Eloquence shows the power and possibility of man.
      - [Eloquence]

Emerson's Insight: That which we call sin in others is experiment in us.
      - [Laws of Life and Nature]

England, an old and exhausted island, must one day be contented, like other parents, to be strong only in her children.
      - [England]

Ennui shortens life, and bereaves the day of its light.
      - [Ennui]

Enthusiasm goes out.
      - [Enthusiasm]

Enthusiasm is the height of man; it is the passing from the human to the divine.
      - [Enthusiasm]

Enthusiasm is the leaping lightning, not to be measured by the horse-power of the understanding.
      - [Enthusiasm]

Evermore in the world is this marvelous balance of beauty and disgust, magnificence and rats.
      - [Beauty]

Every action is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds.
      - [Sentiment]

Every artist was first an amateur.
      - [Artists]

Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests and mines and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.
      - [Books]

Every chair should be a throne and hold a king.
      - [Kings]

Every evil to which we do not succumb is a benefactor. As the Sandwich islander believes that the strength and valor of the enemy he kills passes into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptations we resist.
      - [Evil]

Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm.
      - [Enthusiasm]

Every great man is a unique. The Scipionism of Scipio is precisely that part he could not borrow.

Every individual nature has its own beauty. One is struck in every company, at every fireside, with the riches of nature, when he hears so many new tones, all musical, sees in each person original manners, which have a proper and peculiar charm, and reads new expressions of face. He perceives that nature has laid for each the foundations of a divine building, if the soul will build thereon.
      - [Individuality]

Every man is as lazy as he dares to be.
      - [Laziness]

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

Every natural action is graceful.
      - [Grace]

Every noble activity makes room for itself.
      - [Action]

Every novel is a debtor to Homer.
      - [Fiction]

Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in.
      - [Ships]
