Paragraph

 1   9|          The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly,
 2   9|         office-holders - serve the state chiefly with their heads;
 3   9|         sense, and men - serve the state with their consciences also,
 4  13|                   To any sovereign state throughout the world."~ ~

 6  24|          sets at naught; as if the state were penitent to that degree
 7  25|           Some are petitioning the State to dissolve the Union, to
 8  25|         between themselves and the State - and refuse to pay their
 9  25|           the same relation to the State that the State does to the
10  25|     relation to the State that the State does to the Union? And have
11  25|         same reasons prevented the State from resisting the Union
12  25|            them from resisting the State?~ ~

14  28|            nine shillings from the State, he is soon permitted to
15  30|        adopting the ways which the State has provided for remedying
16  30|         then? But in this case the State has provided no way: its
17  32|            its representative, the State government, directly, and
18  32|            one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing
19  32|          my esteemed neighbor, the State's ambassador, who will devote
20  32|    prisoner of Massachusetts, that State which is so anxious to foist
21  33|          out and locked out of the State by her own act, as they
22  33|       honorable, ground, where the State places those who are not
23  33|          the only house in a slave State in which a free man can
24  33|      longer afflict the ear of the State, that they would not be
25  33|            up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which
26  33|           pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed
27  34|        most dangerous to a corrupt State, commonly have not spent
28  34| accumulating property. To such the State renders comparatively small
29  34|      without the use of money, the State itself would hesitate to
30  34|          is, if you are men of the State, and gladly enjoy the advantages
31  35|           on the protection of the State. But, if I deny the authority
32  35|          deny the authority of the State when it presents its tax-bill,
33  35|  government. Confucius said: "If a state is governed by the principles
34  35|            subjects of shame; if a state is not governed by the principles
35  35|     penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I
36  36|                Some years ago, the State met me in behalf of the
37  36|    schoolmaster; for I was not the State's schoolmaster, but I supported
38  36|         its tax-bill, and have the State to back its demand, as well
39  36|          clerk; and he has it. The State, having thus learned that
40  37|            his dog. I saw that the State was half-witted, that it
41  38|                           Thus the State never intentionally confronts
42  44|          the scene - the town, and State, and country - greater than
43  44|            yet more distinctly the State in which I lived. I saw
44  45|            miles off, and then the State was nowhere to be seen.~ ~
45  47|           refuse allegiance to the State, to withdraw and stand aloof
46  47|       quietly declare war with the State, after my fashion, though
47  48|           from a sympathy with the State, they do but what they have
48  48|            greater extent than the State requires. If they pay the
49  51|        position of the general and State governments, and the spirit
50  58|                 I believe that the State will soon be able to take
51  58|        very respectable; even this State and this American government
52  63|        really free and enlightened State until the State comes to
53  63|        enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual
54  63|            myself with imagining a State at least which can afford
55  63|        neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of
56  63|          more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined,
