Without the effort to change and flow, the gas becomes Solid and the ghosts and nothingness become things again and an endless mess becomes the law and the world. Then you will know that in the swift confusion on the back of Proteus he rode towards power and endurance. Some years ago in the company of a pleasant group I spent a long summer day exploring the cave of [ __ ] in Kentucky through spacious Galleries that provided a solid foundation of manip mosterín [Music] deep recesses visited by tourists a Niche or Grotto formed by a single stalactite called As I believe the senator of Serena I lost the light of a day I saw high domes and unfathomable wells I heard the voice of invisible cataracts I rowed three quarters of a mile down the deep echo river whose waters are populated with blind fish I crossed the currents of the Lethe and the styx I filled with music and shots the eos of the disturbing galleries days I contemplated all kinds of stalagmites and stalactites in the sculpted and worn chambers icicles random flowers acanthus vines and mundillos we shot flares In the vaults and edges of the cathedrals and We examine the masterpieces that the four engineers, combined with water, limestone, gravitation and time, were able to forge in the darkness the mysteries and the setting of the Cave had the same dignity that belongs to all natural objects and that shames beautiful things with the ones we compared, I observed in particular the mimetic habit with which nature hums its old melodies on new instruments, making the night imitate the day and chemistry mimics the vegetation. Then I noticed and still remember well that the best thing the cave had What to offer was an illusion. When we arrived at the so-called chamber of the Star, the guide took away our flashlights and once they were off or hidden, when I looked up, I seemed to see the night sky filled with bright stars to varying degrees above us and what seemed like be a shining comet among them the group was seized with amazement and pleasure the musician friends sang with great feeling a beautiful song There are stars in the clear sky etc. and I sat on the rocky ground to enjoy La Serena stamps certain crystal particles on the high black ceiling that reflected the light of a half-hidden lantern produced that magnificent effect. I admit that I did not like the cave as much as it spared its sublime features with this theatrical effect but I have had similar experiences before and after that and we should be happy to be grateful without analyze with too much curiosity such occasions the clouds The glories of sunrise and sunset the rainbow and the northern lights are not so spherical As we believed when we were children and the role that our organization plays in it It is too great the senses interfere everywhere and mix their own structure with what they record once we believed that the earth was flat and static when admiring the sunset we did not deduce the coordinating and pictorial circular power of the eye the same inference of our organization creates most of our pleasure and pain the first mistake is the belief that the circumstance confers the enjoyment that we confer on the circumstance life is an Ecstasy life is sweet as nitrous oxide the fisherman Who fishes all day in the cold pond the switchman at the intersection of the tracks the farmer in the field the black man in the rice field the whipper on the street The Hunter in the forest the lawyer with the Jury the Beauty at the dance everyone ascribes to their occupation the pleasure that they themselves give health and appetite imparts sweetness to the sugar the bread and the flesh we imagine that our civilization has come far but we still return to our primers we live by our imagination our admiration and our feelings the child who walks among piles of illusions does not like to be disturbed how pleasant his fantasy is for the boy In what hero he becomes when he nourishes himself from his Heroes What a great debt he owes to his imaginative books he has no better friend or influence than Scott Shakespeare Plutarch and Homer man lives with other objects But who will dare to affirm that they are more real even the prose of The street is full of refractions in the life of the darkest councilman. Fantasy enters into the details and colors them with a pink, imitates the appearance and actions of the people he admires and rises in his own eyes before paying a debt to the rich man who wishes the poor man the greeting and compliment of a leader of the state or society weighs what he says Maybe that is why he is never close to himself but in the end he dies satisfied by the entertainment of his eyes and his fantasy the world turns the noise of life never stops in London in Paris in Boston in San Francisco the carnival and the masquerade are in full swing no one takes off their costume it would be impertinent to interrupt the units the fictions of the play the chapter on Fascination is very long paints in a big way, no God is the painter and we rightly accuse the critic who destroys too many illusions, society does not love those who unmask it with Ingenuity although with some bitterness he said [Music] of men are Victims of illusion in all stages of life children young adults elderly everyone gets carried away by one or another trinket yogan the Goddess of illusion proteus or momus or the hallucination of gilfi because power has many names they are stronger than the titans stronger than Apollo few have surprised the gods or their secret discovered life is a succession of lessons that must be lived to be understood everything is a riddle and the key to a riddle is another riddle There are as many pillows of illusion as there are flakes in a snowstorm we wake up from a dream in another dream the toys are undoubtedly and are graded in refinement according to the quality of the deception the intellectual requires a beautiful bait the drunks are easily entertained everyone is drugged with their own Frenzy and the parade marches at all hours with music flags and insignia in the midst of the joyful troop that gives in to the commotion, from time to time a sad-looking boy appears whose eyes lack the necessary refractions to invest the spectacle with its due Glory and who suffers from the tendency to reverse the brilliant miselania of fruits and flowers At its root, science is a search for identity and the scientific whim lurks around every corner at the state fair. A friend of mine complained that all the fancy pears in our orchards seemed to have been selected by someone with a certain mania. type of pear and of cultivating it that had that aroma. They were all the same. I remember another young man’s displeasure with the confectioners because when Having chosen the best candy in the store, in all that variety of candy, he could only find three flavors or two, and then the pears and the cakes are good for a reason, and if someone, unfortunately, has too keen eyesight or smell, why should they throw them away? losing the consolation they bring to others I met a comedian who during a long trip He had one or two witticisms impressed his companions by stating that the attributes of God were two Power and rebellion and that the duty of every pious man was to preserve the comedy I have also met gentlemen with great interests in the community but with an icy sympathy university rectors governors and senators determined to support abstinence campaigns and to collaborate with biblical societies, missions and peacemakers and to shout at the good dog chit we should not carry courtesy too far but we all have friendly impulses In that direction when the boys ask permission to enter my garden and pick the chestnuts I admit that I enter the game of nature and pretend to give them permission reluctantly with the fear that they will instantly discover the imposture of jest, this tenderness is unnecessary, the enchantments are deep-rooted and cover his naked and naked young life. The fate of the children in a hovel that I saw yesterday was even to tears; however, they did not stop surrounding him with an ornate romance Like children of the happier fortune and they spoke of the beloved house where they had spent so many joyful hours this covering of a hovel is the custom of the countryside women more than anyone are the element and the kingdom of illusion fascinated fascinate Come through colored who would dare If they could to pluck the cises the scenic effects and the ceremonies by which they live too pathetic too worthy of pity is the religion of affection and its atmosphere is always subject to the midje we must not be blamed excessively for our bad marriages we live among hallucinations And that trap special has been put in place to get our feet stuck and we all get stuck sooner or later but The Powerful Mother who has been so naughty with us as if she felt that she owed us a certain compensation insinuates into the Pandora’s box of marriage certain serious and notable benefits and great benefits. joys we find delight in the beauty and happiness of children with which our hearts cannot fit in our bodies in the worst provided relationships there is always a certain mixture of the authentic marriage the Irishman and his wife only maintained a certain amount of mutual respect and affable observation and at the same time take care of each other they learned something and would have gotten along better if they had had to start over we like to point out this or that privileged crazy person as if there were exceptions it is not the schoolboy in his library I who all my life have heard numerous speeches and debates read poems and books talked with many geniuses I am still a victim of any new page and madu or Hugo or mosad or another invent a new style or mythology I figure that the world will be Brave and fair if it dresses in the colors in which there were no I thought at the same time that I will smear myself with the new paint but it won’t last. It’s like the glue that the bonero sells at home. It repairs broken ceramics with it, but you won’t be able to buy a portion that will last when the men who make themselves noticed in the store are gone. The world takes advantage of everything in their Constitution that they know how to use but we are never particularly interested in them unless they lift the corner of the curtain or betray in an insignificant way their insight into what lies behind it. The charm of practical men is that outside of In their practical condition there is a certain poetry and play as if they led the good horse of Power by the reins and preferred to walk although they can ride wildly. Bonaparte was intellectual like Caesar and the best soldiers, ship captains and drivers show kindness when they are off duty if it is admitted. kindly that there are illusions who will say that they are not their thing, stigmatizing the iron types who cannot separate themselves from themselves as possessed by the dragon or struck by the Lightning and the crazy ones aside regardless of the powers with which they are endowed as our teaching advances Through emblems and indirect relationships, it is good to know that there is a fixed scale and hierarchy in ghosts. We start from the bottom with crude masks and rise with the most beautiful and subtle ones. Columbus said that the red-skinned men knew an herb that healed. fatigue but he judged the illusion of reaching the indies from the east more reassuring for his noble spirit that any tobacco is not our faith in the impenetrability of matter more sedating than narcotics you play with straw dolls balls bows horses and guns states and policies But there are more excellent games before you, time is not a pretty toy, life will show you masks worthy of all your carnivals, the distant mountain must come to you, the subtle Stardust and the nebulous spot of Orion, the portentous year of mass and alc. they must descend and become familiar with your thinking what will happen if you find out that the game and the playing field of this pompous story are radiations of yourselves and that the sun borrows its rays what terrible questions are we learning to ask the first men believed in magic by which temples, cities and men were swallowed without leaving a trace, we approach the secret of a magic that sweeps from the minds of men all vestiges of theism and the beliefs that they and their fathers held with which they were formed, there are deceptions of the senses deceptions of the passions and beneficial structural illusions of feeling and intelligence, there is the illusion of love that attributes to the loved person when that person shares with the family, sex, age or condition, not with the human spirit itself, all this is what the lover loves. and Ana Maudo credits it if someone had always been locked in a tower with a window through which he would see the face of the sky and the earth, he would imagine that all the wonders he contemplated belonged to the window, there is the illusion of time that is very profound Who has disposed of it or has come to the conviction that what appears to be the succession of thought is only the distribution of sets in causal series. Intelligence sees that each atom carries the whole of nature, as we open ourselves to the omnipotence that in the endless efforts and ascents the metamorphosis is complete so that the soul does not know itself in its own act when it is finished there is the illusion that you will deceive the chosen one there is the illusion that you will deceive the maker of the Miracle although he does his body denies that he does it Although the world exists through thought, thought becomes discouraged in the presence of the world one after another we accept the mental laws [Music] [Music] but the incessant flow and Ascension also reach them and the thought that yesterday was a purpose s today in the face of a broader generalization with such volatile elements to work no wonder that our estimates are weak and floating we must work and affirm but we have no idea of the value of what we say or do now the cloud is as big as your hand and then it covers the county the story of Thor who began to pour the horn of drink into azgar and to fight with the old woman and to run with the swift lock and who suddenly discovered that he had drunk the sea he had fought with time and competed with thought describes us To us, when among apparent trivialities we contend with the supreme energies of nature, we imagine that we have fallen into bad company and a destitute state, vulgar debts, bills for shoes, broken glass, to pay for pots, to buy meat, sugar, milk and coal entrusted to gods and I will show you who I am does not say The good sky works and plows mend your old hats and coats weave a shoelace later the great affairs will come and the best wine everything is a ghost and if we weave a yard of ribbon with all humility as well as Later we will see that it was not cotton ribbon but that it formed a galaxy and that the thread was time and nature. We cannot write the order of the variable winds. How will we discover the law of our changing moods and susceptibility, however they differ like everything and nothing in place of yesterday’s firmament that our gaze demanded Today there is an eggshell that cages us we cannot even see what or where the stars of our destiny are day by day the capital facts of human life are suddenly hidden from our eyes the fog It rolls up and reveals them and we think of the good weather gone that could have been saved if we had had a hint of these things. A sudden slope of the road shows us the mountain system and the peaks that have been so close to us all year but outside of us. We, despite these alternations, do not lack order and we are part of our variable fortune. If life seems like a succession of dreams, however, poetic justice also occurs in dreams. The visions of good men are good. It is the undisciplined will that is whipped. apollos bad thoughts and bad fortune when we break the laws we lose our grip on central reality like sick people in a hospital we change from one bed to another from one madness to another and it can’t mean much what happens to those shipwrecked pitiful creatures stupid transported comas From one bed to another, from the nothingness of life to the nothingness of death, in this kingdom of illusions we grope busily in search of support and foundation, but there is no other than a strict and faithful domestic treatment that closes the door to duplicity. or illusion, whatever games are played with us, we must not play with ourselves but try in our intimacy with the ultimate honesty and truth. I consider the simple and childish virtues of truthfulness and honesty as the root of how much is Sublime in the character say what you think be as you are pay all your debts I prefer to be judged healthy and solvent and for my word to be as good as my obligation And to be what cannot be stained or dissipated or undermined to the entire ecle of the universe this reality is the foundation of friendship, religion, poetry and art at the top or at the bottom of all illusions, I place the scam that still leads us to work and live for appearances despite our conviction in healthy hours that what we really are It doesn’t work with friends with Strangers and with ice cream or fortune. We could think from the talk of men that wealth and poverty were an important issue. Our civilization essentially respects it, but the Indians do not believe that the white man with his master Always working, afraid of the heat and cold and keeping shelter from them, the permanent interest of every man consists in never being in a false position but in having the weight of nature that supports him in that he makes wealth and poverty a garment. thick or fine and our life, the life of all of us is identical, we continually transcend old age and taste the true flavor of existence as in our work we only differ in manipulation but we express the same laws or in our thinking that does not wear silk or eat frozen we see God face to face in every moment and we know the taste of nature the ancient Greek philosophers Heraclitus and Xenophanes measured their strength with the problem of identity Diogenes of Apollonia said that unless atoms were made of a single matter they would never They could mix and act with each other. The Hindus in their sacred scriptures express the most vivid feeling of both essential identity and variety, which they consider an illusion. The notions I am and this is mine that influence humanity are nothing but deceptions. of the mother of the world or lord of all creatures dispels the vanity of knowledge that comes from ignorance and maintains that the beatitude of man consists in being freed from fascination the intellect is stimulated by the affirmation of truth in a trope and the desire for the covering of the laws of life with illusions, but the unities of truth and righteousness are not broken by disguise, nor is it necessary that there be any confusion in them in a life populated with many roles and actors on the stage of the Nations or in the darkest chosa de meno California, they offer the same choices to each newcomer who, according to their choice fixes its fortune in absolute nature it would be difficult to add more intellectual and moral philosophy to that which the Persians have deposited in this sentence you are deceived even if you are the wisest of the wise be the jester of virtue not of vice you have not ar nor anarchy in the universe everything is system and gradation each God is sitting there in his sphere The young mortal enters the hall of the firmament There he is alone with them and they pour blessings and gifts into him and draw him to their throne instantly incessant storms fall of snow and illusions he imagines that he is part of a vast crowd that swarms along this path and the one whose movement and action he must obey imagines himself as a poor insignificant orphan, the crazy crowd advances here and there and furiously orders that this be done now and then that who will resist his will and think or act for himself at every moment new changes occur and new avalanches of disappointment that disconcert and distract him when later the air clears for a moment and the cloud rises slightly there are still gods sitting at around them on his throne and He continues with them alone
