Every individual nature has its own beauty. One is struck in every company, at every fireside, with the riches of nature, when he hears so many new tones, all musical, sees in each person original manners, which have a proper and peculiar charm, and reads new expressions of face. He perceives that nature has laid for each the foundations of a divine building, if the soul will build thereon.
Ralph Waldo EmersonMost of the classical citations you shall hear or read in the current journals or speeches were not drawn from the originals, but from previous quotations in English books.
