Emerson said it

• "Without abolishing our arms, magazines, commissaries, and carriages, until, in imitation of the Roman custom, the soldier should receive his supply of corn, grind it in his hand-mill, and bake his bread himself."
• "The foolish face of praise"
• "They do not seem to me to be such; but if I am the Devil's child, I will live then from the Devil"
• "But these impulses may be from below, not from above."
• 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.'
