Quotations for central

Imagination is central; fancy, superficial. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

In this broad earth of ours,
Amid the measureless grossness and the slag,
Enclosed and safe within its central heart,
Nestles the seed perfection. [ Walt Whitman ]

Right ethics are central, and go from the soul outward. Gift is contrary to the law of the universe. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

Rightly, poetry is organic. We cannot know things by words and writing, but only by taking a central position in the universe and living in its forms. [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]

If the true spark of religious and civil liberty be kindled, it will burn. Human agency cannot extinguish it. Like the earth's central fire, it may be smothered for a time; the ocean may overwhelm it; mountains may press it down; but its inherent and unconquerable force will heave both the ocean and the land, and at some time or other, in some place or other, the volcano will break out and flame up to heaven. [ Daniel Webster ]
