Every promise of the soul has innumerable fulfillments; each of its joys ripens into a new want.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEvery man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe craft with which the world is made runs also into the mind and character of men. No man is quite sane; each has a vein of folly in his composition, a slight determination of blood to the head, to make sure of holding him hard to some one point which Nature has taken to heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
