Talk:Galileo Galilei

(Sourced)
Quotes that are bandied around from one book to another, without any indication of a true primary source, can be commmon. And if there is, in fact, any true source remains unestablished. For example, the following: "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." can be found in a large number of Google hits. But the source "As quoted in Angels in the workplace : stories and inspirations for creating a new world of work (1999) by Melissa Giovagnoli" does not make it a valid quote by Galileo. To me, any quote that begins something like "As Galileo once said" just means that author has been too lazy to verify it. This quote, and all those with similar uncited sources should be put under Unsourced until a respected biography is quoted that cites where it came from.

(Vital stats)
I know he was smart but surely he didn't steadily go back in time since he was born? Those birth dates (15 February 1564 - 8 January 1642) have to be wrong. He was over -20 years young when he died according to that.
 * I don't see what the problem is, there. Those dates put him at age 78 at the time of his death. —LrdChaos 05:10, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Your both wrong, he was 77 years old at the time of his death, he hadn't reached his birthday yet that year. And if those dtes are wrong, then wouldn't he be -77, this isn't in the BC's, he's not that old.  Its easy to see this if you just apply yourself to the problem.
 * You're*

(Heaven & the heavens)
Regarding one of the quotes in the 'unsourced' section.

In the book I am currently reading (which isn't necessarily the authority on the subject of galileo) it states that when galileo said " The bible teaches us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go" he was quoting Cardinal Baronius.

I believe it should be removed, any feedback on that? Rachel Ayres 05:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

It should not be removed, because Galileo was quoting the Cardinal from what was believed to have been a private conversation between the two men. Cardinal Baronius is not believed to have said this publicly. It is of significance that Galileo used the quote in a letter to The Grand Duchess Christina in defense of himself.

 * True. Furthermore the quote, as referenced to the Fordham source was wrong.  The variant (wrong though it is) is now a variant. The actual quote FROM THE CITATION 21st paragraph at the end, (http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/galileo-tuscany.asp)if you would actually read it, says "Ghost" and "heaven goes".  To Galileo heaven was a singular place, not plural.  Heavens, the plural, is a more recent variation, not of Galileo's origin.

(Sorry about the bad english) - I've found strange that a sentence said by an italian man in the 17th century would make a pun (in some way) in english. When I started to look around i've found that this quote actually is translated as a joke in almost any language (I'm brazilian and speak some other languages, by the way), even in italian. That would make sense, when you think about it. The translation always try to keep the full intention of the original sentences. The sad thing, however, is that this is actually not what Galileo said in that letter. I'm not saying that Galileo did not have a sense of humor. Apparently he did - and the original phrase shows it. He wrote: "“La Bibbia ci insegna la via per andare in cielo, non come il cielo sia fatto". The problem of this quote is the word for "heaven", "cielo". In latin languages the word for "sky" can also mean "heaven" ("cielo" in spanish and italian, "céu" in portuguese, "ciel" in french and so on), despite the fact that each one of those also have a word for heaven (paradiso, paraíso, paradis). The pure translation for the quote

would be "The Bible teaches us the path to go to heaven, not how the sky is made.". That was obvioisly a rude provocation and is, in fact, funny on the original. It appears, however, that an italian historian changed the phrase some years ago - and it stood forever.

(Measurement)
In case anyone feels obliged to add the quote "Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so", there is evidence that this quote was not actually his. See the journal paper "Der messende Luchs" by Andreas Kleinert; NTM Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, Technik und Medizin, Vol. 17, No. 2. (1 May 2009), pp. 199-206.

(Miracles)
Regarding one of the quotes in the "unsourced" section:

"Surely, God could have caused birds to fly with their bones made of solid gold, with their veins full of quicksilver, with their flesh heavier than lead, and with their wings exceedingly small. He did not, and that ought to show something. It is only in order to shield your ignorance that you put the Lord at every turn to the refuge of a miracle." And this is then referenced to: Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems

I have tried to find this quotation in this source, or elsewhere in Galileo's writings, and I have, from time to time, inquired about it. But I haven't been able to find it. I wish that somebody quotable had said it, whether Galileo or somebody else. Please, can someone get a reliable citation for it? It is often repeated, so perhaps it should be retained with a cautionary statement. TomS TDotO 17:32, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

 * What may have been the source for many people's belief that Galileo said this has been located, Giorgio de Santillana's The Crime of Galileo, but we still don't have a good citation directly to Galileo for it. I've tried reading and searching through Galileo's Dialogue without success, and despite all due respect for de Santillana's scholarship, I have to conclude that he made a mistake in attributing it to Galileo's Dialogue - either some other work of Galileo, or some other author. Of course, I do not discount the possibility that I made a mistake. I'll wait another reasonable interval, but I see no reason not to warn the reader that this is not a verified quotation of Galileo without a direct and full citation. TomS TDotO 18:08, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

 * An editor said "I don't see any reason to doubt that this is in the Dialogue." Please give a good citation for where it appears in the Dialogue, if it does. If not, then the lack of a good citation is reason to doubt that it is in the Dialogue. TomS TDotO 12:48, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

As of 8 May 2020, the page cites this quotation as "Notes in a copy of Jean-Baptiste Morin's "Famous and ancient problems of the earth's motion or rest, yet to be solved" (published 1631), as quoted in The Crime of Galileo (1976) by Giorgio De Santillana, p. 167". I think this is essentially correct, but I am not sure about the translation of the end of the quotation.

As said above, The Crime of Galileo (1955), p. 167, seems to be the source for this translation of the quotation and the source for the widely found claim that it is in the Dialogue (e.g. Simon Singh's Big Bang (2004), which introduces the quotation with "the Pope must have been humiliated by Salviati's sarcastic response to Simplicio in the Dialogue".). I also cannot find it in the Dialogue. I believe the original Italian is below (from Note per il Morino, in Antonio Favaro's Le opere di Galileo Galilei, volume 7, p. 566; I have also found the passage in this presentation and this book):

"Iddio poteva far volare gli uccelli con le ossa d’oro massiccio, con le vene piene d’argento vivo, con la carne grave più del piombo e con ale piccolissime e gravi, e così avrebbe [arebbe, harebbe] maggiormente mostrata la Sua potenza."

"(my attempted literal translation) God was able to make the birds fly with their bones of solid gold, with their veins full of quicksilver, with their flesh heavier than lead and with very small and heavy wings, and thus he would have more shown His power."

What I am not sure about is this part: "It is only in order to shield your ignorance that you put the Lord at every turn to the refuge of a miracle." Does anyone know where this comes from? I cannot find something like it in the Opere around the quoted passage, but I may have missed something or mistranslated. --Thrasymedes (talk) 14:04, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Confession to the inquisition
This one is circulating on the web, is it a real quote?

"I, Galileo… do swear that I have always believed, do now believe and with God's aid shall believe hereafter, that all that which is taught and preached by the … church. I must wholly forsake the false opinion that the sun is the center of the world and moves not, and that the earth is not the center of the world and moves…"

Metaphor for God
Here's a quote I like, that's attributed to Galileo, but I have no idea if it's a real quote. It sounds like something he might say. It may be from his "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems." Does anybody know: The Sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a vine of grapes like it had nothing else to do in the world. —23:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Suggested change re: Eppur si muove
Currently, the "Eppur si muove" quote appears in a misattributed section and appears as follows:

Misattributed
 * Eppur si muove.
 * "And yet it moves" or "but it moves" is a comment he is alleged to have made in regard to the Earth after his recantation before the Inquisition. Giuseppe Baretti was apparently the first person to record the story. Noted as a misattribution in Paul F. Boller, John George, They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, and Misleading Attributions (1990), p. 30.

According to the final paragraph of the Wikipedia article Eppur si muove, the legend that Galileo said this was circulating even back when Galileo was still around. It could be argued that, had Galileo actually uttered these words, people would have been disinclined to write about it for fear of the Inquisition, and that that's why the story was only spread by word of mouth for the first 124 years. The fact that the legend was already alive in Galileo's own day is an indication that he might have said it. This, I suggest we change that section to appear like this:

Disputed
 * Eppur si muove.
 * "And yet it moves" or "still it moves" is a comment he is alleged to have made in regard to the Earth after his recantation before the Inquisition. Giuseppe Baretti was apparently the first person to record the story. Noted as a misattribution in Paul F. Boller, John George, They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, and Misleading Attributions (1990), p. 30.

Sincerely, allixpeeke (talk) 16:26, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.

Cannot teach quote attribution date
I have been tracing this quote, and I've gone a bit further back than what is currently listed:

E. Quinet, The Roman Church and Modern Society, ed. and trans. C. Edwards Lester (New York, 1845), p. 62, https://books.google.com/books?id=naJcAAAAcAAJ.

The quote is "One cannot teach another person the truth, ... one can only help him to find it in himself."

Eugene S. Wilson

Eugene S. "Bill" Wilson (1905 – February 24, 1981) was Dean of Admission at Amherst College and president of the Association of College Admissions Counselors. In 1990 a building at Amherst College was named the Eugene S. Wilson Admission Center in his honor.

Attributed

 * For generations prior to the last war, the central problem of admissions at Amherst and similar institutions had been one of recruitment—finding enough qualified candidates to fill each entering class. Since 1946, however, the central problem of admissions has increasingly been one of selection— picking the "best" candidates from a great excess of qualified applicants.
 * Said in 1959 per Elizabeth Duffy and Idana Goldberg, Crafting a Class: College Admissions and Financial Aid, 1955–1994, Princeton University Press, 1998, p. 37

 * Educators everywhere must seek new ways to promote the idea that learning is something a student does with books and materials, and a teacher who cares; that learning can happen in college and outside; and that a student's intellectual growth depends far less on geography (which college) than on what advantage he takes of the opportunities which surround him wherever he is.
 * "What's Going On in Schools and Colleges", Kiplinger's Personal Finance, April 1961, p. 31
 * A portion of this is quoted earlier in "Education: Little Known", Time, 5 December 1960

 * Only the curious will learn and only the resolute overcome the obstacles to learning. The Quest Quotient has always interested me more than the Intelligence Quotient.

 * Too often secondary school counselors seem to press academically talented students toward an early vocational choice. We believe more mistakes are made by an early vocational decision than a delayed decision, especially by students who are intellectually gifted and who possess wide interests.

 * Neutral. The current content of the article seems fairly inane, but that alone isn't a reason to delete an article, merely one to improve or stub-tag it (the latter of which I just did). The real questions are (A) "Is this a notable subject?" and (B) "Is it likely to have enough quotes for a minimal article?". I don't know enough to answer (B), which seems to be the basis of SPKx's objection, but other webcomics seem to provide enough quotes for their subjects. As far as (A) notability goes, Sprite comic claims that this is the "first well documented sprite comic", but the WP article doesn't currently list a single reliable source, making this assertion highly questionable. (The webcomic itself only hits 224K in Alexa, although it has a solid Google presence.) If I was sure this couldn't be remedied, I'd vote delete (and nominate the WP article for deletion as well).

Pantheism

Pantheism is the view that everything is part of an all-encompassing immanent abstract God; or that the universe, or nature, and God are equivalent.

Quotes

 * Sorted alphabetically by author or source

 * Ought not men of intelligence, and indeed men of every kind, to be stirred up to examine the nature of this opinion? For there is no need of excellent capacity for this task, that putting away the desire of contention, they may observe that if God is the soul of the world, and the world is as a body to Him, who is the soul, He must be one living being consisting of soul and body, and that this same God is a kind of womb of nature containing all things in Himself, so that the lives and souls of all living things are taken, according to the manner of each one’s birth, out of His soul which vivifies that whole mass, and therefore nothing at all remains which is not a part of God.  And if this is so, who cannot see what impious and irreligious consequences follow, such as that whatever one may trample, he must trample a part of God, and in slaying any living creature, a part of God must be slaughtered?  But I am unwilling to utter all that may occur to those who think of it, yet cannot be spoken without irreverence.
 * St. Augustine, City of God (426), Book 4, Chapter 12

 * Concerning the rational animal himself,—that is, man,—what more unhappy belief can be entertained than that a part of God is whipped when a boy is whipped? And who, unless he is quite mad, could bear the thought that parts of God can become lascivious, iniquitous, impious, and altogether damnable?  In brief, why is God angry at those who do not worship Him, since these offenders are parts of Himself?
 * St. Augustine, City of God (426), Book 4, Chapter 13

 * Pantheism is sexed up atheism. Deism is watered-down theism.
 * Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion (2006), "A deeply religious non-believer", p. 40

 * Scientific research can reduce superstition by encouraging people to think and view things in terms of cause and effect. Certain it is that a conviction, akin to religious feeling, of the rationality and intelligibility of the world lies behind all scientific work of a higher order. [...] This firm belief, a belief bound up with a deep feeling, in a superior mind that reveals itself in the world of experience, represents my conception of God. In common parlance this may be described as "pantheistic" (Spinoza).
 * Albert Einstein, in Japanese Magazine Kaizō (1923), sourced from Einstein, Albert (2010). Ideas And Opinions. New York: Three Rivers Press, p. 262.

 * A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.
 * Albert Einstein, Condolence letter to Norman Salit, 4 March 1950. Quoted in The Einstein Papers. A Man of Many Parts, 29 March 1972, The New York Times

 * To me, nature is sacred. Trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals.

 * Theists believe that God and the Universe are at least in part separate and distinct beings. For pantheists there is only one all-embracing Reality: the Universe. [...] [T]he unity of the universe and nature is not just a feeling or an abstract belief: it has a solid basis in science. [...] Every single particle, every star, every being in the universe is linked by the force of gravity. A quasar on the edge of the observable universe has some effect, however small, on each of our bodies. The whole universe is a tightly woven mesh of electromagnetic radiation. Everything emits photons of energy which race in all directions. Everything is made of the same sub-atomic constituents, held together by the same forces. And everything transmutes into everything else.
 * Paul Harrison, Elements of Pantheism, 3rd edition (2013), p. 45-46.

 * God thus excludes the world; he is only its cause; in no sense is he effect, of himself or anything else. Pantheism (better, "pandeism," for again it is not really the theos that is described) means that God is the integral totality of ordinary cause-effects, and that there, is no super-cause independent of ordinary causes and effects.
 * Charles Hartshorne, Man's Vision of God and the Logic of Theism (1964), p. 347

 * Many persons have thought that this Pan [ Pandeism ] related to what has been called Pantheism, or the adoration of universal nature, and that Pantheism was the first system of man. For this opinion I cannot see a shadow of foundation. As I have formerly said, it seems to me contrary to common sense to believe that the ignorant half savage would first worship the ground he treads upon,--that he would raise his mind to so abstruse and so improbable a doctrine as, that the earth he treads upon created him and created itself: for Pantheism instantly comes to this
 * Godfrey Higgins, the Anacalypsis (1833), p. 443

 * There is probably no argument by which the case for theism, or for, deism, or for pantheism in either its pancosmic or acosmic form, can be convincingly proved.
 * Aldous Huxley, The Perennial Philosophy, page 14, (1945)

 * It is I who am the light which is above them All. It is I who am the All. From me did the All come forth, and unto me did the All extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there.
 * Jesus, as quoted in the Gospel of Thomas (c. 50? — c. 140?) attributed to Thomas the Apostle, verse 77

 * In the context of natural theology there is reason to believe that pantheism may fare well if compared with theism. This may be part of the reason why it has been the classic religious alternative to theism.
 * Michael P. Levine, Pantheism: A Non-Theistic Concept of Deity p. 349

 * Many people profess pantheistic beliefs — though somewhat obscurely. Pantheism remains a much neglected topic of inquiry. Given their prevalence, non-theistic notions of deity have not received the kind of careful philosophical attention they deserve. Certainly the central claims of pantheism are prima facie no more "fantastic" than the central claims of theism — and probably a great deal less so.
 * Michael P. Levine, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy''

 * The last people in the world in whom the personality would consent to be absorbed into pantheism is the French.
 * Jules Michelet, Introduction à l'histoire universelle (Paris: Hachette, 1879), p. 136

 * You must go to Mahometanism, to Buddhism, to the East, to the Sufis & Fakirs, to Pantheism, for the right growth of mysticism.
 * Florence Nightingale, in a letter of 2 March 1853, quoted in Suggestions for Thought : Selections and Commentaries (1994), edited by Michael D. Calabria and Janet A. MacRae, p. xiii

 * A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge.
 * Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot (1994) p. 77

 * Pantheism teaches that every thing is intrinsically good and pure ; all originally one with divinity, and that every appearance of wrong or guilt exists but in idea, or depends on the conventional idea entertained of it. Hence its dangerous influence on the moral life and character; for by whatever subtlety of language the meaning may be disguised, and however men may cling to a belief in the all-regulating power of conscience, yet, if this destructive principle be admitted as a ruling fact, the conduct of individuals will be considered as of slight importance, and the eternal distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, set aside, and finally rejected.
 * Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel The Aesthetic and Miscellaneous works 1860 tr p. 469

 * On the whole, one might be surprised that even in the seventeenth century pantheism did not gain a complete victory over theism; for the most original, finest, and most thorough European expositions of it (none of them, of course, will bear comparison with the Upanishads of the Vedas) all came to light at that period, namely through Bruno, Malebranche, Spinoza, and Scotus Erigena. After Scotus Erigena had been lost and forgotten for many centuries, he was again discovered at Oxford and in 1681, thus four years after Spinoza's death, his work first saw the light in print. This seems to prove that the insight of individuals cannot make itself felt so long as the spirit of the age is not ripe to receive it. On the other hand, in our day (1851) pantheism, although presented only in Schelling's eclectic and confused revival thereof, has become the dominant mode of thought of scholars and even of educated people. This is because Kant had preceded it with his overthrow of theistic dogmatism and had cleared the way for it, whereby the spirit of the age was ready for it, just as a ploughed field is ready for the seed.
 * Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena (1851), Vol. I, "Sketch of a History of the Doctrine of the Ideal and the Real"

 * [Malebranche] teaches that we see all things in God himself. This is certainly equivalent to explaining something unknown by something even more unknown. Moreover, according to him, we see not only all things in God, but God is also the sole activity therein, so that physical causes are so only apparently; they are merely occasional causes. (Recherches de la vérité, Livre VI, seconde partie, chap. 3.) And so here we have essentially the pantheism of Spinoza who appears to have learned more from Malebranche than from Descartes.
 * Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena (1851), Vol. I, "Sketch of a History of the Doctrine of the Ideal and the Real"

 * All pantheism must ultimately be shipwrecked on the inescapable demands of ethics, and then on the evil and suffering of the world. If the world is a theophany, then everything done by man, and even by animal, is equally divine and excellent; nothing can be more censurable and nothing more praiseworthy than anything else; hence there is no ethics.
 * Arthur Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation, Vol. II, Ch. XLVII

 * The chief objection I have to pantheism is that it says nothing. To call the world God is not to explain it; it is only to enrich our language with a superfluous synonym for the word "world".
 * Arthur Schopenhauer, A Few Words On Pantheism (1851)

 * Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived. God is the indwelling, and not the transient cause of all things.
 * Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, Part I, Propositions 15 and 18

 * Every idea of every body, or of every particular thing actually existing, necessarily involves the eternal and infinite essence of God.
 * Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, Part II, Propositions 45

 * Hence we see, that the infinite essence and the eternity of God are known to all. Now as all things are in God, and conceived through God, we can from this knowledge infer many things, which we may adequately know, and we may form that third kind of knowledge... Men have not so clear a knowledge of God as they have of general notions, because they are unable to imagine God as they do bodies, and also because they have associated the name God with images of things that they are in the habit of seeing, as indeed they can hardly avoid doing, being, as they are, men, and continually affected by external bodies. ...Very many controversies have arisen from the fact, that men do not rightly explain their meaning, or do not rightly interpret the meaning of others. For, as a matter of fact, as they flatly contradict themselves, they assume now one side, now another, of the argument, so as to oppose the opinions, which they consider mistaken and absurd in their opponents.
 * Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, Part II, Propositions 47: Note

 * The more we understand particular things, the more do we understand God.
 * Baruch Spinoza, Ethics, Part V, Propositions 24

 * As a scientist, I am happy to look down the hierarchy for an understanding of the parts and their properties. As a pantheist, my spirituality finds its expression at the highest reaches of the hierarchy. When I say that my god is coterminous with the cosmos I hope to imply that my god is that system for which there is no supersystem. I hasten to add that my god is NOT anything and everything, but rather the ALL. I do not worship each and every part, but rather the whole shebang as a totality. I can accept the loss of a single tree, but I will fight to save the forest. The biosphere is more sacred to me than any single species, including Homo sapiens.
 * Lloyd West, as quoted in Pan: The Quarterly Magazine of the World Pantheist Movement (Summer 2000), p. 11

Quotes

 * From lower to the higher next, Not to the top, is Nature’s text; And embryo Good, to reach full stature, Absorbs the Evil in its nature.
 * Festina Lente, Moral

 * They came three thousand miles, and died, To keep the Past upon its throne; Unheard, beyond the ocean tide, Their English mother made her moan.

 * The only faith that wears well and holds its color in all weathers, is that which is woven of conviction and set with the sharp mordant of experience.
 * Abraham Lincoln (1864)

 * When I was a beggarly boy, And lived in a cellar damp, I had not a friend nor a toy, But I had Aladdin's lamp.
 * Aladdin, st. 1 (1868)

 * The clear, sweet singer with the crown of snow Not whiter than the thoughts that housed below.
 * Epistle to George William Curtis (1874)

 * But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet Lessen like sound of friends’ departing feet; And Death is beautiful as feet of friend Coming with welcome at our journey’s end. For me Fate gave, whate’er she else denied, A nature sloping to the southern side; I thank her for it, though when clouds arise Such natures double-darken gloomy skies.
 * Epistle to George William Curtis (1874)

 * The child is not mine as the first was, I cannot sing it to rest, I cannot lift it up fatherly And bliss it upon my breast; Yet it lies in my little one's cradle And sits in my little one's chair, And the light of the heaven she's gone to Transfigures its golden hair.
 * The Changeling, st. 7 (1879)

 * The soil out of which such men as he are made is good to be born on, good to live on, good to die for and to be buried in.

 * If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly free and brave? If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a brother's pain, Are ye not base slaves indeed, Slaves unworthy to be freed?
 * St. 1

 * Is true Freedom but to break Fetters for our own dear sake, And, with leathern hearts, forget That we owe mankind a debt? No! true freedom is to share All the chains our brothers wear, And, with heart and hand, to be Earnest to make others free!
 * St. 3

 * They are slaves who fear to speak For the fallen and the weak; They are slaves who will not choose Hatred, scoffing, and abuse, Rather than in silence shrink From the truth they needs must think; They are slaves who dare not be In the right with two or three.
 * St. 4

Poems (1844)

 * Poems (Cambridge: John Owen, 1844)

 * His words were simple words enough, And yet he used them so, That what in other mouths was rough In his seemed musical and low.
 * "The Shepherd of King Admetus", stanza 5, p. 107

 * All thoughts that mould the age begin Deep down within the primitive soul.
 * "An Incident in a Railroad Car", p. 114

 * It may be glorious to write Thoughts that shall glad the two or three High souls, like those far stars that come in sight Once in a century.
 * "An Incident in a Railroad Car", p. 115

 * New times demand new measures and new men; The world advances, and in time outgrows The laws which in our father's times were best; And doubtless, after us, some purer scheme Will be shaped out by wiser men than we, Made wiser by the steady growth of truth.
 * "A Glance Behind the Curtain" (1843), p. 176

 * No man is born into the world whose work Is not born with him. There is always work, And tools to work withal, for those who will; And blessed are the horny hands of toil.

The Present Crisis (1844)
The Present Crisis (1844)

 * Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight, Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right, And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that darkness and that light.
 * St. 5

 * Hast thou chosen, O my people, on whose party thou shalt stand, Ere the Doom from its worn sandals shakes the dust against our land? Though the cause of Evil prosper, yet ’tis Truth alone is strong, And, albeit she wander outcast now, I see around her throng Troops of beautiful, tall angels, to enshield her from all wrong.
 * St. 6

 * Careless seems the great Avenger; history's pages but record One death-grapple in the darkness 'twixt old systems and the Word; Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,— Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
 * St. 8

 * We see dimly in the Present what is small and what is great, Slow of faith how weak an arm may turn this iron helm of fate, But the soul is still oracular; amid the market's din, List the ominous stern whisper from the Delphic cave within,— "They enslave their children's children who make compromise with sin."
 * St. 9

 * Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and 't is prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside, Doubting in his abject spirit, till his Lord is crucified, And the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.
 * St. 11

 * Count me o'er earth's chosen heroes, — they were souls that stood alone, While the men they agonized for hurled the contumelious stone, Stood serene, and down the future saw the golden beam incline To the side of perfect justice, mastered by their faith divine, By one man's plain truth to manhood and to God's supreme design.
 * St. 12

 * New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! we ourselves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea, Nor attempt the Future’s portal with the Past’s blood-rusted key.
 * St. 18

 * I first drew in New England's air, and from her hardy breast Sucked in the tyrant-hating milk that will not let me rest.

 * Before Man made us citizens, great Nature made us men.

 * The traitor to humanity is the traitor most accursed; Man is more than Constitutions; better rot beneath the sod, Than to be true to Church and State while we are doubly false to God!

 * Not only around our infancy Doth heaven with all its splendors lie; Daily, with souls that cringe and plot, We Sinais climb and know it not.
 * Prelude to Pt. I, st. 2

 * Earth gets its price for what Earth gives us; The beggar is taxed for a corner to die in, The priest hath his fee who comes and shrives us, We bargain for the graves we lie in; At the Devil's booth are all things sold Each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold.
 * Prelude to Pt. I, st. 3

 * There is no price set on the lavish summer, And June may be had by the poorest comer.
 * Prelude to Pt. I, st. 3

 * For a cap and bells our lives we pay, Bubbles we earn with a whole soul's tasking: 'Tis heaven alone that is given away, 'Tis only God may be had for the asking.
 * Prelude to Pt. I, st. 4

 * And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays: Whether we look, or whether we listen, We hear life murmur, or see it glisten; Every clod feels a stir of might, An instinct within it that reaches and towers, And, grasping blindly above it for light, Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers.
 * Prelude to Pt. I, st. 5

 * Now the heart is so full that a drop overfills it; We are happy now because God wills it.
 * Prelude to Pt. I, st. 6

 * Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how; Everything is happy now, Everything is upward striving; 'Tis as easy now for the heart to be true As for grass to be green or skies to be blue,— 'Tis the natural way of living: Who knows whither the clouds have fled? In the unscarred heaven they leave no wake; And the eyes forget the tears they have shed, The heart forgets its sorrow and ache; The soul partakes the season's youth, And the sulphurous rifts of passion and woe Lie deep 'neath a silence pure and smooth, Like burnt-out craters healed with snow.
 * Prelude to Pt. I, st. 7

 * The Holy Supper is kept, indeed, In whatso we share with another's need,— Not that which we give, but what we share,— For the gift without the giver is bare; Who bestows himself with his alms feeds three,— Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.
 * Pt. II, st. 8

 * In creating, the only hard thing's to begin; A grass-blade's no easier to make than an oak, If you've once found the way you've achieved the grand stroke.
 * Pt. I - Emerson, st. 1

 * And I honor the man who is willing to sink Half his present repute for the freedom to think, And, when he has thought, be his cause strong or weak, Will risk t'other half for the freedom to speak, Caring naught for what vengeance the mob has in store, Let that mob be the upper ten thousand or lower.
 * Pt. V - Cooper, st. 3

 * There comes Poe, with his raven, like Barnaby Rudge, Three-fifths of him genius and two-fifths sheer fudge.

The Election in November 1860 (1860)
Online text, The Atlantic

 * In a society like ours, where every man may transmute his private thought into history and destiny by dropping it into the ballot-box, a peculiar responsibility rests upon the individual. Nothing can absolve us from doing our best to look at all public questions as citizens, and therefore in some sort as administrators and rulers. For, though during its term of office the government be practically as independent of the popular will as that of Russia, yet every fourth year the people are called upon to pronounce upon the conduct of their affairs.

 * Whatever be the effect of slavery upon the States where it exists, there can be no doubt that its moral influence upon the North has been most disastrous. It has compelled our politicians into that first fatal compromise with their moral instincts and hereditary principles which makes all consequent ones easy; it has accustomed us to makeshifts instead of statesmanship, to subterfuge instead of policy, to party-platforms for opinions, and to a defiance of the public sentiment of the civilized world for patriotism.

 * Both of them mean that Labor has no rights which Capital is bound to respect,—that there is no higher law than human interest and cupidity.
 * Referring to John C. Breckenridge and Stephen A. Douglas (Abraham Lincoln's opponents)

 * To be told that we ought not to agitate the question of Slavery, when it is that which is forever agitating us, is like telling a man with the fever and ague on him to stop shaking and he will be cured. The discussion of Slavery is said to be dangerous, but dangerous to what?...Discussion is the very life of free institutions, the fruitful mother of all political and moral enlightenment, and yet the question of all questions must be tabooed.

 * It is the tendency of all creeds, opinions, and political dogmas that have once defined themselves in institutions to become inoperative.

 * We are persuaded that the election of Mr. Lincoln will do more than anything else to appease the excitement of the country. He has proved both his ability and his integrity; he has had experience enough in public affairs to make him a statesman, and not enough to make him a politician.

 * The encroachments of Slavery upon our national policy have been like those of a glacier in a Swiss valley. Inch by inch, the huge dragon with his glittering scales and crests of ice coils itself onward, an anachronism of summer, the relic of a bygone world where such monsters swarmed. But it has its limit, the kindlier forces of Nature work against it, and the silent arrows of the sun are still, as of old, fatal to the frosty Python. Geology tells us that such enormous devastators once covered the face of the earth, but the benignant sunlight of heaven touched them, and they faded silently, leaving no trace but here and there the scratches of their talons, and the gnawed boulders scattered where they made their lair. We have entire faith in the benignant influence of Truth, the sunlight of the moral world, and believe that slavery, like other worn-out systems, will melt gradually before it.

 * A Moosehead Journal.

Ode Recited at the Harvard Commemoration (July 21, 1865)

 * Our slender life runs rippling by, and glides Into the silent hollow of the past; What is there that abides To make the next age better for the last?
 * St. 3.

 * The little that we do Is but half-nobly true; With our laborious hiving What men call treasure, and the gods call dross, Life seems a jest of Fate's contriving, Only secure in every one's conniving, A long account of nothings paid with loss.
 * St. 3.

 * Nature, they say, doth dote, And cannot make a man Save on some worn-out plan, Repeating us by rote.
 * St. 5.

 * Here was a type of the true elder race, And one of Plutarch's men talked with us face to face.
 * St. 5.

 * They come transfigured back, Secure from change in their high-hearted ways, Beautiful evermore, and with the rays Of morn on their white Shields of Expectation!
 * St. 8.

 * "Villa Franca. 1859", p. 188

 * Along A River-Side, I Know Not Where, I walked one night in mystery of dream; A chill creeps curdling yet beneath my hair, To think what chanced me by the pallid gleam Of a moon-wraith that waned through haunted air.
 * "The Washers of the Shroud. October 1861", stanza 1, p. 231

 * God, give us peace! not such as lulls to sleep, But sword on thigh and brow with purpose knit! And let our Ship of State to harbor sweep, Her ports all up, her battle lanterns lit, And her leashed thunders gathering for their leap!

The Cathedral (1870)

 * The Cathedral (Boston: Fields, Osgood & Co., 1870)

 * Ye come and go incessant; we remain Safe in the hallowed quiets of the past; Be reverent, ye who flit and are forgot, Of faith so nobly realized as this.
 * Stanza 9, pp. 21–22

 * How little inventiveness there is in man, Grave copier of copies, I give thanks For a new relish, careless to inquire My pleasure's pedigree, if so it please, Nobly, I mean, nor renegade to art. The Grecian gluts me with its perfectness, Unanswerable as Euclid, self-contained, The one thing finished in this hasty world, Forever finished, though the barbarous pit, Fanatical on hearsay, stamp and shout As if a miracle could be encored.
 * Stanza 9, pp. 22–23

Literary Essays, vol. II (1870–1890)

 * Toward no crimes have men shown themselves so cold-bloodedly cruel as in punishing differences in belief.
 * Witchcraft

 * If there are men who regret the Good Old Times, without too clear a notion of what they were, they should at least be thankful that we are rid of that misguided energy of faith which justifies conscience in making men unrelentingly cruel.
 * Witchcraft

 * He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson of statecraft.

 * One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.
 * Shakespeare once more

New England Two Centuries Ago

 * From the summit of power men no longer turn their eyes upward, but begin to look about them. Aspiration sees only one side of every question; possession, many.

 * Truly there is a tide in the affairs of men; but there is no gulf-stream setting forever in one direction.

 * There is no better ballast for keeping the mind steady on its keel, and saving it from all risk of crankiness, than business.

 * It was in making education not only common to all, but in some sense compulsory on all, that the destiny of the free republics of America was practically settled.

 * Simple as it seems, it was a great discovery that the key of knowledge could turn both ways, that it could open, as well as lock, the door of power to the many.

 * Puritanism, believing itself quick with the seed of religious liberty, laid, without knowing it, the egg of democracy.

Rousseau and the Sentimentalists

 * Talent is that which is in a man's power; genius is that in whose power a man is.

 * There is no work of genius which has not been the delight of mankind, no word of genius to which the human heart and soul have not sooner or later responded.

 * Every man feels instinctively that all the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.

 * Sentiment is intellectualized emotion, — emotion precipitated, as it were, in pretty crystals by the fancy.

 * No man can produce great things who is not thoroughly sincere in dealing with himself.

Literary Essays, vol. III (1870-1890)

 * An umbrella is of no avail against a Scotch mist.
 * On a Certain Condescension in Foreigners

 * Solitude is as needful to the imagination as society is wholesome for the character.
 * Dryden

 * Where Church and State are habitually associated it is natural that minds, even of a high order, should unconsciously come to regard religion as only a subtler mode of police.
 * Dryden

 * A wise skepticism is the first attribute of a good critic.
 * Shakespeare Once More

On Democracy (6 October 1884)
On Democracy, Address in Birmingham, England (6 October 1884)

 * He must be a born leader or misleader of men, or must have been sent into the world unfurnished with that modulating and restraining balance-wheel which we call a sense of humor, who, in old age, has as strong a confidence in his opinions and in the necessity of bringing the universe into conformity with them as he had in youth. In a world the very condition of whose being is that it should be in perpetual flux, where all seems mirage, and the one abiding thing is the effort to distinguish realities from appearances, the elderly man must be indeed of a singularly tough and valid fibre who is certain that he has any clarified residuum of experience, any assured verdict of reflection, that deserves to be called an opinion, or who, even if he had, feels that he is justified in holding mankind by the button while he is expounding it.

 * I hear America sometimes playfully accused of sending you all your storms, and am in the habit of parrying the charge by alleging that we are enabled to do this because, in virtue of our protective system, we can afford to make better bad weather than anybody else. And what wiser use could we make of it than to export it in return for the paupers which some European countries are good enough to send over to us who have not attained to the same skill in the manufacture of them?

 * There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat. And in this case, also, the prudent will prepare themselves to encounter what they cannot prevent. Some people advise us to put on the brakes, as if the movement of which we are conscious were that of a railway train running down an incline. But a metaphor is no argument, though it be sometimes the gunpowder to drive one home and imbed it in the memory.

 * One of the most curious of these frenzies of exclusion was that against the emancipation of the Jews. All share in the government of the world was denied for centuries to perhaps the ablest, certainly the most tenacious, race that had ever lived in it - the race to whom we owed our religion and the purest spiritual stimulus and consolation to be found in all literature - a race in which ability seems as natural and hereditary as the curve of their noses, and whose blood, furtively mingling with the bluest bloods in Europe, has quickened them with its own indomitable impulsion.

 *  I have hinted that what people are afraid of in democracy is less the thing itself than what they conceive to be its necessary adjuncts and consequences. It is supposed to reduce all mankind to a dead level of mediocrity in character and culture, to vulgarize men's conceptions of life, and therefore their code of morals, manners, and conduct — to endanger the rights of property and possession. But I believe that the real gravamen of the charges lies in the habit it has of making itself generally disagreeable by asking the Powers that Be at the most inconvenient moment whether they are the powers that ought to be. If the powers that be are in a condition to give a satisfactory answer to this inevitable question, they need feel in no way discomfited by it.

 * Few people take the trouble of trying to find out what democracy really is. Yet this would be a great help, for it is our lawless and uncertain thoughts, it is the indefiniteness of our impressions, that fill darkness, whether mental or physical, with spectres and hobgoblins. Democracy is nothing more than an experiment in government, more likely to succeed in a new soil, but likely to be tried in all soils, which must stand or fall on its own merits as others have done before it. For there is no trick of perpetual motion in politics any more than in mechanics.

 * The framers of the American Constitution were far from wishing or intending to found a democracy in the strict sense of the word, though, as was inevitable, every expansion of the scheme of government they elaborated has been in a democratical direction. But this has been generally the slow result of growth, and not the sudden innovation of theory; in fact, they had a profound disbelief in theory, and knew better than to commit the folly of breaking with the past. They were not seduced by the French fallacy that a new system of government could be ordered like a new suit of clothes. They would as soon have thought of ordering a new suit of flesh and skin. It is only on the roaring loom of time that the stuff is woven for such a vesture of their thought and experience as they were meditating. They recognized fully the value of tradition and habit as the great allies of permanence and stability. They all had that distaste for innovation which belonged to their race, and many of them a distrust of human nature derived from their creed.

 * Their problem was how to adapt English principles and precedents to the new conditions of American life, and they solved it with singular discretion. They put as many obstacles as they could contrive, not in the way of the people's will, but of their whim.

 * Their children learned the lesson of compromise only too well, and it was the application of it to a question of fundamental morals that cost us our civil war. We learned once for all that compromise makes a good umbrella but a poor roof; that it is a temporary expedient, often wise in party politics, almost sure to be unwise in statesmanship.

 * Truth, after all, wears a different face to everybody, and it would be too tedious to wait till all were agreed. She is said to lie at the bottom of a well, for the very reason, perhaps, that whoever looks down in search of her sees his own image at the bottom, and is persuaded not only that he has seen the goddess, but that she is far better looking than he had imagined.

 * The democratic theory is that those Constitutions are likely to prove steadiest which have the broadest base, that the right to vote makes a safety - valve of every voter, and that the best way of teaching a man how to vote is to give him the chance of practice. For the question is no longer the academic one, "Is it wise to give every man the ballot?" but rather the practical one, "Is it prudent to deprive whole classes of it any longer?" It may be conjectured that it is cheaper in the long run to lift men up than to hold them down, and that the ballot in their hands is less dangerous to society than a sense of wrong in their heads.

 * An appeal to the reason of the people has never been known to fail in the long run.

 * All free governments, whatever their name, are in reality governments by public opinion, and it is on the quality of this public opinion that their prosperity depends. It is, therefore, their first duty to purify the element from which they draw the breath of life. With the growth of democracy grows also the fear, if not the danger, that this atmosphere may be corrupted with poisonous exhalations from lower and more malarious levels, and the question of sanitation becomes more instant and pressing. Democracy in its best sense is merely the letting in of light and air.

 * Communism means barbarism, but Socialism means, or wishes to mean, cooperation and community of interests, sympathy, the giving to the hands not so large a share as to the brains, but a larger share than hitherto in the wealth they must combine to produce - means, in short, the practical application of Christianity to life, and has in it the secret of an orderly and benign reconstruction.

 * I do not believe in violent changes, nor do I expect them. Things in possession have a very firm grip. One of the strongest cements of society is the conviction of mankind that the state of things into which they are born is a part of the order of the universe, as natural, let us say, as that the sun should go round the earth. It is a conviction that they will not surrender except on compulsion, and a wise society should look to it that this compulsion be not put upon them. For the individual man there is no radical cure, outside of human nature itself, for the evils to which human nature is heir.

 * In the scales of the destinies brawn will never weigh so much as brain. Our healing is not in the storm or in the whirlwind, it is not in monarchies, or aristocracies, or democracies, but will be revealed by the still small voice that speaks to the conscience and the heart, prompting us to a wider and wiser humanity.

Democracy and Other Addresses (1886)

 * It is not the insurrections of ignorance that are dangerous, but the revolts of intelligence.

 * There is no good in arguing with the inevitable. The only argument available with an east wind is to put on your overcoat.

 * Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.

Heartsease and Rue (1888)

 * Heartsease and Rue (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1888)

 * These pearls of thought in Persian gulfs were bred, Each softly lucent as a rounded moon; The diver Omar plucked them from their bed, Fitzgerald strung them on an English thread.
 * "In a Copy of Omar Khayyam", stanza 1, p. 26

 * The wisest man could ask no more of Fate Than to be simple, modest, manly, true, Safe from the Many, honored by the Few; To count as naught in World or Church or State; But inwardly in secret to be great.
 * "Jeffries Wyman. Died September 4, 1874" (1874), p. 38

 * The Maple puts her corals on in May, While loitering frosts about the lowlands cling, To be in tune with what the robins sing.
 * "Sonnet, The Maple" (1875), p. 113

 * In life's small things be resolute and great To keep thy muscle trained: know'st thou when Fate Thy measure takes, or when she'll say to thee, "I find thee worthy; do this deed for me"?
 * Epigram, p. 216.

 * As life runs on, the road grows strange With faces new, and near the end The milestones into headstones change, 'Neath every one a friend.
 * "Sixty-eighth Birthday", p. 218

Quotes about Lowell

 * Most of the books published during the five-year period leading up to, during, and after the invasion of Mexico were war-mongering tracts. Euro-American settlers were nearly all literate, and this was the period of the foundational "American literature," with writers James Fenimore Cooper, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, John Greenleaf Whittier, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville all active-each of whom remains read, revered, and studied in the twenty-first century, as national and nationalist writers, not as colonialists. Although some of the writers, like Melville and Longfellow, paid little attention to the war, most of the others either fiercely supported it or opposed it...Opposition to the Mexican War came from writers who were active abolitionists such as Thoreau, Whittier, and Lowell. They believed the war was a plot of southern slave owners to extend slavery, punishing Mexico for having outlawed slavery when it became independent from Spain. However, even the abolitionists believed in the "manifest destiny of the English race," as Lowell put it in 1859, "to occupy this whole continent and to display there that practical understanding in matters of government and colonization which no other race has given such proof of possessing since the Romans."
 * Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States (2014)

 * The thing he loved most in the world after his country was the English tongue, of which he was an infallible master, and his devotion to which was in fact a sort of agent in his patriotism.
 * Henry James, Essays in London and Elsewhere (1893), p. 62

 * It was the great Frederick Douglass, who had a price on his head, who said “Without struggle, there is no progress.” And echoing his words was the answer of the great abolitionist poet, James Russell Lowell: “The limits of tyranny is proscribed by the measure of our resistance to it”.
 * Claudia Jones, Statement (January 1953)

 * I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals Himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings"
 * Albert Einstein

 * A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish the delusion but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.
 * Albert Einstein

 * God does not die on that day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die when our lives cease to be illuminated by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reasoning. When the sense of the earth unites with the sense of one's body, one becomes earth of the earth, a plant among plants, an animal born from the soil and fertilizing it. In this union, the body is confirmed in its pantheism
 * Dag Hammarskjöld

 * I believe in God, only I spell it "Nature". Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Nikhilkabadi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nikhilkabadi~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Eugene S. Wilson
I have added a "" template to the article Eugene S. Wilson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but it may not satisfy Wikiquote's criteria for inclusion, for the reasons given in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikiquote is not" and Wikiquote's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Votes for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
