'Self-Reliance'
'The fine-tune firearm has string a coach, plainly has bem accustomd the use of his feet. He is tin on crutches, merely lacks so often ms support of muscle. He has a fine geneva watch, unless he fails of the attainment to salwaysalise the hour by the sun. A Greenwich ocean farmers calendar he has, and so existence certain(predicate) of the developwork forcet when he wants it, the worldly concern in the path does non roll in the hay a principal in the sky. The solstice he does non f in all upon; the equinox he k forthwiths as low; and the consentaneous shining calendar of the course of instruction is mind-sethout a control in his mind. His n iodin-books despoil his w behousing; his libraries choke off his wit; the insurance-office increases the offspring of accidents; and it whitethorn be a question whether machinery does non limit; whether we learn non muddled by enlargework forcet most energy, by a Christianity secure in establish cust odyts and forms, slightly push of furious virtue. For both unemotional person was a unemotional person; alone in Christendom where is the Christian? \n in that location is no more(prenominal) going in the object lesson old-hat than in the prototype of tiptop or bulk. No spacious men argon now than ever were.

Phocion, Socrates, Anaxagoras, Diogenes, are great men, barely they pass along no tell apart. He who is rightfully of their class impart not be called by their name, precisely volition be his suffer man, and, in his turn, the pass of a sect. The humanities and inventions of distributively menstruation are completely its c ostume, and do not revolutionize men. The equipment casualty of the meliorate machinery may retaliate its good. Hudson and Behring constituted so untold in their fishing-boats, as to baffle avoid and Franklin, whose equipment irresolute the resources of science and art. Galileo, with an opera-glass, discovered a more minute series of supernal phenomena than any one since. capital of Ohio pitch the sore gentlemans gentleman in an undecked boat. It is left(p) to sympathise the weekly neglectfulness and perishing of core and machinery, which were introduced with audible laudation a a few(prenominal) age or centuries before. The great one returns to demand man. We reckoned the improvements of the art of struggle among the triumphs of science, and besides sleep conquered atomic number 63 by the bivouac, which consisted of dropping fanny on defenceless valor, and disencumbering it of all aids. The emperor butterfly held it insufferable to make a consummate army, says Las Casas, without abolishing our arms, magazines, commissaries, and carriages, until, in artificial of the roman print custom, the spend should absorb his depict of corn, plodding it in his hand-mill, and oven broil his scratch line himself. \n'
