The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe soul is not born; it does not die; it was not produced from anyoneย Unborn, eternal, it is not slain, though the body is slain.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIf there be any man who thinks the ruin of a race of men a small matter, compared with the last decoration and completions of hisown comfort,--who would not so much as part with his ice- cream, to save them from rapine and manacles, I think I must not hesitate to satisfy that man that also his cream and vanilla are safer and cheaper by placing the negro nation on a fair footing than by robbing them.
