The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, freezes a man like an apple.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEnthusiasm is the height of man; it is the passing from the human to the divine.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWe write from aspiration and antagonism, as well as from experience. We paint those qualities which we do not posses.
Ralph Waldo EmersonGo out of the house to see the moon, and 't is mere tinsel; it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey. The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who could ever clutch it? Go forth to find it, and it is gone: 't is only a mirage as you look from the windows of diligence.
