When I have attempted to join myself to others by services, it proved an intellectual trick,-no more. They eat your service like apples, and leave you out. But love them, and they feel you, and delight in you all the time.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWe want a state of things in which crime will not pay, a state of things which allows every man the largest liberty compatible with the liberty of every other man.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhenever a mind is simple and receives an old wisdom, old things pass away,--means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it,--one as much as another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
